Hiya not dsure if you know but the link above is not for lift gamma and gain in davinci Resolve but for lightroom... just thought i would let you know buddy. could you post me the link to that video would love to check it out. Thanks. Simon,
Thanks so much for letting me know Simon! I've now updated that link so you should be able to click and head to the right place now! Cheers!
With the color space and input gamma should I use the settings you did? I shot on a BMPCC4k
is color editing avaliable in free version of da vinci?
Yea it is!
First color correction tutorial that doesn't start with "bro, stop making these beginner mistakes" and just gets into a nice lesson. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
I know what you did there 😂😂😂
@@lanresingsvevo4870 Qazi wants to know your location
Sheesh tag his name already 😂
are you talking about Qazi 😂
This program is amazing
Agreed!
It really is, I love it.
Been trying to learn and teach myself Davinci but you just made it make SO MUCH SENSE in such a short amount of time. Thank you!
After watching so many other tutorials that just confused me, this was the first one that made everything easy to understand and follow along. Got great results from following your steps, thank you!
I just started filming, I was looking for a video that was not too long, I know everyone has different methods to color grading but seeing you do it made it look easy. thank you.
You just blew my mind! I'm just starting with grading in Resolve and have watched a ton of videos. This is the first one where the logic has been completely sound and the explanations clear enough to make feel confident in grading with this new platform. You're the man Dunna!
Feel you!!!
totally agree lol
lekkker
@@chadnathan5681 my bru
Thanks dude!!
I actually applied all the steps and it works wonders, thanks for showing this process! It is also versatile if you save and use it as a powergrade & only readjust some nodes for footage from the same location.
I just moved from PR to Davinci and for last few day i've been watching videos about Davinci,this video by far was the best.Thanks Dunna and looking forward to learn more from you.
This is the first colour correction tutorial I've seen that explains nodes! Thank you so much!
Yesterday I finally decided to jump from Premiere into DaVinci , so today was the first day and i dedicated it entirely to absorbing as much info as i could to have an understanding of it…From basic tutorials, to more advanced ones to see what features DaVinci has , to reading comments, people with different opinions and bringing up topics , looking up those topics , etc. Now 15 hours later back at your video and definitely having a much easier time folowing through the process, still overwhelmed but excited to get to work and keep going.
Great one ! Thank you for your help!
Thank you for this! Love how clearly you explain it and love the finished grade. Been playing with grading for 6 months or so but can feel really overwhelming when there’s so many variations. Thank you!
Thank you for this! I've been using Da Vinci for sometime but wasn't able to figure out colour grading. You explain it so clearly, showing the process along the way. Glad I found this!
Glad it was helpful!
El mejor tutorial que e visto, no se como explicaste todo tan claro, e visto videos de una hora tratando de enseñar lo mismo que tu en 15 minutos, sigue haciendo videos asi pls.
Man, as someone who is new to this stuff, you did it very well!
Thank you for this. I've wanted to wrap my head around this for some time now!
The most helpful beginner tutorial color grading on TH-cam! Thank you so much 😊
I need to sit down and listen to the teacher. So interesting. On my way around my city. Thank you for the lesson.
Enjoy!!
Quick tip: If you work on a picture for more than 10min your eyes get used to it and do not notice the differences. That's why professional colourist suggest to do the primarily correction on the scoops.
Pretty much everything I needed to know at this stage of my journey in Davinci! THANK YOU!
Excellent I’m coming from Premier Pro I couldn’t deal with it freezing up all the time anymore. At first I didn’t like da Vinci because I was stuck on Premier Pro having used it for so many years, but after giving da Vinci a chance I’m never turning back I got the studio version and I absolutely love it. I never thought of color grading in such a creative way, but now it’s got me motivated to shoot more and really think about the post processing of color, no more dropping a LUT on it and calling it good. SUBSCRIBED
That’s awesome! Glad to hear it! I had a similar experience!
Hey bro i can get vinci studio
Thanks so much for this video! It was super easy to follow along, especially for a beginner like myself. I look forward to using Davinci more!
This is an amazing tutorial, as a beginner in editing and Davinci, this is too much overwhelming for me. But by rewatching this video and practicing, I believe I will able to adapt to your color grading techniques. Thanks a lot!!!
from this video, i can see another perspective about color grading.
such an amazing technique!
Thank you!
I've followed so many color grading tutorials, and I love my colors best with this one! Thank you!!!
I’m so glad to hear that!
I never used Davinci until today. Your tutorial made my first video possible, easy, clear, to the point and learning. Thank you!
Amazing! Thanks for watching!
Going back through all of these videos now that I am switching my studio over to resolve and I forgot just how good your content on this stuff is... so good. so so good.
Thank you!
Just the video I was looking for! Started using Resolve a while back, but I'm still getting to grips with it. This was a huge help, man. Thanks👍
Awesome! Glad to help!!
wooow this is the greatest davinci colour grade video, you made it so simple, explained everything you did and why you did it, explained the nodes perfectly. Thank you
Thanks a ton!
You have a way of making things easy to understand. I've been using Davinci for a little while now and I wish I had this and your other video when I first started!
Wow that’s so kind of you to say! Thank you!!
I used to do the actual film grading for motion picture negative n positive with chemical processing. That was very very complicated. That process used to depend on A To Z color balance with mood n contrast correction. I found the same theme in your work flow. That is really very professional. Keep it up.
Wow! That would be super fun to learn and probably very tedious to do regularly haha. Thanks for the kind words about my process. That’s really cool that it resembles the real film process
@@dunnadidit thanks and I really appreciate your effort to educate us about the simple and efficient colour grading process. Keep it up.
But still able to explain each stage in a basic manner. Honestly thanks man!
I love how sensible Davinci Resolve is. Excellent video!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!
Thanks so much bro, I’ve got as handle on almost everything in Resolve APART from colour balance snd correction. Super appreciated
Awesome, thanks. Love the detailed video about the color grading in Davinci with the Node tree.
I always find myself coming back to this video to refresh my skills. Very straightforward process.
Nice!
This is the first video that actually got me excited about editing videos! Looking forward to try out some colour grading 😊
Thank Dunna, you hands down have the best explanation I’ve seen on how to colour grade in Davinci Resolve. It’s simple and effective as promised. Your one the reason I’m jumping to Davinci fully, I’ve been on the fence about it but thanks to this I’m going in coz I’ve had a license for a while and just never used it.
Thanks for the kind words!!
Dont know why this is the first video which helps me to understand Davinchi and Nodes, Thank you.
I’ve been procrastinating on a colour grade all afternoon cos I couldn’t get my head around it, but this video has been a huge help! Thanks!
Great to hear! Have fun!
This was a super interesting video! I would love to see more resolve tutorials. A basic tutorial on all of Resolve's features would be immensely helpful!
I’ll definitely consider it!
love how you managed to go so in depth without wasting a lot of time. thank you so much I really appreciate it. Your video helped me get started in davinci resolve color grading slog3
Thanks for the love! Glad my video helped you with DaVinci Resolve and slog3 color grading. Keep up the good work!
I don't know why, but this was the first video I've watched, that made me realise nodes in Resolve are just steps in your colour grading!
Now it feels like Resolve's learning curve is less steep, it's definitely got me thinking about downloading it.
Thanks for breaking it down!
That’s amazing to hear! I love knowing that I made things a little more straight forward.
Nodes give you the ability for a lot more than just organization, they also allow you to build off of your previous work. So if I change the luminance levels in one node, I can go to the next node and work from the new luminance levels instead of guessing. Then on top of that there are different types of nodes for different jobs. Basically saying “can’t you just use basic saturation” is like asking a painter why they have different brushes, canvas materials, tools, and techniques instead of just always painting on paper with the same brush in only red.
This is exactly what I needed jumping into davinci!! Makes alot more sense, you beauty, new sub think i need to binge some more davinci tutorials of yours
Dude! Im so glad that i found your tutorial, It is super simple, easy to follow, to the point and well explained! Thanks so much I'm starting a youtube Channel and you have a new subscriber! Cheers!
Excellent tutorial. I truly enjoyed and finally understood the color grading process in DaVinci Resolve and shooting in v-log non-longer worries me.🎉 You are really good at explaining, looking forward to more videos like this. thanks agajn!
Nicely done, I think if you set a keyboard preference key for your node labeling you can access it without all the mouse clicks. I have mine set to the "Tab" key ( nothing else is set to it by default ) - Also I have tried white balancing from snow before - to me when you did that it looked a little cool and you later added some warmth, most likely from the sky reflecting on the snow and making it less white than it actually is. And for some of the new users - in the layer node on the skin, after qualifying the skin you can still put a power window on it and narrow down the selection - not necessarily needed here, but it is a standard thing for a colorist to do, checking the vectorscope at that point is also a good idea. Your eyes can get fatigued while color grading and referencing the vectorscope to confirm what you are looking at ( second opinion ) is always a good option.
Great points
Thanks for making the info so smooth and useable
I have yet to mess around in the colour tab in davinci but now when I do I will know what I am doing!
Thanks for this knowledge!
Nice!
I haven't tried it, but the first time I saw how to color correct in Davinci, it looked like a big problem.
Now after watching this video I'm motivated to give it a try
I finally understood colourgrading! Thanks
Thank you very much for all these informations. I just tried to implement this knowledge into my videos ! 😙
excellent video for a complete beginner, explained nodes perfectly!
What a great video, thank you for simplifying the color grading! For a beginner like me it is super helpful!
Thanks for watching!!
Literally the best explanation of Davinci I’ve seen 🙌🏾
I love your disclaimer.., makes me want to listen n learn more.., as most of us, we're not a professional color grader also..
So it matches well ..
Thx so much! i been looking for some like that!
Yesterday I shot my first s log footage and colored graded it per your tutorial. Looks fantastic so thanks a million.🙂
My pleasure!
Thank you Dunna! You explain it veery well!
Best beginner video with clear steps that Ive seen. Checking out your gamma and gain vid next
this is so cool! Thank you for this tutorial
Thank you sooo much, this is exactly what I was for!
Man, I am trying to switch from Premiere to Resolve and this video it is so simple and make it easy to understand the linear editing that now I just want to try and try it to master it, thanks a lot, this is super useful
Glad to hear it!
Thanks, I'll be doing some of this on my next video!
thanks so much for the work through! You explained everything really good! It's so hard to find someone actually telling you how to color grade on youtube without just selling their luts...
Thanks for saying that! My luts are pretty cool but you need a lot more than that to really know how to grade 😜
Dude I finally watched this as I was color grading and it helped so much.
Nice!! Glad to hear it helped!
thank you Dunna for this fantastic Davinci Resolve tutorial. Your tutorial is very straightforward and easy to understand.
