This is the gold advice from a pro colorist! A lot of people do it wrong and I've seen even youtuber giving out wrong tutorials by putting grade over the LUT. follow the right guy.
You're the best. I've been watching/hearing people defend grading their shots after the LUT over and over. Thanks for clearing it up with this demonstration.
Would you do the same method with another LUTs, like the basics one for the look? Putting your CST in and Out, and the LUT would be the last before the Out? The before the LUT we adjust the exposure, WL etc…?
LUT is the first thing I put in my edit. It goes at the VERY END of the TIMELINE node tree. Then I build my broad stroke look under it, and eventually work my way BACKWARDS to the source in my Clip node tree.
Following the flow would seem to me that it's over and not under the lut. What am I missing in the node tree. Placing a corrector as you say before the lut is not "over" it? Great demonstration btw.
Where does a color space transform go in this pipeline. I see a lot of people teaching CST is the last node and others putting it before the LUT. I imaging if the LUT is doing the rec709 transform it goes last and if a LUT is only creative, it goes creative LUT, then CST to rec709?
Sometimes with the 2383 Film Looks that come with Davinci I get artefacts with very bright saturated colors (they blow out in a bright color). I have got round this sometimes by reducing the saturation using luma vs sat curve, but this seems wrong. Is there another trick to resolving these artefacts? I am using CST to go to Rec 709 Cineon Log before the 2383 LUT.
Great video! I wanted to know if it would be even better to use the Kodak lut connected with a parallel mixer along with the rest of the color grading?
Amazing! So if I want to add sharpening here, should I apply this before or after applying the LUT? I have created a CUBE LUT in Photoshop, and it looks to me like sharpening before gives a better result, what do you think?
So, Does CST node behave like a LUT? Should I place lift/gain, temp and noise reduction before CST? If we talk about CST node as straight conversion direct from log to rec 709
well qazi… isn’t resolve 32bit float.. meaning i can put anything anywhere?😂 by the way your FCM class is cool, but i think the videos are mostly made in 2020…. what are you doing about resolve 19 version and updating your videos?
Hi Qazi.. ^^ Im really curious and have been wondering for a long time about your "Free color grading webinar" but still can't get inside. I don't know why is the loading taking so long and keep "connecting to broadcast" huhu Please help why this keep happening. Because I am really interested to watch it and learn from you so bad :( Thank you so much :)
As I understand it you can apply a CST from camera color space to timeline color space (for example DaVinci wide Gamut), then you do your grading and then you apply another CST from timeline color space to the one the LUT is expecting to receive (rec 709 cineon log in this case)

Thanks a lot Qazi! It's amazing how within less than 10 min I feel like I am learning something I will remember for all my future years of working.!!
Music to my ears, brother. ♥️

Happy to help.
you can't beat the quality of information qazi puts out. what a legend.
😀🙏🏽
The exact info I was trying to understand at the moment! Thank you so much for your great work!
A great video to demonstrate that there's a reason why you need to understand the node tree FIRST before even learning the basics. Great job🎉❤
💯
Great video! So are there any adjustments at all that would be done after the LUT? Or is this always the last step? Thanks!

great tutorial, I have always wondered about this, and you have explained this so well. Thank you

Thanks so much for this info!! This one really hit home.
Great example of node sequence order matters.
expert level discussion , truely inspired by you
🙏🏽
Definitely helpful and I see new resolve users do this a lot.
Very helpful. Excellent breakdown! More of this please The Qazman 🙂
Thank you for the human fonts ❤ u rock! 🔥🔥
Neat, I knew LUT placement mattered, but this is great to see you step through it.
Following the flow would seem to me that it's over and not under the lut. What am I missing in the node tree. Placing a corrector as you say before the lut is not "over" it? Great demonstration btw.
Such a masterclass, as always. What Color Management settings would you recommend for this grade? Thx.
Where does a color space transform go in this pipeline. I see a lot of people teaching CST is the last node and others putting it before the LUT. I imaging if the LUT is doing the rec709 transform it goes last and if a LUT is only creative, it goes creative LUT, then CST to rec709?
Tes au top Bro💯
Great tutorial! I would like to know how to get rid of lifted shadows on Davinci's Kodak lut. I simply can't pull the shadows to zero.
I'll probably do a reel on it.
@@theqazman You are the man 😁
Thanks for the clear explanation....... BRAVO
You're welcome
Thank you Qazi
does the white balance shift to blue does the same like shifting ofsset to blue?
Thank you wagas!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, but for more watch my free webinar. Link in my description.

Thanks for teach
thank you so much!
You're welcome
Thank you for this vidéo.
So in Premiere…🤔
do you have something for beginner that I can buy ? I work with videos and photos
Should color correction be done even before the CST? tk's for the video💯
After
@@theqazman but your doing it before the CST in the video? Now im confused again 🤔

@@VictorAguinaco yeah, but in the example he's going from Arri Alexa camera color space to rec 709 cineon
I do not have the money to buy Resolve yet. But, can I still do this in FCP? In the same way?
Resolve is free. You don't de studio version for this.
Unless your working with 120fps files

Long live brother, you never know how much you're saving peoples ass this end. RESPECT🫡
Yup, luts are allways the last of the line
Not always but I'll leave that for another video.
