you are AMAZING. Thank you. All other tutorials tell you just a little while skipping steps to push you to buy workshops. So grateful, Subscribed!

[@gregormarini]

Even though I'm an "experienced" DaVinci user, I think it's great how you explained it! Well done!

[@colorgradinginsights]

Thank you!

[@ATravelerOfWorlds]

I'm a complete beginner at both editing in Davinci Resolve and color grading. I just binge watched several of your videos, you're the only one who's helped me understand how to wrap my head around this complicated world of colors, LUT's, nodes, etc. And you've made me feel like I can actually learn all this. THANK YOU!

[@colorgradinginsights]

Happy to help!

[@zameerpactyan]

By far the most straight forward and helpful video on the topic across the TH-cam ;) Thanks

[@colorgradinginsights]

Thanks so much!

[@77dris]

Holy moly! This channel is underviewed/subbed. I've watched dozens of other videos on grading etc and NONE come close to the professionalism and clarity of those in this channel... and none have the same sort of final result. Thank you!

[@colorgradinginsights]

Wow, thanks!

[@equisetuminc]

totally agree. plus the presentation is clear and paced well.

[@rubster1975]

Most relaxing voice in the Resolve TH-cam space! Plus: tons of good tips. 👌

[@colorgradinginsights]

Glad you think so!

[@edmondebacitas1608]

finally, a clear demonstration on how to apply luts. Thank you

[@denveraspen]

It is a pleasure to watch a professional work. Your explanation was informative, and I enjoyed the pacing and style of your video.

[@colorgradinginsights]

Thank you very much!

[@vaivmusic]

i hope this lut tutorial wud help me after watching 100 non working lut tutorials

I am asking for advice on how to do the correct color space transform on the Nikon Z6II

[@lifewalklens8447]

Good one

[@maniratnamcreator]

wonderful tutorial. Please do a tutorial on fujifilm flog cinematic look video

[@anglerstudio5942]

Thanks :)

[@colorgradinginsights]

Welcome!

[@henroveenath791]

Why did you use 2 CST nodes instead of one? Can't you select the right selections on just one node?

[@UraFlight]

Hi ! I did apply the LUT same as on this tutorial but my footage from Canon R5C filmed in log-2 looks even more horrible. Any advice please on what I’ve been doing wrong ?

[@leokoost3456]

Thanks

[@colorgradinginsights]

No problem!

[@netjens]

Thanks for this! I wonder when you do the REC.709, why is there no output in the colorspace? well I mean why do you not define it?

[@alecoqui2007]

Her timeline was already Rec.709 so you don’t have to define it since that would be redundant. You can change your timelines color space in the color management settings.

[@NewbieFilmMaker]

Is it possible to just drop a cst at the start of the node tree to cineon log and the last would be your film look?

[@kirankiranmishra]

Q - why you put cineon log and then film lut after red to rec709 convertion ?

[@carloseduardomenjivaraguil3540]

Can you make a tutorial for advanced recovery highlight with diferent type of cameras , like blackmagic and sony (most comun)

[@4008517517]

Looking forward to making a LUT tutorial for logC4 of ARRI Alexa 35, thank you

[@colorgradinginsights]

Noted!

[@RazeN_Gaming]

Where i can find that Kodak LUT´s?

[@allstarbury]

Dont you think that backgroud is a bit overexposed ?

[@Fireandagrill]

So say if you importing S-Log 3 would it be correct to have grades in this order: CST from correct S-Log to Davinci wide gamut - Colour Grade Nodes - CST from Davinci wide gamut to Rec 709 and the gamma to Cineon Film Log - Kodak 2383 Film LUT. Then just deliver in Rec 709, Gamma 2.4?

[@colorgradinginsights]

Yes!

[@Fireandagrill]

Thanks for the reply, so would it be necessary to have a final CST to gamma 2.4 or no?

[@haroldmorganTulsa]

Hello my DaVinci Siren! I knew about the 2383 but wonder about all the other luts I own. Is there some assumption I can make about them?

[@colorgradinginsights]

Hey! I’ve totally missed your comment! I’m using only resolve in build LUTs or the LUTs from the manufacturers, so it’s clear how to use them!

[@mpopimpopi]

Ho so great

[@colorgradinginsights]

Thanks for getting interested in my content!

[@danielphotoa]

I have a question 🙋‍♂️ why is CST (Color Space Transform) placed as the last node and not the first node?
Your videos are very amazing and helpful!! (:

[@jandwstudios9729]

Because you want to work in wide color space. It’s like trying to modify and adjust a jpg vs a raw photo file. Once you apply the cst it becomes 709, which is like a finished jpg. So it goes way at the end, for final output like on YT. Only thing after might be something like grain as it’s not effected by color space, and you don’t want a bunch of different grain colors, by grading it earlier in pipeline.

[@SondreFormoLindheim]

@@jandwstudios9729partly correct. You can add the CST BEFORE and after.
Example:
N1 NR
N2 CST - Camera profile > DaVinci WG
N3 Adjustments
N4 CST DWG > Cineon Film
N5 Filmprint LUT
In that way you’re working on the Rec709 clip in a DWG Color Space until the convertion.
I normally create the CST in the beginning and end - and the LUT at the very end as described above, and work my way backwards on the node tree (From node 3 (or if you have Node 1-8, I would work from Node 6 and backwards)

[@colorgradinginsights]

Good question! So if you place cst on the first node, you’ll loose a lot the camera information as cst compresses the image to rec.709 so it makes the color space you’re working on also rec709 that is very often smaller than the original footage, I hope this makes sense!

[@SondreFormoLindheim]

@@colorgradinginsights wrong - You can easily output DWG on the first CST as described by me above.

[@colorgradinginsights]

@@SondreFormoLindheim Was answering the question why the cst node with an output to rec.709 should be placed at the end. Thanks.

[@favier9856]

Is this node order correct?
Rec709 > CST(cineon) > Lut

[@colorgradinginsights]

Yes!

[@TheNikolasr]

Taka fajna kasia na YT co ma wiedzę o koloryzacjii i nie nagrywa po polsku :) tylko jak wszyscy po EN

[@colorgradinginsights]

Ja nawet nie mam tej nomenklatury po Polsku 😅

[@TheNikolasr]

@@colorgradinginsights numenklatura pozostaje ta sama oczywiste :) Ale Serio nie ma na polskim YT żadnego profi kanału z davinciego. A jak wiadomo rynek nie lubi pustki :)Pozdrawiam

[@deardaughter]

If I downloaded someone else's LUT, how do I know it's specifics? In Text it just says his name, not the specific gamma or input.

[@colorgradinginsights]

Yeah that’s the problem with LUTs purchased somewhere! The only thing you can do is to try it with your footage how it works!

[@kovanjola]

I miss you and your work why are you absent so long

[@DaniloOliveira89]

I did everything right, but when I apply the LUT it doesnt get warm at all... the red is just opaque. Someone else had this problem?

[@texus2009]

CST do it in one node
