I added this video to my watch later playlist a few weeks ago. I love the fact that you went over your pro node tree, but still gave the tools of your beginner and advanced versions as well. At the moment, I am copying your trees, but do plan on purchasing your templates as well to support you once I'm paid for the job I'm using this for. Thank you Danny.
Thank you Danny! Followed along and built out your node tree, and found the thought process and technique so effective, I went in and purchased the template, as well as your LUT's, subscribed to your channel, and have been binging and recommending your channel since.. What a difference this grading process makes on Sony log footage. I'm almost embarrassed by my past deliverables after seeing the dramatic difference. I just wanted to thank you for your hard work on this and other videos, and for so willingly sharing with the rest of us who are trying to improve. As an ex-premiere editor, your node tree, the process behind it, and your clear non-hype explanations as to "how and why" make so much sense. Thank you Danny.
Danny I have been watching for some time. I have created my own node tree. Problem is, If I dont know what each node is specifically changing I would be at a loss as to how to use. Will watch more to try and learn. Absolute beginner here. Just got an FX3 for our family channel.
Just subbed and deep diving much of your content as I aim to increase my own color grading skills. My head is kind of going in a loop trying to understand how to best manage my color workflow, and so can I ask, what color management settings would you recommend if shooting on Clog 2/3 and editing on a mac display (M1 Macbook air)? If I follow correctly as per this video, in Davinci settings, would you opt for Davinci YRGB, Davinci WG/Intermediate & Rec 709-A, and then on a per clip you would have a CST In node with Canon Cinema Gamut / Clog - > Davinci WG/Davinci Intermediate, and then a final CST node at the end of your tree, with Davinci WG/Davinci Intermediate -> Rec. 709/Gamma 2.4. Or is there a simpler way to manage this workflow? Thanks for any help! 🙏
Hello, Danny. This is an awesome video. I have learned some powerful techniques. In this video you mention that for Sony SLOG3 footage, you prefer not to use DWG on your input node, but aren't you still working within the DWG color space at the project level?
Hey Danny! Great video as always. I was wondering why you selected Gamma 2.4 for your output gamma in CST OUT? I know you mentioned you were on a Mac. Shouldn't it be set to rec709-a? Thanks!
I guess its more of a "if it works don't fix it" kinda setting for me. I can't really explain why/why not. But for one, I'm going into Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 because of the LUTs I use which are made for this color space. And the fix for Rec.709-A is handled on a project level so I don't need to worry about it when delivering, and easily changable to any other output color space if I need to.
Great video - one question (apologies if this has already been answered), but why is there no CST at the beginning of the advanced and beginner node trees?
@@DannyGan Why exactly? Would you not be wanting to make those adjustments in DWG/DWI? Is it an SLOG thing? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, I don't shoot Sony if it's an SLog thing? If I'm shooting BRAW would I not first CST into DWG then do those adjustments?
Quick Question--if the CST in takes you from Sony SGamut3 to DaVinci Wide Gamut, why does the CST Out also have Sony SGamut3 as the input color space? I was under the impression that the CST out would have DaVinci Wide Gamut as the input color space, since that is the color space in which we were working.
You are free to change the input/output to whatever you're working with. As for this example, I'm not working in DWG, so I've only set my CST OUT from S-Log3 to Rec709
I'm sorry you couldn't get the transaction through. Unfortunately, PayPal has been randomly banning accounts here and there so I couldn't withdraw from it.
Not really, DWG is a big color space, but you're still "limited" to the color space of your camera. The only advantage of DWG is a common medium to work in, no matter what footage you're grading. Hope this helps!
You can check out my video on NR for a more detailed explanation. But I like to just soften things out right at the end instead of smearing things at the start. As for halation, I like to have full control of how much halation appears in the final grade, instead of putting it in front, which will mess with my workflow down the line.
I've been trying your node tree. I especially like the HSV Sat technique. I'm having a problem with the HUE node in parallel with SKIN node. The hue node affects the whole frame rather than just the skin tones. Am I doing something wrong?
hi danny can i ask?, is your sample footage is still in log profile or it's just flat render. and if it's still in logprofile how could u add text in video and render it out but still retain color profile on footage? thanks in advanced
Hello Danny, sorry for poping up again but i have gone through all the export setting but I couldn't find any profile which using ProRess 4444 or 422HQ as a medium, would u mind to tell me in which particular part of export setting has it. Really Appriciate
Would love to purchase your Nodetrees but I am not prepared to pay using my credit card. I have been compromised too many times. If you are prepared to use Paypal I would love to do business. This is no reflection on your site and business but much more of the world we are now forced to live with. Paypal covers a business scene that is better known in our part of the world and I am sure you would do increase sales adding Paypal to your site. Sorry but this is the world we live in. Thanks

Thanks for the love and support! Your contribution will help me put out more useful content, so it's much appreciated!
I LOVE YOU. PLEASE DONT STOP DOING TUTORIALS
Danny the best!! Great teacher and he know what he do the best!! 🎉
Thanks a lot for providing the free footages man! Subscribed :)
This is definitely the best node tree video I’ve seen. I always wondered why others separate their primaries💀
But if you’re gonna separate them, do it in parallel nodes, so they don’t destruct each other 😉

Got it! Thank you so much for explaining. Love your videos! Your work is incredible.
Some grading artists put the Noise reduction node in the beginning but you did the opposite. Just curious to know more about that.

Great video - one question (apologies if this has already been answered), but why is there no CST at the beginning of the advanced and beginner node trees?
because it's not utilising DaVinci Wide Gamut
@@DannyGan Why exactly? Would you not be wanting to make those adjustments in DWG/DWI? Is it an SLOG thing? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, I don't shoot Sony if it's an SLog thing? If I'm shooting BRAW would I not first CST into DWG then do those adjustments?

As for this example, I'm not working in DWG, so I've only set my CST OUT from S-Log3 to Rec709
it's because the CST in node is disabled so he is just working in Slog
Thx.
Great video, thank you! What is in the Cineon Transform node
Rec709/gamma2.4 to Rec709/cineon film log
Great Tutorial. It will be great if there was other peyment method like Paypal on your website.
I'm sorry you couldn't get the transaction through. Unfortunately, PayPal has been randomly banning accounts here and there so I couldn't withdraw from it.
great tutorial. What's the command key to show the full Nod tree? It's frustrating I cant zoom out to see it all. thx
you can use the slider on your top right. I'm not too sure of the shortcut key
Great breakdown thank you!
First time I hear that about Sony and Wide Gamut - If I don't use WG, doesn't it limit what I can get out of the footage?
Not really, DWG is a big color space, but you're still "limited" to the color space of your camera. The only advantage of DWG is a common medium to work in, no matter what footage you're grading. Hope this helps!
When applying a heavy grade what is your typical workflow to correcting skin tone. Do you mainly adjust within the Hue vs tab?
Yup, if it doesn’t work, then only I’ll reach for the qualifier
why do you put the highlight node first?
to dampen the highlights for preservation, but do as you like, I just find this works nicer
calimax, gracias
thank you Danny!
A question: why NR ad Halation at the end?
You can check out my video on NR for a more detailed explanation. But I like to just soften things out right at the end instead of smearing things at the start.
As for halation, I like to have full control of how much halation appears in the final grade, instead of putting it in front, which will mess with my workflow down the line.
@@DannyGan many thanks
I've been trying your node tree. I especially like the HSV Sat technique. I'm having a problem with the HUE node in parallel with SKIN node. The hue node affects the whole frame rather than just the skin tones. Am I doing something wrong?
Nope, its working as it is supposed to be. The hue node does not have any qualifier to it
第24个节点，arri的那个lut能分享一下吗？谢谢
Can share why you put bleach bypass and look in parallel ?
Because they are both in the same category which is Look Creation. The parallel structure allows me to combine them with the parallel mixer.
hi danny can i ask?, is your sample footage is still in log profile or it's just flat render. and if it's still in logprofile how could u add text in video and render it out but still retain color profile on footage? thanks in advanced
I use ProRes4444 or ProRes 422HQ as a medium. It will carry the metadata and camera log profile information.
@@DannyGan Oh that's what i just found out. thanks for the information. i will google for more details. best regard Danny
Hello Danny, sorry for poping up again but i have gone through all the export setting but I couldn't find any profile which using ProRess 4444 or 422HQ as a medium, would u mind to tell me in which particular part of export setting has it. Really Appriciate
Are you on a Windows system? If so, you'll need to use DNxHR as a medium, it's equivalent to ProRes on Mac.
@@DannyGan OH so it's DNxHR. man thank you.
bro i want still to buy the tamplate but how any idea?
