    i have been working to shoot more in LA as opposed to crewing on sets. One of my limiting factors is a lack of understanding secondary grading or in depth grading that goes beyond exposure, contrast, saturation,etc. However i felt that the youtube coloring community was filled with people just pushing links to their LUTs in the description and were focused on copying different looks and LUTs that are popular for vloggers rather than trying to teach the basics of what a professional grader would need to know. I really enjoyed that last few videos ive watched from you, and really enjoy content like this that shows how to use different davinci tools to achieve similar effects while also teaching you the trade-offs/ situational advantages from choosing one tool over another. Great video thank you for showing a more informational side to color grading youtube, rather than trying to push Teal/Orange Looks 50 different ways in 50 different videos lol.

      Thank you. That's exactly the reason I started making tutorials. There's so many different ways to tackle problems in resolve, and I'd be inclined to say there's no real 100% right way to handle a specific adjustment. I'd recommend checking out Juan Melara, and Avery Peck does a pretty good job too both on TH-cam. Outside of that I really like Mixing Light, but there's a paywall there (all the power to them, they're a great educational resource). I'll do my best to keep making more content like this.

      It's only available in the log controls. So if you select the color wheels tool this has the "primary wheels, primary bars, and log controls) in that order. They are indicated by text in the top left and it'll be the right most dot up top.

    I know this is an old video but yellow should be used to counteract blue, not red.
    I see for this example it worked almost the same but technically yellow is the opposite of blue.

  • @kimkrohnberle
    @kimkrohnberle 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great tutorial! Thank you.
    However:
    Why did you not just qualify the skin directly in the lower Layer Node?
    Instead you qualified the previous Serial Node and linked the alpha channel. Does this method have any benefit?
    The Printer Light Hotkeys was also a giant tip for me! Thanks :)

    I really liked that you showed the entire process and chain of thought rather than going straight to the end part (actually adjusting the shadows saturation). For me as a beginner, the advanced examples that don't show any context on how to get there and why you are doing it make it very difficult. You made it very simple, but very complete and clear.

      Sunsets is the first thing that comes to mind, or maybe a light bulb in a shot. Something that's really bright that you want more or less saturated, when it comes to darker though I tend to just stick with my shadow controls. You could also use your highlights too though.

  • @Richybeat
    @Richybeat 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of the things that I discover is that you can achieve the same results with RGB curves, and it's cool because you can manipulate all colors (RGB) differently in the shadow part of the curves. It's better than log wheels but log wheels are better tha luma vs curves for this purpose (I've been discovered those tricks on 3D lut creator and Lightroom)

    • @NathanCarterVids
      @NathanCarterVids  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Curves are totally viable. I personally don't find it "better" than wheels, but it's fairly subjective. I find you really have to fiddle to get specific in curves, but in wheels I can adjust the RGB channels in quantized amounts in a specific tonal range.

    Really enjoyed the video and subscribed man. Just one question from me, why use the layer nodes instead of an inside outside method, to be able to isolate the skin and background? Thanks mate!

    • @NathanCarterVids
      @NathanCarterVids  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks. Great question. So with this method I'm able to isolate the skin and keep it seperate from the background adjustment. Because the look is being applied to the entire image underneath the skin layer I can then use the key tab to control how much of that skin adjustment layer is blended into the background look. With an inside outside set up you'd have the skin qualified and then the background adjustment, so it doesn't really allow for fine control blending the two as the background adjustment isn't being applied to the skin cause it's an outside node. Hope that makes sense.

      Use that option if you want to, but no matter how gentle you are with it, you're gonna lose color data. That's the main point I was trying to make.

    Thanks soo much for the tip, I've been using the Lum vs Sat panel to control the black tint since forever, and the overall looks always been lacking something to me, and I spent soo much time to fix the saturation in the darker part of the image, and technique using log panel is just briliant and inspiring!! Thank you sooo much!

      No worries at all. That's exactly what I used to do too, but after understanding the log controls better I haven't looked back since.

      @doltBmB Did you watch the full video? I start talking about that at 5:06 and how the log control are actually better for specific tonal range adjustments and go through a demonstration illustrating that point.

    Personally the real genius of this video is that you created a gradient to show what the controls actually do. This is the first time I’ve seen this and am wondering why I haven’t thought of this because it seems so straightforward. Every colour grading tutorial on youtube for any software should have such an example to demonstrate what the controls actually do with the image, since every software is different.

      Thanks for noticing that. For me that was how I learned how the exposure controls actually work. I appreciate the feedback

    Thank you for explaining what those colore wheels are doing with the greyscale. So many other tutorials are just trying to make a cook recipe by telling you what leaver to pull.
    You are the first speaking my language in terms of color correction science. Good job! you definitely got a like and a subscriber here ☺

      Thank you I really appreciate that. My goal is to have someone be able to understand the technique, not just replicate it by the end of the video. Thanks for the feedback.
