😅😅😅 this video was. so. SHORT. i guarantee, *if you make a LONG* in depth tutorial like *how to color grade/correct using a color chart and gray card from scratch* in davinci resolve, you’ll do well and you could probably promotee your luts too! when i say *from scratch* , i mean nothing too complicated, you would just show *exactly* what you do when you film yourself. how to use nodes but you wouldn’t explain it too much, you’d just show how you do it from *literally* step 1 to finished, and all the numbers etc. *this video* basically but MUCH longer and from scratch. i’m teaching myself *color grading and correction* from yt and i’m *sooooo* tired of all these different opinions on white balance and skin tones and should you use a color chart or is it unnecessary etc.. *idk* who to believe but you’ve proven that what you’re doing works! i still have yet to download D.R. and start trying to color correct!! so if you take my advice and *make that tutorial from scratch* i’d SO appreciate it and i’d stop wasting so much time watching tens of tens to almost 100 tutorials on how to cc and balance skin tones etc.😂😂 sorry for the long comment btw.
Haha yea I made it short by design to get into the groove of making this type of content. I'm finishing up the script for a full guide, it covers the whole topic of the using the chart. You're right, though, it's a dense subject and deserves a complete tear down! I honestly can't wait to finish the full video. Cheers!
Thank you! I've used the chart matching feature to varying success. It hasn't always been reliable for me and I like to be consistent with how I approach my color grades and so I get that consistency by manually making the adjustments and by utilizing my LUTs. They will always give me the exact same reference point. It's also good practice for when you don't have a chart and need to manually make adjustments anyway.
I'm actually working on another video for how to get full usage from this chart! It will also help people who edit in Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro as well. Stay tuned!
The problem is using these charts on every single shot. Just doesn’t make sense to me. Got one of these Xrite colorchecker passport video laying somewhere. It’s great when you use it, especially when skin is involved. But for general purpose, I don’t think so.
Haha I'll be honest, I had my chart just lying around my studio for over a year without use, then as my skills developed it finally clicked why this tool is so great, especially in lighting conditions where you might not have a lot of control. I keep the passport chart in my belt pouch and just pull it out for different setups whenever I can (and remember 😅) or when I have command of a crew, just have the AC or cam OP pull it out on each setup. Takes no time to grab, the real challenge I've faced is just remembering to do it 🙃
Nice. I'd love to see a video using the XRite matching tool in Resolve. I know how it works in theory; read the manual and followed the steps, but somehow it just never looks right. Cheers!
I had the exact same experience but it's been many moons since I've used that chart feature in Resolve. Maybe I'll check it out again and see if there is actually any good value we might get out of that chart matching tool and under what circumstances!
There is a very similar chart made for photography. My chart is made by the brand Xrite but now the same chart is made by another brand called Calbrite. For stills, it's called the Calbrite ColorChecker Passport Photo. It appears there is a second version out now.
Its crazy, I'm fairly new to Resolve, but when I watched your video and saw you draw those boxes around various objects - That is exactly what I am trying to do for a video I need to have done in 1 hour! Can you share with me how you did that? Also, I completely agree with you and need to buy a color chart. Thanks
Thanks for watching! If you mean the yellow boxes that animate on screen, I'm using a plugin called Premiere Composer that has those elements that I can drag and drop on my sequence. (I still edit in Premiere Pro, round tripping for coloring in Resolve) I've never actually done that effect in Resolve itself. If you need something quick, I would go check out a website like freepik.com and search for rectangle png, or circle png and you can quickly drop that on the timeline and scale to your needs. Maybe that works for you?
@@tyler_cine Thank you very much for the speedy reply! I come from Filmora Pro which is really easy to use. However, doing my best to embrace Resolve. I've not used Premiere Pro.
Great video! Short, sweet, and to the point. I wish I had something so beginner friendly like this in my high school film classes 10+ years ago. Can't wait to see your future videos!
Great video. I'd love a slightly slower and more beginner step by step version of this to get my head around it bit more in resolve - I'm still in the process of moving over from premiere pro bit by bit.
Thank you! I'm wrapping up my next video today! It's a tutorial on how to make a false colors LUT in DaVinci Resolve that can be used in other editing software.
It is curious that they lean as much as they do but I'm almost certain it has to do with the lighting conditions of that particular shot. Which is precisely why it's such a great tool to reference. I'm going to shoot the chart again under different lighting conditions to demonstrate in a future video. I'm not sure what you mean by the experts not teaching something? Using a primary offset or secondary hue vs hue to fix skin tones are appropriate tools for the job.

Tyler, this is an amazing video. I just got a color chart, but I was wondering why not use the matching functionality on DaVinci Resolve instead?

@@tyler_cine got it, thanks! Receiving mine tomorrow hopefully it helps me with my skin tones
@@JonatanCastro Right on! If you have any questions about using the chart, give me a shout maybe I can help you!
@tyler_cine it actually helped! Just looks like the official Sony SLOG3 LUT is a bit desaturated, either that or I have the skin tone of a dead body
"I also made a LUT that will vizualize...". / "I also creared a Node that will..."
Yeah, but how...?
Yes, I can definitely make a tutorial on how to build one of these LUTs!
@eladbari hey, wanted to let you know I just uploaded a tutorial on how to make the LUTs like the ones I've used in this video!
@@tyler_cine Sa Weet!
i'd love to see a more in depth tutorial on how to use this tool
I'm actually working on another video for how to get full usage from this chart!
It will also help people who edit in Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro as well. Stay tuned!

@@tyler_cine 😂. I totally understand. Same with me. For now, I only use it in mixed lighting conditions.

What is available for still images? Really enjoyed watching this tutorial. Learning more about the IRE and LUTs.

@@tyler_cine I love the arrows with the animation also - it is exactly what I need! Still hunting, but thank you.
@@frankguthrie2825 No problem! The arrow you might also find as a png that can drop in on top of your timeline. Good luck!
@@frankguthrie2825 I just recently saw a tutorial from Casey Faris on animating arrows, maybe that would help?
Thanks Tyler, are your LUTS for sale on Gumtree? Or available anywheres for us?
Yes! You can pick them up from my Gumroad page here:
tylercine.gumroad.com/l/XrayLUTs/50OFFLAUNCH
Very informative, thanks! An interesting ollow-up could be how to create those helper luts. cheers
Yes! I am going to make a tutorial on how to develop your own helper LUTs!
Thanks for watching! 🙌
Excelente tutorial! No te vas por las ramas y has explicado algo q casi nada mas lo hace
Muchas gracias! Ya estoy editando más tutoriales así que, queda atento para verlos pronto 🙌
@@tyler_cine te felicito!
THANK YOU! You have no idea how often I had to "force" people to use a color chart I had with me because the camera team had no idea what it is for.
Great video! Short, sweet, and to the point. I wish I had something so beginner friendly like this in my high school film classes 10+ years ago. Can't wait to see your future videos!
Thank you! I TOO wish I had something like this when I was a beginner at film school! 🙃
Nobody does that crazy person
Haha 🙃
Sunscribed from this musch needed tutorial.
Now please make more like this.
Thank you! I'm almost finished with my next one, wrapping up the edit soon! 🤠
Keep making videos.
I've got my next one coming out next week! 🤠
Great video. I'd love a slightly slower and more beginner step by step version of this to get my head around it bit more in resolve - I'm still in the process of moving over from premiere pro bit by bit.
Nice video! Which color chart are u using?
Thank you! The chart I'm using is the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport Video. They have a second version out but mine is the original.
@@tyler_cine I have the Calibrite ColorChecker Passport Video - same thing new company or something. I highly recommend it, too.
@@martinXY Yes! Calbrite is the global partner to X-Rite.
Awesome work, keep it up bro!

Dehancer?
@@burresseffects I use Dehancer primarily for the grain and film damage effects. I like the little bit of texture it adds to the image.
Subscribed dude.
Thank you! I've got more on the way, juggling quite a few projects at the moment but they're in the works!
It's interesting how much each skin chip varies off of the skintone line. This is definitely not what the experts teach.
It is curious that they lean as much as they do but I'm almost certain it has to do with the lighting conditions of that particular shot. Which is precisely why it's such a great tool to reference.
I'm going to shoot the chart again under different lighting conditions to demonstrate in a future video.
I'm not sure what you mean by the experts not teaching something? Using a primary offset or secondary hue vs hue to fix skin tones are appropriate tools for the job.
Why the annoying music while narrating?
You think without the music completely or just a better balance with the voice?
I've always doubted how I mix audio 🤔
