I used to use the color warper the wrong way, really struggling because I was moving the cursor to make the adjustements. But now I'm working with the selected point on the CW and then adjusting individually Hue, Sat and Lum and it works so much better :D Awesome tutorial as always !
I already use these tools these are very help full, Can you make some video for skin highlighting issue with natural sun rays and how to get overall face with flatten color toneup without harh skins . Waiting for your video
I get confused at the color space thing. If I shoot fuji with a sim like classic chrome applied in camera, is that rec709 and therefore you don't need to do a color space transform? when I try the exposure adjustment it doesn't look natural to me.
I had the warper in mind, but didn't use it so much yet. But I will definitely study this tool more in the next days. And the HDR Wheels as well - A tool I used when learning with your Videos, but never used it for Client work. So I think I got Homeworks to do 👍🏻😂📚
Always bringing value! Thanks for this, I have been working a lot of the hsl curves and getting annoyed having to do the process over and over on each curve. The color warper is going to save me so much time.
Thank u qazi,for sharing this amazing tutorials.... i always struggled how to work in HDR.... at least know i got some point... on how to use it.....Thank u.... can anyone know how to properly change the colorspace of ''canon mark 4 '' footage...?
Great Video! Question... If the TL is set to DWG (for example) then the HDR in node 1 does NOT need to have its color space set? -&- Then all tools prior to the final CST node will be in DWG/HDR?
at the end of the day, which technique is more accurate and less likely to cause color noise? the color warper seems like a great tool, but im worried it might not feather the hues enough and then ill end up with weird color shifts and noise caused by stretching the tones too far - is that more of an issue in HSL or color warper?
I'm unhappy that no one has answered you. He did that by doing this. Click on the three dots to the right of the scopes. Then select "Display Qualifier Focus" The advantage is that you can use it to check where each part of your imagine is sitting as far as exposure and skin tone accuracy are concerned. Thank you
Hey Qazi, Do you recommend/can someone explain whether to use color space transform at the beginning or end of the video? I usually have color space transform to rec 709 as my first node so that I can grade with that correct color space in mind and sometimes apply a creative LUT at the very end of the output. Can anyone provide input/feedback on this workflow?
Color space at the end, always! When you change the color space, it inevitably reduces the amount of colors within the color space. If you put your color transform at the beginning of the chain, you're then applying all your other effects on top of an already "crushed" set of colors and will run into colors breaking and noise a lot faster. I hope that makes sense! As for "so that I can grade with that correct color space in mind", putting it at the end of your chain shouldn't change much in what you're seeing. Just apply it at the beginning of your process like you normally would, but at the end of the chain!
@@ChadtheFilipino I'm assuming you mean a LUT for a creative look? If so, just after your color space conversion node, at the end of the chain. One of the few things you would ever have after your conversion (along with let's say film grain, for example). I think it's safe to assume that a lot of LUTs out there are made for rec709, but not all. That being said, keep in mind that your camera, lens, lighting , settings, etc all impact the actual colors and overall look of your image. So LUTs will still be a case by case thing to mess around with, even if you're always starting in a rec709 color space.
Hey Waz - we're doing location shots in Filmic Pro LogV3 on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. In Resolve there isn't a CST input Color Space or Gamma that's comparable with that camera. Everything else in your tutorial is invaluable, but we're stuck on the first step of getting Log converted easily/correctly as you're demonstrating. Any tips? Thanks!!!
you definitely need to watch the ACES tutorial. it's the only way to grade footage with an unknown or generic log profile. also helps shot matching too.
@@saviwaves5337 Hi Savi - thanks. Just been studying about ACES. I saw one of Qazi's videos on ACES with a variety of camera footage, but doesn't specifically refer to a setting that bypasses camera input. Or is that the "No input transform" setting? Appreciate the help. By the way: Qazi + Woz = Waz! Qasi is the Woz of color management!
Nice video sir!! I am really waiting for a time when AI comest to film cameras that automatically does group selection of visual things like sky, face, cars etc which will save our time making selective power windows as all the data will be pre baked in the advanced Metadata of video. I hope in next 5yr we will see that as we already have powerful Neural engine AI chips like A14 or M1 Ultra that can be shrinked down & get mounted inside the camera body or stacked image sensors.
Hey Qazi, Thank you so much for this tutorial, really helped cut down the amount of time i spend on grading projects, i have a request that has been on my mind for ages, could you please recreate the faded film look from the videos that were shot for Beyonce's The Gift album... Particularly the song "Brown skin girl"
@@theqazman Although I use premiere pro, I have learned to color my videos much better, thanks for the content you provide us, you are excellent, God bless you
Shit ain't rocket science man. I know you're threatened cuz I'm showing people how easy it can be to create those looks. You sit back and hate. So pety and grandpa of you. Come at me. -Waqas Qazi
The Color Warper is awesome!
That was extremely helpful. Wow. Thanks.
Good information and keep up the good work as well. One question do you have a video that shows how to soften skin with sharp edges? Far as the face
king of color grading

Man... For def need to take advantage of that color warper. Thanks
Any time!

Of course.

You got it brother and couldn't agree more. Just be careful it can introduce noise if not used with extreme caution.
Wow. Thanks so much for this video. A real game changer to my workflow.
Happy to help.
Thanks man! It was so helpfull

love this tool

can anyone know how to properly change the colorspace of ''canon mark 4 '' footage...?
Hello mate, I've got a question for ya! Did you use the same technique for your top? It has a pleasing colour. Cheers 🍻
ive learnt alot thank you

Brilliant ♥️
u r always life saver... ♥️
Good job
Great! Thank you!
You are welcome!
Thanks as always for these prop tips..Especially Pro Tip 2 :)
You got it, brother.
Thank U 😍 Qazi
Hey Qazi, i love your job, thanks for your videos!
why do you never use color management and still use CST?
So Helpful, Thanks
You're welcome.
THanks for this
You're welcome
great info !

thank you sir ..
Great Video! Question... If the TL is set to DWG (for example) then the HDR in node 1 does NOT need to have its color space set? -&- Then all tools prior to the final CST node will be in DWG/HDR?
Great! Is there any reason why you placed CST to the end of the serial nodes?
Curious about this too! or if it was just an example. I usually place mine first. hbu?
Watch the free training.
Adjusting the sky made her jacket look better, honestly.
Agreed. 😀

it's more heavy handed for sure, but that's why you choose 12 points instead of 6, and avoid extreme changes.
Mehn you are damn genius
Game on!!!!!!

at the end of the day, on professional shows, the rule of simplicity is best. No need for a billion qualifiers etc.. less is more
I've watched the entire 1hour free course and after it ended I got directed to the webinar host without any practise footage etc
Would you always reccomend cst to be the end node?
Watch my free webinar to get a better insight.
