It has some logic to have keys before contrast sat and other things - but most pros just have an orphaned feed for keys and then connect the luma key line to nodes when they need them. You should have your balance / contrast / sat etc. as close to the CST as possible and set that first. Dragging another RGB line to an orphan node and setting up parallel nodes also keeps the keys from breaking. That's the way most pros that I know do it, but I understand your logic.
Look at the node tree by Walter Volpatto or Brian Singler or Cullen Kelly. In my opinion everyone should build their own node tree from scratch based on their own research. But it's always fun to see that there are different methods and it's always fun to get inspiration. Thank you for sharing your node tree.
I found this very interesting and helpful. I think it would be very good template for anyone to use. I might even make it a power grade so I have it across projects ❤❤❤
@@Gavin_Haughey_Colorist I did make it a power grade and named it template for all my projects. As I use it I can save new ones and name them for specific projects or looks. It is a very good tool for everyone.
Hey Gavin awesome node tree! I was wondering when do you recommend I apply relight if I wanted to utilize it in a shot. I’m still new to color correction so any help would be appreciated!
Hey, Thanks for the great video. Your account has already helped me in many situations :-). I have a small question for you. If you only produce videos for the internet (RUclips, Instagram, Facebook etc.)... Would you calibrate your monitor for Gamma2.4 and set this in the Resolve settings or would you go directly to a different gamma value. At the moment I use my monitor and the settings with Gamma2.4, but then render out the whole video with Rec709/Rec709A. Is that the right way? I keep discovering that there are different contrasts and different colors in the rendered video. Do you have any tips for me? Many thanks and have a nice Day. Dani
Rec709 is the color gamut, mostly used for hd television. Gamma 2.4 on the other hand is, as the name says, a gamma curve. The difference between 2.4 and 2.2 for example is just a bit of contrast. It depends on how your monitor is calibrated. Most people use Rec709 with gamma 2.4 in a non sdr workflow going out. Some also use 2.2 srgb for mainly web work.
@@Gavin_Haughey_Colorist This means that if I work in Rec709 Gamma 2.4, because that's how my monitor is set, and then render out the whole video with Rec709/Rec709A (I work on a Mac) then there is no problem and I'm doing everything right?! Thank you very much Dani
I updated the my uploaded file. The new file should work now with the newest Davinci Resolve version and below!
Its working now, thank you
bros feeling the holiday spirit, im not going to take it for granted. thank you gavin
I do! Love the christmas time 😂
This came in clutch, I'm having to color grade my final uni project and this will be a massive speed boost.
Cheers!
Lovely video Gavin! I'll be sure to use this node tree, some really helpful information! You have gained another subscriber 😊😊

Thank you so much for the video, I will try the nodetree next time, already installed it. Greetings from Brazil!
the order of the nodes are great. thanks
I love your content. I am learning so much about resolve.
Thanks man!

It really depends. But I would mostly put it in the front!
New to using Nodes came from Final Cut X Pro platform and eager to try these. Thanks
Thanks 👍. Love from India
Much appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, thanks. Where do you add glow, for example?
I like the glow plugin from davinci for that. For more natural results, the dop should do it in camera with filters tho.
@@Gavin_Haughey_Colorist Yep, I agree. I mean, What is your prefered position for it in this node tree?
@@DenysLukoshkin I would do it at the end of the DWG bracket. But still inside of it.
Thank you!
Great chanel, Thank you!

Hello,
why is it empty when I import it in resolve?
Thank you
It should’t be.. Do you import it exactly like I said in the video? Into the stills gallery?
I am also getting an empty tree, if I go into my node graph it is also empty.@@Gavin_Haughey_Colorist
@@Gavin_Haughey_Colorist It seems to be empty for me as well.
@@illicitas which resolve version are you using?
@@Gavin_Haughey_Colorist 18.6.2 that might be the issue here`
thank you
