For someone WHO’s just switched from PP to DR, and watched a thousand vids on colorgrading, using a trillion notes, this was vers helpfull. So thansen👍
Better to use a Color Space Transform to convert log footage to DaVinci Wide Gamut or ACES on the timeline. Put your adjustment nodes in the middle and have another CST at the end to convert from the timeline color space to the output color space of Rec.709 or Rec.2020. Alternatively, use DaVinci Color Managed with a DaVinci Wide Gamut timeline. Set the output color space to Rec.709 or Rec.2020. No need for any CSTs. Either way, select all the clips and set the clip attributes to the input log format you are using and bingo all your clips are adjusted properly. If you have more than one camera type, simply adjust the clip attributes to the input format of that particular camera. This saves a mountain of work and ensures a consistent look across all your shots.
Thanks for sharing your approach! When I was in college working on my photography degree, the professors would always tell us to learn the rules so that you know how to break the rules. If this works for you and your clients, keep doing what you’re doing. If you want to be great and attract high end clients, take your time and avoid costly shortcuts.
The reason you want a node for each major adjustment is so you can turn it on and off to see what that one thing is doing to the image. Otherwise you can come back in a day or two and just have everything on one node. You just need like 5 nodes. One for colour correction, one for contrast, saturation etc. just means you're not stuck on one node. Its easier in the moment but a complete nightmare on a big project with a lot of different clips and different grades.
@@PrimeAtl yeah definitely but I think if you did it for a bit you might realise how much easier it is in the long run. But totally up to you obviously. Just I see a lot of comments of people who see this as being easier but might get into a massive twist in the long run because they can't see what isn't working on their grade. And the difference between 3 or 4 nodes instead of one is so little effort I would recommend beginners do that regardless. If you're more advanced you might know what you want anyway but beginners won't.
Bro you’re the goat!! People make nodes to complicated!! It’s crazy you only use a few because when im out filming and color grading now I literally say to my self how would prime atl color this.
Awesome. Finally a kind of clear explanation and not about constructing a node maze. Bought your LUT pack last night, can't wait to try them (do you convert v-log to Rec709 before applying the LUT?). Also, the first night scene with the model in the pink top. Did you use any lights on her? Brill tutorial, more of these please. Love from Poland.
Glad to hear that bro I appreciate the love and support! I tried my best to simplify the process for even beginners to understand! I got way more content like this otw for yall bro! Salute to Poland 🇵🇱
Idk how I got a notification for this but wow, I shoot sony and I've been studying editing for a long time, I'm mainly a photographer, but I've been starting video, and the amount of editing i've been seeing with 40 nodes is crazy theres no way it takes all that, Idk if your way of editing will work for my hlg2 proviles or slog but I'm going to definitely be trying it out, I'll be CST but hopefully this still works lol you confirm it doesn't take all that so thats great definitely subscribing.
Sometimes ACES is way to go but only if have Pro Res footage. But usually I like work in Davinci wide gamut in HDR to get most from footage. But yes footage can lead you to specific look which can be organic looking.
@@PrimeAtl Of course I have HDR monitor wich can give ability to correctly work in HDR luminance values even it's cost 363 euros and not for pro color grading still it's help's a lot.
Even from cheap smartphone footage you will see how much bright area in street lights it can reach 10k luminance values and thin how much you need loos this briht part of your to get rec 709 recommend luminance values.
@PrimeAtl Bruh, it worked very well ,especially considering I was editing an 8 bit file. Just bought the R8 10 bit. Thanks, I'll. Stay tuned! I subscribed.
get a true color correction monitor and you'll see why they have 20 nodes over there. yea it takes a lot more time to work that way but to setup cst in and cst out doesn't take that much time either.
Hey, please don´t take this personal but you may want to take another look at the topic of color spaces, what they do and how they work. Because if you just add contrast to your LOG/Flat Color Profile Footage, it´s not a proper conversion to your desired delivery Color Space. Because, with all your respect, is just bullshit you´re trying to teach here
If you say so you clearly see my work turns out good regardless so this was a bullshit comment tbh you could’ve just keep this to yourself. Clearly people are benefiting from it and that was the goal.
@@PrimeAtl I didn´t mean to offend you in any way. But for me as a colorist it´s just hard to see a video which teaches the basics in a wrong way. Your Result looks good, yes but if you do it that way it´s neither an accurat rec709 conversion nor will you get consistend results througout your projects
@@benreichleI’m not a colorist so I was showing what I been doing for years and people have always loved my color grading ! I get it y’all colorist only focus on color grading but I do everything film related so it’s not that deep to me personally. You didn’t offend me until you said I’m teaching people bullshit. I don’t respect you trying make it seem like I’m selling dreams to people when I’m truly trying to help.
LMFAO the are very specific, important REASONS why pro colorists use a lot of nodes. This video is missing out on a HUGE amount of necessary information if you want to be a pro, and a ton of misinformation (for example, reducing the highlights doesn't give you more dynamic range lol, dynamic range should be maximized in camera, if you squash the waveform in either direction, that is LESS dynamic range, not more) . And for god's sake PLEASE stop using the term "cinematic", it was played out 3 years ago. If you want to REALLY learn how to grade, watch Darren Mosier or Cullen Kelly or actual professional colorists. Also, if you learn to use HSL or HSV for saturation, your image will look MUCH more like a movie than if you just use the saturation setting. Subtractive saturation looks, much, much nicer. Good luck.
Did this tutorial help you out?
Thanks for making this video u are right people do be having 20 noods watching this video I learned a lot
@@Barnabas87 broooo I hate it lol Im Glad i could make it easy for you guys to understand!
@@PrimeAtl can u please do more videos like this? Do u color grad in Final Cut ? Have you ever color graded pro res raw or r3d files?
Definitely. How do you do that effect at the beginning with the text and davinci window?
I edited this in CapCut and add a text transition

That make sense thanks
Realest shit I’ve watch about grading in the most simplest way. Without that bs multi node system, love the transparency and your grading man
Exactly people make this program look so complicated lol
Prime will be the one of the best film youtubers very soon! Just wait and see 👀
Likewise my brother you the real goat !

I feel you and respect that! the point of the vid was to show people how easy it can be to color grade and get a nice look with minimal effort
I’m a newly subscriber thanks for the consistency ❤your videos have been the most informative on RUclips!
You are so welcome!
I just downloaded DR. Switching from PP. This video was super helpful. Thanks bro. Subscribed as well💯
Thanks for the sub! I’m glad I could help !
Ive been afraid of using the program, you just made this very simple, THANK YOU
That’s dope I’m glad I are it easy for you to understand!

Thank u bro ,but which camera did u use please
@@RubaShannonCreation your welcome and I used the LUMIX S5II
Please do more tutorials man struggling with resolve right now but this showed me i dont need ten thousand nodes and get the job done

Thanks bro for the tutorial on DaVinci resolve 🎉🎉 make again bro please 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@jhonesreece4946 I’m glad you enjoyed this

@PrimeAtl No, Thank-You for the Knowledge! 👊🏿🔥🔥🔥
Question….on the thumbnail was that shot on a Bmpcc6k or S5ii
LUMIX s5ii
Sometimes I think people purposely use a lot of nodes to confuse us because they be gatekeeping. I can't prove it , but that's my opinion.
Fasho I hate it lol
Dope thumbnail too
Thanks bro !
Great information !

@@kissaac your welcome
You dont need cst for v log?
Nope!
Objection! Yes you need it for every Color Space Conversion (in this case to convert from v-log to rec709) if you want to do it preciese
@PrimeAtl don't you have access to more range with using cst though? 🤔
@@PrimeAtl Using a CST or working in a color managed space would save you time
lol you ever just look at someone colorgrading and see them using 35 nodes
Brooooo I hate it lol
Wish you showed more of the actual videos clips you edited, barely seen the results in action
Thanks I will make sure I do that more next time I had a few people mention that so I will definitely work on it
Is this video out?
Not yet it will be soon tho
