*WRONG ANSWERS ONLY* -> What are Lift, Gamma, & Gain?
The Hulk's workout regimen. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

@Patrick Stirling - haha so good!
Well, as we get older, certain parts of the body start to droop, sag, and loosen. It used to be that we required plastic surgery to “enhance” our body parts to mitigate or even reverse signs of aging. Now, we have Davinci Resolve.
@Chris Brockhurst - would that make Dave... Offset?
Dude. I've been doing Resolve tutorials for 2 years, and this is BY FAR the best explanation of the color wheels I've ever seen.
Thanks dude!!! I've definitely watched a handful of your vids in the past couple of weeks while I've been getting into davinci! Very helpful!
Jay do you think have a micro panel is worth buying?
Same here!
@@alexrozerotkirkwood7042 Main point of a control surface is to face time from having to use the mouse. With a micro panel, you don't have enough access to most of the common tools and you will be leaning towards using a mouse thus hindering your flow. I would invest in a Wacom Intuos pro to replace a mouse.
Game changer!!!
I ended up paying for a masterclass for davinci because it was hard to find someone who explains it without thinking you know what all these terms mean. Now having the knowledge and watching your video, you did an amazing job! Hope this video finds its way to the right people! Very helpful!
That’s awesome! When I first started learning premiere I went that way too and it makes for nicely organized learning!
Using curves to explain Lift, Gamma and Gain is extremely clever. Thank you for the detailed explanation!
The way he explains is so easy to comprehend, he doesn't talk over a person's head who may not understand certain verbiage and I really appreciate that alot!!!
all i hope is this channel switches completely to davinci resolve so I can learn more alongside Dunna
Hahaha 😂 I guess we’ll see.
This has been the best explanation of Lift Gamma and Gain so far. Thank you!
Been looking at videos for weeks and this was by far the easiest to comprehend. Great video!
I don't think I've seen this explained better elsewhere! Thanks a bunch!
This is perfect, I've been colorgrading for some time now and never knew exactly how it worked. Thanks so much!
I have seen these terms and UI's for ages now and i kinda understood what they do and mean, but i haven't come across someone who's connected the dots the way you have.. You're a great teacher ! Keep em coming !!
One of the best tutorial video I have ever seen. Thank you so much for putting this together.
This was an excellent explanation of the color wheels. Thanks for showing how exactly they relate to curves!
So awesome. Thanks for this! The black to white gradient really helped me understand the concept!
Usiing this for a number of years yet, now I understand even better the how and why! THNX
What a brilliant way using the curve to explain the concept of lift, gamma and gain. And you have also helped clarified that that those and shadow, midtones and highlight aren't synonymous as I always thought. Thanks for the awesome tutorial
Wow! This is the BEST explanation I've ever seen!!! Thank you!
your grey scale concept is just great for understanding color tweaking.
Great explanation on gain,, lift and gamma. The greyscale demo is really instructive. Thanks so much for showing an old dog new tricks!
THANK YOU so much for using a screen capture resolution that actually allows us to see what is on your screen!
This is the best visual explanation I've ever seen, Thank You 🤩🙏
Excellent tutorial/explanation, short and sweet, thank you Dunna!
Using that gradient image was genius. Thank you!
Great tutorial and visualization. Thanks for the tips!
This is by far one of the best video tutorial I've ever watched, when I feel like I understand than just try to do what the video is saying, I don't know how to thank this video :) Really appreciated
Thank you. Finally found this explained nice and easy !!!!!
Brilliant explanation and demonstration. Thank you
I've been wanting to better understand the nuance of the wheels (lift, gamma, gain) and the logs (shadows, midtones, highlights). You used a very innovative explanation tool. AND it had the benefit of showing how curves are affected. Bravo!
The best explanation iv seen in a while
You saved me from hours of watching other people's videos with your very detailed and simple explanations! Thank you very much🙌👏✌Hoping for your continued success💛💙
Great explanation!! The grey scale helped a lot.
Great explanation. Very smart to use the graph of a black to white image as an example.
Well done. Very smart using the gray scale to illustrate what each tool does.
this was sooo freaken helpful to understand the color wheels better! thank you!
Ok ok... just blew my mind the way you explained it and helped out soooooo much to understand better. I kind of knew that the midtones, highlights and shadows didn´t do the best job, but now...!!! Thanks so much!
THANK YOU!!! Amazing explanation specially for me coming from photography!
Thank you so much for your tutorials It went from 'nice tutoet science' to simple logic! You have a new subscriber
This is the video that I was looking for. Thanks!!
Perfectly explained! Thank you
This is a GREAT explanation. Best one I've seen by far. Thank you!
Spot on man! You explained it well, and I now have a much better understanding! Thank you!
Easy to follow, yet also thorough. Thanks a lot :)
The best explanation of color wheels in RUclips, thanks
Thanks for saying that!
you singlehandedly just saved me after hours of struggling to figure out how to use these tools as a premiere pro user😭😭thank you so much
Excellent video. I took lots of notes. Thank u
This is by far the best explanation of these tools. Easy to take in and understand. Amazing , thank you.
You're very welcome!
The best explanation of the color wheel and curve I ever found on YT. Thanks!!!
Thanks for the compliment!
Nice explanation with visual feedback, exactly what was needed
Best explanation ever on RUclips...💯🔥
Yes! barely diving into davinci, Hella appreciate this man!
Thank you so much for diving deep into explaining and doing a comparison 🎉
Thank you for this video! Someone recommended I color grade my dog videos to improve them. I tried to look up color grading to learn how, and asked the very question you answered in this video. Thank you so much!
You are amazing, this is literally the only tutorial I could properly learn from and comprehend and I've gone through quite a bit of tutorials for beginners, THANK YOU
Thanks for saying that!
Thank u .The constantly applying grade to grayscale image and comparing curves helped quite a bit
super helpful and clear! Thanks!
Thank you for this. I am still learning DaVinci and did not even know I could flip to the lights, darks and mid-tones section (newbie). This will help a lot.
Thank you - these explanations using the curves was a fantastic idea!
Never seen anyone properly explains these tools before and practically demonstrates how they affect an image. Very good video, thanks.
Thanks for the nice comment!
That was such a great explanation of curves... and everything else!
Awesome explanation. Thank you.
You change my life. Very good teacher
You explained it in the best way possible. Thank you for this!
Amazing explanation buddy! Thanks so much 🙌
Bro, this is by far the best video that I’ve seen explaining the difference between lift, gamma & gain vs. the long wheels .. thank you !
Thanks so much!!
Thanks, mate! Incredibly helpful video.
Clean ! beautiful content. Thank you so much Dunna
Excellent video man, literally starting on resolve and GOD did that help. Thank you so much!!

You explained it in my kind of language. Thanks.
Perfect tutorial! So effectiv explanation! Thank you !
Awesome explanation of the wheels
Great job and knowledge of the subject regarding turning waveform into curves to demonstrate the effects. Very clever 😉.
I think u you nailed it❤️👍🏼 thanks for the clear explanation 👍🏼 now i can adjust my shadows and whites the way i like it👍🏼
Dude, you're the best. Love how you used a simple visual reference where people can actually see what's happening. Would you happen to have a similar video on offset/power/slope?
Thanks well explained, thanks for the comparisons with the grey scale and curves really helped understand the concept also you woke me up, was falling asleep watching other tutorials but your energy and engagement with your audience brought me back to and feeling a bit more confident to try a bit more grading to my videos.
Thanks for the kind words!!
Excellent tutorial! Many thanks.
Great way of presenting that with B&W screen. Thanks mate!
This tutorial has been an absolute lifesaver, switched over tho Davinci Resolve recently and I was completely lost before this video when it came to colour grading. Thanks again!!
That’s awesome! What are you switching from?
Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking for this a long time. Finally, you did explain this in plain english.
Glad to hear that!!
