quick correction: An "I/O box" does not take the strain off your GPU. It's not an external gpu (eGPU). The recommended product , BM UltraStudio Monitor, simply provides a video output that has not been tampered with by the OS, and is therefore more reliable to color with. This is generally only needed for a Flanders or other professional grade color monitor. Good product suggestion, but it won't save processing by your gpu for NR or other intensive tasks.
This is great! More like this please. I have 20 plus years as an editor and color grading is relatively new ground for me. Your videos are clear and concise and give you usable stuff immediately. Love it.
this for sure is great content and super useful! I would even be very interested in seeing a video just about how you set up your stream decks and go more into detail about all those tricks you can get out of it!!
here is my list of 1st 5 investments as a colorist: 1) Qazi's Color grading course 2) Davinci Resolve Studio Version 3) 40 hours of learning 4) 40 hours of practicing 5) 40 hours of practicing
I have the smallest Stream Deck and this thing is awesome. Excellent software and it works flawlessly all the time. I use it mainly for Pro Tools and Photoshop.
@@theqazman hey, thank you for the video, i always wonder how to use an io box with monitor that u have to calibrate. I mean, i hde calibrated my monitor with i1 display, but it's make ICC profiles, but does the io box bypass it? And so, how calibrate it? Thank you!
Thanks Waqas! This is good content (although I went into it wondering how you were going to get (all) 5 things under 500 USD). Would love other videos like this as well, such as the option to use iPad or other tablet as a "panel" or shortcut surface, if that exists :)
So if you send clean feed to monitor from I/O (like a BMD Intensity Pro 4K) how would you use the X-rite i1display Pro to calibrate? Maybe an Idea video.
Hello, I really enjoy ur content on color grading and aspire to be one of the best. I enjoyed this video a lot that revisit it for inspiration. Is there an update to the same title being that it’s 2024!!! Would really appreciate if u would drop mentions of the note worthy ones or does the list of the 5 still hold today, especially the monitor.
Dope! Is the Avid Artist Color still a viable option with DaVinci Resolve as a newbie & would you still suggest a keyboard (Stream Deck XL) with Avid Artist Color?
This is great! I'm loving your content. I would love it if you did a video where you were more technical about calibrating your monitors. I have EX3 calibration sensor and am curious what your specific settings are regarding white point, contrast, etc... Any plans to do this?
Super helpful vid, Qazi... Thank you!! Question, it’s not listed and perhaps because it’s technically not gear... My question is do we NEED to purchase Resolve 17, or can we rock it with just the free version of Resolve?? Thanks again for everything, Qazi!! 🙏🏼⚡️🤙🏼
You missedd it with keyboards. not that they are not important, but you can get a free one at the moment with DR that is much better than your option here. mine is on order with B&H. Which one? The Speed Editor keyboard.
Hey Qazi, really informative video. The IO box you suggested only supports 1080p and the monitor is 4k. So, if my timeline is 4K and connect this monitor with that IO box it will show 1080 or not work at all?
I like this content. I do have a question though. Working off an iMac do you still suggest the second monitor? Or can I use the calibrator on my iMac? Cause I really want to avoid the whole entire thing you said about seeing a different image on RUclips and stuff than what is on my screen while editing. Getting pretty annoying.
Thanks! When you use IO box with a TV for example, how do you calibrate tv using i1 Display Pro? Inside Resolve or using i1 Display Pro’s own software? Regards.
We have leanred to much from you. I notice taht the ultra studio 3g only outputs 1080p. Bytcif my timeline is uhd /my footage is 4k or 6k. The imagae on my monitor is super zoom in.. is there a function to change that? Or do i need the uktra studio 4k if my timeline is 4k?
I Think Color Grading Video On These Clips Would Be More Helpful For Beginners Like Us Who Just Want To Color Grade Their Own Video Or RUclipsrs Videos & To Learn Color Grading Faster And In A Much Better Way. If You Agree Like My Comment.
Hello I'm new to color grading and I need help. I'm going to buy a 2560x1440 benQ or LG monitor and connect it to an M1 2020 Mac. if I get the UltraStudio monitor does it handle 2k videos through HDMI. because I read it only outputs 1080p through HDMI in the product specs. also do I turn off the display Mac color profile when I connect it? I'm confused how do I just get a clean calibrated image with a calibrated monitor for an affordable price? Also do I have to use clean feed, can I send the entire feed from my Mac to my calibrated monitor????? Anyone helppppp.
Just a question: I own a Tangent Ripple and honestly is like operating on a toy: balls can't control precisely/finely the color wheels. I personally feel I'm much more precise with a trackpad and a finger! Since I bought the Ripple I never really used it for any project of mine. BUT now I'm switching to Linux and I'm forced to abandon the Ripple and choose if continue with the trackpad OR buy a Blackmagic Micro Panel. The ONLY reason I'd for for the Micro is that someone said to me that Micro's balls are WAY much more fluent/precise than Ripples'. Can you kindly confirm it? Do you think Micro's balls are WAY better than Ripple? Thanks in advance.
What do you think about coloring on a calibrated iMac screen? I am thinking in investing in something to speed up the process regarding color grading, but can't decide between a monitor or a control surface. Any experienced colorists here that could give me some advice?
A bit more in depth on each would have been cool. But highlights of each were solid. Maybe feature someone that thinks a handful of streamdecks are superior and get them to elaborate.
@@theqazman that's cool. Wasn't what I was suggesting though. Point/Counter Point with someone that argues a handful of stream decks are superior to your $35k set up would make for a cool video. This of course assumes you don't have any conflicts of interest, but I doubt the people selling $35k setups are marketing to us plebes on RUclips. Appreciate the great content.
Hey mentor is already $449.99 any other recommendation please I am in UK thinking to get 2 monitors and TV wonder what will be your recommendation btw I am Window user yea I know windows perhaps one day Mac Thanks for doing awesome job
Do you have any opinion on the Asus Proart monitors? The PA278QV seems to have stellar color accuracy for just 300 (100% srgb with a delta e below 2). Seems like a pretty decent buy as long as 1440p is acceptable (I am working with 1080p timelines currently)
Hi dear Waqas I need a 4k Monitor For Grading with resolve. I work on Short films for showing at festivals. i need a reference monitor under 1000$ for grading. I have access to LG , ASUS , DELL Stores. which brand and model is suitable for me?
Hi, thank for the video! I really love your content! Is it possible to edit and export 10bit footage with gaming video cards like gtx or rtx? I read they support 10bit only in games(direct x) and not in editing softwares (cuda, open gl) . Is there any work around for that ? I'd love to learn a bit more about these technical aspects... It can really be a jungle sometimes
Hey Qazi! M1 Macbook air and Pro can only connect to one monitor. Does anyone know if one can connect a computer monitor to one of the Thurndebolt cables and an UltraStudio Monitor 3G out to a TV on the other Thunderbolt connection?

a tip : you can watch movies on flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.

I don’t know why but i am always super skeptical watching any of your videos but you always prove them worthy! ❤️
Thank you… that ripple is crazy for the money!!! Definitely getting that!
Yes Qazi love these kinds of videos but please tell something under $100😭😀
😂
His free class
Really awsome. Thanks so much for this video. You've helped me a lot
Definitely need a monitor that is more color accurate! I’m using a 27 Inch Acer monitor, and tbh for the price it’s amazing and has a lot of detail.
Thanks for that ! I always wonder the use of an IO Box and now i know :)
Ayyyy 💪🏽

Absolutely!! Keep them coming
How about a video showing us how you edit your RUclips videos? Your videos have been very helpful. Thanks!
Best Explanation after watching your training node video, easy to understand. Thank you..
This list was surprisingly more useful than I thought. I got an io box now in my wishlist
Let's go!
I am a Korean subscriber. Even though I can't understand the language, I'm watching hard.
I appreciate you. 😀
haha i watch one korean guy who does nuke and compositing tutorials, i don't understand him, but just following along lol
Thanks again! Love everything about your vibe and value. Peace!
Thank you Melissa. 😀
Fantastic video as always! As a beginning to the color game, this video is perfect! Thanks! :)
You're welcome
You should make a video about setting up a stream deck. I have one already but it would be nice to see how to set up a profile
Nothing but awesomeness there Qzai.
You know it
Great content and value Waqas. Thank You.
You're welcome
Thank you for the great content! I definitely want a studio setup like yours in due time!
Keep pushing and you will
So glad I jumped on DaVinci Resolve's deal they currently had. I bought the 17 Studio key & got a FREEEEEEE speed editor panel!
Woah!!!!! That's insane
Great review for me as an beginner, but could make an updated version for 2023?
Loved it! Should do one for intermediate colourists with a slightly higher budget as well!
Thanks in my Masterclass
haha you're future is so great ❤️ 🙏
thanks for the video on the right time for me.. i was thinking to get benq 2k or lg 4k, now I'll get lg one ! 😀
Thanks
How do you actually start making money with what you do? What kind of clients do you work with them and how do you get your gigs?
I've tons of content on that. Look through my channel.
Great stuff. Love your channel. Cheers.
Thank you
I'll be purchasing the Ripple within the next month!
That's exciting
Wud love to see more content like this👍👌

Love this! Thank you so much! Also can i know what Table are you using ? I think shape of this table & size is perfect !
Thanks Qazi. I'd love to see a detailed tech setup of your LG OLED CX as a grading monitor :)
That type of stuff is available for my Masterclass members
So if you send clean feed to monitor from I/O (like a BMD Intensity Pro 4K) how would you use the X-rite i1display Pro to calibrate? Maybe an Idea video.

Great video need an iobox ASAP

You're welcome. Definitely get the paid version.
We are looking for more videos like this .( on gear and monitors)

You missedd it with keyboards. not that they are not important, but you can get a free one at the moment with DR that is much better than your option here. mine is on order with B&H. Which one? The Speed Editor keyboard.
And you're claiming it that it's better before using it. Interesting.

Thx in advance!
Great video... the io box.... says signals up to 1080 p... no 4k?
