EXCITING NEWS! As you guys requested, my Slog3 Sample Footages are now available on Sellfy! You can get them and practice color grading yourself! mehranhadad.sellfy.store/products/
Thanks so much for explaining details on how to color grade with HLG3 for a beginner! I had to do a lot of searching to finally find something that made sense to me :)
It would have been great if you'd shown the scopes. Without them it's quite hard to gauge where exactly your exposure falls objectively and thus makes it harder to immitate and learn from.
@@MehranHadad Hi Mehran, I am back from my trip. I have a lot of shots all taken with HLG3 and BT 2020. Now all these clips need to be color corrected using your technique. Is there a simple way to do that for the whole project/ timeline, without having to copy and paste the Color Space transform node for each clip? Is there some sort of overlay video track that we can use like in Premiere Pro?
Ah you've already awnserd my question in another your videos; "in order to apply your grade to other shots in the same project, you just select the raw footage and middle click on the graded footage to apply the grade"
Ahhh here we go ! Again I was researching to make a video and yours popped up with everything already, hahahaha What I haven't found out yet was exactly what someone else asked. How to do the same in Premiere... I'm using Da Vinci also now, but some stuff I still do in Premiere :p Awesome video once more my friend !!
What is the point of shooting in a bt.2020 format if it is always converted to rec.709? Many screens support P3, which is close to bt.2020, but all the videos end up in Rec.709.
Good question, I’ve been trying to figure this out to. It’s my understanding that these formats provide your footage with the greatest flexibility, before it becomes 709. It’s the same as shooting RAW vs JPEG. It’s like working with vanilla icecream as a base: you can turn vanilla into any flavor you want by adding to it. But if you start with chocolate or strawberry, you have less flexibility. These flat video profiles literally give you more possibilities as they have greater dynamic range, and the colors are more flexible to work with. Even though the footage will end up being 709, we have more power over how exactly it looks, because 709 is just less flexible.
Thank you for your video! Could you please make another video about HDR output for HLG3 footage, as most mobile devises and new TVs are HDR capable now?
Hello my friend, I Shot with my Sony a7iii in PP10 adf Hlg3. Can you tell me please the settings in Davinci Resolve with a Color space transforn to rec709. Thank you so much
Congratulations, I don't speak English but your tutorials are perfectly understood, please what are your settings for HLG3 and SLog2 for Sony a7iii camera. Thanks from Tacna Peru
thanks a lot for this! why do you do the conversion in the second node and not the first? I'm used to editing in premiere pro, I hope this isn't a stupid question hahah
Just wondering is there any reason that you do the colour grade after the cst? What I learned from other places is that we do all the gradings before the cst. Thanks for the video tho🙌🏻
Why you do the primaries before the transform and then the rest of the color grade after that node instead of using the transform node as the last and work inside the SLog Color Space to take advantage of the dynamic range and the color gamut?
Awesome video !!! It was just what I needed !!! How can I do Color space transformation in Adobe Premiere? You can make a tutorial of that !!! Congratulations on your work, you are great !!! Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching dude! As far as I know, Premiere pro does not support Color Space transform feature, But you can use Correction Luts instead which will do the color space conversion for you! Appreciate your support, have a awesome day!
Thank you so much for your support! You need to use correction luts in premiere pro cause we do not have color space transform feature in premiere pro as far as I know!
Brother your videos are honestly really helpful but please write down the shortcuts you use on the screen. Like how you're disabling all the nodes at once.
Really Appreciate your support mate! ALT+D disables and enables all the nodes and CTRL+D disables the selected Node! Thanks for the suggestion and best wishes
Hi! Great tutorial. Everything is clear and simple :). Do you know something about matching color with color sample boards (like x-rite color checker video or another)? If you know, can you make tutorial how to use color matching tool and what settings to use in Davinci Resolve (inside project or with nodes)?
Hi, Thank you so much for watching mate! Glad to hear that! Unfortunately I don't have access to a x-rite color checker or other ones! I wish I had one but for now I don't! Sorry. Have a great day!
You just saved my life mate. Thanks a lot ! Do you use slog2 with itu709 matrix ? Which picture profile do you recommend hlg3 or slog2 ? Thank you in advance.
I'm really glad to hear this dude! My pleasure! Yes I use Slog with the Rec709 color space! Right now I have switched to Hlg3 and I mostly use it! Best wishes!
Subscribed! I just have a couple of questions about the recording process. Did you overexposed +1 stop when recording? And what value did you set the zebra to guide you? Thanks man
did you change anything in color management in the project settings? are you supposed to do this AND change the color management? i.e. color science and timeline color space
@@MehranHadad Really u got a great clarity while delivering the tutorial. There are very few youtube channels for Davinci Resolves. I can see a big future for this channel. 😀😄😃 cheers 🍻

Hi, thanks for the great Video. I film with a Sony A73 HGL3 BT. 2020 Profile witch settings i must change at the da vinci resolve colour management? Thanks a lot
Thank you for this video, it's very informative. I have a problem in that when I use the same settings as you have on my HLG3 footage, everything blows way out and I have to make big adjustments to make bring the clip back to a reasonable exposure. Could you please explain if I am doing anything wrong and why this would be. Thank you in advance.
What if you just colour grade/correct skin tones without the process you showed? Can I get similar pop in colour for the skin tones directly by colour grading?
It might be possible to some levels, but you might not achieve the same flattering results as you get here, because it would be better to convert the color space so you get accurate colors
@@MehranHadad thank you! And just two other questions, is Davinci resolve (17) totally free? What minimum system configurations do you recommend to be able to edit/colour grade easily?(RAM/processor/..)
Your videos are very informative. I would like to know if you use standard settings in camera for HLG3 with BT.2020 or do you use more custom settings? Keep up the good work 👌 I look forward to your upcoming videos.
Thank you so much for your support mate, really appreciate it 🙏❤️ I use default HLG3 settings with BT.2020, I just set the details to -6. Have a great day!
Hello, I have tried to do the same process in premiere pro to convert to rec709 but the footage is not the same, but rather with more contrast, would you know if the same result can be obtained in premier pro and I am doing something wrong
Have you any idea why my skin tones are changing to super pinky? I'm filming in hlg2 bt2020 and converting to rec709 same as you, and my colors are so bad...
What about having two CSTs, I see some youtubers use both the first to convert to davinci colour space then another one back to rec709. All the grades are done in between the two nodes
do you have any experience of A7iii and CINE4 picture profile? If yes I wanna know what are you camera settings and how you do color grading in DaVinci Resolve.

It doesn’t really work with my GH5 HLG. It crushes all. It could be also a timeline colour space adjustment.
you should either use the CST or the Project color management

Thanks for watching dude! Yes Exactly
Wow! Can we save it as a Preset/LUT?
I'm not sure about this but I think it's possible to save the nodes as Luts if I'm not wrong!
i think rec2020 is a very large color space, there is no point in adjusting the footage captured in sony camera color space to it.
Hello, I have tried to do the same process in premiere pro to convert to rec709 but the footage is not the same, but rather with more contrast, would you know if the same result can be obtained in premier pro and I am doing something wrong
what will be the cst, input color space and gamma if i used 709 color mode in hlg2
Idk why if I use cst my footage turn into over exposed,but yours is normal
How do you do this in premiere pro?
You should use converting luts
This is great info🔥🙌

Open FX in Davinci Resolve 18 works differently and doesn't even open like what you're showing in your video, do you have an alternative option?

I think your color temperature is wrong! But when you convert BT2020 to Rec709, colors shift towards red a little bit

Hello, sir how about using luts is the output gamma and color space will not be the same?
Perfect 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I work on fcpx but I can see how similarly can work there. Would you ETTR hlg3 and Slog2 for this to work?
Amazing!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Are these videos from a Sony 8bit camera?
Yessss
Thanks for the help ! LOL
Shouldn't the input gamma be HLG (Scene)? HLG is display referred.
Do you know what is the cine 2 output gama
what is your hlg3 setting in camera
I shot my footage in hlg3 but pp 7 so rec709. Can i still get a good result?
What about having two CSTs, I see some youtubers use both the first to convert to davinci colour space then another one back to rec709. All the grades are done in between the two nodes
