Just to say having discovered you recently, I find your Videos very clear and concise and extremely easy to follow, so thanks and keep up the great work! Your Videos have really helped me with coming up to speed on Resolve.
This method 1:00 - 1:30 would also be quite useful to create a video normal map for use in 3D software like Blender. I'm using this on greenscreen footage that I've exported as alpha and it creates depth on things that would otherwise appear 2D. Just thought I'd share for anyone hoping to do the same.
can you perhaps link me to any normal map + blender + greenscreen videos you found helpful? I'm curious if this could be used in virtual production, this is so exciting!
Thanks! Just a thought: In the first example I imagine it would be better if you applied the lighting FX BEFORE bringing the exposure down, because if I’m not mistaken, in the way you worked, you compressed the information the surface map has to work with and then with the artificial light source you brought brightness back from the basis of a compressed image that was there to begin with. To break it down more: I think you brought the exposure down, lost information and then brought the exposure back up
Awesome new addition - Thanks for informing about it. Create a tutorial for how each tool in Fusion works and how to use it (with the inspector) so we can better understand the Fusion page. Otherwise, the fusion will get confused
For some reason I am able to follow you better than others. You really helped with me mastering the masking feature. Now I need relight and a google search and here you are again. I should have subscribed the first time. Thanks for your help! AZ USA
So nice to hear it!😊 please check out my brand new color grading course and if you can, share it: colorgradinginsights.thinkific.com/courses/masteringcolorgrading
Thanks for this very interesting tutorial ! It would be great to see how much we can push this relight tool to do a complete virtual lighting. I'm wondering how much the tool can replace full lighting. How far are we from this ? Since you are a real pro at colouring, I would like to challenge you to take a scene that's badly lit, and use DVC tools to replace lighting. I think it would be a great video. We're entering the world of virtual production now and virtual lights could be a real thing if it would give us the possibility to replace lighting.
Nice ! thanks you ! I have a question, why do you use a dual relight node structure versus simply put the relight effect on a single node ? Isn't supposed to do the same effect ? Thanks.
It’s better to split the lighting and the map for better performance and also you can add multiple lights like this. Well spotted - I should have explained it in the video!
Awesome new addition and awesome video! Is there a way to use a tracker with the spotlight feature to keep it fixed on the same spot as the camera moves around?
I haven't tried this yet, but if you look at 3:09 you'll see the light direction values can be keyframed, so I guess so. Of course the question is how convincing will this be?
You have shared amazingly great tips on the relight FX, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm learning for sure. I'm a newbie to DaVinci Resolve though I have been using Blackmagic Cameras for sometime. I hav also subbed to your channel.
It works by itself but the adavantage of creating the map seperately is that you can use that map node to use multiple relight node rather than re-calculating that map on every node every time you create another relight node and because that surface map calculation is the most cpu and gpu intensive process you can cache that map node and your pc can run smoothly even with many relight node
Thank you for the tutorial. And if after every step is done the effect still doesn't work in final image? It works when used in preview mode but when I turn it off then I see no result. Could it be because of I have Resolve Version and watermark shows on the talent after applying this effect?
@@colorgradinginsights I have uprageded and still effect is not visible. I needed to edit the wheels to see some slightly visible effect. Not something I was expected for but yeah, it seems to work in some way. Maybe on different video it will be visible in more vivd way.
Thanks for the video. I see Davinci also added face filter like we have on smartphones. What filter you used for your face and when can we find the face filter window?
This is like taking apple's portrait mode for phones and giving minuet control to creators - I cannot wait to see the cool things people create, the future is bright!
Nice tutorial! Subbed. Now, here's a a tip to take it to the next level: Add a separate Depth Map Node, feed it with the original Primary Grade Node, and take the Alpha output of Depth Map into the final Relight FX Node, now you can light your scene based on depth, that way the virtual light only affects the background or foreground and not on both!
Really cool, thanks for going over this! Was super curious about seeing that effect in action. Could potentially be a powerful option for matching green screen clips.
Why does every single one of these with this new feature does not show it working in a clip, just a still frame. Can we please get a preview of what it looks like after in a running clip?
Good content, didn’t know of this feature yet. One thing tho, you applied the effects on still images. Must be a lot of work(heavy on pc) to track it all?
Just dipped my toes into Davinci, or should I say video editing in general, so this is way above my pay grade right now. But, regardless the capabilities of this software are truly amazing. Even more so considering it's free! Black Magic is truly a blessing.
Hello, am not seeing the latest version of davinci resolve on my laptop. Am still seeing 18.1.4, why is it not telling me to update to the latest version?
In theory it seems great but results do not seem convincing enough. I’d like to see in a neutral soft lit face a result like moving light from left to right etc, applying shadows that follow features, bone structure. The examples seem not very different from what can be achieved with gradient light through power windows and keying.

Who would of thought that the company called Black Magic would make consistent developments in software that are almost magical.
Haha, yeah! It’s very exciting!
finally software worth buying.
Totally Agreed 👍
Very surprised.
And its all by "Design"

Resolve does also have the ability to export a depth map using AI, so you could compare results with using the depth or normal map
Thats the 1st thing I thought of when I saw it too!
Best video I've come across so far on explaining how to use the relight tool. Excellent job. You made my day!!
Wow, thanks!
Thanks!

Finally someone actually showed what the effect looks like instead of just the surface map

Will do!

Without you I wouldn’t be able to take advantage of these tools with full knowledge, thank you for being an incredible teacher!
You're very welcome!
Ya, you could spend a few hours experimenting with it to figure out how it works, or six minutes watching this video. :)
Wow, this is what I have been waiting for a long time
This is nuts! What a game changer!! This blew my mind as much as the ARRI 35 did

Nice quick demo of this awesome new feature Thanks! Resolve is magic..
Glad you like it!
@@colorgradinginsights did you attend NAB?

A great tool Also, a very interesting update in the overlay mode, simplifies the grading scheme without layer mixers
Glad you like it!
This is really an amazing tool! I can't wait to work on a project good enough to test it
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the explanation. Very clear and easy to understand (although I am not sure when I would use that effect).
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome new addition and awesome video! Is there a way to use a tracker with the spotlight feature to keep it fixed on the same spot as the camera moves around?
I wonder this as well! The examples were almost static shots, how will it look with the subject moving?
I haven't tried this yet, but if you look at 3:09 you'll see the light direction values can be keyframed, so I guess so. Of course the question is how convincing will this be?
Whoops, stupid me forgot about the tracker on the Color page. Now you've got me curious as well: can you track the relight tool?
Best tutorial for this new feature. omg.
i was half way to understanding how it worked :D
Thank you so much
You're welcome!
what if i had a bunch more nodes (secondary color, vignette, glow, etc) do i add this node at teh very beginning or at the very end?

What kind of machine hardware u are using i see that It works without any slowdowns
Nice tutorial and more intuitive than others.

Thank you for a tutorial on this subject using the latest version.
Why are we creating the map in the node before it? It should work by itself with internal surface map right?
It works by itself but the adavantage of creating the map seperately is that you can use that map node to use multiple relight node rather than re-calculating that map on every node every time you create another relight node and because that surface map calculation is the most cpu and gpu intensive process you can cache that map node and your pc can run smoothly even with many relight node

How do you add a second virtual light? I've tried, but I don't think it's working, and I can't find any tutorials or instructions on it.
Thank you for the information 🔥🔥.
Any time!
Thanks so much! Now the plugin makes sense. 🏆
Thanks so much for watching!
Free. dried information for saving the time. Appreciated.

Thanks for the video. I see Davinci also added face filter like we have on smartphones. What filter you used for your face and when can we find the face filter window?
Would this idea be able to put a subject into a silhouette? Ie, can you put a light source behind a part of the image?
Amazing!! 👏🏽👏🏽
Will this work in Davinci Resolve free version?
Unfortunately, it seems to only be the studio version.
Thanks because I couldn't figure out how to light the scene after generating the map.
Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial, to the point and clear. Thank you!
Thanks so much for visiting my channel!
Wonderful explanation 🙂 helps a lot, Thank you Kaisa🙂
You're welcome 😊
You win first place in « davinci resolve relight » search 😂

Yes! Thanks for watching my video!
That was GREAT.... Really enjoyed this video... 😊❤
Glad you enjoyed it
On iPad Pro with M2 the DaVinci crash. Always at this point : 2:34 .
Am i the only one with such crash ?
I have the same. M2 Max 96GB...I think these Videos are Made by Davinci as Commercials....its not stable yet not even usable...
I have my nodes set up the exact same way and the 3rd node relight dropdown does not work
Thanks for the tutorial. I don’t see any effect happening when I do this. There’s no manipulation of shadow and light. Stays exactly the same.
That looks pretty powerful. I'm really excited to try it on my own!
Thanks for the visit!
You're the first tutorial on this tool. Thank you! May I ask what graphics card you were using? My 1070 ti couldn't handle it.
Nice tutorial! Subbed. Now, here's a a tip to take it to the next level:

Thank you so much for this! Will definitely play around with it.
This is really cool!
Have you seen a difference between using the relighting tool versus power windows? Thanks!
Yes! Relight FX simulates not only lighting but also shadows!
@@colorgradinginsights what situations have you seen this look the best?
I setup everything exactly like this and when I uncheck Relight Map Preview the effect doesn't show on the clip at all.
Hello! Is it possible to track a face while "relighting" it in footage where the faces are way too dark? Thanks!
Is it possible to turn everything dark and relight just the face, like a thunder hitting the room?
What the heck, that's absolutely nuts!
Yeah, Blackmagic is smashing it! Thanks for watching my videos!
@@colorgradinginsights Of course! No problem at all :)
That was a great tutorial, and always to the point.Keep it up.
Thank you! 🙏
Great video. Direct to the point.
I appreciate that!
DaVinci cleaning up in this industry, this is awesome
Yes! It’s very exciting!
Very interesting Kasia, thanks !🥰😘
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for the demonstration😁
My pleasure 😊
I can't colorgrade but I love your ASMR🥰
I hope you’ll learn something haha
Thank you. Just curious. Would it work just with only "relight"? And not using extra "light" effect.
Yeah it’s a weird extra step since it’s the map that it makes by itself anyway….
Really cool, thanks for going over this! Was super curious about seeing that effect in action.
Could potentially be a powerful option for matching green screen clips.
Possibly!
TRUELY BLACK MAGIC🕺🏾✨🔥
Yeah!
Very well narrated thank you
Thanks so much!

Terrific tutorial and wow, what a tool!
Thanks for the visit!
Amazing video
The only issue I have is that when I try to render it, it creates a white circle on the person's face 😢
It’s a bug I think, it’s still Beta, let’s not forget!
Woow just magic congratutlations ;)
Thank you Nico🖤

I wonder how strong my computer must be to be able to display the eff in realtime. My 32gb ram Thinkpad can´t cope with it at all.
That's amazing, thank you.
Liked, subbed, saved to my DR playlist 😅. Thank you 😊
Welcome aboard!
Is it the best to use relight after grading or before grading?
After!
Very helpful. Thank you 😊 🙌🏿
Thanks so much for watching!
What's the point? The light fell from the left, and after FX, it also falls from there? The original picture has not changed in any way.
where can I get a paid course on Davinci fusion for motion graphics, please share the link.

This is actually insane
Yes! It’s a quite heavy effect on the system as well unfortunately
Mine seems to go super laggy and extremely slow, unusable. Can you recommend anything? I'm using a Apple M1 Pro 16gb Ram...
How do you change the color of the light?
Hey friend, just move the color of the gain wheel in the second relight node.
well done
Thanks!
