Well done Alex. So many color grading RUclipsrs lead out down a rabbit trail following the greatness of their abilities to see the colors and randomly adjust dials, rather than using the tools to identify the specific colors in question. Much appreciated showing how to use the tools instead!
Love to hear that! I have more colour matching videos coming soon as well, using some new techniques over learned over the last couple of months to hopefully make it even easier! I attempt to do exactly what you've described, so I'm super stoked to hear that I succeed, at least to some extend so far!
I can color match two completely different images using RGB or LAB Color picker in PS. In this video, he is eye-balling the difference. I don't know if it is possible to quantify the difference in Davinci Resolve like in Photoshop, but this video did not "identify the specfic colors in queestion"
Dude! You saved me! I'm new to Resolve and had two pieces of NFL broadcast footage from 1970, both from the same game. One was great, the other's color was off. I tried the primary wheels, the color scopes, etc. Couldn't get them to match. Then came across this and applied the same method and voila! Thank you!!!
hi alex, Thanks for the video, btw can you help me on this, i have done color grading and then later imported a new clip to the project and falsely matched that colors to the graded one, how can i undo i. Tried the normal undo, but nothing happened!
Hey, sorry for the late reply! The easiest way to reset a clip is by using "CMD + N" or you can right click in the Node Tree window and reset the grade, then copy it from another clip onto this one and adjust as needed. That's what I would do, if I understand your issue correctly 😊
hi thanks for video. Quick question - what if you receive footage and you don't know what camera it's been shot on. Im working with a footage library from a client that has different drone shot and very obvious different cameras - what do i put in the input and gamma? thanks!
You are welcome! What I would do in your scenario is try to see what gives some great or at least decent results. There's no way really to identify what profile has been used if you don't have a file on it. So, if it's shot in LOG I would start with the popular brands, Canon, Sony and Fuji. Try their LOG profiles and see what works best. In the end it's not important that it's the perfect conversion if you don't know what it was shot in but that you are satisfied with the outcome and most log profile conversions in Davinci will get you a step forward. So I would go trial and error, starting with sony s-log3, then canon log 3 or 2 and then fuji and see what I like most and then grade from there.

first meaningful video in this topic! Thanks!

Awesine man! Love to hear that it worked out for you - sounds like some fun color matching!
Thank you this is very helpful, I having found many videos on matching colour grade between shots
Glad to hear that, just posted a new one the other day as well with some more techniques 🙏🏻
This was really helpful.
Thanks a lot for useful videos. Keep it up. ❤💯
Great
Oh, I didn't understand most of that. Still I got the infos I needed to match my cheap phone video (very vivid) to my Nikon D800 set on Standard.
Hey, really great video! Thanks
Hey! Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!

When I try to use it and I have a second clip "media offline" I try many stuff from RUclips but I can't get thru :( any suggestion's??
Regards!
Sorry, I'm not sure why that happens :(
great
Thank you!

@@AlexBjorstorp Thanks so much for the answer! I have been doing that , trial and error - it seems the footage shot on a drone is the most fiddly 😕
please tutorial gopro, dji drone and camera
I'll add that to the list! :)
@@AlexBjorstorp thanks
