I spent the past year fighting with exposure without understanding if I have to expose +1, +2, +0 and so on... cause no matter what I do, after grading the images look just too dark, and you solved my problem in less than 20min THANK YOU
Every time I watch one of your episodes I learn something important. Thanks man, contrast management has always been a tough subject for me. Now I have a much clearer and more organized vision. You're great, thanks again
Wagas Quazi, explain for noob pls.. chat gpt says - 385exp - close to 40% of grey in 10bit 0_0 and, 18% gray in 10bit is 184 : === You're referring to **exposure 385 in 10-bit processing**, which likely refers to a pixel value or brightness level in a 10-bit color space. In a 10-bit color system, the range of values goes from 0 to 1023, with 0 being black and 1023 being the brightest white. If **385** represents an exposure or brightness value in this 10-bit system, it means that pixel is at a brightness level of **385** out of 1023. To convert this into an RGB value in a 10-bit color space, the value would typically apply equally to the Red, Green, and Blue channels for a grayscale value. ### Final RGB Value (10-bit): - **R = 385** - **G = 385** - **B = 385** So, the RGB value for exposure **385** in a **10-bit** grayscale format would be: **(385, 385, 385)** This would represent a gray color, with the intensity being a bit less than 40% of the maximum brightness in a 10-bit system. If you're looking to convert this value to an 8-bit system, you'd scale it down by dividing by 4 (since 1023 ÷ 255 ≈ 4): \[ \frac{385}{4} \approx 96 \] Thus, in 8-bit RGB, it would be: **(96, 96, 96)** === How U get 18%grey at 385exp in 10bit? Thnx for video anyway
Wow REALLY good stuff. Super appreciate how you help us understand all these nuances and I certainly have leaned on your videos over the past couple years. Love this stuff and helps me really enjoy this part of the creative process :D
“Thank you so much for this episode! I completely understand the contrast you highlighted, and it was incredibly helpful for me. Please, please keep creating more videos like this! 🙏🏻” So valubale thises ultimate episode👌🏻👌🏻you did that
yeah by curves the control is a way better ... but I usually use HDR wheels separating in some very accurate zones black dark shadows lights highlights and specular...
@miniatureface lol. If your going to try to write a moronic roast. Try understanding what I was saying in the first place. Nothing to do with the number. It's the colour space.... Which Qazi has agreed with. Numpty.
@@miniatureface LOL. Would you like to read back over my comment before trying to make a sarcastic "funny" comment. Just so you can understand it a bit better? Nothing to do with the number (that would've been really pedantic) It was about the colour space. Which WOULD be drastically different. Cool? Good.
just bought QT charts and Color compressor ! really excited. what should my colour management be in my project settings if im shooting with S log 3 but want to work in a davinci colour space, as well as the the idt and odt . i'm still a bit confused on that setup process :(
Let's go bro!!! You'll be receiving an onboarding email sequence that'll take you thru everything you need to know but always work in DWG as working color space. 💪🏽
Thanks for posting. Just a question re 2.4 or 2.2, I thought 2.4 was for cinematic release and 2.2 was for TV, is that wrong and should I use 2.4 for everything?
You are dishing hot meat porriage these days, i sware your last tutorial on timeling organisation termed "3 grading lessons i learn the hard way"was the best thing that happened to me i no more find it difficuilt to grade, balance and twerk my grades on my node tree thanks a million Quaz man.

chat gpt says - 385exp - close to 40% of grey in 10bit 0_0
and, 18% gray in 10bit is 184 :
===
You're referring to **exposure 385 in 10-bit processing**, which likely refers to a pixel value or brightness level in a 10-bit color space. In a 10-bit color system, the range of values goes from 0 to 1023, with 0 being black and 1023 being the brightest white.
If **385** represents an exposure or brightness value in this 10-bit system, it means that pixel is at a brightness level of **385** out of 1023.
To convert this into an RGB value in a 10-bit color space, the value would typically apply equally to the Red, Green, and Blue channels for a grayscale value.
### Final RGB Value (10-bit):
- **R = 385**
- **G = 385**
- **B = 385**
So, the RGB value for exposure **385** in a **10-bit** grayscale format would be:
**(385, 385, 385)**
This would represent a gray color, with the intensity being a bit less than 40% of the maximum brightness in a 10-bit system. If you're looking to convert this value to an 8-bit system, you'd scale it down by dividing by 4 (since 1023 ÷ 255 ≈ 4):
\[
\frac{385}{4} \approx 96
\]
Thus, in 8-bit RGB, it would be:
**(96, 96, 96)**

How U get 18%grey at 385exp in 10bit?
Thnx for video anyway
it seems, for newbe, U working with 40%-ich point ?
so, we should needle 18% or 385(40%ich)?
Wow REALLY good stuff. Super appreciate how you help us understand all these nuances and I certainly have leaned on your videos over the past couple years. Love this stuff and helps me really enjoy this part of the creative process :D
I didnt unserstood how to find 18% grey without QT, other than this, very vool video, never heard of any of this before, you're a killer !
“Thank you so much for this episode! I completely understand the contrast you highlighted, and it was incredibly helpful for me. Please, please keep creating more videos like this! 🙏🏻”
So valubale thises ultimate episode👌🏻👌🏻you did that
This is awesome, thanks Qazi
Thank you Qazi! Always coming in with a clutch
Qazman : El Jefe 🙌🏼
Thank you for this. Do you do this on every grade? Or have you trained your ey for it
Would you please make a ultimate Masterclass about Balancing, the first node of the journey ? ❤
Please❤😍🥰
Change the node to linear and use the gain color wheel.
Does it work better that way bro ?
Yes.... Very important lesson learned.... Thanks a LOT.... This was HUGE!!
This is pure GOLD. Thank!
Really helpful Video. Cant wait for a new qazi toolkid 1h Video.
WOW!!!! Learning so much!! Thank you!!!!!
yeah by curves the control is a way better ... but I usually use HDR wheels separating in some very accurate zones black dark shadows lights highlights and specular...
Yo, enjoying the vids.... important to say. 18% grey is .336 only in Davinci Wide Gamut. Its different for different colour spaces.
Good point
Yea it looked like it shifted the gray the TINIEST bit, when it was set it .335 in this vid. I was outraged.

Valuable lesson. Thanks
AMAZING, so much tips and value !!!!
Golden! Thank you
Thank you for this interesting video !!
Great video. Thank you very very much!

@@theqazman hey, unless i missed it, i didnt see any email regarding system colour setup. was mainly videos on the tools
Very helpful ❤
thank you alwaysnice tricks
Thanks 🙏 for this video
Thank you for this. But the link to the practice footage isn't working.
You're the best 🏆💪🏾
Thanks for posting. Just a question re 2.4 or 2.2, I thought 2.4 was for cinematic release and 2.2 was for TV, is that wrong and should I use 2.4 for everything?
is there a way to insert the 18% grey to hold me off until i can afford the course?
Appreciated! 🙏
God bless you❤mr Qazi
Thank you
1:37 am i missing something or is 2.4 not the gamma the majority of displays use? Shouldnt it be 2.2 unless we are watching this on our TV?
Why do you say at 8.16 to use 0.335 pivot on your board image saying perfect mid grey, but in the examples you dial in 0.435?
What is the input for CST for that shared footage as it’s not Alexa as my scopes are not in the same place!!?
beast!!!!!!!!!
Anyone know how to do this in Premiere Pro?
9ce 👏
