What’s impressive is that I’ve watch all kinds of tutorials on a few things you do here, but your presentation (or perhaps there is a better way to describe it-but how you get the info from your brain to our ears…) is incredibly easy to follow and understand. See, I’m even explaining it poorly, but the point is-bravo. Nice work, as usual! 🙌🏽
This was a great way of explaining how to use the color space transform. It has always been odd for me to use but you did a great job breaking it down piece by piece. Thanks Marcel! You rock!
To be honest, I haven't watched any of your vids in awhile. But after coming back and seeing this, this was great! I got so many more tips off this than I was expecting. Great work man!
I found you and subscribed from watching @CaseyFaris. I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to figure out the color space transform for a DJI drone. This video explained everything PERFECTLY! Well done, Sir, well done!
The first tip is great if you didn’t get it in camera or your need to change it after the fact, but learning to pan and orbit the gimbal while pushing forward with the drone is something all pilots should learn. You get great parallax when adding the camera move to drone flights. Good tips overall...a lot of people don’t know how to use the CST nodes ...keep them coming...
🙏 Appreciate you and this. I was trying to match A7s3 and DJI for a video. I knew about colorspace transform but did not think to use it in this way. Was driving me nuts, tried this it helped get me way closer than spending a full day trying to match manually. Truly appreciate the time you are putting into your craft as well as sharing it with others. Hope to pay it forward to you someday 😉. Keep up the great work, it will pay off homie, promise! 🙏🙏🙏
This was great. I really appreciate the explanation. Can I put in a request to color correct and "fix" Rec 709 DJI drone footage - ie., I didn't shoot it in LOG?
Nice bro. I own the dynamic zoom :) For anyone reading with the M2P, set your lens correction distortion value to 0.245 and apply to all clips and you're done.
Thank you @Ventus Media 🙏 I appreciate the comment! Sometimes it feels like I use the Dynamic Zoom on every other shot 🤣 Great tip for lens correction 👊✌
@@jacosmuts8818 Put 0.145 in on FULL FOV on a level building shot and then 0.245 - you'll see a big increase in distortion. Those advertised initial figures are incorrect.
Very nice work on that. You just shown plenty options how to upgrade some footage to another level. I don't have any drone yet, but this type of knowledge you just give in this video is inspiring and I will use it one day for sure. Thank you. Like it :-) (Yeah, and still waiting for another episode of your vlog)
Thank you Peter!! I really appreciate all the kind words and you taking the time to leave a comment 🙏 I am a little behind this week but I plan to get a vlog out this weekend 🎉🎉
Main thing that stood out to me was just how dumb I am when it comes to editing. Awesome video and very well done, but way over my head. I would spend 3 hours if the day just tying to remember where each setting is. Thanks
You are right, distortion correction might be called for in this case.... With all the new styles of filming I thought I would leave that one up to the viewer. I have noticed some people like the lense distortion these days
Excellent tutorial, thanks for this explanation! I've been struggling with making my DJI footage look more cinematic not to mention match my Blackmagic BMPCCs. Would you happen to know what input color space I could use on the DJI Osmo Action? Trying to find this information without any luck.
Thanks for the comment John! The color space transform is really only to be used with RAW or LOG footage and I believe the closest thing the OSMO Action has is D-Cinelike and there is no profile for that within the color space transform. 👊✌️
You should be able to download no problem. It doesn't matter what drone file you use. Choose a shot you like and make it your own with these techniques. Then choose another shot and try again. Practice makes perfect 👊✌
Hi Marcel....I try to import the D-Cinelike video from dji mini 3 pro to davinci......but davinci do nothing and nothing imported...do you have tips to resolve it. Tried many times same result
I usually try to match the better looking camera. Or for instance if I have a timeline with mostly shots from a Canon camera then I have a few shots from a Sony camera I will just match the Sony shots to look like the Canon shots since most of the shots are from the Canon.... This is mainly preference 👊✌️
(Warning: complete noob over here trying to learn color grading ) Quick question, I always read that LUTS are a destructive process of bringing the videos to rec 709 (or any other color space) if this is correct wouldn't be better to use 2 CST instead of 1? First CST would convert from DJI log to Blackmagic Video color space. The second CST would then convert from Blackmagic color space to rec 709? Also, if I am coloring with one of the film luts available in resolve I could do a direct conversion from the DJI color space to cineon color space in one node and in a second node I could just apply a film lut Like kodak 2383 D65 (I love the look of this particular lut) Great video btw :)
Really?! I do think it is important to use a LUT made for the kind of camera and footage you are using but I don't think LUTs in themselves are destructive. A LUT can seem similar to an instagram filter but a LUT is really just a color translator.... Most film directors will work with a Colorist to make a custom LUT for their films but that LUT is based around the specific type of camera and footage that was used. Good question, thanks for the comment 👊✌
Also a noob, but I agree with most of what you said. There are multiple categories of LUTs for different purposes. Some of them are corrective LUTs which you can use to bring LOG footage into Rec.709 or other color spaces. I consider these to be non-destructive. Camera manufacturers usually provide them for free. Other LUTs are more artistic and give the footage a certain style or look. This latter version can be destructive because it can shift and remove colors. This will limit you in how you can edit once you apply it so you normally apply it at the end of your node tree. For example you can have a LUT that makes the green more yellowish which will make it impossible to target and distinguish the initial green from yellow in your edit. CST is basically a more powerful corrective LUT. In my very limited experience, matching LOG footage is easy with CST nodes and a bit of hue adjustments. And if you like film emulation, you can do CST to Cineon instead of your normal color space and then apply a free film emulation LUT at the end and it will give everything the same feel. Based on my understanding, movie directors are using LUTs to preview what they are shooting on their monitors. I expect everything to be shot flat/raw/log and color graded more precisely later. In this case the LUT is like a Instagram filter use for display only, the result is not recorded.
@@MariusLucianNEAG ahhhh, it make sense that we can split luts into those 2 categories! My understanding was that a CST was just a mathematical operation that can be reversed , and a LUT was just a value replacement. But again I am a complete noob :D
@@TheModernFilmmaker so true. Many film makers like to put a harsh buzz on LUTs. When I started out i was dropping them with 0.500 - 0.600 opacity lol and it was you who showed me the way with the subtle 0.100 - 0.200.
For the love of god, would the color space and input gamma be the same if I'm using a mavic air 2 which is using d-cinelike? I've been trying to find this out for months
Unfortunately d-cinelike is doing from d-log. I would use the same method I used here, I believe the color space is the same but the Gamma is different. Maybe if you use the 1st node and in the curves pull the high point down and the low point up a little to get it closer to d-log.... If that doesn't work then the Color Space Transform may not work for this but you could still use the other techniques used in this video just get a more cinematic image.
@@TheModernFilmmaker All I read was "don't use the color space transform" lol. I don't have any pro gear so I don't actually struggle much with shot matching but I wanted to learn which color space and input gamma just for educational purposes. I only shoot with a dji pocket 2, mavic air 2 and my cell phone. So after seeing this video, I know now that I wasn't doing anything wrong when the color changed so drastically. I just didn't know what else do after those 1st two steps since the cameras were all essentially the same.
The results were actually in the beginning with a shot from a recent commercial I did for Tetra Hearing. The drone shots fit very well along side the 12k and 6k shot that are also in the edit. 👍
In the beginning I show a video with matched drone footage to BM footage. This video is more focused on the Color Space Transform and how you can use it to match almost any 1 camera to another depending on your project needs.... Sorry if it didn't help you. 👊✌
spoilt it with the flair ,looked fake .you spent so much time on this clip and tbh you would not even notice as clip is so short.sometimes to much is really to much .just my take on it .set up camera correctly and you only need to make few tweaks ,im not a pro but have been filming for 40 years but its not my profession
Totally understand you having an opinion 👍 it's all art to me and I think we all have different preferences. No preference is wrong it's just the choice of the creator. 40 years is a long time! I own a production company and have worked with several international brands & artists like Lululemon, Tobymac, SteelFit, B.o.B., Aquasport, Optimum Nutrition. The video shown in the forest at the beginning is from an upcoming ad campaign for Tetra Hearing. In this industry people hire you for your "look". The clients that call my company seem to like my look and I am sure there are plenty of brands who don't prefer my look... You should start a channel, you seem pretty knowledgeable. 😊✌
