Way more effort than I would give it. Makes sense though. Good for people to see how to use the color compressor. Works well when people have red blotches as well. The face refinement tool has a shine removal. Haven't tried it but just thought I would mention it.
Thanks for the input Jim. I kinda have a love/hate relationship with the face refinement tool. When it works it's excellent, but if someone moves a certain way and it breaks down it's in trouble and you can't really "open the hood" and sort things out if that makes sense. If you could export the face refinement tool as its components in individually tracked power windows that would be incredible. Who knows maybe in a future update eh?
Nathan Carter is perhaps one of the VERY FEW Davinci Resolve users, or colorist, that is humble enough to use keyboard and mouse. I thought he was starting up or not much money to buy Blackmagic's device, but he is STILL using keyboard! Not giving the rest of us n00bz the impression that one MUST spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on Blackmagic's exorbitant device/s in order to make images great-looking.
Haha the reality is I'm cheap! But for speed I do have a mouse with 12 programmable keys around the thumb area that I bought for around $50 canadian. I have 3 custom pre sets I toggle through depending on the use case, one for colour page, one for editing, and one for non resolve use. For example in the colour page this allows me with one button to: add a node, rename a node, disable a node, disable the entire node graph, etc. I also enable the printer light hotkeys to quickly adjust global values. I suspect this setup would probably work well for many people. However there are people that need something like an advanced panel as it's cost is offset by the time it saves them and their clients, but the important thing to remember is that better tools will never make someone more experienced or knowledgeable.
@@NathanCarterVids I agree with what you say but what the literally heck! I genuinely did not know any one like you using a 'type of mouse' like that before! I know gamers do that especially with keyboard, but never before did I know anyone doing editing (of any type of media) using a mouse with massive custom pre-sets and programmes. I figuratively vomit blood looking at 50 Canadian dollar mouse. I have never used one like that in my life! Even my keyboard is cheap. I am cheap as well but way cheaper than you are. Yes. I used to say similar to what you mentioned to my friend and I still say something else similar to the effect to people that having a million dollar lens and camera (body) does not mean one will make breath-taking images. My first camera is Canon A95, my friend is rich so he kept buying 'better' cameras, but my images attracted people a lot more than that of my friend's. Nothing to do with 'cinematic' nonsense. Basically no one talked about cinematic rubbish in the past. 'Influencers' wasting time with drinking coffee, frequent pause and stare, B-roll, and inferior slapstick were not a thing in the past. (These all start very likely due to how money is earned online in modern time. Need to satisfy so-called 'algorithm' in order to get paid.)
you didn't show smthg important about qualifier, because it's just showing another coloring, but not changing the image at all so how to make sure it applies to the clip?
Hi since I upgraded DAVINCI to 17.4 I'm been having issues. There are problems with the malfunction of the laptop keyboard :( JKL) Forward-reverse not working-- P Full screen not working. undo Control Z does not work. IN-OUT not working. How to solve this problem? Thanks
@@NathanCarterVids keyboard customization preferences Yes, then everything worked out. But after a while the problem came back up again, then it worked out again and again a glitch
What about removing reflections of lighting in a subject's eye glasses? I notice that in my footage of a talking head video, there are a few moments, randomly spread around the footage, where the studio lighting is seen as a reflection in the person's eye glasses.
This can get messy. If the object is reflective and non transparent, then it can be pretty straightforward (Provided what the reflective object looks like). I actually just did this for a client last month with a solid blue bicycle helmet that in one shot reflected an onset umbrella we were using cause it was a hot day. This however exceeds my scope of knowledge if the object is transparent, especially if there's an eye or something under the offending area. This is more VFX heavy than I cover, cause as much as I'd like, you just can't do it all. I wonder if some of the more VFX focused resolve channels would be able to point you in the right direction on that one?
Hopefully I won't need to start using this technique for myself for at least a few more years :P As always more info in the description
Thanks for amazing tutorial @nathan, i have headcache couple months of this shine.

so how to make sure it applies to the clip?
Thank you , helped me out of a bind - talent's face was oily and there was a stubborn hotspot on his brow and nose that i struggled with!
Thank you so much for this! I have some interview footage of someone with seriously shiny skin. This REALLY made it look lots better.

Have you tried going into your keyboard customization preferences? Just to make sure those actions are binded to those keys.
