yeah i learned why you need to put the LUT after the color space conversion! totally makes sense that it's because the lut is rec.709 (most probably are)
True. I've always seen people playing with those dials without knowing what they do and i stayed confused. Seeing the thumb and title of this vid i feel like im home
It is weird how effective this video is. I was completely clueless to how most of this stuff works. But one video later and now everything clicks into place! Great job!
I'm 14 and I just wanna say thanks for teaching me 80% of what I know about filmmaking. You've truly inspired me to pursue what I love the most and I'll be forever grateful!
14 ey? You're off to a good start! When I was 14 I was making silly stickman animations in 8 colours on Deluxe Paint. A Video camera was economically out of sight. post production options were not even on the horizon!!! Create and Enjoy!
Don't get excited, It's a video made by a guy who doesn't fully understand 80% of what he's talking about. While he's dome some work, theres some mis-advice and misleading stuff in here also
Adobe softwares are out of my budget as a film student, so I decided to use Resolve for everything edit wise, and I'm so glad you guys are teaching the basics in such an easy and informative way!
@@patrickmacisaac4991 I live in Brazil and our economy isn't the best, so for a broke student, the cost for Adobe programs is just slightly more expensive than I can afford monthly. I could pay for it, but I would be spending more money than I should
Im 16 and im studying art and animation but i know for uni i want to study and work in cinematography or editing/composition and this channel is such a big help
I used to watch this channel when I was 12 and I was getting into video production. I dropped that hobby for some other interests and now I'm 24 I've picked it up again. I'm astounded by the leap in quality. Well done
Funny, that shot from Blade Runner in the thumbnail was done in camera with lighting and filters. Sure there was some enhancement in the grade but the Orginal image in camera was actually so orange that they found some sort of artefact in the dark shadows and called Arri how also didn't know about this. This was a case where Deakins actually pushed the Alexa to places its never been before. Also for anybody interested in what color grading was like before computers, look up: Color Timing with Printer Lights. It's a really simple and intuitive process and there's a printer point feature in DaVinci Resolve that you can also control thro the touch bar on MacBooks. It's crazy to me how many different looks can be created from such a simple tool. Nolan, PTA, and Tarantino all exclusively color time with printer lights, the first two actually photochemically and not in a digital intermediate.
I am learning video editing and come here every once in a while. There is something new for me to learn everytime I come here as this consists both basics and in-depth explanations.
I grew up as a kid watching film riot for fun and because it was interesting, and here i am back years later watching for information to pass my filmmaking finals 😭❤️
I have watched several videos on color grading and this by for is the clearest and most informative one that I have seen. Best believe I am subscribing.
This is the best explanation of color space, LUTS, and or RAW I have seen so far. Color 101, I learned a lot from this even though I have been doing video for awhile now. There is still a lot more to learn. Great job!
Great video! Another use of LUTs in post-production is having a preview of the final look of a shot while working in the VFX stage. Compositing software like Nuke have a built-in quick preview using an imported LUT, so the artist can see how the shot will look in the final edit, without changing the original scan.
I'd love to hear more about the color correction process. I always find my fingers twisting during that phase, when two cameras simply won't look the same. And I'm not always sure what to pull and what histogram to look at.
I love color grading! Sometimes I feel beginners may overlook this, but for me, I've been grading footage since my first short film. I don't know why exactly, but it was important for me to grade to set the right mood. Even back then I shot in log😂 this is a great video! I hope new film makers learn a lot from it!
You guys are simply amazing. I have been following you all for probably a decade now, and I am still learning new things from you. Thank you for helping me be a jack of all trades in video haha! Your videos have played a huge part in my career path.
That was amazing. This helped me a lot to understand what the whole process looks like! A very well not-confusing overview! Arigato Film Riot, as always! :)
I used to watch you guys as a kid excited to learn how to film and edit , glad to see you’re still putting out content I forgot to sub since I used to just search for you
As an electronic musician & novice camera operator who just wants to make better visuals for my music channel, this video is like 100 "aha's" per minute. Clears up so many questions I didn't even know I had. Shooting RAW is amazing when you're a noob because you have so many ways to fix the mistakes you didn't know you were making and because it just looks so damn good. That's why I just bought a 16TB hard drive, probably the first of many LOL
What a gem of a video. I had followed other basic grading tutorials but the way you put them in order makes much more sense to me. Also nice little tip about glow. Thanks !
This is amazing. In one video, you’ve summarized and conveyed what took me weeks of toying around and googling/YTing to understand. Wish I saw this video a long time ago!
Exactly! I had the feeling that I would need to go through the endless RUclips realm myself, but luckily I stumbled across this video here on my second day of research. This just saved so much of my time 😁
Do I have to shoot stuff? No Do I have a camera and the time to do all this? No Did I watch all of this till the end and fully enjoyed it? ABSOLUTELY. Felt rich and entertaining 😊
The fact that I have to do every job on my projects, this was one of the most important videos I’ve seen this channel push out. I will definitely have to watch this again for reference.
Ok .. this video KILLED IT ... so packed with so much useful info.. specially for me as I'm the proud owner of a DaVinci studio Liscence.. looking forward to more color grading tuts.. and again thank you sooo much for this clarification on the different tools and what they are for..
TNice tutorials is by far, the best tutorial I have found so far. I feel like I’ll be spending a lot of ti on your channel! Thanks man! Keep up the good
4 months later I’m watching this and know most of it but still hear a few great explanations which makes it easier for me to communicate with clients. Thanks! FR is the best!
A complete no brainer about color grade and stuff who never knew or heard about this stuff much can understand almost all of it from this singular video.....Its so effective ...It feels like it would be so tough to learn about it without this video....its simply a must
I've been watching film riot since I first started my obsession years ago. Love you guys for all you do. Thanks for sticking around. I feel like we're close friends. Love ya!
Thank you so much for this, was about to make a mistake and shoot the rest of my film in RAW, even though everything has been working fine so far. I don't think my desktop will handle RAW very well but was listening to some advice. Shooting again in 3 days, you've saved me a headache 🙌🙏
Okay I FINALLY understand coloring. It was kinda confusing. But the first few minutes of theory really helped me understand the last practical bits! THANKS bearded man! My footage looks incredible now!
FilmRiot does it again, these guys are the best RUclips channel for any Filmmaker. There's always something to learn and they always know how to teach something difficult, the easy way for us to understand.
This was amazing! So much information delivered efficiently. I've done color correction before, but there was a lot of new info here (new to me, at least). Thank you! :)
THANK YOU ❤ I've been locking many tutorials how to make a color correction and everybody comes telling you about gammas and hues and they supose that you already know what are they talking about but you don't have idea at all
This was amazing mate !.. Searching hrs online for all the stuff would take 3-4 days and this video made this possible in less than hour...Thanks you so much...liked, comment and subscribed
only a minute in, but i really apricate how visually appealing this is, interesting and INFORMATIVE. It makes it easier to watch versus other "colour grading videos" that spend 20mins going over multiple steps (very dry). Thanks!
wow this was amazing, thank you so much. I was looking for something to give me the basics but in more than the most surface level way and this was just perfect. I have four pages of notes XD looking forward to diving into the channel and learning more. sometimes the youtube algorithm does send me some gems...
Thanks so much for this in depth guide! Super helpful 💚 even as a professional I love going back and learning the science, theory, and basics to refine my knowledge. Loved all the visual examples, graphics and animations 🙌🏽
I love that Film Riot still teaching basics yet diving deep enough so you always learn something new. Truly a wonderful channel that has aged well
Thanks so much!

I agree ❤️
True. I've always seen people playing with those dials without knowing what they do and i stayed confused. Seeing the thumb and title of this vid i feel like im home
Very educational video.
My head hurts.
Mine too buddy😢
This is lot 🤣
Just took a giant headache pill after this...off to another video
And without you it’s worse
That’s also cause most people who make tutorial vids suck at explaining the tutorials there doing, ironic isn’t it
@@DXSRRR sadly so true
All I need to know is that Africa is orange and that anywhere cold is blue.
It's temperature difference

When i was 14 i was doing nothing really nothing you guys are really very ambitious at very young age.
Keep going
Good luck
When I was 14, I still chewed my playground stick. You are really more mature
when i was 14 i didnt even know what my camera settings were for, keep up that grind 💪
Dang, I started watching filmriot when I was 14, and that's like 12 years ago
The fact that this video is freely available is insane
Yea! It's even more mind blowing if you get to know it actually consists of 1s and 0s. How's that even possible? 😊
Don't get excited, It's a video made by a guy who doesn't fully understand 80% of what he's talking about. While he's dome some work, theres some mis-advice and misleading stuff in here also

Is it still limited to 720p export?
@@cicolas_nage oh yh 100% but for some reason I keep getting detected and Adobe asks me to download the original version, which is unfortunate.
do you drink coffee every day, my student cost for the entire adobe suite is 19 bucks a month :)

Gotcha friend, good news is that the coffee there is plentiful and cheap :)
Im 16 and im studying art and animation but i know for uni i want to study and work in cinematography or editing/composition and this channel is such a big help
Shooooooot, that is what any training should be, short, well paced, informative, interesting and rich. RESPECT SIR!
So much information. My head hurts. But thanks for not making the videos extra long. You get straight to the point and that's why we love you so much.
I used to watch this channel when I was 12 and I was getting into video production. I dropped that hobby for some other interests and now I'm 24 I've picked it up again. I'm astounded by the leap in quality. Well done
same exact story its crazy how long hes been doing this and the infos always been so good
I feel like learning to use scopes is essential for those of us that don't have $30,000 to drop on a color-accurate monitor.
@@cicolas_nage there is no such thing as a perfect monitor
@@cicolas_nage touché
Absolutely loved this. It's so hard to find tutorials for beginners that don't assume you're already super familiar with a program or process

probably the best quick look at color grading i have seen. well done. very helpful.
For how fast this guy speaks I can only imagine the script of this video. Millions of information were given.
Love the fast pace. Great video. Thanks
This is so helpful! I only have an a6000 but I learn so much about how to tweak despite the limitations
This is - by far - the best video about color grading in RUclips. Chapeau!

Thank you. I've been struggling to find videos that explain the overall process like this.
What in particular are you looking to learn?
Such a helpful video! I’ve been editing for over 8 years and still learned quite a bit from this! Keep ‘em coming! 🤠
Do I have to shoot stuff? No

Thanks a lot for this, it certainly helps a lot to get a 101 on CG to get the basic idea of all this stuff. Great video and thanks for sharing this!
Yeah, it's useful with CG to use aces. I just wish blender had that color space built it😂
Thank you for getting to the point and not giving 1 minute of information in a 10 minute format. Great work!
thank you for this! I finally understand how it all works now!
Film Riot continues to make the most intimidating aspects of film-making easier to understand and its all inspiring, keep it up guys you're legends
4 months later I’m watching this and know most of it but still hear a few great explanations which makes it easier for me to communicate with clients. Thanks! FR is the best!
This may be the single most useful video on the internet. Thank you.
One of the best overviews on color correction I've seen
I haven't mentioned this before, but the warm red/orange video background is perfect for this type of video and your skin tone.

Very cool! Good breakdown and well structured and explained. (I had never seen a video about this topic) Tks :)
