This is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen explaining color space… Cullen Kelly makes amazing tutorials but they’re over complicated and he rambles on and on and on about the philosophy instead of getting to the point. Which is perfectly OK when you’re in the mood for that. But this tutorial is succinct, gets right to the point, it is easy to understand. Great great job! I’m sending a link to this tutorial to every editor I know. Except the sad pathetic ones that are still working in premiere pro. Lol. That was half a joke.

[@team2films]

Hahah! Thanks so much. What a nice compliment. Yeah, we make an effort to keep the videos as concise as possible so you can get back to editing and grading as quickly as possible. And Cullen Kelly does make amazing videos too, love his explanations, always accurate and balanced. Appreciate you sharing the video with other editors, thank-you so much.

[@manuelfigueroa894]

Very good and easy to understand. Thank you. Just subscribe!

[@LonwaboMfundisi]

🤣🤣 i love it. Am both PP and DR editor.

[@Forstmourne200]

I have never commented on a RUclips video in my entire life. This is my first, simply because I cannot tell you how confusing it has been for me as someone who is aspiring to give their lives to the colorist role and having the hardest time understanding color management! NOBODY has explained color management to me to better than you have! i would have paid for this information instantly! you have literally changed my life in this video! like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! THANK YOU!

[@team2films]

Heya! We're so glad you enjoyed the video. We've got more content coming, and we're working on some full-length courses too. If you have ideas for videos, you're welcome to put suggestions in the comments.
Thanks once again for your kind words. Great to have you here.

[@actornickjameson]

Great video. Clearly concisely, economically and articulately presented, functional graphics rather than whiz-bang effects, and best of all, no jump cuts! Covers what most RUclips colorists would take two or three videos to outline. Subscribed.

[@team2films]

Ah thanks. What an awesome compliment, much appreciated. Especially about it being concisely and economically presented. Trying to simplify something without compromising the information can take effort sometimes. Great to have you here. Welcome.

[@phanatiksent]

Thanks for this video guide. All info was well said and explained. I shoot on a bmpcc 6k pro and doing more editing in DR lately from Final Cut Pro X. I needed more of this info about everything you spoke to. I feel the project CM is the way for me vs node based. I sometimes shoot or add a different camera in the mix and need to balance them to each other. Thank you and any other tips for a 6K pro workflow please advise 🙏🏾🙏🏾 New sub💪🏾

[@team2films]

I failed to mention, a big thanks to Daria Fissoun for her invaluable input on this video and for spotting my mistakes! Any video that she is in is gold, and definitely worth watching.

[@TerenceKearns]

She's great. I learned Davinci Resolve from her version 12 goat tutorials.

[@ElMeach]

Big thanks to her. I have taken various live streams with her but I am always rushing on other things and I fail to grasp everything

[@kevinbillington9773]

Daria is great.

[@halosoundandvision924]

Team2Films has become my absolute favourite Davinci channel! You guys are awesome. The best tutorials out there. No rambling and rubbish...straight to the point and explained with all ability levels considered. Thank you! And my word, you know your topic!!! Keep them coming please. Thank you

[@team2films]

Thank you so much. What an awesome compliment. Glad you like our straight to the point approach. It’s great to have you here, more content is on the way.

[@palmerstonpictures]

I love this Channel. Straight to the point, concise and thorough without random cutaways or insert shots and those agonizing intro montages

[@team2films]

Thank-you! We appreciate you saying that, we try to be as efficient as we can.

[@TechTrainTracks]

Absolutely the best concise Color Management explanation.I've seen. Watched and read many explanations and have gotten confused by those advocating Node base CST methodology vs Resolve Color Managed (RCM). Now I fully understand why I have found RCM>DaVinci Intermediate Wide>Rec 709 2.4 a reliable repeatable result. This trainng also taught me how to provide HDR deliverables. Thank YOU so very much!

[@team2films]

You are welcome. We're so glad it was clear and concise. Great to have you here.

[@danjeyowtub]

Quality. Just wow.
