You and Darren Mostyn are two of the best channels on this platform teaching colour-grading. Learned more in just ONE video from you than I did watching hours of other youtubers and gear focused guys teaching colour-grading on youtube.
I love how this is straight to point with no rambling or getting sidetracked. I've also never heard someone talk for so long with a pause to say "like" or "um".
I do a lot of creative activities, and I have relied on youtube tutorials to learn them for literally decades (including my career in concept art) You are the single best RUclips educator I have ever come across. The simple, concise, and naturally paced way you explain and edit these is super efficient for learning. I'm grateful for every one of your videos. Do you have a patreon? If not, you should make one, personally, I wouldn't even need extra content, I'd subscribe just to throw some cash your way for the great content and supporting the channel directly
great coffees shared with you for the full explantions you've patiently made for EXPOSURE / RATIO / BALANCE patiently I note, patiently I adopte your node's architecture. Good to rely on a true pro-colorist's advices. thanks Cullen
This may be your most insightful and straightforward video. Definitely the one that made a lot of the concepts you discuss elsewhere finally click for me.
It was nice and educative, as always. Often forgotten about HUE vs HUE and HUE vs SAT curves, regarding color separation. Personally, I use this very often, but see it very little in others.
Great video! If we have the Balance node in Linear (something you have shown in this channel), what knobs can we work with each other to create color separation?
question that could be usefull for others : in parallele node : does it mind using color space HSV or HSL whenever you're focusing on channel 2 (saturation) ? are they same-same ?
I understand that by giving free classes you have to sell something, but it's not really teaching if I swear it must have a lut, which in the end I don't know if it will work on my own shots. The ideal would be to teach how to do it manually, and the lut to sell it as something that facilitates manual work. greetings
If you are teaching and you only use one form, your words are actually useless. maybe it can work, but it teaches for those who don't know and understand the workflow@@cicolas_nage
What is your approach to color separation when you are working with scenes that are cool in the highlights, for example, Scandinavian overcast exteriors or fluorescent lab interiors.
Very helpful, thanks Cullen. However, one question: What about Color-Boost vs. Saturation? I noticed I more often use CB to make colors pop and I wonder why you didn't mention it in this video.
Really glad you asked! I'm doing a dedicated video on this soon, but the short answer is that the stock Saturation knob does the wrong thing to the wrong parts of the image, while Color Boost does the wrong thing to the right parts of the image. Obviously an improvement, but ideally we'd have a tool that does the right thing to the right parts of the image. More to come on this!
Hi I have a problem working in davinci wide gamut in fusion I don't see the images well. What color space do I have to work in to use your Voyager and have no problems with fusion?

i will second that. really is a gem of a channel.

Love to see your consistency with the topic between videos, it gives me more confidence, when I know what will be next in Cullen's style.
Thank you.
Love your videos Cullen, thanks for taking time for showing us how to do things.
It was nice and educative, as always. Often forgotten about HUE vs HUE and HUE vs SAT curves, regarding color separation. Personally, I use this very often, but see it very little in others.
The most striking thing for me was how a two dimensional image suddenly felt three dimensional.
Great video! If we have the Balance node in Linear (something you have shown in this channel), what knobs can we work with each other to create color separation?
Where can I sign up for the Pro colorist school?
Thanks very much....
If I may...
Please what's the specific lut you use from your collection

@@CullenKelly I am waiting patiently :)
We need to up our game grading HDR. Why do you refuse to go there??
Great video THX for inspiration
Love it! Thank u
I have no idea what’s going on but I watched the whole thing
Lol, can definitely relate to that feeling. Bet you picked up a few things along the way even if you didn't realize it
Hi I have a problem working in davinci wide gamut in fusion I don't see the images well. What color space do I have to work in to use your Voyager and have no problems with fusion?
I tried using the HSV method on BRAW footage and it quickly broke apart pixels. Is it typically something that shouldn’t be pushed too far?
You can solve the problem with a Clamp DCTL before the HSV node (like CK 01 Rolloff)
I have the same problem bro with BRAW and Slog3, the image gets pixelated, idk why.
@@TheVDAPou got any resources that explains what a clamp does?
@@Crimbtw it's like a Limiter/Compressor
@@TheVDAP niceee so ig is only exclusive to dctls?
You have to realize that sometimes you think color grading isn’t working, but it’s probably because the footage you’re shooting isn’t working.
Who else just signed up for CCA?!? 🙋🏻♂️
Wish I had the money, enjoy it !
CCA ?
😁
@@ElieDuboiscolorist career accelerator. It’s cullens color grading course
@@Visethelegendthanks. I’m lucky
You videos are very useful, just create more eye catchy thumbnail
