Live saver, i was fearing having to color grade my first wedding video and your tips here helped me understand the tools in davinci so much better, thank you!
Damn prolly one of the best damn tutorials Ive ever seen. This helped me alot. Please do more cinematic color grading trust me with these type of tutorials ur channel will grow! I just got sony a7iv and I want my videos to look this damn good
Thank you! I plan on doing more videos like this for sure! I'm currently doing a video series for editing faster, which will include color grading for sure!
I agree with Shane! Keep up the good work! you'll have tons of followers in no time! Also if you could post the ungraded footage so we can Color Grade it along with you that would be amazing! Also at 4:15 could you go over how to select multiple points in the color warper at the same time? please and thank you
No particular reason really. I just chose what looked best on my monitor at the time. I've signed change how in grade this way too! I may upload more videos in the future about it.
Hey, great video! How about when you have full wedding edit with 100 shots. Setup color space transform for each of the clip is a bit overkill. Would you prefer to use Resolve color management and automaticly setup the slog3 convert to all clips? I'm new to Resolve and I'm starting with new wedding project, and I'm bit confused with those automatic color management setup. Not sure how to start properly :D
ok I think I just find a answer for me on your channel. The video The DaVinci Resolve Color Grading Feature That NO ONE Is Talking About... is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much! :)
Is the tracking feature only in the studio version? I have the free version of davinci. How would you go about doing the same background grade without using that feature?
Great question! This specific feature is just available in the studio version. However in the free version, you can create a power window and trace around your subject creating a mask manually. The result isn't as easy or precise, but it'll get the job done. Similar rules apply with tracking forward and backward. Let me know if that helps!
@@filmwithlenon Of course! Yeah from what I can tell the best way to do it is use multiple color space transform nodes. The first to get into the resolve color space, then from there to whatever you're exporting to (like REC709)
I'm sorry to hear that! Yeah, this step by step guide will only work well with 10bit Sony slog3 footage. 8vwbnwver actually worked with BMR before, although I know lots of people swear by it.
This is precious tutorial.. many thanks 🙏😇 Just one question to gain more knowledge.. do you prefer to put CST on the first node rather than last node? I saw other doing oposite, or it is doesnt matter.. :)
Not sure what's best TBH, but I see nodes as layers from left to right. So anything that you feel should go onto a separate layer should probably go on a new node. That's just me though!
There is a huge difference between putting CST at the beginning or the end. Try the same node tree with the CST at the end and you will get a completely different result. You want to have as much information as possible before converting to rec709.

Brilliant 👏👏👏
I learnt more and more from this so thank you so much 😍😍❤❤
Good to hear!
Really loved your tutorial!!
Thanks! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Thanks a lot. You did a great job
Thanks for the feedback!
Shooting with the fx3 do you lose quality or slog3 capability if you shoot with a slog 3 conversion lut baked into the footage?
Great question! I typically wouldn't recommend baking in a LUT. You may not loose overall quality, but you'll limit your options in post.
Great post! question: why 709 2.6?
No particular reason really. I just chose what looked best on my monitor at the time. I've signed change how in grade this way too! I may upload more videos in the future about it.
It would be useful to see how did you set up the color page in the project settings.
I'm working on a full, detailed course I plan on releasing soon! Stay tuned 👀
nice tutorial but for theNikon Z9 it wil be totally different i think in the setup page.
Yes you'll want to make sure you have the right input color profile for sure! I'm not sure what that would be for Nikon.

Sounds great! Thanks for commenting and watching! I plan on updating that video soon too because I've refined the process even more.

Hey man remenber if u manage exposure left side of the color space transform u will not get linear exposure u will get display exposure thats all ☺️
Thanks for the tip!
Good Job
Thanks!
love the content . ill love to edit your videos and make them more engaging
Thanks!
Have you already made a video that included a lut workflow?
I haven't! I don't work with a lot of LUTs. I personally prefer using CST then just create a look according to the project.
@@donovankean oh alright thanks for responding! I appreciate it! I’ll try this workflow since im new to davinci resolve 🤜🏽

I did the same but for blackmagic with bm imput insteald of slog and it looks terrbile, extremly washed

It’s a great tutorial, but it’s only for Sony users. Again, the video is great. Keep up the nice work.
Fun fact, you can apply this method to any camera log footage! Just change the input Gammut and color space!
Good video
Thank you!
