Really appreciate you sharing this. Just moving over from Premiere and loving Davinci so far.

[@MrBrown123]

Hello Theo! Great stuff as always. Such a great idea! I would love more tutorials dedicated to interesting ways of using the color space transforms! Thank you!

[@zakkbeaty8352]

Keep these up! You're one of the few guys offering in-depth Resolve tutorials. This is stuff of gold.

Pro tip: watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.

[@jasearturo9181]

@Romeo Marley Yup, I have been using flixzone} for since november myself :D

[@shiroumxm2052]

[@turkubode]

This technique is impressive it looks super cool on water drops like rain etc.

[@KilianKunz]

Thanks for sharing

[@asmru6982]

Thanks for the great video! In Davinci 16 the splitter combiner node has been done away with...how would you do the advanced sharpening in this case?

[@crossfithammerschmiede]

Wow! This is a step too far for me at the moment, but the result is great. I'm looking forward to being able to instinctively know which tool to use. Thanks.

[@elianmusic7452]

This is great. And you have a great personality :) Thanks for the help ❤️🍀

[@ILoveDrawing]

Loved your vids

[@rodrigodicastro1474]

Thank you for so good information!! Cheers!! :)

[@mikerjandl]

Super cool. Would you do this before or after you've done your grade?

[@pierrefpv]

Very helpful!

[@IT-TechExpert]

I have a video that has text on the back round and I like to read, is there a way to sharpen that ?

[@DanielJohnFPV]

Why do you need the splitter node at all? I did the contrast pop on just a single node, and it seemed to have the same results

[@Yizoozername]

Thanks!

[@joshuamaboea1834]

Popping by in 2022 to say thanks for posting this. So helpful! 😅 Just wondering, could the window we use to mask the effect be animated to cover a moving subject? And could that be done automagically instead of per frame/keyframe?

[@camakhil3612]

Thank you 🙏🙏

[@wouterbmx072]

Has this changed in resolve 17? Because the image does get "wonky" now when I change the color space to lab in the first node. It apparently doesn't only change the controls anymore?

[@drewh79]

Good vid, would vid again

[@blainemarcano]

Subscribing mainly because I wanna be able to understand this someday.

[@EDDIEGARAGE]

how to get to the point at when the tutorial starts ??

[@dipender_parkour]

I am very curious to know that How you or other people who make tutorials Learn this Advance Technics ? 🙏

[@Miesnermedia]

Hey Dipender! The ideas come from all over the place and mostly doing deep dives in the more technical aspects of coloring ie: how raw processing actually works, different color spaces, etc... For this one I was reading about color spaces and trying to figure out the benefits of using more "exotic" transforms. I loaded up the lab space and saw some things that I thought were interesting, then tried to figure out some neat things to do with those things that caught my eye. tldr: learn something new, play around with it until you come up with something interesting, tell people it's an "advanced technique" on youtube ;) -Theo

@@Miesnermedia I agree! You are awesome

[@zocker1600]

I cannot import 3440x1440 video into davinci resolve, it says "Media Offline", what can I do?

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

The free version of davinci is very limited to what video codecs it works with. For instance the GH5 4k 8 bit works fine in the free version but not the 4k 10 bit. Same file type but slightly different codec. You can fix this by using another program to convert your video file to something Resolve likes more, like DNxHR, pro res, or cineform.

If you're lazy find Hook's Luma Sharpen Powergrade. Drag and drop... then dial to taste.
