Understanding how to correctly set color management up in DVR is THE MOST important part of color grading. And if more youtubers thought about the color process for their videos there would be an overall boon of cinematically color graded videos all over youtube, because most of them now don't look all that spectacular despite the equipment they shoot on.

I think you are over estimating the quality of footage I am working with. What color space does a webcam use?

I really need this kind tutorial. Thank you. I'm really bad with colours. One time I edit a video it turned out worse instead of making it better

Is it possible to do some very basic color grading "by the numbers", that is mostly by looking at the various scopes available? The reason I ask is that I'm red-green color blind so some things that are obvious to others are almost invisible to me, especially many skin tones. I've done a bunch of photo editing in Photoshop over the years and can usually manage to avoid messing things up too much by using the histogram and looking at the RGB values in various spots that seem likely to need work, but it seems that with video there are quite a few more controls and metrics that can come in to play so I've not managed to identify the ones that tend to more important for most basic stuff. I'm not interested in cinematic stuff, just basic color correction of things like home videos in different lighting situations. Or is there just no hope for me?

Yes you can refer to your scopes if you can't visualise/identify the vector of orange. For basic color correction, it shouldn't be a problem. For this, you can enable the skin tone line on your vector scope. To identify your skin vector, add a node, create a power window that would take a part of the skin and enable the highlight mode so you only have the skin vector appearing on the vectorscope. You can then grab your color warper, place your cursor on the window in the viewer (that is still on highlight mode) to identify where the skin is sitting in the color warper (you will have a little indicator appearing on the color warper), grab the desired vector on the color warper and move it for your orange vector in the vectorscope match your skin tone line. Once match, you can remove the highlight mode and the power window and you should have a good skin tone. Hope it helps ! :)

This is great, but what if you are shooting on something that doesn't have pure log, like cinelike.

@frenchiecolorgrading 2 ай бұрын

You can map it as Rec709(scene), Cinedlike is a grayish Rec709 and not a true log unfortunately.

You can get a manufacturer's LUT for cinelike which will function essentially the same way as a cst...

I found the level of understanding you need to follow pretty difficult. First it started with CST, which is pretty basic, then it switched to confusing project settings, to wild guessing of the LOG footage, over to basicly leaving shot colors as is and not to clip highlights or crush shadows, messing around with a lot of sliders a noob wouldn't understand, and then telling grass is green and sky is blue... I feel like, there was no red string to follow, so it keeps and requires a constant level of knowledge. For me, I'm not new to the color game, and I pretty much understand everything and even questioned why not going further in some cases, for instance cst. The time used to explain the cst within project settings, what I don't do and wouldn't even consider, could have been used to shortly explain color spaces, and why you would want to use TWO cst, one in the very first node, going from your log footage to davinci color space, where you have more room to edit, and then the second cst going from davinci color space into watchable rec 709.
