Cinematic Color Grading Done Easy

[@mattih]

Enjoy the launch sale guys!!! We don't do sales often so take advantage now 🙌🏻

[@CiprianTrip]

PRO TIP: If you want to use just the color shift from a LUT in DaVinci (so without the contrast and saturation), simply create two paralel nodes, apply the LUT to the second node, and change the composite mode to Color.

[@thabangramodipa]

This is an amazing trick thank you

[@UnbleachedMuslin]

Interesting!! What happens if you only apply to one serial node? Is parallel required? @@thabangramodipa

[@jayesh_15]

Isn't this a My LUT is better than your LUT video rather than don't use LUT video? 😅

[@DarrellaaS]

This is more like a “Don’t use a LUT. Use two of my LUTs and here’s a little advice about how to tweak my LUTs with colour grading tools.” But that’s not going to fit in the title.

[@Menosfilms]

😂😂😂😂

[@mattih]

Hahah no it’s a don’t use A lut use 2 😂

[@jayesh_15]

😂 How about an inception of LUTs 😂

[@alecmerey]

Love how you said don't use luts then spent the entire video selling your luts

[@stevenkralovec]

The title is “Don’t use A [single] lut”; and his point is “use TWO” (a conversion Lut separate from a look Lut). So technically I don’t think he contradicted himself. It’s like saying, “Don’t have a good day; have a GREAT day.” 🤷‍♂️😂

[@777ElZorro]

Clicked off so fast as soon as I saw he was being fake just to sell his own LUTs lol

[@ncMatthan]

Matti, this isn’t a color grading tutorial. I love your new product, but I also felt click-baited. Really would love you to do a color grading tutorial for real some time.

[@josephdelvin7771]

This video couldn't have came out at a better time. THANK YOU!

[@kaspergaram]

I've never been a fan of LUTs. So often they just don't work for your footage, but they are sold to us as a perfect solution

[@yusufcaglar]

Bro is back with another tutorial 😎

[@mattih]

Ohhhh heck yea 🙌🏻 lots more to come

[@JwadeProductions7]

In resolve you can just use color space transform to get it to rec709. And then on the node you put the lut you can change the composite mode to color and get rid of the contrast and brightness issues.

[@Joshua-McField]

Was literally searching for someone to say this. Because honestly this is a great video but like you said you can just separate the color from the contrast by just switching the composite mode to color

[@JwadeProductions7]

@@Joshua-McField Yupp and then you can still turn down the matte if you want too.

[@mike_s_media]

A lot of new users don't know these simple things though and we're then left with a "Don't use LUTs" video...

[@ariafpv]

how do you change the composite mode of a single node? Or do I have to put the grade on an adjusment layer?

[@JoeyDunn]

@@ariafpvjust right click

[@stepheneckert4006]

Good stuff! This is why I still prefer using standard photo presets in Lightroom with slider adjustments versus presets that only include profile adjustments and zero everything else out. With profiles, you can only overall adjust the image just like using a Lut. With sliders, you can go in there and refine what you want to change. A much better way IMO.

[@gangs0846]

Can you make a lut of this video settings for iphone 15 pro (max) ? Looks great

[@Danny-mt3bo]

DON’T USE LUTS aka DON’T BUY OTHER PEOPLE’S LUTS, BUY MY LUT

[@joan_costa]

And...Date Modified...2021!!

[@heartshapedfilms]

When you thought you were going to get some grading advice but its just a youtuber selling you his own stuff.

[@AxTechs]

The issue you say at the start doesn't persist if you use a cst for the colour space you are in through to rec 709 (or preferably another intermediate colour space) then create a cst after that from rec 709 to the colour space the LUT is in, then create a compound node with the LUT and CST which you can adjust the intensity of without diminishing the contrast level as you bypass the rec 709 transform that way luts are powerful, most movies and TV shows use them as a base after creating an initial look, almost everything you see at the high end when it comes to music videos use a Kodak 2383 lut at the end of the chain

[@JamalsGarage]

Yo Matti, can you make a video on audio settings for Resolve. I used to use the low tone vocal enhancer in premiere which was amazing for vlogging clips, and I'm having some trouble mimicking the effect in Resolve. Thanks!

[@CreativeRyan]

Great minds think alike 🖤 separating the contrast from colors, layering LUTs is here!

[@sitebstudios]

Thanks for this, Matti; funny, I've been doing this for years, haha. Using a base LUT and then a creative LUT. Thanks!

[@jn-xw3cq]

Why didn't you mention use the color transform module in Da Vinci before using a lut with a stylized look? I always use the color space transform in my second or third node (first node or two is for basic adjustments) to turn my log footage into rec.709 and then I use a lut on top of that in a node following that color space transform node. Then I can dial in the level/key output gain from there to my final look.

[@Brandon_Cash]

I can attest to these LUTs for Sony, so good and love having the conversion and looks separate! Thanks Matti!

[@BoReynolds]

Putting it out there FOR US? Thank you Matti! Soooooo generous!

[@ca.5009]

3 seconds in I was like “I just bought your luts🙂”

[@karanlyd]

Keeep going Matti!

[@mattih]

Thanks man 🙌🏻

[@saucy_21]

Funny enough I bought these lut/conversions last night and graded my first slog3 clips 🙌

[@mattih]

Heck yea 🙌🏻

[@worldlightchaser]

Love the look of your Retro Graphics...reminds me of my early days in video production...

[@MochaFrap]

I bought all the Sony LUTS last year. Love em’ all 🔥🔥🔥

[@justadddirt]

Did I hear in another video you use slog3 conversion LUTs for apple log ?

[@johannaoksanen2747]

I need this matti magic✨

[@ryanzspaulding]

This video felt kinda weird, it’s promoted as being a helpful tutorial but just a back and forth do and don’t to sell a new product. Kind of added no value unless you specifically buy your thing you’re selling

[@alexshotthese]

So you're color grading in Resolve yet you kind of bashed it awhile ago and gave reasons not to switch to it....DAFAQ?

[@jeath]

Doesnt look great when monitoring on my new ninja…maybe because it is directly SLOG3 to the lut ? And no conversion between ? Do you have advice maybe ? I think its impossible to put 2 luts right ? 😅

[@kirick4484]

Can you show how to use these in premier pro? please :)

[@karasaundo]

Will V-LOG be coming out aswell?

[@Flaremax]

4:52 You did Mr McKinnon bad. 😂 Sony 1 - Cannon all zeorz

[@WiR3D169]

This is such a smart way to grade!

[@scottievee7467]

WOW. I really really like these LUTs. I shot a clip in Canon 709 (I love this codec) Clog2 and Clog3. They are incredible. Great looks!! All of them look great but my favorite is the Cool Vide. Thank You!!

[@Hi.Chriis]

Are this Luts usable for Iphone created content too ?

[@lucaphilfranze6922]

Matti the audio seems really funky. Maybe some error while exporting? The sound is clipping like crazy.

[@Lessons4Life]

Sounds fine to me

[@llamaSHORTS1]

Me too, maybe a reconnect/restart is needed on your side?

[@mattih]

I think it’s you sorry 😊

Sounds good

@@mattihjust listened to it on my studio monitors. Yeah, my iPhone was bugging I guess. Great video!

[@GrantMFletcher]

My first time ever using a LUT was with your Canon LUT pack: I think I was scared it LUTs would always look over the top. But your workflow made it EASY 🙏🙌🏻

[@KwadLife]

Matti: DONT USE LUTS! - selling me LUTs 😂❤

[@fauland_photography]

Great Approach to "getting your look" ! ... But instead of saying "for the other cameras - I am sorry" you guys should think about expanding your portfolio (X-H2s Flog2 support would be the next one, oki doki ?) ....

A version for fuji will be released?

But how to expose?

There gonna be an Arri lut pack in the future?🤔

Not using CSTs in DaVinci Resolve...ok smh...

Yep that’s basically the same except ours are a bit different in looks! But unfortunately other programs don’t have cst’s

lol I love how you're promoting selling LUTS on a video about why you shouldn't use LUTS

[@GiulioLavenuta]

Hey I'm curious what FPV drone/setup do you use now? Can you make a video about it! I'm looking into getting it for my videos and I want to hear your opinion

[@Ultrarmx]

Is this only for DaVinci?

[@terrygriffin5201]

Do you use a professional color grade monitor ?

[@lieutenantwah]

Hey with lumafusion it’s ok ?

[@marcomillette4012]

creators needs to make their own Luts in my opinion instead of buying other creators Luts and fixing then in the end. Still a great Video I like watching Matti especially at his cottage that's so motoviting !!!

[@samirdesigner3324]

right must all time make any Lut color for any Video because some videos not same

[@martykauffman]

Hey, can you let me know when you have a sale on those shorts because 70 bucks is a little too much for me

[@Sander--ky8kf]

What's the difference of letting the camera output rec709 neutral vs shooting log and then applying the xlog to rec709 LUT? Isn't the whole point that you want have all the dynamic range in post so you can decide how to grade it instead of going to the default anyway?

[@VisitGuyana]

So you have this for davinci too?

[@mattih]

Luts work for all programs 🙌🏻

[@aaronlevinfilms]

Maati's Sony Luts were the first luts I bought when I was first getting started as a video creator a couple years ago. I've since purchased and tried many other LUTs since then, including some from "high end" expensive LUT makers/sites. I have to say I keep coming back to these. There's something special about them - a depth that is lacking in a lot of LUTs I've come across. They also just seem to "work" with a lot of different footage. A big punch in a small package. My only complaint is I wish there were more packs! Thanks Maati!!

[@joemarklin]

How much longer before AI takes care of all of this? Even lighting? At what point is there no longer craft in cinematography? These are the questions I think about

[@Moisesgardunorivera]

Would you recommend these luts for indoor gym shooting?

[@ExtendedFamily]

Do these work in resolve?

[@Richard_Lutz]

Question. Why a CST over other forms of color management like Resolve Color Managament or ACES?

[@JoeyDunn]

CST you get to have greater control. RCM you are letting the computer decide your pipeline. ACES is fine, just less popular.

[@costaricadestinationweddings]

Dont use Luts, but you can buy it here 😅

[@juanbatallar]

What is the difference between using a LUT to convert to REC 709 and using CST?

[@JoeyDunn]

A CST is transforming your color space. You typically want to do that to get into a wider color space. A LUT is usually at then end of your color pipeline and just shifts values.

[@stevenkralovec]

@@JoeyDunnbut also CSTs are typically used for transforming log to rec709 (which is a smaller color space but more standard for delivery, for those who don’t know). And in this process it also usually goes toward the end of the color pipeline for best control… though it’s not a hard and fast rule, I don’t think. There’s a couple different methods in davinci resolve depending on if you are working in a color managed timeline or not. If not, putting it at the end gives more control.
