Color Grade Lumix VLOG in DaVinci Resolve

[@norefilms]

If you are working in Davinci Wide Gamut / Davinci Intermediate as timeline colour space, you need a CST at the beginning of your node tree to take the footage from Vlog to Davinci wide gamut, then grade, and another CST at the end of the node tree to take it from Davinci Wide Gamut to Rec 709 Gamma 2.4 as deliverable.

[@jbbantz5432]

Would footage not be renderable if u don't do this

[@norefilms]

@@jbbantz5432 you can render anything you want. In fact, if you export for youtube you need to cst at the end and export as rec 709A instead of gamma 2.4 as g2.4 will give you a file that is 1:2:1, rec709A will give you 1:1:1 which is what youtube wants.

[@KatZak.]

But if you are using a conversion-lut, it doesn't apply right?

[@Nocturnal_Mind]

I was about to say the same thing. This video is missing a big portion of true color grading. You need two CST in your color grading. Sure can you do the method in the video but you're losing out on full color grading colors spectrum available.

[@jbbantz5432]

@@Nocturnal_Mind why do you need two cst

I follow your steps and my video looks amaizing I'll share the link once I upload it Thank you a LOT

[@heartpen600]

[@owlbaobao]

[@MatthewDangyou]

Glad it did!

Same here, 6 years user of PP, pretty fussed with software stability and errors, just working with ProRes files out my iphone 15 pro is a headache in PP. Looking forward to buy a perpetual license in the coming months for Davinci Resolve 19 Studio

[@TrollMeister_]

You do realize that when you are doing a CST, internally Resolve is still applying a LUT. The S5 to Rec709 LUT. Whether you do it manually or let Resolve do it for you in a transformation you will get the exact same result.

[@MatthewDangyou]

Yep👍🏻

[@sacredmurals]

Great video! Simple, but fundamental, clear, with very thorough explanations. Gratitude and admiration to the author!! Thanks!!! :)

[@MatthewDangyou]

Thanks I try me best🥹

[@janstuller8929]

Thank you, very helpful video.😊

[@tomiadedeji]

Can you use a color space transform and a conversion lut together?

[@MatthewDangyou]

No my conversion luts are designed to be used as the rec709 CST

[@Shalin.S.Shah.]

Is the "Dangyou" LUTS that you are adding on top of CST or Phantom are V-Log to Rec.709 or Rec.709 to Rec.709 since the color transform has already taken place with previous LUT?

[@MatthewDangyou]

Depends I renamed the luts so if you are looking at my store I have vlog luts that are designed to be used as a rec709 with a look baked in. Then i have added look luts that you just add directly onto the luts themself after the rec709

[@UrdazFilms]

Love the video!!! how do you find yourself exposing vlog on the s5iix? , I find myself overexposing 1 to 2 stops for better results.

[@MatthewDangyou]

Yeah I expose +1 for exposure and I also use false colors too a lot

[@alanchong7590]

I am trying out phantom luts neutral but it makes my video reddish. How do i go about tweaking it?

[@MatthewDangyou]

Go to hue vs hue and hue vs sat curves. Select / pick the color red in the image and bring the red down or up with these two curves for red

[@alanchong7590]

Will try it thank you so much!!

[@moojoo1972]

Which Lumix camera (s5, S5II, s5IIX) did you use to capture these 4K VLog clips?

[@MatthewDangyou]

S5iix

[@moojoo1972]

@@MatthewDangyou Yes. I just brought one too. Which lens did you used for the beautiful female model?

[@MatthewDangyou]

[@czsfilmm]

what lens did you use to film that woman

[@MatthewDangyou]

24-70 f2.8 from lumix

[@maks3173]

was your footage 10bit/.mov? when i import my video files, davinci shows them as audio only.

[@MatthewDangyou]

hmmm thats strange. Try this link payhip.com/b/kTEbC I just tested the videos and they downloaded just fine. They are 10 bit but with no audio

[@artem.loktionov]

6:37 someone notice the difference?

[@kristinacagy]

beatifull now that i want to start i have 3 times more confusion than ever, hahhhaahahah, maybe i like things simple

[@MatthewDangyou]

Haha sometimes just two luts is all you need

[@Samsantha]

for some reason in DaVinci, when I try to lower the key output on the 30% lut it turns down the opacity for the entire image. But it didn't used to do this, so I'm confused to why it's happening now. Do you have any idea of what that could be?

[@MatthewDangyou]

not gonna lie, not a clue! I would be curious if you updated Davinci recently

[@Samsantha]

@@MatthewDangyou I did actually! On my old project though it still worked? But on one I just made it wouldn’t work

[@MatthewDangyou]

could be a potential update bug would be my first guess@@Samsantha

[@tutorialsvlogs8149]

you are not using cst as a end node for export ???

[@MatthewDangyou]

I use CST in the middle right after all my color grades aka color corrections. Then everything after that node is to develop a look

[@tutorialsvlogs8149]

@@MatthewDangyou so you wont use output cst
