Color Grading in DaVinci Resolve 18? DO THIS FIRST! | Easy Color Management Tutorial

[@Dimexi_78]

I heard from some video that you should use rec.709A with mac? There was a issue that in rendering the colors go back to poop if it is not rec709A.

[@JorisHermans]

Never had that issue 🤔 do you remember what video?

[@JorisHermans]

Ah! I think I understand. Some Mac apps do display rec709 videos very dark. But this is only when watching on a Mac. I've noticed that too but once uploaded to YT it looks fine. So no problem for me. But I'm gonna try rec709a next time! 🙏🏻💥

[@Dimexi_78]

@@JorisHermans kzbin.info/www/bejne/maitnGSIfb5khqs this one. It probably has something to do with the fact that resolve uses QuickTime engine and when exporting to e.g. KZbin, it has to have some tags along with it.

[@JorisHermans]

I'll pin your comment 'cause it's very interesting information 🙏🏻💥💯

[@waynehazle]

I am on a Mac. I just started using Resolve 2 days ago. I have footage for a trailer I have cut together. I am going to color grade today. Thank you 😊

[@amgadhussein8575]

As a new KZbinr, using Davinci resolve 18, I find this video really useful and I would definitely recommend this video to other small creators. This is one of the most useful and informative videos I’ve ever seen in a long time. ❤️

[@capturedbytymel]

Thanks for sharing. I’ve been using this workflow for a long time and has saved me so much time. A few things to add, you can save that workflow so every time you open a new project, davinci wide color gamete will be ready. Also regarding nodes, a simple 4 node setup will help you add the final touches for color correction. First node balance, 2nd temp and saturation, 3rd contrast and 4th levels. Boom. Now you’re grading like a pro

[@WeHaveIssuesPodcast]

People like you make the internet worth it. Thank you for being awesome

[@Cinedon]

How do you save the workflow?

[@dot5816]

would you mind explaining what the point of nodes is?

[@ericdavidwallace]

Thank you for the help. I just downloaded DaVinci Resolve for the first time today and was very confused. I usually use FCP but just shot a music video with the Red V-Raptor XL and I can't edit in FCP. Now I'm learning a whole new program. Boo! But thank you!

Again its you and thank you for the video :)

[@Scriptshepherd]

I second using Rec 709-A for Mac. When I output with any other color space on my mac, the colors in QT/KZbin don't match my editing timeline.

[@danburgess3193]

Great video, Thanks! Unfortunately when I go to select all clips, to change colour space to Rec709 (6:29) the option for 'input colour space' isn't there 👀 Please help?!

[@RelayComputer]

Thanks for this clear and to the point explanation. I'm not using "professional" cameras for my needs but just and iPhone with the MoviePro app that allows me to manually adjust "temperature" and "tint" as well as exposure, if I chose to do so. However I don't know what's the proper "input color space" for smartphones or particularly iPhones ?

That was actualy very good video for me... So my monitors are asus proArt and i did change color space to rec709 but what about other settings like saturation, hue, color temp. etc on monitor?

[@JorisHermans]

Ideally you should calibrate your monitor using a calibration device.

[@MegaJoniee]

@@JorisHermans actualy monitors are calibrated and they come with certificate to proove that

[@giusepperandazzo7782]

Hi thanks, I realy appreciate it ... Please, can you tell me if this works with the dji mini 3 pro profiles (Normal and D-cinelike) ... can I do the same procedure? If it works where can I find these profiles to install them to Dacinci Resolve?

[@sdda35]

Is there a way (or shortcut) to enable or disable ONLY ONE section on a Color node in the color tab? Not the whole node like CTRL+D, i need to enable or disable just one section, lets say a "before and after" for only the primaries. I don't want to break up every color edit to million Nodes for a reason, is there a way you think? Thank you.

[@JorisHermans]

You can just click on a node to enable and disable it. Edit: not sure if you can click just anywhere. I always click on the number.

[@medo-houseofmedicine3963]

How do you find the color space for your device? I’m currently using an iPhone 11 and use filmic pro with logv2..?

[@abdulahm6268]

thanks sir, i understand how to setup davinci resolve simple coloring , so i need more about simple color grading sir without node hehehehe

[@amyevelenpollock]

If you use these Davinci Colour managed settings and are using a Mac. What are the best settings to export in? With any exports using these settings, I am finding all the colours are being compressed or washed out?

This was incredibly helpful and straight forward and actually works really well. I actually followed what you said to a T and it actually looked pretty good, only I was using it on footage of a game my father recorded for his channel rather than footage recorded with a camera. My main question is, is there a better way to do it or can this method be used with a few more tweaks? I'm fairly new to Davinci and I'm kinda stumbling my way around to figure things out but any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

two questions and let me know if you have these in other tutorials ... in one clip, can I make multiple volume adjustments.

How do I do that?

[@danb4093]

Bedankt Joris! Werkte al op die manier, behalve voor je laatste opmerking over aanpassing scherm: bij de instellingen  op mijn MacBook Pro 21 (M1) vind ik niet meteen een Rec709 voor aanpassing display, wel een optie "HDTV Video (BT709-BT1886). Ben niet technisch genoeg aangelegd om dit allemaal te weten ☺️. By the way: werk nog met laatste update van DVR 17, is de betaversie DVR 18 al stabiel genoeg ondertussen?

[@pauljacobus1066]

I have been working with various video editors for years now, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Avid, and others and I still can't figure out why they NEVER work the way they do in the videos I see on You Tube. I appreciate your efforts, but my DaVinci Resolve 18.5 Studio Version does not look quite like yours. As a result, I can't do the things you're doing. This is very frustrating.

When doing it manually with CST on node tree I can add a noise reduction as a first node. When using Davinci Color Managed, how do you put a noise reduction before the transformation?

well NR is a real pain in the ass in davinci I personally dont use it any more and am using the neat video plugin imo worth the price. but still dont expect miracles it still will slowdown your system but not as bad as the one build in davinci

[@JorisHermans]

Don't apply NR until at the very end. And then you can also judge more accurately if your video really needs NR cause a bit of grain looks fine. At least in my opinion. Or, another option is to just disable the NR node while your color grading. All that being said, I've never used NR in my life for video. 😎
