Color Grading Simplified: DaVinci Resolve Step-by-Step

[@aaron_wimberley]

Qazi, man you have a gift for teaching this stuff! I've been teaching myself the art of color grading for about two years now, by reading and watching a lot of different KZbinrs. You are by far the biggest wealth of knowledge on KZbin to date for this. The gift you have is not just how you're able to pass on your knowledge with such a fundamental understanding, but the with the passion that inspires others to push their creative limits. Thank you very much for sharing this with all of us. I've watched a lot of your in depth videos, and learned to use so many tools in DR, but I think you're really on to something with this type of tutorial... short, but very impactful with using minimal steps and minimal tools. I'm hoping you can show us more videos like this using all the other different tools that DR has to offer. Looking forward to the next one man!

[@theqazman]

Thank you for the love brother. Will do.

[@theqazman]

Let's go!!! Much love, brother.

[@arthurwoo]

Another great lesson! Still working on keeping it simple. Sometimes feeling like I need to use lots of nodes to feel like I'm doing something to the image, but this is a good reminder of how a few nodes can change so much

💯 brother. Get back to the FCM challenge. 😀

[@FarranLee]

This was so great! Thank you man. I just started video editing last week and now you have given me a good grasp of a colour grading system and methodology, using a tool which I'm extremely new to. And, I should add, I followed along and did the same in DaVinci at the same time. For me, that really cements the lesson from information into memorable and repeatable actions. Your point at the end - about not waiting for something before you start - is something I'm getting into my mental system right now. Really just releasing all the blocks and getting going on whatever it is I want to do! Starting NOW means that I am gaining experience and knowledge and skills immediately. Waiting until tomorrow or tomorrorrow means that I am... not gaining anything. Massive thanks man 🙏😁

[@theqazman]

You're welcome. So happy for you. You're hitting the ground running. Love that. 💪🏾

[@jeffschwisow]

Wow, Qazi! Super simple and fairly subtle tweaks to the footage and yet drastically different looks, moods and vibe.

[@theqazman]

💯 happy you enjoyed.

[@calebwhite681]

Filming my first wedding this October and trying to get some research and practice. Used Premiere in the past with OKAY results but I'm still kinda new. I love that Resolve is free, and I hear it's very powerful, so this video was released at the perfect time for me! Thanks.

[@coloradoelopementvideography]

Super hyped! Is there a way you can put what camera /codec that you’re grading in the description because I’m always super curious to see where the footage comes from given how much you stylize these :) Love the videos dude!

This one is shot with RED Epic. I will 😀💪🏽

You've convinced me to move to DaVinci from Premiere.

[@helionyxcollective]

Ppl actually grade with Premiere? Wtf..

[@theqazman]

Let's go!!!

[@gagegarza]

I personally edit with premiere and color in davinci

[@hagazocapivaril8379]

@@gagegarza how? How is your workflow?

[@gagegarza]

Hagazo Capivaril most of the time it’s a convoluted mess. There are features in premiere and in davinci to where you can export a timeline from one software to another(there are a few tutorials on these you can look at) but that way doesn’t always work the way you want it to. Another way is to edit ur clips in premiere like you normally would, then whatever clips will be in the final cut you can take the original files into davinci, color them, export the highest quality you can, and then drag the colored files into premiere and match them up to your edited sequence.

[@sauddojan8974]

Hey Qazi, just wanted to say thank you for all the amazing content you put out. I love DaVinci Resolve and I swear you make some of the advanced techniques digestible for us beginners. Thanks for all you do!

[@cmsevents]

fantastic stuff Waqas Qazi

[@theqazman]

Thanks

[@wakkowarner8810]

i liked the simple grade workflow; i tend to over complicate things. this showed me how to get good results with simplicity and not a crazy node structure, with a lot of nodes pulling different keys. i need to try something simple the next time i grade because i tend to over complicate things with nr and other ofx gpu intense effects which makes my computer's gpu grind to a halt, now i will try a simple solution like you just showed me so i can get good results with overtaxing my gpu. thanks a million, man.

[@theqazman]

You know it. Stick with this and then add the spice as necessary. 💪🏽

[@luisacosta4393]

Amazing video. I get out of the military in a couple of months, and I’m thinking about starting a KZbin channel and make videos with my huskies sledding. I want to make my style of videos “moody” and since I’m new to this whole thing, this video helped a lot and opened my eyes to a side of filming I never knew existed. I thought the only key to making videos was film, edit, and maybe a filter. But I have fallen in love with color grading and I’m planning on learning as much as I can about it to help my videos look better and feel more of an experience.

[@theqazman]

That's so awesome. Excited for you brother.
