Color grading in DaVinci Resolve 18 for beginners (HSL Curves)

[@HitechProductions]

Finally, a tutorial that quickly and simply tells me what the "curves" do. Thank you!

[@colorgradinginsights]

You're welcome!

[@irvdonaldson4137]

Wow, finally - you cleared this up for me in such an illustrated manner. Thanks for your explanation and method of conveying the topic. Brilliant!

[@madfamilyproductions]

This is the first time I understood what Hue vs Hue, Sat vs Lum etc is for. Thank you so much 🙏

[@colorgradinginsights]

You're very welcome!

[@JB_inks]

I've been playing around with colour in Resolve for a couple of weeks now and you showed me half a dozen things I didn't know before so thank you

[@colorgradinginsights]

Great to hear! I’ve just released my Course! Please check it out!

[@ProjectHelisexuality]

I'm still relatively new to Resolve, but jumped right into Fusion and learned a lot of it. Colour tab still intimidates me with all those wheels and dials though, so this should help.

[@Kemstylebossy]

Just coming across your channel and i must saying I’ve never seen a channel that explains things soo good i learnt so much

[@colorgradinginsights]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@WholeOrganicMilk]

This was a great tutorial! I’m new to color grading and had no idea what curves were and this was exactly what I needed. Thanks!

[@colorgradinginsights]

So happy to hear it! You can learn some great things from my course: colorgradinginsights.thinkific.com/courses/masteringcolorgrading

[@SahabuddinTanrkulu]

It's nice to see you again.

[@colorgradinginsights]

Hey, thanks

[@samt9097]

Thank you so much. In the past the only thing I knew was the Color Boost if I wanted more color!

[@colorgradinginsights]

Happy to help! Check out my course: colorgradinginsights.thinkific.com/pages/master-color-grading-davinci-resolve it’s really worth it!

[@colorgradinginsights]

Thank you so much! I hope you will also be interested in my Color Grading Course:colorgradinginsights.thinkific.com/courses/masteringcolorgrading

[@TimetoTalkwithYevgen]

Thank you for explaining HSL. However, as a beginner I mostly try to improve 8-bit clips. I am wondering what would be your opinion on 8-bit and 10-bit. Is it really makes sense to try to color correct 8-bit? Or the camera settings is just enough

[@colorgradinginsights]

Yes, of course! You can always color correct any footage - but maybe it doesn’t need much as as you’re saying - good exposure is the key! I’ll make a tutorial covering covering 8bit footage soon!

[@marc.ristau]

This was pretty awesome. Coming from FCPX, it’s great that it’s just straight, simple to follow facts with no runtime padding

[@colorgradinginsights]

Thanks so much!

[@pixellegolas]

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask but I shoot in raw. That means I guess that my clips are ready for anything in davinci. But it seems that we cannot just randomly download LUTs from internet and apply. We need to know what profile those LUTs are, right? So if I convert to rec709 in project, I should not apply a LUT made for LogC or Cineon or something else? Or am I missing this? If you could tackle that it would be awesome :) By the way, as stated from others, your tone of voice and speed and detailed explanation of WHY we choose some things is 5/5

[@colorgradinginsights]

Hello Patrick! Firs of all, thank you so much for visiting my channel and watching my videos. Yes, everything you say it’s correct. DaVinci resolve on built LUTs are mostly designed for cineon Film log color space and before applying any lut, you always need to convert your clip to a specific color space LUTs are designed for. Have a look at my other videos when I am explaining how to color grade raw or how to apply kits correctly - I hope it’ll help! And feel free to message me if you have any more questions.

[@KarelZweefvlieger]

Som many waysto get results.... Learned a new one today!

[@PeacefulMoments1844]

Thank you for teaching us. Love your teaching method. Is it possible for you to make a tutorial with Canon R5 footage?

[@colorgradinginsights]

I will try!

[@NICONIXDESIGN]

Yo, cool for me XD, that will be useful😁😁😁😁... Let me know, i noticed that from the 18 version there is no way to got the 3 panels at the sale time (wheels, curves, scopes ...) even when we reset the UI... Do you know a way? or we're sentenced to get 2 panels ? 😒😒...

[@protokolunrecgnise]

Please try something with slog3 for us

[@FeberMarapaki12-ot5ok]

This tutorial is for davinci resolve free or Davinci resolve studio?

[@PaulVnl]

Nice one Kasia! How was Avatar? :)

[@AjushiPhotography]

Love Your Videos! Video Suggestion - For Canon CLOG 2 & 3, from the C70 for instance, the blues always look off no matter which picture profile is used, can you please show how to properly grade Canon Log 2 footage to Rec 709-A while at the same time adjusting the scene so the Blues look correct? Just curious the workflow a pro colorist would use?

[@colorgradinginsights]

Can you provide a footage?

[@AjushiPhotography]

@@colorgradinginsights - sure - how do I get you the footage? Do you prefer a color chart in the scene?

[@difficbeoversambalao]

Sir, there are several way to tweak some colors as you need to create the balanced footage, just make sure you do the color balancing before the rec709 conversion node. My suggestion, you could use the above technique HSL curve or color warper tool

[@stevenpitts376]

Thank you 😊 really helped 😊

[@colorgradinginsights]

You're welcome!

[@SnehithPamarathi]

[@SnehithPamarathi]

@@colorgradinginsights looking forward 🙂

[@cezar_visual_artist]

Of course the footage looks awsome, its shot on a Red... maybe some of us shoot on a Gh5 with. Natural picture style...how would we go about grading that?

[@colorgradinginsights]

Do you have a clip for the tutorial?

[@cezar_visual_artist]

@@colorgradinginsights uhmmm... actually i do a bunch of them..from weddings.

Hello beauty girl, Nice to meet u ! :D

[@colorgradinginsights]

Hey! I hope you’ll take my course: colorgradinginsights.thinkific.com/pages/master-color-grading-davinci-resolve

[@WhateverProduction4]

Yeah, lets create a beginner tutorial that makes the viewer go find ANOTHER beginner tutorial just to create the primary and secondary nodes you started off with?!?! Beginners most likely don't know how to create the correct nodes either, just saying. You lose any viewer the moment you jump past a step. EDIT: Just looked it up, why most tutorials leave that quick little piece of info out, and literally just skip over it is beyond me and makes absolutely no sense at all. "In this beginner tutorial where you probably no nothing, otherwise it wouldn't be called a 'beginner' tutorial, I'm going to skip right past the first few steps and hope you can still follow along! Even though it would literally take me 2 seconds to mention that, during the actual step." 🤦‍♂

[@colorgradinginsights]

Thanks for your honest comment but also, I do consider my subscribers who have been watching my videos for a while and who already know how to do it. Have a great day.
