[@ChristopherChaconYT]

You guys are the best!!!! 🙌🏽🔥

[@vladislavvl.12]

Thank you, I have watched more than 50 videos on that topic for my project, but only after this video I got my colors, and workflow right!

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

Man, I love hearing that!! Thanks so much for watching 🙌🏽🔥

[@corynichols5608]

Crazy with it Chris the goat fr 🐐

[@Guiiigzz]

Great video! I think what would be interesting would be to tell people what are your color management for your prject settings when doing this, it's really confusing for people

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

Hi there! That is totally valid, I’ll make sure to include that in my next video. For this one though, my timeline color space was Rec. 709 Gamma 2.4 and Color Science was Davinci YRGB 🙏🏽🔥

[@Guiiigzz]

@@ChristopherChaconYT thanks for answering mate! You don’t use custom processing mode to work in davinci WG? I’m trying to use davinci WG/intermediate in the input dehancer profiles to have the better signal to work with Quite confusing for me these times 😂

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

@Guiiigzz honestly, confusing even for me! I’ll try to dive into it and get more familiar!

Great video. I have question - you have stuning graded video in intro section. Running guys in front of trees, and ladies crossing bridge with surf decks. Do you have lesson how to achieve those gradings? I filming a lot of nature videos for myself and trying to achieve such level of richness of green color - but never able to achieve it :(

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

Hi Stephan! Thanks so much for watching and commenting, I appreciate it a lot! I got you, I will start working on a new color grading video just for you! 🙏🔥 I'll do it without using dehancer and focus on achieving the rich greens you like, anything else you'd like to know?

[@stephan_clarkson]

​@@ChristopherChaconYT Hello, Christopher! Thank you for reply! Personally for myself I like 3 of them - down by priorities: 1) interesting ladies crossing bridge with deck - because there is several big objects (trees, lake, bridge, people, sky) and all those objects are in different color range and very rich/saturated in good way 2) Guy running in front of trees 3) also very beautiful grading - ladies on a stadium (I guess at the beginning of intro). 4) I also like grading in movies such as: Billet Train (modern cinematic) - very interesting; as well as it would be interesting to understand technic how picture from modern camera can be graded into something we see in Grand Budapest/Asteroid City/The French Dispatch. I found some videos which improve green forest for example, but in most cases it destroying sky and or lake for example and in general full picture becoming dark. On your first two examples above - picture is rich and you haven't lost the brightness so it still looks natural which I like. Thank you very much!

Hi, great video and learning moment for me. My question, clipping indication works only when exposure is changed in dehancer and not in the exposure node?

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

The clipping indication works with both. So if you make adjustments on the exposure node, you will see it highlighted red when toggled on, so you will know it's for sure clipping the highlights. :)

[@keeswaque]

This is amazing. Thank you for helping me ;-)

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

You are so welcome! 🙌🏽

[@jbe1official]

The only thing that confuses me and i haven't found an answer to till now is; if you want to white balance outside dehancer, do you do it before working in the dehancer node or after? Thanks in advance!

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

Hey JB, I like to do my "White Balance" adjustments before the "Dehancer" node, think of it this way, the earlier on the grade you do it, the cleaner and more accurate the adjustment will be. Sort of like how RAW footage works, you do the adjustment on the clip first, and then get to color grading, hope that helps!!

[@jbe1official]

Absolutely helpful! Thank you very much, Chris!

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

@@jbe1official Of course!! Let me know of any other questions you may have, I would love to help wherever I can 🔥

What was your project setting color management?

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

Timeline color space was Rec. 709 Gamma 2.4 and Color Science was Davinci YRGB 🙏🏽🔥

[@brenjithazarika7083]

can you please share your power grade

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

This specific powergrade has Dehancer on it, I will make a video next where I can show how to make this from scratch and include the powergrade in the description 🙏🏽

[@coin777]

Nice video, but you managed to make that sm7b sound very cheap.

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

Haha you’re probably hearing the parts of the video that were not recorded with the sm7b but rather a lavalier microphone! I had to record this with mixed audio sources and try to match them. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏽🔥

[@thefrenchexpedition]

dehancer just completely destroys my image. not sure why

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

Hey! Thanks for watching!! & that’s odd, do you know which processing mode you keep it at? At the end of all the tabs in the plugin, youu can switch between “Normal - Fast” and “High - Slow” and what is your timeline resolution & footage resolution?

[@halfgraincinematography]

Sorry but in my opinion the final image neither looks good nor close to the reference. Way too much saturation, skin is way too bright, overall missing the analog feel..

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

Thanks for the feedback! Color grading is definitely subjective, and while I understand this look may not align with the reference one to one, I felt it suited the overall vibe I was going for. It’s also worth noting that factors like set design, wardrobe, and lighting all influence the final image. I appreciate your input!

[@MD-xj2dt]

Bro, the grading on this video looks really terrible.

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

Hey, thanks for your feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
