Can we please get a different video other then color management? Really need one on how to conform..Like how you and clients pass footage back and forth. Example of their prep of project or clips they need to do and exporting them out. And then what we need to do on our end. Then best way to send back to them etc..This type of video would be super helpful..Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great stuff as always Cullen! For those who have issues with colors from Fusion/Resolve graphics in RCM, here's a workaround I've managed to cobble together. Essentially, Fusion works in Linear color and doesn't properly communicate with RCM. To fix this in the Fusion tab, set-up two Color Space Transform nodes before the final output. In the first CST, set your input color and gamma to match your project. In my case, that's Rec.709, Gamma 2.4. Output color and gamma need to be DaVinci Wide Gamut/DaVinci Intermediate (assuming you're using those as your timeline color space in RCM). Tone mapping can be set to either DaVinci or Luminance mapping, but make sure your Custom Max. Output is set to whatever your project is set to. Resolve defaults to either HDR 1000 or HDR 4000, so match whatever is there. Lastly, turn on Apply Inverse OOTF. That should be it for the first CST. For the second CST (the one that comes before the final output), set the output gamma to Linear. That's it. This *should* fix colors and white levels for graphics. Don't ask me why any of that works, but I've found it fixes most of my issues. If you do fading for white graphics inside of the Fusion tab, you may need to add an Alpha Divide node somewhere between the text/graphic node and the CSTs. To simplify things, you can group both of those nodes and export them as a macro or setting and drag and drop them in the future. Alternatively, you can avoid all of this by using a node-based system like Cullen with CSTs, but whenever I've tried this I get inconsistent results with colors in my renders.

Understandable that the colorist shouldn't concern themselves with the speed ramping, and that a flattened XML is best practice for ingest. In my experience, if edits such as time remapping, scale changes, time warp, etc., do somehow make it into the XML Davinci doesn't just interpret the changes incorrectly, it's oftentimes that the media will not show. Have you experienced this as well? Thanks for the validation, I just waitlisted for the accelerator!

@@caseyandtim I'm thinking about making a video on this topic someday. Essentially there are two steps: 1. Linearize the image - here, you convert the image from log to scene linear. If you're lucky, your camera manufacturer will have provided this transfer function in a PDF somewhere on the internet (like Arri). Otherwise, you basically have to fit the parameters yourself, which I wrote a program to do if you have taken a bracketed set of exposures. 2. Identify the color gamut - once your image of the color chart is in scene linear and you have some sort of reference image (say, in DaVinci Wide Gamut) of your color chart that tells you what code values you want each patch to be, you can identify a 3x3 matrix that can be applied to your linearized image to match it to the reference one. I again have written a program to do this but it's essentially a classic least-squares problem. 3. Integrate steps 1 and 2 into your workflow by converting to linear, multiplying by your selected 3x3 matrix, apply gamut compression (if necessary) and then apply the necessary log curve to transform from linear to DaVinci Intermediate or whatever your working gamma is. You can write up all the chosen parameters from steps 1 and 2 in a DCTL and that's basically it

@@caseyandtim So long as the camera shoots in a Log profile, 9 times out of 10 it should fit into my pipeline reasonably well. Not sure if that camera does some sort of internal HDR or how exactly they've processed that, so depending on how that's implemented it may or may not be possible to color manage it. Basically I'd need you to shoot a color chart with many different exposure values (say, one or two stop increments -4 stops to +4 stops) without moving the camera and at a fixed ISO/WB so the images are aligned, and to shoot those in a log profile.

Well missed another one live. I can do 9:00 am and still be able to think properly - 6:00 am I would need a week of getting up earlier and earlier, to be close to normal brain activity and retain your great information. My question would have been the CST the color space "Adaption" slider. I generally don't touch that, but it appears to function as some kind exposure level slider. Not sure exactly what it's doing under the hood. But generally, I can raise or lower exposure there for things that appear to be a few stops under or a few stops over. But usually I have opted out of using it, and just pre- expose before the transform on a node on the actual clip. Seems to me to be a Resolve trap that people might use when looking at one clip but setting up the CST for the whole group, and then setting up exposure to neutralize that wrong setting that was set on the pre-group. Would have liked to hear your thoughts on that one.

Excellent. A lot of incredibly useful tips and pointers here. For reasons only related to my own projects, I work extensively with groups. In a RCM environment, is there any practical or technical reason to place a DWG-capable LUT- such as your Elements LUTs- at the Timeline level instead of the Group Post-Clip? Obviously the same LUT would need to be applied to each group using Post-Clip- so there's a workflow convenience issue- but I was curious if there's any behavioral or pipeline problems on top of that.

Hey Cullen, firstly, LOVED the live workshop you did, gained lots from that (and all your other videos). I have a question, hope you don't mind me posting here; I have a monitor that can show the DCI-P3 color space, but does not have a preset for REC709. In this case, how would I set up my colour management nodes when outputting for online/broadcast. Is the best option to grade with the monitor in DCI-P3 but with broadcast safe selected, and then do exactly the same node inputs/outputs? (and maybe just check it in sRGB after to see how it looks) Cheers!

@thatcherfreeman Жыл бұрын
The answer to your question is basically no, the tone curve and gamut are not fundamentally connected in any way for scene referred intermediate color spaces. Really, your working color space could be almost any combination of gamut and tone curve (though picking small color spaces is typically a poor choice). That being said, by mix-and-matching it will be impossible to find any LUTs that would be compatible with your workflow, and you may have some disagreements if you have collaborators on your project (say, VFX people who want to deliver in ACEScg) because your pipeline is nonstandard.
