How to use the Resolve Color page for NEWBIES - [from a PRO]

[@drewski5k177]

This tutorial changed my life. No fluff, very detailed and patient. I sincerely thank you.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thank you Drewski, glad I could help.

[@DarrenMostyn]

✅ I was asked to make an absolute beginners Color page tutorial. Hope you like it!

[@Grasseatereu]

You nailed it!

[@shishirahmed9201]

loved it 😃

[@williamkinnaird3720]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[@saffloermohaupt]

Soooo useful! Really perfectly explained (for my taste)!

[@Shadow-ki6je]

Was very helpful thanks a lot

[@LarryCarlin]

Your 28 min tutorial took me 3 hours to watch. In the 2nd monitor, I'm practicing each tool on my own footage. You put a lot of effort into making this. Big Thanks.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thank you Larry. Glad you practised along - that’s a good way…really makes it sink in,

[@RobFisherUK]

Thanks. Enthusiastic hobbyist here (the kind of person who edits and would colour grade videos of his kids for fun (if he had more time in the day...)) Generally I'm amazed that these tools are readily available to people like me and I want to play. Anyway this is a good overview of what stuff does. I've played before and got confused, and in future I think I'll spend less time being confused. I think the next step will be understanding what makes a good grade; what different types of look might be desirable, and that sort of thing. Looks like you have videos on that, too. Also I have an OLED HDR TV sitting next to me and I want to see what I can make that do... One step at a time, though.

[@jankowalski1077]

As someone who is only just making first steps in colour grading, this is exactly what I've been looking for in a loooooooooooong time. I love that you explain EVERY part of the process and don't go 'just set this to that, trust me on that'. Amazing

Great to hear! Welcome to the channel. Enjoy!

[@theaterelevenpictures2283]

This was much more than an intro. Loved it. We're transitioning from Avid to Resolve and also taking on grading. This was extremely valuable for our current production! Thanks Darren. Will def check out more of your stuff. As was mentioned, you are very precise. No fluff or rambling. Very respectful of the viewer's time.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thank you so much. Very Kind. Appreciated. Enjoy the rest of the channel and look out for a 'live' very soon!

[@MrAleksandarC]

This is so good. I had one quite poorly shot video and have been stuck at it for a while. With the tips here, I managed to balance out the lows, mids and highs. I had no idea what those words even meant only couple of hours ago. It is a fine art balancing the colours, but at least I am not avoiding the color section.

[@MrCScontents]

you're really detailed and patient towards you're work, big thanks to you for breaking it up in a simpler way

If you're considering requests, some tips on file management would be appreciated: how you work with databases and external/storage drives, how you store and reference your assets particularly WRT sharing then between projects, and how to consolidate and archive, where render and cache files go and how to prevent gigantic bloated hard drives with lots of duplication.

This is the first one that I am not going to watch - but only because you told me not to - lol. This is a really good resource for new users to Resolve. There are lots of competition in this particular area, but I remember starting out - not knowing what was correct information from what was just somebody's weird version of a workflow that they thought was correct. ( Still see a lot of that ). So if you are a new user to Resolve - I have been running forums all over Facebook for thousands of people over the last 6 years and know many Pro colorists and specialists and I am telling you Darren knows his stuff. You are getting quality information here. Do yourself a huge favour and subscribe and let your brain in on all the information to come. Big thumbs up.

[@unknownuser069]

You introduced this by saying it might be a waste of time for more advanced users ... but it is not. Especially if you taught yourself, its is very easy to miss a detail in the interface, or just not to know something's proper name. I learned color grading on Apple Color ... and taught myself Resolve. Even though I have read the manuals and such - things get missed or forgotten. For example ... I did not know I could double click on the name of the adjustments (contrast, temp, etc.) in the primary panel to reset them, so I've been using those on a separate node so I could just reset the node... for years. My point being it is ALWAYS worthwhile to review material - even stuff we already are very familiar with. All the best.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Good to know - yes I am sure there are little nuggets in each one. All the best. Thank you.

[@frankinblackpool]

Hello, I found your channel from Mr Alex. I have to say I have learned more in the last half hour watching this episode than the many youtube channels from exuberantly energetic hosts with high energy voices and moving fast on screen. And then I'm left bumbling around blindly trying to repeat what I saw because I did not know the basics. Its actually very hard to find a channel such as yours, and Mr Alex's, that takes the time to show the basic stuff like how to select and use tools. Most tutorials do loads of magic on the screen where you see power tools pop up everywhere and you don't have a scooby how they achieved that task. I come from Windows environment and it took a while to realise that I could press the mouse wheel to do something. 😀 Even though I am a happy amateur making little episodes for my own pleasure and friend's amusement on KZbin, I do enjoy the process of trying to grade my little projects as best I can while at the same time trying NOT to make them look obviously titillated where I have orange and teal Oompa Loompas on screen. I do have one question which I hope you could help with. I have a Panasonic GH5 and I'm trying to challenge myself and move away from a CineD colour profile to a more flat profile to mess around with in Resolve. may I ask your thought on Hybrid Log Gamma and V Log? I understand that HLG was created by the BBC for live broadcast of High Def and Standard Def TV/monitors. Even tough I only have a standard def monitor and publish to KZbin is HLG a good profile for me to learn and use with my GH5 set to 10bit recording?

[@DarrenMostyn]

Hi and thanks for your kind words. In answer to your question, as a colourist I prefer a log image - I don't mind which you prefer to use (I usually have little say as by the time it gets to me it has usually been shot and edited unless it is one of our in-house productions!). 10 bit over 8 bit is also important! if you can give me 10 bit log (or higher!!!!!), even better! Good luck on your Resolve journey! All the best.

[@frankinblackpool]

@@DarrenMostyn Thanks for getting back to me about using any flavour of log, as long as its log. As of this week, I have made a concerted effort to use HLG, more so because I do not want to give Panasonic any more money. They would not let me transfer the Log upgrade from my dead camera to my new one. 😪 I wish you well with your channel. I've had one for 13 years now, and I ain't going to be leaving my job in the near future with my subs count.

[@DarrenMostyn]

A good reminder of the basics. I always forget about the additional curve options.

[@wolfknittig2647]

Thank you for the introduction 👍 Is there a difference between Shadows and Lift or Highlights and Gain? Looks very simular to me; both scale the colorchannels from the other end of the scale, dont' they? Hm... maybe different in "more advanced" colorspaces?!

[@natwallen5411]

Thanks Darren, this is super helpful. Had to watch it three times. Took notes on the third :) - Is color grading a clip from the media page a thing? As a way to take an entire clip and apply a look to it for then editing in later?

[@DarrenMostyn]

No just helps speed up my workflow using media page but not a requirement.

[@grifftur]

Please do go into input (and output) transforms. I've been working with them for a contract gig but feel a bit aloof as far as what I'm specifically doing when using them. I would love to have a deep dive into this (color spaces in general) and specifically in knowing how to know I've selected the proper input or output transforms. Great tutorials! Love your stuff.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Hi Joseph. Yes, this will be an in-depth in the coming weeks. Not for a while though as next 6 at least are planned. Thanks for your feedback. I can only do 1 a week at most due to my day job as a colourist and running a facility!

[@grifftur]

I run a masterclass once or twice a year. Covers EVERYTHING. Last one was May 24 so not until early next year now.

[@bencebuzek]

Hey Darren, Thank you for your content here, as well. Your tutorials and explanations are really thorough and easy to follow. I have a specific question. I searched on the internet for the answer a while now, and I tried to find it in the DaVinci 17 manual but I think I haven't found my answer yet. So during editing I can create proxy files for a smooth editing which is very useful by the way. And it's also clear that DaVinci automatically reverts to the original clips for the final output at the 'Deliver Page'. Altough when I go to the 'Color Page' I constantly worried that I color grade the low res proxy files, not the high quality original files which have obviously much more information. To avoid color grade the proxys, is it enough to uncheck the 'Use proxy media if available' option up at the playback section? Or do I need to take any other action? I don't wanna overcomplicate this case but I don't wanna ruin my final video either. Thank you for your help in advance.

[@InspiredDailyLifeTravels]
