DaVinci Resolve 16 Cinematic Color Grading Tutorial in 5 Minutes

[@antonioglow4457]

I haven’t seen much representation for guys like me when it comes to professional video editing until now. Thank you so much! Stay fabulous 🥰

[@ParamariboCloser]

I think i am in the wrong class.... this is “master class”.... way too fast for me. 😂 But I appreciate your work man. 👊🏼

[@neldino1251]

maybe because other tutorials like this are over 10 minutes and he's tryna do it under 5?

[@ParamariboCloser]

@@neldino1251 yes, could be. I hope i catch up soon on some Davinci techniques.

[@chipcolleran_1.618]

I can't wait to go home and try that out! I'm watching this in a parking lot.

Probably the best color correction video ive ever seen

Sidney Baker-Green nah not much, I played with this feature a little bit but I’ve been busy with a lot of other things haven’t had much time to sit down and mess with video editing :/

[@MikaTarkela]

Me too. I can't see any color tab wtf

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Holy shit, thank you so much! This has just made it so quick, super easy and I am finally getting a handle on this colour grading thing. Still not great, I uploaded a hugely blue video today! (but we live and we learn) Thank you!

[@MrInsider33]

"we drag this to this point, connect this point to this one.." ok and why are we doing this? lol

[@sidneybakergreen]

I explained what each node does in the setup and even why you connect them that way right after. Text appears over each node saying what it does and what it's for.

[@davidshuttmedia373]

@@sidneybakergreen I think it's because we don't know why you connect the blue triangles? The tutorials great and it's not a need to know but it would be an interesting thing to find out so we could experiment :) (The tutorial is sick though my new video looks miles better after doing it in resolve instead of premiere so thankyou

[@BaronDeRothschild]

If you expect pin point details in a 7 minute tutorial you are crazy. This is more than enough for an introduction to a more complex process. Even if you have question at least ask in a more respectful way. The guy took time out of his day to make a quick tutorial. A little more respect would be nice.

[@sidneybakergreen]

Any time chase any time! And I try to keep up 😂

[@MinesGaming45]

Amazing job and perfect length video without taking 5 minutes to explain 1 thing. If I need more detail then I go looking for it. That is one thing I've found frustrating about researching color grading is that every video is 20+ minutes long. lol I just want the simple straight to the point and you delivered. Thank you! Earned a new sub for sure.

Best video I found searching for this🔥🔥🔥...keep up you good work

[@cosplay-welt]

Cool! Will try this in my next video! Thanks!

[@mactus]

Great tutorial! A suggestion for the future: Record tutorials with a smaller program window. It is difficult to read the text on the buttons and interface on a 1080p monitor.

[@TheLillianYoung]

This was so helpful to just knock out a color treatment in about 3 minutes. I stopped at the color grade because for my log footage, I just needed to work with exposure and skin tones. Excellent tutorial.

[@arshiaalexander]

Brother thank you very much this was really helpful. One thing that can make these videos easier is click effect so we can keep track of where your mouse clicks. Sometimes it gets super hard to see where the mouse icon is. All the best 🙏🏻❤

[@davillamarte]

wow, You are so charismatic! I am subscribed already! Loved it :) Plus is helping me so much in my color grading too !

[@red120]

Great and was able to get the result, but what does the 2nd box that feeds into the mixer do? We only edited the first box. Thanks!

[@sidneybakergreen]

It’s the layer. The bottom goes on top which is the skin tones

[@MUTABAZISTUDIOS]

[@sidneybakergreen]

Thank you !

[@ramonaaristide1600]

grateful for your video here. I have a question, it's probably very simple but I can't figure it out- when you drag the specific titles like ''exposure', 'skin tones' to the nodes from the extreme left side, where do you find them?

[@sidneybakergreen]

I created those tiles in post-production so that people can understand what was happening in each node

[@Huungng]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Also love your positive vibe. Keep up your fantastic work, man!🙏💪😄

[@smccabe]

I found it a lot to take on board, I think slowing it down would be helpful. I appreciate this is a quick 5 minute overview. It's also hard to see what you're clicking.

[@sidneybakergreen]

I'm change the aspect ratio and a lot of the newer videos! There a little bit longer in a little bit slower so those might be better :-)

[@smccabe]

Sidney Sounds good. I’m a total colour novice! 😂

Hello and congratulations on your work. Can you tell me if Da Vinci Studio 16 or Resolve can work RAF files? (They are the RAW compressed files of Fuji cameras). Or do you know a converter that can convert RAF files to RAW files that Da Vinci can manage? Thank you very much. Hello

[@elzycollins]

Hey Sidney! So what should i do with the skin tones if i'm working with an interracial couple? Should i qualify skin tones twice? Thanks for your help

[@sidneybakergreen]

Yes, and use a key mixer node, and then you can continue the node tree.

[@easonwang3275]

thanks mate ,my problem by following ur instruction is the effect only shows on upper corrector, and its not passing through the layer mixer ,which means the final output doesn’t change at all, any tips would be appreciated

[@rob_giorda]

[@KashTahen]

Hi Sidney, Quick question what you went with correctors? I mean what is the difference between using correctors and parallel nodes?

[@sidneybakergreen]

Corrector nodes is a node for standard corrections. A parallel node is a corrector node but think of it as another layer on top of your correction in Photoshop

[@sidneybakergreen]

I probably should make a video on it but for example if I was to do my skin qualification in a correct or note but then I want to change something else and that node it would mess up my qualification whereas if I use the parallel mode it wouldn't mess up my qualification

[@KashTahen]

@@sidneybakergreen thanks man

[@MarcSchreiberRealtor]

Sidney Baker-Green Awesome video and yes! A short video explaining that type of node to protect skin or any qualification would be great 👍 Thanks

[@iamstonesteel]

Sidney hello. You taught about coloring one still image. How about a full edited video which has so many clips. Please answer. Thanks.

[@sidneybakergreen]

Same techniques apply. There is no hack to edit a full video, each clip is gonna take time, and patience. And it was not a still image, it was a video clip. You should always select a frame you want to grade.

[@samuraichamploo101]

Short and clear tutorials like this are perfect! I learned something useful and don't need to sit for a half hour to do so. And by the way, thank you for using music! It is so hard for me to stay awake through videos where the only audio is the creator's voice as their mouse moves around a screen. Great work!

[@GRINCEMOLFOODCOURT]

great bro !!! you are amazing trainer

[@shadi5885]

Here’s a cool tip! To help reduce some of that noise without using the “denoise” function try increasing your saturation minimum to 0.3~0.6 (play with the values depending on the shot) it’ll help prevent some of that nasty glow you get in some occasions too Edit; don’t know how the alpha pass through for skin tones worked for you without inverting your key. Never works like that for me :(

[@sidneybakergreen]

I use the deboise to get a more natural look when keying out the skin tones. The saturation won't solve the keyed noise unfortunately. At least in my experience. Also, patience.

[@sidneybakergreen]

Wait which saturation feature though? Because I did increase the saturation to. 68 🤔

[@shadi5885]

Ahhh I’m not talking about the basic correction saturation, I’m talking about your second node for the skin tone qualifier. The saturation level of 0.0~0.2 introduces a lot of “un-true” qualified colors due to the saturation requirement being 0 (accept 0 of this color plz davinci) basically it’ll clean up your qualifier tab by simply increasing the minimum threshold requirement in the saturation tab. Luminance doesn’t affect qualifiers as much as saturation does in terms of introducing noise. Hope this made more sense

[@christophechin7011]

super dope bro. thanks

[@RICHARDGALIDO]

Thanks for this tutorial Sidney. I must say, one of the best tutorial for teal and orange color grading. I wonder if you have the one for light brown color grading_?
