DaVinci Resolve 17 NEW HDR Controls Tutorial

[@NathanCarterVids]

Resolve 17 is here! What's your favorite new feature?

[@NathanCarterVids]

@@TheHeartofuae haha I got straight to work as soon as it came out and started testing/studying.

[@seralegre]

DaVinci wide colour space, working directly on log without touching colour wheels and exporting in 709 or whatever you want.

[@emilycohan]

I think your channel may be my new favorite DR tutorial channel. I hit like as soon as I heard your happy voice. Succinct and informative tutorial. Thank you! :)

[@joyoffilming9500]

Great tutorial, Nathan. Thanks for sharing it.

[@JimRobinson-colors]

All the new features, I believe colorists will appreciate this tool the most. Your explanation on the functionality of it seems to spot on, Nathan. Which is refreshing with such a new update. I just hope that people don't lose the fundamentals of using these tools as they would be designed for. Seems to me that this is more of a fine tuning tool where after the basics are all done, that secondaries would be where this tool would be used. Same with the Color Warp tool. You can go nuts using these tools, but getting a great base in the start is fundamentally a better workflow, especially when you have 1000 clips to do and very little time. Excellent video, this quick out of the gate though. I appreciate the time you are saving me .

[@NathanCarterVids]

No problem Jim. For me I find these exercises helpful too. Helps me get a better understanding of how it works and where I can use it. For the warper, I'm still working out valid tests. I was thinking about an EBU color bar with a vectorscope to see how the hue of neighboring colors is impacted. Would like to hear your thoughts on what else I should try.

[@travislrogers]

Great overview of this feature. Thanks for being so clear and straight to the point. I’ll definitely be revisiting this one!

[@adsmithtx]

Thank you I believe the color page additions are my favorite so far along with the TEXT scroll that will show the fonts

[@NathanCarterVids]

I agree. The preview ability is great. Even with transitions and titles. No more guessing if you have the right one selected.

[@gbdr_ps_fan8656]

Very informative breakdown. Thanks. Would you consider doing a video on a HDR workflow starting from a setup, through a grading to delivery process? That would be cool. Also, splitting it to the HDR-monitored and the SDR-monitored workflow would be awesome. Thanks.

[@NathanCarterVids]

I'd need to dive deeper into it to develop a workflow I can stand behind, but that's a good idea.

[@gbdr_ps_fan8656]

@@NathanCarterVids I'm trying to do it myself, but I'm doing it kind of blindfolded. There are many tuts on KZbin, but everyone approaches that differently and I'm lost at the end.

[@NathanCarterVids]

@@gbdr_ps_fan8656 i get yah. I think a great place to start with new features is the manual, so you can get a clear understanding of the intended workflow and how they work straight from the source.

Thank u so much for this video!

[@EjazKhanPhotography]

Good Morning Nathan, I wanted to ask you if you think the mini panel works well with 17 HDR wheels? And another question is if you are correcting/grading for HDR output would you start correcting in HRD wheels after setting your ranges or start with your primary L G G first then go into HDR wheels. Thanks for your help.

[@RodrigoPolo]

How can I export a Resolve 17 project that uses "DaVinci YRGB Color Managed" as Color science and "DaVinci Wide Gamut" as Resolve color management preset, to make it an HDR KZbin video using AVC/H.264 or HEVC/H265?

[@kimkrohnberle]

Thank you for the tut. Besides the finer controls in the wheels window, is there an argument to use HDR setup and a wide gamut color space when delivering to rec709?

[@danielrheaume904]

Hi Nathan! Thanks for the great video! I am a bit confused on how the HDR wheels are different than just using the curve with bezier anchor points. Any insight on this?

[@NathanCarterVids]

More granularity and overlap as well as tonal saturation control. You could theoretically achieve similar results on curves in most cases, but it's great to have as another option. I find myself using it a bunch to keep clouds under control and get bright areas looking just right by adjust the contrast of specific areas

[@RobbieSkaff]

really helpful video : )

[@NathanCarterVids]

Glad you think so!

[@sage_the_artist]

Im quite new to davinci and i have yet to figure out how to display the primary and curves side by side as you have in this video. Please help me figure this out.

[@NathanCarterVids]

Ahh that's a window sizing issue I believe. When the monitor is too small, resolve does some automatic rearrangements to make everything fit.

[@goddestroyer3416]

Do you have any videos on how to make an hdr video using DaVinci resolve?

[@NathanCarterVids]

I've not actually gotten into that much myself yet. Haven't had any clients requesting HDR yet, but it's something I should learn more about as HDR deliverables are getting more popular

[@nicholaschilcott9966]

Thanks very nice and good made tuttorial, id like to see it on a clip.

[@NathanCarterVids]

Great point. I wanted to get the fundamentals out first, but I'll see what I can do in the future.

[@ErikvanElven]

@@NathanCarterVids Thanks, that was my question also. Really well explained, just now I'm wondering at what point in a workflow you're going to be using them. Will you be using the log-wheels less now these are in Resolve? And another question, is it best now to use the Davinci Wide Gamut for new projects?

[@kronk358]

Great video. You sound like youre from Dakota.

[@NathanCarterVids]

Thanks. Glad you found it helpful. I'm from the East coast of Canada actually.

[@dushyantbhatt9345]

this is basically curves right ? In a was complicated & simplified

[@NathanCarterVids]

Theoretically you could achieve similar effects, however it could get messy on curves, and you also get tonal saturation control

[@dushyantbhatt9345]

@@NathanCarterVids ohh great ,.. thank you so much for the reply !! Big fan ,...

[@2424rocket]

Nice... but I think you left out a very important part. After we widen our color space and do all this adjusting… How do we get back to exporting our clips in a color space that’s workable for everybody?

[@NathanCarterVids]

Great question. So that's done automatically with Resolve Color Management. I cover this process in depth in my latest video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6m2oWx-hK2tY6s

[@drewtlau]

I wish there was an ability to zoom into all curves for finer edits

[@NathanCarterVids]

I agree, they've added more flexibility for the scopes pop out, so I'm hoping that same level of flexibility will come to other areas (like the curves) as well.

[@DoriBoulean]

Is it available for download already?

[@NathanCarterVids]

Yep. Link in the description

[@DoriBoulean]

@@NathanCarterVids it is a beta version, I'm downloading it right now 😁
