Don't Mess Up Your Skin Tones! 5 Color Grading Tools For Perfect Skin!

[@andremeier1358]

Top, one of the best tutorials on this subject, explains everything succinctly, greetings from Switzerland

[@hungrybearcub_films]

This is so clutch tbh. I am grasping so much of Davinci Resolve and was actually looking for some advance solutions for skin tones.. now I got it! Thanks buddy!

[@dunnadidit]

Glad I could help!

[@danielruff5693]

Dude it gets weird. It feels like you're working on videos based on my "have to learn" list. Thanks man. Nearly 80% of my Davinci Resolve skills i have, are because of your videos.

[@dunnadidit]

Haha I have many spies whispering all the secrets of my subscribers to me so I know what video to make next.

[@FenzirL]

Such a useful video! Thanks alot Dunna 🙏🏻

[@dunnadidit]

Glad to hear that it was helpful! Cheers!

[@consumertechwarehouse]

Great video. My brown skin always needs some tweaking. Even when I had a Sony with the s-cinetone and noticing the same with my Nikon z8 at h.265 with the standard profile. Some day though, I need to start shooting in log/raw and start getting into the nitty gritty.

[@dunnadidit]

Its a tricky one, the lighting situations and whats around you giving off reflections makes every situation slightly different so no matter what camera or profile you're using, there's always a little work to be done to get the most pleasing skin tones. Hopefully these tools were helpful!

[@ZachToupin]

Great video and I've learned so much in one video! I'm not sure about the difference between a layer node and a power window, these seem quite similar in this instance, no? Why set up an extra layer node when you can simply set up a node, call it SKIN TONE, and do a power window?

[@dunnadidit]

I might have to do a whole video on this one. Layer nodes are definitely very different from power windows. They can often be used together but they are not the same thing. a power window is a mask, it tells the program to only make the changes of that node to the desired area inside (or outside if it is inverted) of the power window. A layer node is a way of combining nodes together, kind of a foreground and background type situation.

The amount of helpful information in this video is crazy. It feels like I paid a professional colourist for an online course and that he managed to fit everything into a 15 minute video. Thank you (:

[@drakegostream]

I can’t believe I was provided with this amazing lesson for free and can apply this learned information in software which is… again free! What a time we live in Thank you!

[@dunnadidit]

Haha! I love this positivity, it's refreshing on the internet lol.

[@alcedo_kf]

@drakegostream - Saying this enough brings in the changes creators would like to see and viewers do not want to see

[@WestCoastGunNut]

Your videos started my color grading journey and convinced me to get davinci, and I’ve just got to say that they’re helping me get better everytime I check your channel out! Thanks for the amazing videos!

[@rashmiranjandash3439]

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!

[@BryceKoebel]

This is the most clear, concise explanation of these tools. I haven't heard anyone explain it so well!

[@dunnadidit]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@sebasfilmedit]

BRO THIS WAS AN AMAZING VIDEO! You have helped me so much man

[@dunnadidit]

Thank you for watching!

[@Ani_Skevi]

Thanks for sharing all these!!! 🙌

[@dunnadidit]

My pleasure! Happy to hear they were useful!

[@ErnestStevenson-bo3nk]

Dude! This is awesome! I've been kind of lost with color grading since moving from Premier Pro to Davinci Resolve. You have shown me so much in this video. Thank you!

[@dunnadidit]

So glad to hear that!

[@TheKidsDaaaaad]

I have to say... I am loving the thumbnails lately... I know how much work goes into it, so just wanted to drop some love for it.

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks dude! This one particularly I've made like 8 versions of because I still don't quite feel happy with it. What a pain in my butt lol.

[@TheKidsDaaaaad]

Lol how dare you!

I think he missed a major, major opportunity here, to put Hulk on the left side and himself on the right side. And i mean the 1990s TV series Hulk, not the modern ones.

[@Ghhrjovi]

Thanks! Great tutorial!

[@shawnLisi]

This is helping so much. There was one scene in my video where the best man was speaking and he skin just looked so flat and of.

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

This was such great, straight-forward tutorial on a complex subject. You were able to keep even the more in-depth concepts simplified, and steer us around some pitfalls when corrected probably one of the most troublesome element of colour grading. Keep it up... maybe I'll bump into you one day out shooting. ~ Salty

[@dunnadidit]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@chrissnyder4439]

One thing to note, if you want to use the qualifier as your preferred method and are working in a flat gamut like DaVinci Wide Gamut, it's easier to qualify skin tones if you do it after your node to convert to Rec.709

[@tls.coaching]

unbelievably usefull video. thank you very much!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks for watching!

[@stehume]

So easy to follow as are all your vids. can i just ask, when you make the power window would you not have to track it ? Just a thought for a future video, making a intro

[@dunnadidit]

You can track it if your subject moves enough. But if they stay still you don’t have to, all depends on the clip.

[@ecellis9651]

I had to pause this video and save it, this such a valuable tool for me to have. I have a form of colorblindness so i get my hues mixed and this video will help me so much in my next edit!! Your 💯 people notice skin tones off on photo/video more then anything and i usually dont see it.

cheers!

[@braindeadfirefly]

Thank you so much for this clear, informative video! ❤ Working on my very first short and I was getting really insecure about the colors, wanting to throw the whole project away.

[@DanielBrown-cc4hw]

This is SOOOOOO good!! thank you for taking the time to help us!

[@DellanaMetalArts]

Great info - exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

[@izzaalwihairstylist]

Thank you very well your explanation is very easy to understand and a very good explanation you are very good

[@JohnGiasi]

This is GREAT video. Very practical and helpful. You quickly mentioned having white or grey (18%?) in the shot? It would be great if you could show how to use that hack for quick fix color in shot and post just in case of white balance slips? 💯

[@dunnadidit]

Cool! I'll keep the white/grey thing in mind for a future video but the long and short of it is that if you have a white or grey area in your video that's supposed to be perfectly white or grey, you can use your scopes to make sure that it's exactly perfect. If you use the rgb waveforms, you just want to line up R,G, and B on that part. Or if you want to go even easier, most editors have a "white balance picker" that will allow you to just click on the white/grey part and it will auto adjust.

[@asalirafik7]

how is this video has only 23k views?? its an excellent very informative and one of the best siimple explainig color grading video!!! the youtube algorethim is not anywhere near good.

Dunna did it... again! Yee yeeeeee🎉🎉🎉❤

[@dunnadidit]

Haha! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@brunovincent1969]

How do you see the 25% to 50% on vector scope?

[@TylersEclectic]

What iPad stand is that??

[@Tonpicknick]

I wish you will make a full workflows edit by davinci resolve again. I guess some of the workflows were changed since your last video. Anyway always love your contents.

[@dunnadidit]

I’ll keep that in mind!

[@CurtisPenne]

It seems when I edit a photo from lightroom to photoshop it removes/ changes the color profile completely. The saving and going back to lightroom it's pretty off. Any recommendations?

[@dunnadidit]

I'm not 100% sure I'm understanding the question but if it is what I think it is. Picture profiles don't apply to raw photos so if you take a photo and you have a PP applied in camera, LR and PS are still going to show you the raw data to edit... not the picture profile. As for the saving and going back to LR, I'm not 100% on what you mean?

[@ignazioghiani3556]

Grazie 😎

[@ramanandh1261]

Please do a marathon grading video! From start to pro! It should be more than 2 hours . Up for a challenge? Dunna did it?

Haha that sounds like a course thats been sitting on the back burner in Dunna Did It land for far too long.

Hahaha a 2 hour video is a big ask 😂

Haha here’s the deal, I’ll keep making free KZbin videos but I might also make a course at some point. But one won’t get in the way of the other!
