If you’re on a Mac, no matter what monitor you’re using, if you’re grading in the GUI and not using an external video card, you can set your output colorspace to Rec.709-A and in Resolve preferences check the box for “use Mac display profile for viewers”, and then what you see will match your export.

Glad it helped! Unfortunately if they don’t specify on their site or in the LUT file, there’s no specific way of knowing. Usually LUTs are made for Rec.709 colorspace, so you can typically count on that. There are programs you can buy that show you the curves present in the LUT so you can make a more informed decision, but for a casual user it’s not usually worth the cost. The best way would be to just play around with it.

If you guys want to actually teach color grading, do it with footage from low budget filmmakers. This grading with 70k camera footage is getting old. I know it helps to make all of you look better but anyone that has that kind of equipment most likely isn't grading themselves. Canon, Sony, BM.

Plenty of youtubers do this and I'm unsure as to why. Maybe they're trying to flex their high tech gear? But I feel that most of us are probably using rec709 so I feel that grading with rec709 stock footage would be a better option for KZbinrs to use as examples to assist the common user.

I totally understand where you’re coming from. Part of the reason is because many colorists need footage they can legally use and Artgrid is a great resource for that (like this video). For me, my channel is partly targeted specifically for colorists who’s clients do shoot with higher end cameras. I can’t speak for others, but for me, it’s very much not a flex, it’s just the footage that I’m used to working with. It’s also oftentimes much easier to demonstrate a concept with higher quality footage. That being said, I will definitely keep this in mind for future videos to make it even more helpful.

I wish there was a simple matrix out there that said when you should grade, and where to apply your LUT depending on what kind of LUT it is.

Your confusion is definitely justified, but unfortunately there is no definitive answer. There are technical reasons to place different adjustments before or after another adjustment, but there are countless factors influencing those decisions (both creative and technical).

Can I set my first CST node from Slog to DWG and my second CST node before the Film LUT node to DWG to Rec 709A Cineon log? What do you think? Meaning the adjustments between these two will be in DWG color space. Thanks in advance !
@EvanSchneider4 ай бұрын
You’d be introducing a colorspace “bottleneck” into your pipeline, pretty much negating the benefit of working in DWG at a timeline level. You’re better off color managing on a node level. But my best advice is to test multiple workflows, grab stills of each and compare which results you like the best.

@EvanSchneider16 күн бұрын
The fine tuned control is the result of using the offset wheel in a scene-referred node before the conversion to Rec.709. The tools respond differently based on what your color management is. You’re probably experiencing more responsive adjustments because you’re using it in Rec.709 or on Rec.709 footage. If you find the tools to be too sensitive, you can always set the node to something like .5 intensity to help.

@EvanSchneider Жыл бұрын
The decoding from the camera raw is completely up to you and what works best. The most important part of this workflow is to feed the proper colorspace and gamma into the FPE LUT, which would be Rec.709 colorspace and Cineon Film Log gamma. So if I understand your workflow correctly, this is what I would recommend your node structure to be. 1. Decode CineDNG to P3-D60/Linear 2. P3-D60/Linear to Arri/LogC3 3. Primary corrections/offset 4. Arri/LogC3 to Rec.709 Cineon Film Log 5. FPE LUT 6. Secondary corrections/small tweaks
