Get perfect skin tone using this genius weird technique = Davinci Resolve

Watch the newer video to see a more extreme example to see the value in this technique better)Today I go over this unusual technique for accurate skin tones. Combining this utility dctl with color compressor and qualifier is brilliant! (in my opinion)
Let me know what you think
You don't have to use the utility DCTL to do this trick but it is a great guide to get there.

Kudos to you sir for making the tutorial while baked af.

[@JanikBrosFilms]

Thank you hahaha. That’s just all my personality pouring out.

lol, so its a thing to get high af and do color grading?

[@JanikBrosFilms]

@ no i don’t get high in that way. I just sound like it. Lol

[@RidgelineCinema]

I get SO high when I edit lol

[@JanikBrosFilms]

@@RidgelineCinema whatever works for you. Now I just wanna see your tripped out color grades.

[@DanielSmith0131]

0:26 that was the longest pause of my life 😂

[@JanikBrosFilms]

You are correct….i watched it after I posted it and I was like “f&$k me I am an awkward silent piece of sh#t. lol. Apologies for this moment

[@dvlted4405]

For anyone who is having a hard time seeing the color change. Remember he is only changing what was "yellow" or not on the skin tone line. So when he clicks the node on and off you'll see the left side of the face gain some shift in color to more correct tone. He did not change what was already correct, just fixed what wasn't. * I suck at explaining things but I tried.

[@JanikBrosFilms]

You did well at explaining it. lol. It’s the subtle shifts in color that make a difference. Especially if skin looks blotch, red, or just uneven. Thanks for clearing this up a little more.

[@AudioTalks]

Wow! This is brilliant 🙏🏽

[@JanikBrosFilms]

Yeah it’s great. My newer video after this one is a more extreme example because some people couldn’t see the difference in my image.

[@The_Idea_of_Dream_Vision]

this is new. Interesting stuff

[@BenSalvacion]

Kudos bro!

[@j.espinosa]

Awesome video man! Btw, what you use?

[@JanikBrosFilms]

I’m guessing your asking what camera I use. I use the dji ronin 4d. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@simonrabeder1599]

That’s certainly one way to take the life out of your grade. My rule is go with broad strokes and if it’s nit a problem don’t fix it. Getting obsessed with “correct” can really hurt your results.

[@JanikBrosFilms]

Yeah true. It’s more for uneven skin and people with more splotchy/magenta in cheeks. Make up can usually do a lot so you don’t need much.

[@sanilalkuttimon1755]

[@sergiypudich]

Will try on my next YT episode, thanks!

[@JanikBrosFilms]

Can’t wait to check it out! Hope it helps

[@sergiypudich]

@@JanikBrosFilms Man, just purchased DCTL and tried on my recent small commercial - it's insanely cool! Amazing! Thank you again for poping it up to me :)

[@JanikBrosFilms]

@@sergiypudich I’m glad you like it! Yeah all of his dctls are super helpful.

[@danielvilliers612]

I can't see any difference between the before and after around the 4 minutes mark !!!!

[@JanikBrosFilms]

I made a video after this one because it’s a very subtle difference in shift of color. The new video is more exaggerated and a better look at the change.

[@MASAo7]

I'm watching on my phone and I think it's constantly colour correcting which cancels out the change. On my laptop I see it but on my phone (S23U) I don't.

[@shemeerki384]

iam ur 1k subscriber btw

[@JanikBrosFilms]

Thank you!! This just made my day. You’re the best.

[@Jimmy_Maurice]

Nick trick ! I'll definitely try it. Also, the color density of your skin is a bit too much, doesn't feel realistic, but if it's your goal, it's ok.

[@JanikBrosFilms]

Yeah it’s all up to what you are going for whether it’s thick and moody or bright and fun. I’m not a fun guy. lol. But I see what you mean totally.

[@Jimmy_Maurice]

@@JanikBrosFilms Btw, I just discovered your channel, and wanted to say that I loved your color grade!

[@JanikBrosFilms]

@@Jimmy_Maurice I appreciate it. Still got more to learn but it’s getting better every day.

[@hipsterinthetrees6301]

Ayo is that piccolo❤

[@tomaskonvicka4135]

It´s absolute genital technique:) I use color compressor on a daily basis, but when it gets overdone, it looks unnatural. I help it by making the higlights a bit bluer. Just a bit of colour separation.

[@JanikBrosFilms]

I will have to give that a try!

[@musiconsortium]

Can't see the difference before and after on the screen.

[@JanikBrosFilms]

I made another video right after this one because it’s to subtle of a difference. Watch my newest video.

[@pranshuroychowdhury5914]

man everything is just amazing but i'd suggest to make it more spontaneous....it's kinda monotonous. all love, no hate, great work

[@JanikBrosFilms]

I will for sure work on that.

[@yehiashabana4811]

there is no difference in the before and after, i kinda feel like its bullshit, or maybe cause I'm colorblind

[@_leo]

I am colourblind and was laughing at the thought of regular colour vision people seeing some mad difference here. glad you can’t either

[@JanikBrosFilms]

Your skin has subtle shifts in magenta and green and sometimes skin can look blotchy this helps unify it more. Also look at the cheeks for the difference. It is subtle but also KZbin compression sucks. Should have done a more extreme example I guess.

[@JanikBrosFilms]

@@_leo posted another vid with a more clear example.

[@JanikBrosFilms]

Check out my new video if you want a better view of the change it makes to your skin.

[@gasvia]

No difference before and after. Can't tell if this is a joke. Nice skin tones either way.

[@JanikBrosFilms]

It’s no joke. Just use the color compressor on the same node you qualify and pick the rgb value that looks like the best color on your skin if you don’t want to by the utility. The difference on mine was subtle shift but KZbin it might be hard to tell the difference maybe.

[@wjm123]

had my face up to my screen to notice the difference, but ironically the "after" image seemed to have made the skin more green instead of the before one ?

[@VitalieC]

The before and after are not in sync with the voice. Pay attention to some areas, for example on the cheek, closer to the eye, how the yellowish/greenish tint goes more into red. This is hardly noticeable due to KZbin video compression.

[@JanikBrosFilms]

@@VitalieC all of that is correct. Emphasis on my syncing dumbness.

[@JanikBrosFilms]

@@wjm123 yeah correct. I should have done a more extreme example. When I initially put up to edit my skin was almost perfect so I had to tint to do the example but I should have just made it awful for comparison.

[@chelo111]

bro before and after is the same 😑

[@JanikBrosFilms]

Watch the next video. The newest one. There is a change but it’s subtle that’s why I made the next video.

[@EdwardKilner]

Could not finish the video. Could not watch the changing colours on your face while watching the vector scope. Wish you well. Suggest you re-do this with much more care in scripting and after you discuss it with a knowledgeable friend, preferably a teacher. Step by step, some pauses, lots of consideration for a novice viewer and maybe you will do well. You are not alone in making these mistakes.

[@JanikBrosFilms]

I actually made another video after this with a more clear view of the change in skin and hopefully a better education. Apologies for the lacking in this vid. I will work on the pacing for sure. These are probably my favorite comments. Constructive criticism over false praise is always better. Thank you!

[@EdwardKilner]

@@JanikBrosFilms As you might say “Pleasure”. Less can be a whole lot more in creating clarity, which is what your viewers will love.

[@JanikBrosFilms]

@@EdwardKilner I will take that advice. Thank you again.
