Here’s my comment. You’re just too good bro. That’s the problem. Too, damn, good. Keep crushing it.

[@theqazman]

Thank you baby bro. 😂 Love you.

[@fairlie1000]

Learn a lot about how to manipulate and create different colors and shades. Thanks Qazi

[@theqazman]

For sure. I gotchu

[@Taran_Bali]

Resolve team should make you their brand ambassador and you should be getting paid by them on top of youtube. This guy is doing things in the resolve that we don't even know resolve had. I have a full studio version and I was still using Premiere lol.

[@theqazman]

Love you back brother. Appreciate the love. Between my business, personal brand, family I don't think I should take on more work 😂

[@cmorellato]

same feeling

[@vXSuperSonic]

Couldn't agree anymore with Taran!!

[@marcelomoran6152]

Waqas Qazi with your tutorials I am going further to the professional point. Thank you for that willingness to teach beginners. Thanks greetings from Ecuador.

[@theqazman]

My pleasure

[@kaktus.studio]

One of the most freaking image on your channel so far! Lens flares especially made the job! Super cool!

[@theqazman]

😂 I agree and yes

[@Kansaifixer]

Love this series. We have been doing education videos for individuals and companies that were unlisted uploads, but recently have started dabbling in doing mini-docos and travel videos for public release; big difference and greater need for a better quality of color grading, right? Found and subscribed to you in 2019 to start learning how to be better, and was thrilled to see this tutorial series start up. Thank you.👏✌

[@theqazman]

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing that. Glad I can help

[@thrumyeyesphoto]

Fantastic work, man! I've learned so much in the past week from you. Hope I can catch you around LA when the smoke clears.

[@theqazman]

Appreciate the love. For sure.

[@josipmatic1912]

Hey Qazi, love your videos. Can You pls do one video about HLG3 pls.? I am beginner at color grading, and I am finding HLG to be easier to grade than S-log from my A7III. I would like to hear your opinion about it.

[@theqazman]

soon

[@pratik8767]

The thing that separates you from the other guys is that you make it so easy. I daily get inspired by your work keep it up.

[@theqazman]

Thanks. Will do brother. Keep pushing.

[@vincelowe6282]

The shortcut for it on mac is Command+Shift+W. Or press the square 4 arrow icon on the scopes :)

[@GregoryBozik]

[@theqazman]

[@pingopallo1]

Hi Qazi, thanks a lot for your work and effort, it really brings me to experiment and gives a lot of inputs on how to work. Is there any chance we could send our versions of the grades you do as screenshots and have some comparison/feedback ? Thanks again!

[@theqazman]

if you're part of my masterclass then yes

[@iamdaniximenes]

If my main camera for the moment is a Sony a6400, what is the best Picture Profile for grading the best I can? S-log 2, S-log3? o HLG? Thanks!

[@theqazman]

HLG if you don't want to mess with colors too much otherwise slog3 is pretty good

[@PavelPavelchuk]

Hey. Thanks for ur content. Why don't you interpret the material through Color Space Transform?

[@theqazman]

there's no such thing. What I mean by that is you don't have to whoever said you must is not a colorist.

[@PavelPavelchuk]

@@theqazman thanks for response. CSP is really helpful and good for getting the maximum out of the camera. Man I heard this from is a professional colorist. I just saw that u getting out of flat picture by increasing contrast, saturation and making exp things.

[@lamartyrell8373]

I’ve watched what you can do with red arri etc I’m waiting to see you grade 4K gh4 footage and make it look so amazing to the point where it looks like it was shot with an arri or red. That would be dope especially because it an 8 bit camera. Keep up the good work. You are very talented blessup. If you need gh4 footage I can get it to you peace

[@theqazman]

You wouldn't be saying that if you had seen my free training I keep mentioning in every video or had purchased my masterclass.

My camera raw icon when I click it is all grayed out. Does that unlock based on clip type? Thanks

Then the clip must not be raw

@@theqazman Aye confirmed with some research of my own too. Even though my camera says it's a "flat file", it isn't raw.
