How I Color Grade Like The Movies | DaVinci Resolve Tutorial

[@neonoires]

Thank you for this video! I'm a writer but cinematography and color grading have been very interesting to me. This is so helpful.

[@RafalGendarz]

You can also set the exposure and contrast before lut to have (sometimes) better results

[@samwei0]

This is a super helpful color-grading video, Dylan. I appreciate you for making this. You've done an excellent job explaining different node trees and your process of how to color to make your images look super clean and friendly to see. Love it!

[@DylanBatista]

Thank you!! It truly means so much to hear that

[@user-yf6dr4vu9b]

Obsessed with you. Have a Sony a7iv and canon RP. Been a bit scared to film. Got it on the iPad now and feeling ready. This video was exactly what I needed.

[@DylanBatista]

[@TimTrussJr]

Gonna be applying all that you taught in this video. Thank you. my friend!

[@jaymills1720]

Would love a video showing how to get the best SOOC like pp off and in camera adjustments or a-cinetone and in camera adjustments vs phantom LUTs. Daytime. Low light. Etc.

Ayy sick happy to see you back with another video

[@DylanBatista]

Thank you! I really appreciate it

[@draco1822]

if i don’t have pp8 on my sony a6700, what should i use?

[@erkkocak]

Rec709-A trick is great but.. I am using a Mac Mini. So my sytem is IOS however my monitor is not Apple display. It's a rec709 monitor with gamma 2.2. What should I choose in project settings for timeline and output ? Any ideas? I guess timeline should be rec709 gamma 2.2 and output to rec709-A. So I guess what i see on mymonitor will match when I upload to YıuTube. Correct or am I doing something wrong here?

[@eddiesmith8475]

sick dude! Helpful stuff here!

[@TenzDelek]

any tips for the 8bit footage ? am using the a6400

[@thinhtrinh8536]

25 seconds in - subscribed! I want to know this stuff bro

[@boogeygoo]

Very nice video. Can I ask, what color space do you work in?

[@timmark4190]

This way or use Dehancer?

[@itsfarisfakri]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial Dylan! Much appreciated 🙏🏽 I have 2 questions. 1. Will it react differently if you place the Phantom LUT node to the end of the node tree? Any reason why it's on the 3rd node? 2. If I wanna add halation or sharpening nodes, where would it be the best? Thank you in advance!

[@derJulian_]

the phantom lut also does the s-log to rec.709 conversion, so by applying changes on the nodes before, you are basically working on the flat s-log image, not the “final“ exposure/colors I would add halation/sharpening/glow on the very last node

[@itsbriyon]

Dope video and last name

[@cinquecinque]

The grain moves by her own?

[@baaao]

hello! which gamut to buy? I see many products in their site

[@KrisiStark]

Hi, can make a tutorial on a A6600 on how to have the same settings as your camera? *New Subscriber

[@albertocostell4449]

Hello men, thanks for the video¡ Did you let the pp8 by default? You dont change phase, colours, black... Thanks¡

[@windyadiyatna7912]

can you do iphone log with phantom lut + film look creator plz

[@DylanBatista]

Already did in my latest color grading video from a month ago! It's on my channel now

[@dreamhack6923]

the lut isnt available for f-log :(

[@shivanshsharma4916]

please share some of your footage , so that i can play around with it

[@rav_666_]

Sucks that you can't use the Phantom Lut for an A6600 😭

[@bakalol_bhai]

I want raw footages for practice

[@BarnabyClarkeProductions]

do you want me to send you some of mine.

[@BANGBONSCHANNEL]

​@@BarnabyClarkeProductionsyes please.

[@JustWhatINeed83]

Hi Dylan, until recently I used the same Rec709-A work around to fix the output of the video but I don't think this is the proper way to go about structuring your workflow. I've found my output is consistent when I follow the node structure from this video and I think this is a more professional use of the Davinci workflow. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHPUaaWbm89qmcUsi=16UBDcXGc1IxQnkF

[@JflowVisuals]

very good workflow, but 99% of people only show a workflow with LUTs. It's very rare for someone to explain how to achieve a cinematic look just by adjusting the settings and i think create a look from zero is the real color grade.

[@sknemani]

I understand colors are subjective and grading is highly subjective. I find you are crushing a lot of detail into the blacks. If you see the scopes you can see the reds going significantly below 0 in to the blacks. too crushed imo.

[@geodude4real]

so much noise...

[@natepotter6911]

Dude. Tons of noise in almost every shot. If you "expose properly", you won't get so much. Just sayin'.

[@itsaaronmiller]

pretty sure he is adding a good bit of film grain

[@BarnabyClarkeProductions]

@@itsaaronmiller Noise is different to film grain. that is noise. either way not a big deal :)

[@natepotter6911]

@@itsaaronmiller I'm not talking about grain. I'm talking about noise.

[@itsaaronmiller]

his shots look pretty clean to me before adding the film grain in his final color grade

[@gettriggered8404]

tf, video looks clean lol

[@rosemaryfengchannel]

For girls, as beginner it's one of those difficult part for learning

[@gettriggered8404]

Undecided, do i buy the arri phantom luts or the film 🥲

[@DylanBatista]

I recommend going for the arri pack first as those are what I constantly use over the film ones. It's a good base to see what you can create with your footage!

[@gettriggered8404]

@@DylanBatista thank you for replying! hey so i followed your node tree. Is there a way to add halation the “free way” after the last node glow? i currently only have free version of davinci sadly. so im just trying to add halation a bit to my clip.

[@DylanBatista]

@@gettriggered8404 not sure if it's available in the free version but if you see halation under the glow effect in the effects tab that's what you can use but if it doesn't allow it then I don't think there's another way I know of, sorry!

[@gettriggered8404]

I bought the luts, but i have a sony a7iv. is there supposed to be a dropdown list for a7iv slog3? i cant seem to find it

[@DylanBatista]

@@gettriggered8404 the a7siii ones are the same you use for the a7iv
