How NOT to Balance Highlights and Shadows | Davinci Resolve

[@videolad3057]

This guy is the most mysterious KZbinr. He'll appear every 6 months, drop the best color grading tutorial on the internet, then disappear for another 6 months.

[@louishwu]

So what youre saying is he's about 5 months overdue. Agreed.

[@SomogyiCosmin]

Still waiting him to show up

[@johndshotsShorts]

hahahahhah yeah you re right

[@thealleine]

damn I was thinking this exactly, I've been looking for so many channels information he just explained me amazingly.

[@sandrinob5378]

where are you ??????

[@shorerocks]

There are some very good youtubers out there explaining color grading and general Resolve usage. But honestly, these are the best. If I have to guess: He is secretly working as a voice over artist. I mean, he just makes you listen. A rare gift.

[@DanielAx]

This is the best colour grading content on KZbin. Thank you!

[@DavidAnthonyFlores]

Period!

[@ConnerJones]

Came here to say the same thing. Kudos, Avery! I'm learning so much. Much appreciated!

[@Emilsteixner]

I think so too. Except sometimes the audio has echos. Great content!

[@visionextra742]

Can you do color grading For my Music Video ?

[@TubeSilva]

I watch a lot of color grading tutorials and I have to say that no one comes close to the way you explain the science and the process of color correcting/grading. Your tutorials are very concise and effective! Please don't stop posting, keep up the good work!

[@kimkrohnberle]

Coming back to this after 93 additional tutorials, this is a fundamentally important tut.

[@juanpablomartinez4140]

The video copilot for color grading... makes a new tutorials every 6 months, but every single video is an absolute gem

[@torreymerritt]

I would pay a good amount of money if you ever put out any deep dive courses. Best content on KZbin. Thanks so much for every video.

[@GuenniKurti]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! I'm seeing people do this all the time and I had no idea how bad it was until this video. I hope you'll come back to KZbin soon to give us some more tutorials, they're honestly the best color grading tutorials on this site and I feel like there's much people can still learn from you.

[@FranJMartin]

One of the best Color grading Channel. Thank U so much Avery for explain everything so well

[@seriouswithdaysoff]

I've been desaturating the shadows because it worked and I honestly didn't think it made too much of a difference with my videos but there was one video I had that just wouldn't look right and this fixed it. Thank you!

[@aberzvideo2285]

Your channel provides some of the best color grading tutorial Ive ever watched. Please keep up good work.

[@simonfil2]

I would love to see a full video about using the log wheels. I think I get how they work, I'm just not sure what the best way to use them is. Great video as usual!

[@arilotringer]

Hands down, after watching a ton of videos for many days to be able to understand grading better for a project I'm getting into, this 5 min video has been the most concise, to the point, best explanation of how to balance colors in a shot! Thanks a lot! Subbing right now.

[@fjkdlas904]

These are literally the greatest color grading tutorials I’ve ever seen

[@alexeykosorukov112]

Nice! i'm happy you started posting more content! By far the best resolve coloring videos/tips on KZbin man, thank you.

[@averypeck]

Thank you!

[@nickandhelmi]

Agreed

[@mrnessss]

This is pure gold! I stumbled across channel and watched 2 of your tutorials back to back. They are easily 2 of the best colour tutorials I've seen. That's a pretty promising start.

[@Loqu4]

Where have you been man, your grading tutorials are the best! We need you even more now with influx of new blackmagic users and BRAW. What I dont see a lot is grading Highkey beauty shots that make the skin glow and smooth.

[@erictozzi112]

Fantastic tutorial! Essential information with no extra banter or rabbit trails. Keep up the great work!

[@peperclipsfilms]

So much great info in a short, concise video. Thanks a lot!

[@TommyMartin]

This has to be the best grading channel on the internet.

[@JonathanNinnin]

With your skills in colorgrading, you are sitting on a golden egg for a really successful youtube channel. Keep it up man, you are rocking it !

[@averypeck]

Thank you Jonathan!

[@GuenniKurti]

I just started using Resolve two days ago and I can't say how glad I am to have discovered your channel. These are hands down some of the best tutorials I've ever seen for any software. It's so nice that you're back just as I find out about your channel. Keep up the amazing work! I already feel like I've learned so much from just a few of your videos.

[@raymondcphoto9756]

Really. This is the best tutorial I have seen. Hope he has time to post more of these tutorial. 👍👍

[@marin_real_estate_photography]

Man, every time I watch your videos I learn something that is a life saver for me. So glad you are posting more often now.

[@eikekopsch1208]

By far the best CG Videos! Can't understand why people are disliking your content! Keep up the great work!

[@marquisaof2757]

Fantastic tut. Quick and straight to the point. Thanks Avery

[@MAXXX1195]

Great tutorial, effective, well-made and straight to the point. Worth a suscribe for sure !

[@TheStoenk]

balancing highlights and shadows poorly is my area of expertise

[@LaurenceYatesAU]

And I was so happy when Adobe added the Luma/Sat curve to Lumetri. Thanks for the tips!

[@semmussaev]

The Best on KZbin and easy to understand. I'v even bought blackmagic production cam to follow Avery Peck's tutorials. Thanks a lot!

[@averypeck]

Thank you, and congratulations on your purchase!

[@christoffersen]

Please don't stop making these videos! These are making grading so much better for me

[@andydv3239]

i'm a fan of user the "printer light hot key" to make broad balancing adjustments. I've even applied colored stickers to my keyboard's numberpad to help remember what does what :) its a bit more of a blunt instrument but great for initial balances

[@luc_official]

I've been watching so many color grading tutorials lately by so called professionals and pretty much all of them desaturate their shadows. This is the only video I've seen without this technique and your way of balancing them makes much more sense! Amazing content, I'd love to see more tutorials by you on the different parts of correcting and grading your footage.

[@owlmuso]

Avery, you are awesome. This video is really illuminating

[@Longdancer]

Hi Avery. Got any new Resolve tuts/tips coming up anytime in the near future? Always look forward to seeing your work. Always like to learn new techniques. Thanks alot for all the stuff you've produced so far. Good work.

[@stoompee]

this is now my favourite channel

[@jianzhizhang8333]

You sir, have the BEST grading tutorials. Simple, good content and straight to the points!

[@koelink88]

So awesome! Was so sick of this Aram K dude. This learns you the right way and also helps you understand why it works this way. Thanks you so much!!

[@johnmeric492]

Avery you are a legend you need to come back more frequent, and if you had a tutorial class ill buy it

[@BrianSellers]

Such great info - concise and super-valuable!

[@hernanpatane]

I can't get enough of this channel...

[@nahorrr]

Thank you! Balancing with Log wheels works great for this purpose. I always had ugly desaturated reds in shadows while using Luma/Sat curve, and wondered what am I doing wrong. Looking forward for more tips.

[@yourfavcatobsessedgirl]

Avery, thank you again! And if you ever create a masterclass, count me in!

[@mcankaka]

A few days ago i watched a video for color balance, and he says exactly same way you say "thats the wrong way".. Now im changing my balancing way like this.. Woaw you save me from a big mistake :)

[@samuelgolom]

You are so helpful and so good at what you do! Thanks

[@cli23]

100% best color grading tutorials on KZbin!

[@barrymurphy5548]

Excellent Avery, as always ! Would really love to see how you deal with bad highlight rolloff.

[@RetroRecipesKitchen]

I seriously look forward to your channel putting out new videos. Great work, man. I seriously hope you're able to continue making these.

[@reynaldomusic9203]

we are craving for more from Avery Peck

[@tempuraimages2363]

This is so useful and at the same time fixes so much misinformation out there, that it should be promoted as much as possible.

[@FLCLben]

great tips ! quick and clear ! awesome ! keep it up !

[@OliKember]

You are the man Avery! I'm gonna use this for sure. Would love a video from you on the way to use all the different node types: Serial, Parallel etc. Just a thought, cheers!

[@FlipsMedia]

Yep, I am very glad you have returned to KZbin. 10/10 Channel with 10/10 Content. incredible information! Keep it up!

[@averypeck]

[@timbellow530]

[@niemandschuldet]

MORE PLEASE! GREAT TUTORIALS!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@CANNOTDIEFILMS]

Avery my man, you’ve saved the day. Thanks man!

[@DiegoPereyra]

Very cool man, you are great at explaining hard to get subjects, thanks...! Have a nice day...

[@jessyoung5734]

This is was so helpful! I've always been terrified of the primary bars, so thanks for demystifying them for me.

[@kwa42]

wow never learnt so much about grading in 5 minutes... ultraa helpful

[@sunsetchasers581]

I can't remember if it was one of your tutorials that I learned to use to color bars for White balance, but I did a couple months ago and it really helped me a lot. It works much better for me than the white balance slider, or desaturating did whenever I miss stuff in the field. Thanks for that gem at the end about using the log wheel to clean out your blacks. I have been keying black, and desaturating the darkest parts of my shadows (with good results), but this seems more effective and best of all much faster!

[@Element5films]

Thanks man. Very clearly explained ❤

[@sergeypetlin628]

Man,you are the best! Your videos are most helfull! Thanks so much!

[@philippdrflr]

instant subscribe... wow... rarely seen anything this effective, helpful and understandable... amazing! thx!

[@baorichard4345]

Could you do some videos on how to set the scene that will help the post production like color grading, cause i think a good color result are mostly based on good shooting, lighting, set design, etc. BTW, Really appreciate you sharing those great information/

[@timbellow530]

Bao Richard that’s pretty much gotta come from within

[@LesiureBoy]

Amazing work. You're very mature, talented , knowledgeable and professional. Keep'em coming!!!

[@literallyshane4306]

[@César.Tejada]

Lesson learned, thank you!!! 👏👏 So in which scenarios we can use Luma vs Sat?

[@darmok072]

Great! Can't wait till next year for another video! ;-)

[@silvadiablo6200]

[@williamfry3250]

Best grading channel about! Learned so much from your channel. Please do a Children of Men colour grading tutorial!

[@23kri]

That is awesome!! Thank you so much for your job!

[@marcusruiz2971]

Solid man! Would love to see a tutorial on coloring in ACES colorspace.

[@Veptis]

Thanks, I haven't had to yet, but it sounds straight forward. I would.have used the wheels by default. Or try to do it by WB. I use the sat vs Lum to desat my shadows and highlights and add saturation into my midtones for a creative look.

[@jacobdesio]

Great video! What is the difference between using color bars and using curves?

[@rubenschmehl3183]

You are a genius😊😄 Thanks for your Tutorials, they are helping me so much!😍

[@donsantasproduction]

Can't wait for your new tutorial

[@rafanowak2032]

Bro! I don't know what you are doing but find time to do KZbin. Great job!

[@InSaudi]

nice, any guide on where and how to start learning color grading from basics?

[@gainvitalitymitanna1274]

Awesome Video ! Helped a lot :)

[@EnriqueAcunaZZ]

Hitting like button as always! Great content

Take this as a compliment, you sound like Andrew Kramer so much! (thanks for the nice tutorial btw)

[@youngman44]

So many good tutorials. Wonder what's happened? One year since the last? I see you are liking some of the recent posts. Hope all is okay. But would love more of this. You should do a class on it. Your instruction is with such clarity & logic.

[@VishnuAttiappan]

Waiting for the ACES workflow ;) btw I am learning a lot on how parameters work from you.

[@AbrEvig]

Excellent video!

[@OmarSherien]

You are the best colorist on KZbin ❤️

[@kevinkelly8301]
