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 ??????

[@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!

[@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.

[@TheStoenk]

balancing highlights and shadows poorly is my area of expertise

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@kimkrohnberle]

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

[@aberzvideo2285]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@erictozzi112]

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

[@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.

[@FranJMartin]

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

[@raymondcphoto9756]

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

[@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!

[@fjkdlas904]

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

[@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.

[@TommyMartin]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@juanpablomartinez4140]

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

[@eikekopsch1208]

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

[@marinrealestatephotography]

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.

[@LaurenceYatesAU]

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

[@marquisaof2757]

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

[@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

[@MAXXX1195]

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

[@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

[@stoompee]

this is now my favourite channel

[@jianzhizhang8333]

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

[@hernanpatane]

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

[@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

[@CANNOTDIEFILMS]

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

[@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.

[@BrianSellers]

Such great info - concise and super-valuable!

[@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.

[@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!

[@reynaldomusic9203]

we are craving for more from Avery Peck

[@cli23]

100% best color grading tutorials on KZbin!

[@DemetriosLevi]

This was so friggin helpful. You're gonna blow up soon, my man! Such an underrated channel

[@averypeck]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@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

[@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!!

[@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!

[@tjpenton]

Glad you're back! Great work as always.

[@barrymurphy5548]

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

[@urfavcowtherian]

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

[@FlipsMedia]

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

[@averypeck]

Thank you!

[@samuelgolom]

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

[@jessyoung5734]

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

[@FLCLben]

[@CANNOTDIEFILMS]

Best color grading video for sure

[@niemandschuldet]

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

[@Deanduo]

Truly amazing content. Please do these more often!

[@LesiureBoy]

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

[@Lnej1]

Great tutorial! I'm just starting to learn about grading and color correction and I find your videos very helpful. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@victorfilm_]

You’re on a roll, Avery. Yet another useful tutorial. Thax man!

[@DiegoPereyra]

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

[@DannyGevirtz]

The color GOAT!

[@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 :)

[@Element5films]

Thanks man. Very clearly explained ❤

[@johnmeric492]

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

[@OmarSherien]

You are the best colorist on KZbin ❤️

[@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!

[@kwa42]

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

[@darmok072]

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

[@David_Drills]

Hey Avery, great content over here, you helped me a lot! You should do a tutorial about DaVinci Resolve Optimized Media and Render Cache and proxies, and also about final rendering 4k or 2k footage. Keep doing great things!

[@CalviNNation]

Using the Curves works for me. I assume much like the low range and the high range. Pulling colours up or down on the appropriate place on the curves would do just the same thing no? Any reason why curves for balancing are any worse?

[@averypeck]

The RGB curves are another great tool for balancing!

[@erthaldop]

Thats amazing! Great video, Avery!

[@Radiakt]

Damn feels like an eternity! Hope you're doing ok!

[@projetokey]

best color grading tutorials

[@markantturi1702]

Great tips! Learning something new every day :D

[@chrisr1241]

Avery Rocks it...best!

[@MsAndreaskastrup]

This was so frickin good

[@VishnuAttiappan]

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

[@timbellow530]

I’m glad I met u, pal. That’s all I got to say. I love u brother. And Thank you for what you do .

[@kevinkelly8301]

I ain't watch yet but I know this will be epic. I'm happy you're back sir.

[@YuliaAnggraeniPost]

If you make a series of advance tutorial I’m willing to pay for those!! Amazing as always

[@César.Tejada]

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

[@EnriqueAcunaZZ]

Hitting like button as always! Great content

[@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.

[@rubenschmehl3183]

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

[@EnricoValoti]

Love your videos man! Keep it up!

[@jacobdesio]

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

[@23kri]

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

[@literallyshane4306]

so well explained! thank you

[@donsantasproduction]

Can't wait for your new tutorial

[@wepranaga]

man. your animation is really good. do you create it in fusion? or just good old after effects?

[@averypeck]

Thanks! I use good ole AE!

[@ТотсамыйСамыйтот-и7к]

Hit the like button, leave the comment and then watch, as always, you're amazing, dude!

[@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.

[@coory]

Thank you for your tuition! 5 stars!

[@sathish6601]

hi!!!! what computer do you use. i love your videos. i own a BMCC and a mac mini. so, unable to use resolve properly. what computer and gpu would you suggest. thanks. btw, love your videos. one stop for learning color grading.. keep up the good work. thanks !!

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

[@iangraham75]

Dude. These are great. Thanks so much.

[@williamfry3250]
