I'm a complete beginner at both editing in Davinci Resolve and color grading. I just binge watched several of your videos, you're the only one who's helped me understand how to wrap my head around this complicated world of colors, LUT's, nodes, etc. And you've made me feel like I can actually learn all this. THANK YOU!

[@colorgradinginsights]

Happy to help!

[@77dris]

Holy moly! This channel is underviewed/subbed. I've watched dozens of other videos on grading etc and NONE come close to the professionalism and clarity of those in this channel... and none have the same sort of final result. Thank you!

[@colorgradinginsights]

Wow, thanks!

[@equisetuminc]

totally agree. plus the presentation is clear and paced well.

[@rubster1975]

Most relaxing voice in the Resolve KZbin space! Plus: tons of good tips. 👌

[@colorgradinginsights]

Glad you think so!

[@zameerpactyan]

By far the most straight forward and helpful video on the topic across the KZbin ;) Thanks

[@colorgradinginsights]

Thanks so much!

[@gregormarini]

Even though I'm an "experienced" DaVinci user, I think it's great how you explained it! Well done!

[@colorgradinginsights]

Thank you!

[@VICTORMAGESE]

you are AMAZING. Thank you. All other tutorials tell you just a little while skipping steps to push you to buy workshops. So grateful, Subscribed!

[@edmondebacitas1608]

finally, a clear demonstration on how to apply luts. Thank you

[@netjens]

Thanks for this! I wonder when you do the REC.709, why is there no output in the colorspace? well I mean why do you not define it?

[@alecoqui2007]

Her timeline was already Rec.709 so you don’t have to define it since that would be redundant. You can change your timelines color space in the color management settings.

[@dimitarsirakov9846]

I am asking for advice on how to do the correct color space transform on the Nikon Z6II

[@smiguel1000]

It's really intersting. I never thought that there was additional information in the file for good correction

Hola y feliz año. La preciosa está de vuelta y es motivo de alegría. Saludos.

[@denveraspen]

It is a pleasure to watch a professional work. Your explanation was informative, and I enjoyed the pacing and style of your video.

[@colorgradinginsights]

Thank you very much!

[@importedgoods6900]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! Can you advise on how to export a finished video graded with a film LUT for web content? For some reason when I export with rec.709 gamma 2.2 tag, there is color and luminance difference 😢

[@TLOverlander]

Does the film conversion process involve rec709? Why wouldn't you use and project HLG 2100?

[@henroveenath791]

Why did you use 2 CST nodes instead of one? Can't you select the right selections on just one node?

[@favier9856]

Is this node order correct? Rec709 > CST(cineon) > Lut

[@colorgradinginsights]

Yes!

[@UraFlight]

Hi ! I did apply the LUT same as on this tutorial but my footage from Canon R5C filmed in log-2 looks even more horrible. Any advice please on what I’ve been doing wrong ?

[@RudeyDalast]

Thank you and happy new year

[@livesongs82]

So if you have already graded you footage and apply the LUT at the very end. Are you only adjusting the compound node? Or do you have to go back to the 1st set of nodes to find the balance?

[@kirankiranmishra]

Q - why you put cineon log and then film lut after red to rec709 convertion ?

[@RazeN_Gaming]

Where i can find that Kodak LUT´s?

[@mehrdadjahanii]

YOUR THE BEST . BEAUTIFUL AND PRO AT YOUR WORKS .THANK YOU

[@colorgradinginsights]

You are so welcome

[@jackbarron8880]

So what colour management space should I be in for the Kodak 2383 workflow? I'm using BRAW files shot in LOG. Do I have to have my timeline in Rec709??

[@colorgradinginsights]

I usually work in DaVinci Wide Gamut, you can find it in my course, there's also a FREE masterclass available: colorgradinginsights.thinkific.com/pages/free-lesson-offer-1

[@Sonofmohigo]

Thank you so much for your easy explanation.

[@colorgradinginsights]

You are welcome! I hope you’ll get interested in my course: colorgradinginsights.thinkific.com/courses/masteringcolorgrading

[@NewbieFilmMaker]

Is it possible to just drop a cst at the start of the node tree to cineon log and the last would be your film look?

[@Fireandagrill]

So say if you importing S-Log 3 would it be correct to have grades in this order: CST from correct S-Log to Davinci wide gamut - Colour Grade Nodes - CST from Davinci wide gamut to Rec 709 and the gamma to Cineon Film Log - Kodak 2383 Film LUT. Then just deliver in Rec 709, Gamma 2.4?

[@colorgradinginsights]

Yes!

[@Fireandagrill]

Thanks for the reply, so would it be necessary to have a final CST to gamma 2.4 or no?

[@allstarbury]

Dont you think that backgroud is a bit overexposed ?

[@Balderdash_Films]

Really helpful!! Thanks so much.

[@carloseduardomenjivaraguil3540]

Can you make a tutorial for advanced recovery highlight with diferent type of cameras , like blackmagic and sony (most comun)

[@RodolfoVanzini]

Thank you very much. Really appreciated this video as all your others. Thank you.

[@colorgradinginsights]

Thank you Rodolfo!

[@deardaughter]

If I downloaded someone else's LUT, how do I know it's specifics? In Text it just says his name, not the specific gamma or input.

[@colorgradinginsights]

Yeah that’s the problem with LUTs purchased somewhere! The only thing you can do is to try it with your footage how it works!

[@4008517517]

Looking forward to making a LUT tutorial for logC4 of ARRI Alexa 35, thank you

[@colorgradinginsights]

Noted!

[@ShutterTwist99]

Why? You have a Red footage that is converted to Rec709 and then you convert Rec709 to Cineon. Why not convert Red to DWG, DWG to Cineon and then Rec709 in the end? Rec709 has a limited dynamic range and Cineon grading will have a different effect that it would on DWG.

[@vaivmusic]

i hope this lut tutorial wud help me after watching 100 non working lut tutorials

[@haroldmorganTulsa]

Hello my DaVinci Siren! I knew about the 2383 but wonder about all the other luts I own. Is there some assumption I can make about them?

[@colorgradinginsights]

Hey! I’ve totally missed your comment! I’m using only resolve in build LUTs or the LUTs from the manufacturers, so it’s clear how to use them!

[@imagesbyzel4399]

This was very helpful!

[@colorgradinginsights]

Glad it was helpful!

[@danielphotoa]

I have a question 🙋‍♂️ why is CST (Color Space Transform) placed as the last node and not the first node? Your videos are very amazing and helpful!! (:

[@jandwstudios9729]

Because you want to work in wide color space. It’s like trying to modify and adjust a jpg vs a raw photo file. Once you apply the cst it becomes 709, which is like a finished jpg. So it goes way at the end, for final output like on YT. Only thing after might be something like grain as it’s not effected by color space, and you don’t want a bunch of different grain colors, by grading it earlier in pipeline.

[@SondreFormoLindheim]

@@jandwstudios9729partly correct. You can add the CST BEFORE and after. Example: N1 NR N2 CST - Camera profile > DaVinci WG N3 Adjustments N4 CST DWG > Cineon Film N5 Filmprint LUT In that way you’re working on the Rec709 clip in a DWG Color Space until the convertion. I normally create the CST in the beginning and end - and the LUT at the very end as described above, and work my way backwards on the node tree (From node 3 (or if you have Node 1-8, I would work from Node 6 and backwards)

[@colorgradinginsights]

Good question! So if you place cst on the first node, you’ll loose a lot the camera information as cst compresses the image to rec.709 so it makes the color space you’re working on also rec709 that is very often smaller than the original footage, I hope this makes sense!

[@SondreFormoLindheim]

@@colorgradinginsights wrong - You can easily output DWG on the first CST as described by me above.

[@colorgradinginsights]

@@SondreFormoLindheim Was answering the question why the cst node with an output to rec.709 should be placed at the end. Thanks.

[@GuruSan88]

Thank you so much for this demonstration!

[@colorgradinginsights]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Dalife]

Always good and to the point

[@DanSpartacus]

I did everything right, but when I apply the LUT it doesnt get warm at all... the red is just opaque. Someone else had this problem?
