[@jeffapplefield3341]

Really really beautiful work, you’re the man Qazi! After moving to the blackmagic family of cameras and switching from premiere to resolve your channel has been the single most important resource for learning the resolve color grading process. I can’t thank you enough for all the tips, tricks and thought processes.LEGEND👊🏻

[@theqazman]

let's go my brother. Much love.

[@gopolarisstudio]

Truly, this man is a frickin saint.

That birthday shot was absolutley beautiful. Very emotional

[@theqazman]

Thank you

[@lukeleon1720]

I hadn't thought about dropping MD to counter that digital feel. Great tip, definitely gonna use that one.

[@theqazman]

The storytelling of this video was so good!

[@theqazman]

Thank you

[@whousefilms]

Amazing work as always. I really appreciate what you offer to the creative community.

[@theqazman]

of course. Appreciate the love.

[@Cryovile]

the use of glow and sharpen is genius. Like a black pro mist filter that's adjustable

[@theqazman]

💯couldn't agree more.

[@Sukhpreet3236]

do we have that glow in premiere pro in anyway? Actually I am more comfortable in editing in Premiere pro. So I learn and apply your color grading techniques in Premiere pro as much as I can.

[@DREZZYFILMS]

Sukhpreet Singh not a great way buddy. You got to apply those techniques in resolve. Premiere is not a grading app lol

[@ariruishalme4403]

Your videos are beyond great! I think of you as my mentor / teacher motivation. . Will get your tutorial package 📦 layer on..

[@theqazman]

Let's go!

[@brianzvc]

Great stuff Was, really impressed by the difference in the bedroom scene with the woman. Insane difference.

[@theqazman]

Thank you

[@hakansakioglu4565]

Can you make a video on just the skin tones? And if its better with paralel node or layer node? And how keying works in each! I really love the way you explain things!! Thank you!!

[@theqazman]

I have. Just go through my content here or better yet jump on the masterclass that closes in 2 days. bit.ly/2YGHMJO

[@hakansakioglu4565]

Waqas Qazi Ok thank you man!!

[@justbeingamir8976]

Hey Qazi, you're really down to earth and your process is really clean and understandable, love it and thanks for putting it out there for those trying to learn how to grade in resolve, really appreciate it 🤞🏽 If it's possible you should try to break down Parasites color grade, there's just something about the colors thats eerie and foreshadows the tone of the movie

[@theqazman]

thanks for the love and yes, parasite is on the list.

[@thai_le_foto]

This was a cool email to read through. The Master Class is legit no joke. 100000% worth the money

[@AlexNejera]

it seems that those that had paid for the original course get bonus content as well. thank you :D :D

[@theqazman]

Of course 💪🏽

[@IbaBalbo2]

Always great tutorials!! I'm trying to use more curves and less qualifier too! Tnks for the masterclass man, you rock!

[@theqazman]

Let's go. FCM fam 💪🏾

[@strv7585]

Keep up the amazing work dude!

[@pedroarruda7878]

Hauu!! Thank you soo much, congratulations for the excellent work!

[@theqazman]

[@GermanoMichelon]

Man, you`re inspiring my filmaking so much! Love your work and your videos! Changed from Premiere to Davinci for colors, and simply loving it!

[@YuvalAloni]

Thank you for yet another amazing video Qazi 🙏

[@theqazman]

You know it brother

[@badhiyasivideo]

[@donnieyen4]

How much did you charge for that work ? Great content as usual ! Thanks

[@SkullyReacts]

This is gold!! Thanks Qazi!

[@theqazman]

thanks

[@Taran_Bali]

Very detailed and full of information. The only problem in the music video is that nurse's acting, that kept a smile on her face in the beginning but that's not what we can fix in post haha. Cheers Brother.

[@theqazman]

much love.

[@pierrekiwiz]

unequaled quality content

[@theqazman]

much love.

[@craigkariem]

love this so much ... i'm so glad that i met you... Awesome....Stuff

[@theqazman]

thank you brother

[@Zac3D]

Tons of juice! Captured the moods big time here

[@theqazman]

You know how I do.

[@YEOTTI]

Love the work but do you really need that many nodes??

[@idruss]

Cannot get layer mixer working.. Set it up EXACTLY like you did, but no change is seen in the output, changing any of those 3 nodes. What am I doing wrong? Other than that, sick tutorial! Learning so much from this.

[@Samvisualarts]

I appreciate you Qazi!!!

[@theqazman]

Thank you Sam 😀

[@district4promo609]

you dont have any videos on how to correct already baked footage or footage that wasnt shot in log?

[@talemwa.]

Can you do BEASTS OF NO NATION look next? Thank you so much for the great work though. I'm learning alot!

[@theqazman]

I'll add it to the list

[@krmparysee5958]

Hey, great content as always ! Would you be able to explain a bit of your setup please ? Looking to upgrade to a Mac Pro, so i'm curious about your configuration and maybe I/O card (decklink ?), etc. Thanks for the knowledge your sharing !

[@theqazman]

thanks. Setup is explained in detail in my masterclass. bit.ly/2YGHMJO

[@conortychowski]

Insanely good content again Qazi! I was also just wondering how you would have a client send you the prores file if there were dissolve transitions baked into the footage? How would you go about colour grading that? Thanks again!

[@theqazman]

Thanks. Got a whole lesson on it and a Module in my masterclass to show you all the different ways to attack it. waqasqazi.podia.com/freelance-colorist?coupon=spring

[@visiontheoryproductions]

Love your videos! The biggest question I have is when to use log wheels over primary wheels especially when you can mask out a certain area you're working with.

[@theqazman]

thanks. Watch this bit.ly/2wdU3Kb

[@claudiavillalon9025]

I love your videos! sadly I am poor!! Hope for the next master class!!!

[@documenta]

Hi Waqas!! very cool, really beautiful work. One cuestion, it would be interesting to show an image with a pan or tilt in the same cut, it is very difficult for me to make corrections in cuts like this. thanks.

[@Landonlacey10]

Hey Qazi, how do you create the videos where it reveals all the layers of one's color grade? Do you have a video on this? Thanks!

[@joaocorreia5208]

Good content, i like this video

[@adithyasatheesh127]

Why doesn't Qazi have a million subscribers yet ?.

[@theqazman]

Wondering the same 😜

[@tobytorials]

Hey man really love your work!! I have a question tho, I bought a color calibrator but it seems like my colors are still a bit of on different screens. I use a IPS Panel Dell Alienware AW3418DW a $1000,- monitor. How do you deal with this?

So good man, ty

[@theqazman]

Thanks

[@vladivalchanov]

I absolutely love this tones man...and this channel at all! I have watched each of your videos like 3-4 times, while taking notes.. Ofc, i have 2 question, that i am struggling with: 1. what should i do first - do the skin tones, then the "'look'' and then bring back the skin tones creating parallel node and connect it with the "skin" node, then keying it a litle, or the opposite - First create the look and then bringing the skin tones back? 2. While working with skin tones is it absolutely necessary to qualified them, or i can adjust them, using R curve, or hue vs.? Regards from Bulgaria

[@theqazman]

This is where you can benefit a lot from the masterclass because its much more than a comment to understand what needs to happen in different situations. waqasqazi.podia.com/freelance-colorist?coupon=spring

[@kristian1541]

GREAT JOB!

[@theqazman]

Thank you

[@danieladams7782]

Hey Qazi! awesome video! so much great info! Thank you so much! Quick question, do you ever rely on the skin tone line on the vectorscope to bring back skin tones? i feel like i'm always trying to keep skin tones on that line and maybe sometimes you should just let the skin match the lighting even if it's not "natural". Thanks!

[@theqazman]

thanks. at this point I don't rely on the skin tones line. Those are the training wheels great for starting out but eventually you gotta move past that.

[@danieladams7782]

Waqas Qazi cool thanks for the reply!

anyone know how to create that before/after color grading breakdown pause effect that he uses in his all tutorial, like first he shows the log footage then pause then one by one color grading layers and then play with final look,how to do that in davinchi resolve if anyone know help me please

[@MoinKhan-dj7dp]

Come in edit panel... And put ur raw footage on top and graded footage under that.... And put a crop key in raw footage..... U can check my insta profile @filmmakermoinkhan

[@jeffapplefield3341]

Have you done any demos with blackmagic pocket cinema 4K footage in BRAW? I think a lot of indie filmmakers are using these cameras because of the price point and image quality, I’d love to see that.

[@theqazman]

there are videos on my channel that were shot on bmp4k also I have a whole module in my masterclass that take you through bmd and bunch of other cameras and how to best use them. 2 days left to sign up bit.ly/2YGHMJO
