excellent simple tutorial, I learned a lot and even took notes. Thank you for this

[@movietrailer4113]

The magnificent style of the golden mood 🤠

[@Bfitcine]

Beautiful color can’t wait to go out and shoot for this look.

[@benweichlermedia9096]

I am really hesitant when it comes to purchasing luts for many reasons, but I was impressed so I figured I would give it a try. Hands down the best 2383 luts I have ever used and in my top out list overall as well. Highly recommend!

[@george.colorist]

Hey Ben. Glad you found the LUTs useful for your work. Thanks for the support.

[@DavieMorgan]

Awesome George. Keep up the incredible work depth tutorials buddy the majority of us appreciate your teaching. Keep it going you should be very proud of your efforts and thank you for

[@george.colorist]

Thanks for the kind words Davie. 🙏🏼

Great content George ! i really like the technique

[@jhonesreece4946]

Very good tutorial on DaVinci résolve 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@reyvaz2951]

Very nice video George, for one minute I thought this was going to be a Dehancer video, like the trick going to the raw tap to find my color space, very use full trick.

Amazing jog my friend!

[@akib3159]

can please explain for color grading using pro res log using your lut. thanks

[@neilmaiq]

Great job

[@user-ck7bv9zk8l]

Love this tutorial! I get all the way thru until I have to export. The colors when exporting are really different compared to DaVinci resolve. I tried to change to Rec 709A and Rec709, and tried to restart from the beginning. Any tips on how to fix this?

[@AmazingCreationsStudio]

huh.. why you are using paid luts on a tutorial video ?? it's not worth it to buy for a beginner.. make tutorial on custom looks not by premade looks or lut

[@vividmotion66]

Thanks for sharing. How would my first note IDT look like for Sony slog3 or ZCAM zlog2 since it is no RAW? I’d like to keep working in DWG like you. Also, how did you set up your project color management settings?

[@fpsoundpacks]

Hey George! Tell me, because of working with BRAW, waht's your Color Management settings for this tutorial?

[@MrMoviePhoneEx]

Thank you!

[@george.colorist]

Np. Thanks for watching.

[@HalloFilmz]

hello why in input wide gamut and intermediate? why not gen4/5 why not bmc film ? why ? difference between them?

[@chiya_mohammed]

Thanks man

[@george.colorist]

Thanks for watching!

[@imeanbillya]

This is great. Can I ask why you do t use the HDR wheels for colour?

[@george.colorist]

Sometimes I do use the HDR wheels for color when I want to target a more specific range when adjusting color. For this tutorial I just wanted to show that creating a look can be done with one color wheel and a little adjusting afterwards.

[@gilang1768]

hai mate can you make tutorial color grading like watchluke? thanks i appreciate that 😉

[@happylukman]

I really love this ❤ Please can I get the Kodak 83 lut for free. Thanks

[@animusvisual]

wouldnt the first node become unnecessary? you changed the raw settings to what you need which was dwg and intermediate. The first IDT converts it to the same thing..

[@omaralshalali2143]

[@nazarelbadia3706]

If I use a Sony camera, which setting i have to use in the first node in input Color Space & gamma ? Thank you so much !!! great job

[@george.colorist]

It depends on which picture profile settings you used on your Sony. S-Log2? S-Log3?

[@nazarelbadia3706]

[@nazarelbadia3706]

So ? Can you help me?

[@george.colorist]

Check your camera settings. Whatever picture profile settings you shot with are the ones you use in the input. @@nazarelbadia3706

[@HexelDaddy]

Great video, George. Got a question tho. when I put the a LUT in, it overlaps with the CST node and saturates my image big time. In my beginner experience with Davinci, I found that if I use a LUT node I have to get rid of the CST or vice-versa. I see that for you it works proper. Could you tell me why I have this problem. I shoot my footage in v-log on a lumix S5

[@PhilDuggs]

This will depend on what your lut expects as an input and what it outputs. I am presuming you are using a CST to transform your footage from V-log to Davinci Wide Gamut then applying your lut grading before and after the lut node and then outputting to REC709 using another CST. It sounds to me that your lut is then outputting REC709 into your next nodes. As a result when it hits your output CST it is doing a double conversion to REC709.

[@george.colorist]

Are you using one CST node to convert from your camera/source color space or are you using an IDT/ODT workflow like in this video? It sounds like you are using a LUT which is probably correct for your camera/source but its a conversion LUT which is taking you from that camera/source color space into Rec.709 and then you also have a CST node which is applying the same conversion. Use one or the other. Let me know if you need more help with this.

[@mattrobinson-filmmaker3209]

Hey nice video! I am curious as a BMPCC user why you set the input CST as DWG to DWG rather than the camera profile to DWG? I know the raw recording is technically DWG but the contrast curve is not..... Always looking for better methods so curious about this. Thanks

[@george.colorist]

You can do either. I just change it to DWG when i have a bunch of RAW clips from different BMPCC cameras to keep things uniform. Its not something that'll change affect a workflow or final result much.

[@mattrobinson-filmmaker3209]

Ok, understood. Thanks for reply@@george.colorist

[@ANASG968]

How do you have a clean workspace, where the video looks bigger ? mine looks very tiny and can't make it looks like yours

[@george.colorist]

I have the Timeline and Clips panels hidden so I get more workspace. The size of your screen will also be a factor in this.

[@AnthonyEynard]

Can anyone tell me what color management settings he uses?

[@george.colorist]

DaVinci YRGB

[@dawoodhanif2399]

i have macbook air. I use gamma 2.4 Am i doing it wrong or it is fine to stick to it?

[@george.colorist]

Gamma 2.4 is okay 👍🏼

[@dawoodhanif2399]

@@george.colorist I had been using sRGB ICE61966-2.1 for like a year now. I changed it like a week ago to REC709 Gamma 2.4 - Which profile would you recommend to stick to

[@cxlestar]

this was the most helpful davinci color grading video i've seen so far

[@FromTheTeensMind]

So quick question. Recently bought your LUT pack but I just want to clarify one thing on my end for grading. A lot of LUTs will have a 'LUT Name.cub for LOG' and then they will have a 'LUT Name.cube - Rec709'. Similar to how you have DWG and Rec.709. What's the difference in terms for grading? If I have this right, the rec.709 LUTs give you a base to start at from REC709 with the LUT's features added correct? Then the ones without the REC709 are 'the creative' ones where you can just adjust your intensity to get the desired look after you have made either base adjustments or 'a rec709 conversion' right? I just am trying to get a better understanding in terms of grading my footage.

[@george.colorist]

Yes. The difference between the DaVinci WideGamut LUTs and Rec.709 LUTs is just the color space they're made for. You're just applying them differently. They provide the same thing. Rec.709 LUTs you use with a Rec.709 color space after a CST node which converts footage color space into Rec.709 or you use a Rec.709 LUT directly on Rec.709 footage. The DaVinci Wide Gamut LUTs from my LUT packs are for use inside of a DWG/Intermediate pipeline between two CST nodes or if you're in a Resolve Color Managed project. Im not completely sure what you mean by "creative ones". Whether its a Rec.709 LUT or DWG LUT, you can make adjustments before and after applying them.

[@FromTheTeensMind]

First, thank you for replying because all of that did help. By 'creative ones', remove that sentence. For example, there is a filmmaker named Mabo Films where I have his LUT pack called 'Mood'. One is titled, 'Mabo-Mood.cube' and the other is 'Mabo-Mood Rec.709'. When applying them, they both are different just by a tad bit. So what I was referencing is that when applying these LUTs straight from LOG, are the REC709 Luts meant to start as a REC709 base while the ones without REC709 in the title are meant to be used as a 'creative' lut? I used creative because I edit on Premiere yet I learn from DaVinci (going to make the switch one of these days though).@@george.colorist

[@choukribaziz]

What i didn't understand is, i know that i have to make cst node to change color space from wide gamut to rec709 and u didn't do that also u didn't convert to cineon film log, why?

[@george.colorist]

The ODT node is converting from DWG to Rec.709. The LUT I used in this color grade is one of my DWG LUTs, not the Resolve Cineon Film LUT so there was no need to convert to Cineon Film Log.

[@cezar_visual_artist]

My..my...my... mine...buy MY lut...oh come on

[@2424rocket]

First third of your video is a commercial and then you keep saying four nodes but there’s really six. So right away you start out on a bad note or should I say bad node.

[@hypnopaedic]

I don't like the result. Way too dark.

[@UraFlight]

Everything is wrong right from the beginning. You should learn from scratch how to use CST . Please don’t confuse people
