Davinci also have excellent tools for adding sharpness in post. Most people shoot with in-camera sharpening set to the lowest setting ( in sony cameras, -7 sharpening) so you can add it in post. There's many tutorials here on youtube - try them out 😊 it can make a huge difference

Merhaba, öncelikle çok kaliteli bir video gerçekten tebrik ederim. Tamamını izledim ama benim için çok ileri seviye ve free versiyon kullanıyorum. Color Grading öğrenmek istiyorum basit bir şekilde, öyle bir videon var mı? Aksiyon kamerası ile çektiğim görüntülerde minik oynamalar yapmak istiyorum yalnızca. Profilimde deneme videolarımı görebilirsin, olduğu gibi yükledim onları. Aslında hobi olarak fotoğraf çekiyorum orada bu konulara hakimim faydası elbet oluyor ama o şekilde ayar yaptığımda video güzel gelmiyor gözüme. Color Grading yerine LUT meselesini mi öğrensem? Hazır LUTlar vardır herhalde her videoda gözüme iyi gelen lutu mu seçip kullansam? Kullandığım dji kameranın mobil uygulamasında güzel filtreler var ama telefona aktar düzenle geri al falan uğraşmak istemedim, mobil düzenlemeyi sevmiyorum hiç. Bir de kameramda D-LOG 10 bit çekim ayarı var onunla çekip free versiyonda düzenlemem mümkün mü? Ben normal color ayarlarında her şey otoda çekiyorum Böyle profesyonel bir videoya çok amatör bir yorum yapıyorum ama en azından etkileşim sayılır :)) Sevgiler

[@moonbowb]

@@atikmuhammed merhaba teşekkür ederim önce yorumun için 🙏🏻 Benim yaptığım videolar biraz daha detaylı senin de söylediğin gibi. Ama youtube da bir çok başlangıç seviyesini anlatan iyi videolar var. Onlardan yaralanabilirsin. Lut kullanılabilir tabii ki ama onu da her görüntüye uyarlamak zordur. Vakit kazandırabilir, ama her zaman istediğin sonuca ulaşamazsın. Onun dışında bir çok şeyi Davinci’nin free versiyonuyla yapabilirsin. Ama 10 bit görüntü free de kullanılamıyor diye hatırlıyorum. Denemek lazım. Aslında en başında çok karışık gözükse de mantığını anlayınca hızlıca öğrenirsin. Sadece başında biraz sabretmek gerekiyor 😄 iyi şanslar 🕺🏻

Man this is so impressive to see but it feels so overwhelming just to watch, as soon as I saw you had to create so many different nodes my brain checked out, why cant you make changes like this to a single node instead of it requiring so many steps?

[@moonbowb]

@@TheJudeza That's a very good question and I can understand how you feel. I might even make another video about it. But in short, the reason for having so many nodes is to have more control. 🙌🏻

[@HartenDylan]

@TheJudeza You sort of can and you sort of can't. The best analogy would be similar to cooking an extravagant meal with multiple dishes that are intended to go together. You could just throw it all in to one pot, stir it up, and see what you get - but if something goes great/terrible, you have no way of knowing precisely what did that (therefore you have no control on how to do it again/prevent yourself from doing it again). With nodes/layers, you can see that if you *cook* the contrast a little too much on a curve, versus another node with a slider, versus another node with the primaries, you can tweak each one individually to find the perfect balance - and therefore know how each layer contributed to the final image by turning the nodes on and off one at a time (ctrl + d, alt + d). There's also some more advanced techniques like colour space transforms, colour matching, and white balance, which are necessary to do without interference of other adjustments (highlighting the benefits of nodes). That gets a bit more in to colour correction versus colour grading, but I hope that helps give you the gist.

I'm sorry, but that's not what chiaroscuro means. Chiaruscoro is also know as 'lost edges'. It is when a part of the foreground is similar enough to a part of the background that the painter refrains from painting an edge in part of that area, thereby making the image more photorealistic. In paintings prior to Caravaggio they would always render each element a distinct,with clear edges all around.You get the same effect inphotography if part of the background is very dark and you don't lighten she shadow side or use a backlight on the shadow side of a person in the foreground. You see that a lot in The Godfather. Chiaroscuro also wwork with things that are bright. If the sky is very bright and the foregroud light side on a person is very high key, then you will lose the edge between that face's brigh edge and the background.
