I haven't commented on youtube in probably 5 years. i just spent 4 hours trying to solve this with "pro colorists" giving 15 minute "short" tutorials and you just solved this in 45 seconds. batta bing batta boom.

[@luizhribeiro]

Hahahhah thanks man! I appreciate your comment and support here on the channel! 🙏🏽

[@sunlit777]

yeah, and whats more amazing, is that Black Magic people stubbornly refuse to add this info to their 4000 plus pages manual.

[@DevinSchiro]

Just think....this video COULD HAVE been 11 minutes. But you actually respected my time. Bless you Luiz.

[@luizhribeiro]

Haha no problem at all! Time is money and I totally respect your time!!! So you can focus on other things! Thanks for the support

[@niclasstahl5256]

I’ve literally never commented on a KZbin video before, but in 30 seconds you solved an issue I’ve been watching 40-minute tutorials for with zero results. Thank you!!

[@luizhribeiro]

Haha thanks you so much this means a lot to me!! Please let me know if there is any other tutorial you might need! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@anthony_galati_art]

Dude. I've been trying to fix this issue for a year and a half. Your video did it!!! So simple.

[@luizhribeiro]

I am so happy to help! 🫡

[@anthony_galati_art]

@@luizhribeiro Do you have any advice on how to set color grading with 709-A? I looked at a project I made before where I brought a jpg in for part of it and I can see a clear difference when opening the original jpg in Preview, so this is not even a matter of app video color interpretation. I've hear those color bar images used as a way to correct but haven't tried that. It seems there must be a LUT somewhere to correct everything 100% to how it should be.

[@jamescohen]

Thank you VERY much! I was exporting so far 7 times and every time the colour was no where near what it showed in the timeline! Now it matches!!! I cannot thank you enough!!!

[@luizhribeiro]

No problem at all! 🫡 I am happy to support

[@luizhribeiro]

No problem I’m happy to work for you! Thank you so much for your comment and support to here on the channel!!

[@peperclipsfilms]

The method in this video worked for me after I changed some settings on the render page: -Go to Advanced Settings -Change 'Color Space Tag' to Rec.709 -Change 'Gamma Tag' to Gamma 2.4 That did it for me

[@beverlyteo9328]

this worked for me!! thanks so much

[@luizhribeiro]

Opa! Feliz que tenha dado certo! Muito obrigado pelo comentário 🫡

[@julienpierb]

Just a little correction. Don't put your timeline in Rec.709A, you are limiting the range of colours in which you edit. Put the Output settings in Rec709A. Your timeline should be in DavinciWideGamut (or whatever color space you prefer to edit in). But other than that, this was the information I needed after switching from PC to mac

[@luizhribeiro]

That is great to know!!! Thanks for the information I will definitely apply this and give it a try! 🫡 do you mind sharing your font of information so I can learn more as well?!

[@_FilmFuse]

Works for renders. But when i export stills im getting the same issue. Is there away to export your stills in the rec709A format?

[@steveharmancambridge]

Brilliant. Great video. One small thing, When I first tried the advice in your video it didn't work for me. Then I went bak and noticed that in my project, "Output color space" had a defined value of "Rec.709 (Scene)" - so simply changing the Timeline color space didn't have any effect . In your clip it shows "Same as Timeline" for the Output color space. The important part seems to be having Rec.709-A in the *Output* color space. Which was fine in your example as Rec.709-A was inherited from the Timeline color space setting anyway. hth someone!

[@mehvishr]

Hey, I film on s-cinetone and I just updated davinci and now all of the clips look really contrasted when importing them in davinci, on colour management it's set to Davinci yRGB and then Rec-709-A and in general use mac display is selected. Any tips would be really appreciated, thank you

[@eliasistevens]

Been looking for the answer for months, thank you for finally showing me the answer!!!

[@luizhribeiro]

Happy to help! thanks for the comment and support Elias!

[@sunlit777]

better use wide gamut for timeline colorspace, and leave rec.709-A for OUTPUT color space - this way you'll get more leeway for color correction and grading.

[@piernicolaarena9361]

Hi, i edit both on MAc and PC. Your solution is working for me ONLY on Mac. If i watch the exported clip on Mac everything is fine, but if i bring it to PC i get very contrasty and dark images. Do you know any solution?

[@lemaproduction8429]

[@paintingDreams]

Thank you brother, it works🙌

[@luizhribeiro]

Heyyy! I’m glad!!! No problem brother!

[@sunlit777]

the easiest way is to use Davinci YRGB color managed, and also tick "automatic color management" box. Then select rec.709-A as output colorspace (not timeline). And in any scenario if you suspect that something is wrong you need to go right-click on your media file and check if proper INPUT color space and INPUT gamma are selected - and for rec.709 files the INPUT gamma should be rec.709-A - it won't autotag correctly each and every time, so you need to be on the look out for that.

[@DaEssence7]

Bro! Thanks you resolved my problem. I was soooooo lost.. Thanks!

It works only if your audience is on Mac only. Other platforms see different image. Cullen Kelly adressed this in his recent video.

[@maxdragonshide584]

How do I make the video ebb btween light and dark slowly but continuously - example, light underwater or lighting from fire that continuously changes?

[@2kvideocreations]

Hi luiz...do these settings apply also for the Mac mini m1 with a non Mac monitor ? Thnx man

[@luizhribeiro]

I don’t think so because this is more for monitor the timeline BUT, you should try and see if it’s gonna change the color of your footage or not.

Hey Luiz! The colour got better after I made the changes. However, it is still not like the original.

Same here! Better, but not an exact match.

You need a calibrated reference monitor if you want it to look the same

[@kiransharbis]

Gracias Luis. Saludos desde Argentina

[@luizhribeiro]

Gracias!!! Me gusta Argentina!!!!

[@rafaviveros]

It works amazing! But I have a bigger problem, what if I already color graded the video and just noticed that I have to make that change to the computer, Is there an output lut or something I can do so I don't have to re color grade? Thanks again

[@luizhribeiro]

I don’t think so I had to do this when I learned as well. 🫠 because we change the colour style .

[@byjanm]

Coming from Premiere, this was making me crazy! You literally saved my life and my relationship with a client!

[@luizhribeiro]

Wow that makes me SO HAPPY man! 🤘🏽 I am glad to know that

[@terriusmykel8777]

ANOTHER USEFUL TOOL WHICH PRESEVERES MORE CONTRAST AND OVERALL LOOK: Deliver Tab > Video > Advanced Settings > Data Levels. Change this from Auto to Full and your render should preserve contrast that you graded. I just tried this and it worked.

[@Bonobo3D]

I am facing the same problem with my iPad pro 11 inch. However, I do not have the display specific settings. Is there any alternate option?

[@dianacabuto]

Do I do this Before starting to color correct? Can this be solved after I already did color corrections for rendering?

[@luizhribeiro]

I would recommend you to do this before start the color so you can see how it’s going to look on your final result. I’ve did that sometimes after I collate, and the colour had shift and I had to start hating all over again! So I would recommend to do it in the beginning!

Did you fixed, I see this works for many people in other videos as well, but for me doesn't work, I always work in Mac, love the work flow of DaVinci and the colors there but then I render and all my quality change, obviously is a subtile change, but is not what I see in my screen and that blows my mind...im working in payed version. please if you fixed let me know it'll be awesome

just to let you know I finally did it, in the time line, right click, timeline settings and since the timeline is not using project settings you need to do it manually in color from there. I hope it works for you.
