Bro, I studied Cinematography on a Film School in Barcelona and I am currently working as Spark in movies and tv shows. My thing is light and everything envolved. I am currently studying lighting architectural desing because it is another subject i would love to develop myself in. Whatever, the thing is that I make videos sometimes for myself or small personal projects beyond my current profession (spark). I gotta say that the way you explain all related with color grading and "styling" a shot is near perfection. No egos, no arrogant words... Just a smile in your face and the desire to make people explore their own styles and personality beyond your method. The emphasis on telling that there is no one way of doing things. Even telling that your own mind change opinions depending on the day. Quick, useful and positive class of Davinci Resolve. My congratulations.

Awesome tutorial!. Very helpful. But i was wondering at around 6:20, why you use the log wheels instead of the primary wheels to change the colors. Is it more subtle?

[@smitholu1419]

[@risperl9388]

Thank you for the great video. Finally you said about digital sharp effect that our cameras have. And the way we can fix it is with blur. Nobody said that before. I was wondering how to make a video look filmish 😂Now I know. My camera doesn’t have log so I wonder how to give my m50 mark ii film look in color grading. I guess first step is blur then film luts, but what color space transform should I use it to make it flat then color grading?

Hey can i ask you a question? Lot of videographers in my area use sony 10 Bit cam for shooting and they dont use pictureprofile instead they use light inside creative style. So my question is what will be the input CST for these kind of footage?

[@raujota]

[@AsaK93]

how would you order these if you are grading a group? would you put all of these nodes in pre-clip then do individual adjustments on clip??

[@trunghieu9xtb]

ths bro ❤

[@XonTheOne]

hey Joris, do you know a fix for the stuttering Timeline every time i move he playerhead ?

[@jer3006]

Wonderful! 9 nodes was enough to get me in the flow of what you were doing. Look out- I think I might be catching on to Resolve, thanks to you. Your videos seem to walk a precarious line where you involve enough features but limit the detail so that it balances some learning without burying me. EG, you don't discuss every setting in the Inspector, thank you very much. I appreciate you bringing me along in Resolve. PS, enjoyed the Halation explanation and example. I had no idea what that was.

[@JorisHermans]

Have someone show you 75% of how it works and find out the rest yourself. That's how I learn the most 💪🏻💥

Hello, is it possible to download this project for practice?

[@ashutoshprasad4893]

Hello sir, Can you please make a video on the color accuracy of video through various screens (i.e. Windows, Android, and Mac ios). I work on windows os I exported a video from Da Vinci resolve using Rec709 - A colorspace and it looks slightly different on mac os in terms of greens and blues mostly when the color profile of MacBook m1 air is set to COLOR LCD. I tested this thing with many youtube videos the results are the same. But when I changed the MacBook m1 air color space to Rec. ITU-R BT.709-5 or sRGB IEC61966-2.1 the colors were mostly the same as viewed in Windows or any other Android devices. I searched a lot about this - > Which is the correct color space and gamma tag to export from Da Vinci Resolve? > Why there is a difference in colors among Apple devices, windows devices, and Android devices when all are properly color calibrated? > Which color space settings are best for Mac displays so that one video would look the same on Windows or mac display? > Best way to learn these things (i.e. color space, color profile, export color settings) so that we can have the same colors through multiple devices? Please make a good explainer video on this as there is no as easy or trustable resource to gain this information learn about it. I think it is a bigger problem because everyone teaches color grading but does not address this issue at all. This is a bigger issue for all the beginner colorists when working with clients as the colors look a whole lot different on their screens. Thank you so much. Love your content and videos.

[@sos-films]

You sir are a genius. Cheesey jokes, but hey they work. Thank you for this great advice

[@nicholastamas1204]

might be a new question, but when you go to "select color" you have the option of picking on a color wheel. mine just looks like a normal photoshop color picker. how do you enable the other color selection options?

[@TONKRainpawit]

Wooiwwwwww🎉😂❤

[@vivemusmotivation]

How did you add a duplicate node of the first clip?

[@photosbycez5012]

Do you guys know what font was used?

[@VintageInsightPhotography]

This video is gold(en)! 🤣 Really helpful. One thing I never see in DaVinci Resolve tutorials is how to replicate the adjustments (node tree) to the other clips in the timeline. I often have 100 or more clips, anywhere from 2 seconds to 2 minutes in a timeline, often shot with multiple cameras. Do you have a quick and easy method for this? Is it as simple as selecting the nodes and doing a copy & paste?

[@JorisHermans]

👉🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJPaYq2Bdpt5opI

[@stopthecap1]

I place those clips below an adjustment clip, which carries all of the nodes and effects. That way, multiple videos are affected at once without having to copy/paste the nodes for every individual clip

[@JorisHermans]

@@stopthecap1 Yes, also this 👆🏻 Adjustment clips are🔥 💯

[@Filmmakers_N]

Hello, is there any way to remove previously installed effects? From the Effects section of Davinci? Completely remove them from the program?

[@JorisHermans]

Go to the Fusion page first, then to the Effects tab and now if right-click on an effect, you can choose "Show Folder"... and then just delete the file. But you have to go to the Fusion page first, doesn't work in the edit page.
