[@aransamson]

my main takeaway from this video is to actually watch what is on your footage rather than just the graphs. amazing video thank you

[@AlexBjorstorp]

Amazing how you in 12 minutes managed to show me how I’ve gone about all of this wrong. Those are definitely mistakes I’ve been making as a rookie filmmaker up until now. Thank you for taking me to the next level in such a short amount of time!

[@paulyiustravelogue]

This is a very important resource for beginners, highly recommended.

[@MePeterNicholls]

11:27 it’s good to be aware of the Zone system for looking at an image’s luminosity and contrast

[@mediamannaman]

This beginner really appreciates this video. Quite often I follow tutorials and do everything right, but don't truly understand, and the knowledge doesn't "stick." You explained the curves in a way I can understand (in fact, I feel stupid that I didn't figure this out on my own). I know that the topic was about scopes, but it really explained the curves perfectly. This knowledge will stick! What I learned: 1) The top point is the limit of the highlights and the bottom point is the limit of the shadows. Wherever I set these points, the highlights and shadows cannot go beyond them. 2) It's OK to move the top point and the bottom point (I didn't know that!). 3) Mid-tones are affected by pulling the line in the middle at one or more points. I'm sure there is much more to learn here, but just knowing that basic information really helps to get me started. Thanks!

[@samjarmin]

Great video, every beginner should watch this. Too many youtubers give tutorials using cinematic footage full of shadows and midtones and highlights , but that's no always realistic for everyday users - sometimes you may shoot video with very little in the way of shadows. So watching this video has helped immensely.

[@john2510]

Extremely helpful. I think a lot of us get caught up on following rules of thumb that should not be considered absolutes. As you note, it’s more art than science. While the tools and rules are important, I think final decisions should be based on the look and feel of the image. Thanks, again.

[@4thwalltvandfilm]

Thank you! looking forward to your cut page updates on the program.

[@redcarfarm1]

I love this channel, great info with no fluff

[@gerardomorales151]

EXACTLY!

[@aperezvoyages]

Looking at the footage for the visuals you want is more important than just whats shown in the graph. Thanks for the video man!

[@nickdambrosia2304]

Wow this was a VERY helpful video. I really appreciate your perspective on the color correction / grading process. at the end of the day it IS art. Thank you for this.

[@robertcallaway3821]

I needed to know this information. My warmest thanks to you.

[@Wimana868]

New Davinci user and came across your channel looking to learn and after a few vids you've got my sub! Great stuff and really easy to follow and understand

[@HunterWadeMusic]

Man, I've come back to this several times. Super helpful. What's tripping me up though is that when I adjust the color in gain after turning the lum mix to 0, adjustments on one color still affect the others. This is on a new note where the only other thing I've done is adjust the gamma down a bit. There is no added saturation or color boost or contrast or.. Still does it on a fresh node as well.

[@bebeboom2081]

Your lessons are golden. Basics and fundamentals that are actually very important foundations. Thank you for sharing

[@aarbol2]

Ive been looking for a good and quick video about color grading and this one was soooo amazing, I understood a lot and want to keep studying more

[@philemonjean-baptiste195]

This video is so breathtaking. I love how easy and simple you made it look.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

This just blew my mind! Thank you so much for your insight.

[@LaszloParkanyi]

Informative, simple, very useful. As always. Thank you!

[@nategordon]

Thank you! Great reminders and awesome examples. 🙏🏼

[@storyfirstfilms149]

ALEX, fantastic info as always - I'm a subscriber of your courses and highly recommend them, to everyone.

[@adventurersexplorers6077]

amazing, will definitely join the course one of the following days...

[@juliangallegos2204]

Best video ever!! He answered every question I was asking myself about scopes. Great job!!

[@KevinSubba]

Thank you… it is more clear now. I have watched so many tutorials and not even a single talked about this.

[@bewdeyeswhitedragon]

Thank you so much sir for the information. Really helped me in my log videos.

[@NaeimG]

Extremely informative and helpful. Thank you for this great information.

[@dsr0116]

So for most production, I am involved with 3d animation. However, I also am into photography and love cinematography. I am very familiar with dynamic range....and this video is exactly what I see about intro to histogram. You do have to first look at the image. If it's comprised of a dark scene, most values are going to be dark (or likewise light if the other way). Hence why many examples why a given image should not have a tonal range going from complete black to white.

[@blainemarcano]

This was amazing and well explained. Thank you for sharing!

[@UraFlight]

You are the best teacher for Davinci Resolves. I have bought the lessons from you back in April 2020 and they are awesome, helped me a lot

[@ononearts]

That was very helpful, and liberating too. Thank you.

[@prsearls]

That was excellent. I'm a beginner with video and Resolve; this really made sense to me. I can see I've made many mistakes in my feeble attempt to color grade. I'll check out your course.

[@Martindhoang]

This is so helpful! Thank you!

[@FelixFindsOut]

That was so helpful! And boy, does that talking head shot of yours look perfect, so I'm gonna trust you on the merit of that info.

[@studiosoul]

This was brilliant. One of the best videos on scopes on youtube. Thank you!

[@vancouverdiaries5955]

this video was really helpful, and I like your style of explaining, I could easily follow your thoughts.

[@MarkBlackheartVideo]

Thanks for talking about this stuff. It's super helpful.

[@EdwardKilner]

Clear and concise. Very well done. I learned a lot.

[@johncharles9005]

This was so useful. I always tried to stretch the whites to 100 and felt it distorted the image too much. Great informative video!

[@charlesteton]

So well explained and your talking head shot is nicely lit and graded. So often you see other ‘pro’ KZbin’s talk about ‘coloring’, grading in actual fact, the coloring is part of the DOP’s job, post is grading to match shots. Then they produce washed out video, probably from RAW, which have no true blacks whatsoever. Sorry for rant but I started out in 16mm and progressed to 35mm anamorphic as a cinematographer. Will look at your lessons as one never stops learning. Thanks, C

[@nigeldawson5960]

Very informative and educational. Thank you very much.

[@jeffmcdonald5259]

I learnt more in this short clip than in many other clips put together :) thanks

Awesome video. Whats crazy is I've watched this in the past and completely forgot all of this. Not sure why i did because color correction and grading is where i struggle most. This will change everything for me

[@ginotarabotto]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@firesightstudios5823]

You have a very interesting style, and I love your way of teaching. I am assuming you have taught classes in the past 😂 keep up the great videos. Very informative

Very informative, thank you!

[@BrianYator]

Never even knew I needed this info. Thank you man!

[@sajinsanthosh9536]

Finally soone who speaks in a calm way and getting to the point asap

[@sneakyghostfilms]

All great stuff. Mainly learned it by just remembering to keep in mind what the data actually means and what is actually in the image. Didn’t know about the Lumamix control. Also recently wondering if there’s an easy way to use the scopes just for a section of the image.

[@filmworkflowsuk8101]

Very clear and useful!

[@YoungLightOfficial428]

i'm so glad i found your video because i just got into color grading because i thought you had to always match the colors which is not always the case which alot of people think that you have to do always.

[@melvinesmith]

Great video, thank you!

[@facu_eze_peralta]

[@PinkyFingerPedalStrike]

Outstanding video, absolutely outstanding! 👏

[@apeel2008]

Very helpful. Thanks! I was not aware of the Parade Curve options? So should we always have Extents turned on and increase the brightness of the Parade curves? Why would you not want to have all the info displayed all the time.

[@iyaaaaaa6229]

Really helpfull tutorials. Helped a lot

[@neoterixx3440]

This is some highly valuable information. Thank you a million times ❤️
