My COLOR GRADING Process in Davinci Resolve 18 | Step by Step Tutorial

[@ReggieABrown]

the color contrast with the offset and gamma was a pretty good tip!! i'll find ways to implement that into my work flow.

[@moonbowb]

That’s awesome thank you 🙏🏻

[@marclevy8323]

I have been looking for someone who teaches color grading without the use of LUTS and I found it from your channel. DUUUUDEE!!! the OFFSET and GAMMA contrast is such a surprising tip I didn't know I need --can't believe the look and vibe I can create with your process without heavily relying on LUTS

[@moonbowb]

Can you share how you set up your Slog3 profile? For example: White Balance/ Black Level/Black Gamma/ Saturation/ Color Phase/ Color Depth/ Detail... Thank you so much.

Wow, your video color is amazing!!!

Thank youu 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥳

[@yveslutundula]

Please check out CST workflows which use DWG and ACES, your method works with 1 clip but it is not practical with multiple clips.

[@yveslutundula]

Oh I forgot to add, great work by the way, we can all see the growth on your latest videos. If you can master IDTs,RRTs,DRTs and ODTs you will have so much more control on getting the image exactly where you want it to be.

[@EvanderYunsin]

Nice and easy tips bro! I love how simple your workflow is but yeah color is not something easy to learn. Thanks for the tips!

[@Deiverson.SZCSTA]

Como posso chegar a esses efeitos sem ter a versão paga do DaVinci? Outra coisa, que efeito ou efeitos gratuitos posso utilizar para simular o Halation (já que ele é da versão estúdio)?

[@allenpayne9182]

You should set your timeline color space to Log. Output color space to rec709.

[@moonbowb]

@@KasePrince thank you 🫶🏻

[@yeshwanthchowdary5269]

Great explanation ❤ How to save it as preset ?

[@moonbowb]

On the color tab go to upper left corner. There is a icon right under stills. Click that and you will see power grades. Right click on your footage, grab still and save it there. Now you can use it fot your future projects.

[@denizozdemir7793]

hi, aren't we suppose to keep the "skin color" in mind? Because sometimes I want to increase the saturation or other features but then the skin looks more orange than it is. What should we do then? Great video btw.

[@moonbowb]

Thanks 🫶🏻 and of course we need to pay attention to skin tones. You can create a node parallel to the look node and use a qualifier to select the skin. This way you can maintain the skin tone. This was a very basic tutorial so I didn't go into detail on this 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@SoundChaser_]

What if I have no idea what camera a photo was taken with?

[@ericcochrane879]

awesome tutorial, thanks so much man!

[@kstalk09]

why do you put the CST node after the three preceeding nodes? Would'nt it make your whole grade wacky by grading the non transformed footage BEFORE putting it in the right color space? (I've just never seen this method before, even from guys like Cullen Kelly, Alex Bjorstorp or even Darren Mostyn, historically ALL THE VIDS I'VE EVER WATCHEED on this topic ALWAYS put the CST as the very first node and the very last node.)

[@moonbowb]

@@kstalk09 Since they work on Davinci wide gamut color space, they first convert to widegamut and then convert to rec709. My way is actually a much simpler version.I also have videos where I use that workflow you mentioned.

[@trmedia-ie]

This is incorrect, if you put the CST at the beginning of your node tree, then all following nodes or nodes "downstream" will be affecting the already converted Log->Rec.709 image, so you will have a lot less flexibility because they are affecting a rec.709 image rather than a Log image with a lot more data.

[@kstalk09]

@@moonbowb i actually figured this out shortly after posting, but thank you for your reply. I get that it's already log for the first 3 nodes, but why not first convert to Davinci Wide Gamut and do all the colour correction in an 'enhanced' colour range, and then finally convert to 709 in the final node?

[@MagicBiscuitShow]

Good stuff. The scopes and the image looks as if you're crushing the blacks, though. Cheers from Jacksonville, Florida

Ellerine sağlık reiz. Bir sorum olacaktı bu kamera özelliklerini nerden bilebiliriz? Bende GoPro 11 var ama bunun özelliklerini bilmiyorum gama vs. senin seçtiğin. O konu hakkında yardımcı olabilir misin ❤

[@moonbowb]

Sağolasın bro🫶🏻 sony kameralarda picture profile kısmından görülebiliyo bu ayarlar. Goproda tek bir ayarı var diye biliyorum. Color picture profile kısmından flat ayarını seçiyosun.

[@sanalgerceklikdoktoru]

@@moonbowb rica ederim. şey o konuda değil,bu senin color space seçimini kastettim. biz goprocular ne seçmesi gerek? sony değil sonuçta. baska yerde cinema log bilmem ne gama2.4 secilmiş. herkes goproya bu ayar olur mu vs demiş. ne yapmam gerek? bir diğer sorum: bu ayarları yapmak için hep flat mı çekim yapmam gerek? normal/naturel ayarı olursa olur mu gene? sığacık gopro videom var bi ama çok düz renkler, öylesine beleş lut kullandıydım 😄

[@moonbowb]

Gopro colorspace i rec709 diye biliyorum. Ama Ona çok takılmadan, Standart renklerinin üzerinden diğer ayarlarla da güzel renkler yakalayabilirsin👍🏻

[@sanalgerceklikdoktoru]

@@moonbowb teşekkürler. inşallah şu sinematik renkleri yakalayabilirim sonunda. peki farklı sahneler için farklı ayar mı yoksa bu bir görüntü üzerinden aynı ayarı diğerlerine uygulasak olur mu aynı renkler olması adına? çünkü onlarca videoyu müzikle editleyip paylaşmayı düşünüyorum

[@akku_ed]

Hey, if you don't mind, can you tell me how much you earn from video editing and when you started video editing, how long did it take you to get your first client?

[@moonbowb]

Hii, yes of course. I have been doing video production for about 6 years. I started right after university with unpaid jobs then I got my first paid client in a year. I can’t say how much I make exactly because it depends on the project.

Not bad ... but you need to take attention to your shadows ... the black areas are already clipped out.
