[@smepable]

THE DP JOURNEY putting in your time was absolutely worth it. I think zhere are lot of color grading videos out there focusing on the software and functions while failing to give you an overview of the process and the steps and where in the process you would do for example that white balance correction etc. Next video i would like to see is about your lighting process and gear

[@BorisBerlin]

I totally agree... incredible workflow summary that I'm now implementing myself. I wished I had known a lot of this advice earlier as I've been reinventing the wheel (so to say) myself figuring out how to best grade in FCP but never came up with the idea to use multiple Adjustment Layers and didn't know they could be named. Thank you for sharing!

[@Gr3kiZon3]

100% knowledge, as usual. I do know this is "grading tutorial" neverless I'd highly recommend (only) mentioning the first part which is colour correction for a couple secs. Why? Simply because people buy LUT packs and throw them onto the timeline thinking this is a guarantee of everything looking similiar and as we know.. it's more often over-used. Ps. the sooner people move to nodes, the better. :) (coming from a guy that was addicted to Premiere)

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thank you so much buddy for your awesome support! Yeah I know, people do think LUTs are a 1 click make awesome solution! WHile in some rare cases it could be... if you're lucky. But in most cases you need to tweak things your way. Yeah in an ideal world, we would all be grading with a node based system :)

[@jmax9]

I'm a rusted-on FCPX user and slightly reluctant to dive into the world of Resolve. I've watched a bunch of how-to-grade videos and found them to be ok, but this is easily the most useful one I've seen. I battle the frustration of copying and pasting effects almost daily, so I can't wait to try out your method. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Really happy to hear that, this method will surely revolutionize your color grading techniques. Best of luck Max

[@terovisual]

Really appreciate your work and this tutorial. Nice to have explanations on why things are done the way they are. + the material you shot for this video is so well nailed in the shoot that the grade lifts it to new level. You don't have to spend time fixing things in post but to empower the look you made in the set. Super work! If you have time to go more in depth on the lighting and exposure, WB, makeup etc. you used in the shoot I would be glad to hear about it. Cheers!

Incredible. Had no idea layers functioned like this. I'll be returning to this video many times for reference. The timestamps are genius. Do you have any experience with leeming luts? I used it with HLG on GH5 alot. Recently I switched to natural with noise and sharpen at minus 5 for quick youtube video turnaround. However I'm considering using HLG as my log profile with leeming for client and narrative works

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Hey Jon, thank you so much for the support. Glad you found this video useful. Actually i never heard of "Leeming Luts", I was also thinking of experimenting with the HLG on the GH5. But havent had the time yet. Do you prefer it over the V-Log?

[@JonBear]

@@THEDPJOURNEY thank you for your reply. I use HLG simply because I haven't unlocked the vlog on GH5. Some people in the gh5 fb group seem to claim that HLG is even better due to added stops of dynamic range when converting using leeming luts. It could all be bs.

I've been binge watching your channel for almost an hour. Awesome stuff here. I had to hit the subscribe button. I have one question concerning adjustment layers. I was told many moons ago that adding a lot of video tracks makes puts more work on the CPU. I'm wondering if this could be a potential drawback to stacking effects the way you've shown here instead of placing most of them on one track where possible. That aside I like how you laid things out here. 👍

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thanks a LOT man for the kind comment and support. Happy to have you onboard! About the layers... I honestly havent tested it, but i strongly belive it won't make much of a difference unless you're adding like 50 of them. It all depends on what's in them, test it yourself if you want, cuz that depends on the machine. Try to export a video without layer, then stack 10-20 empty layers and export again. if you find a difference then it'd be your answer. I personally didn't feel anything

[@151ways]

Bro, you're the man.

[@NomaanHazarvi]

This is an incredible tutorial!! I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. Thank you :)

[@Birkkromann]

There's one crucial thing to remember. The LUT should always be the last node/layer. A LUT is a destructive adjustment, so if highlights clips, you can't recover them after that. So if you apply the LUT on the first node/layer and it clips your highlights or shadows, you won't be able to recover them in a later node/layer. Other than that I really enjoyed your video 😊

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Hey Birk, I didn't use the word "Destructive" as it's rather "Restrictive". Destructive is when you lose the information while still grading, but the info is still there for you to fix with layers under it. I surely understand what you mean though... That's why i was saying about having other layers below it to adjust the range you wanna work within, everything above is the range you're ok with. In the end this template is not a rule but a method that you can apply in the best way that works with your style. Thanks again for the contribution. Would love to hear from you again.

[@pocabromaproduccions2]

I LOVE your videos. I think that they are very stylish and informative. Good job! But there's something in this video that has a conflict for what I understood: that all the contrast and exposure tweaks had to be done BEFORE the lut, NEVER AFTER, because it breaks the quality of the image. I'm sorry I can not be more technical about that, but it makes sense to me and my workflow (that is so similar to yours). Thank you!

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thank you so much for the comment and your support! The Layers when have almost no effect on the speed or processor... the only think that affects that is what you load onto them. Maybe try to apply the same effects on the same clip using the typical method and see if it's still slow. Cuz both methods should pretty much match in speed or processing. Let me know

[@joyoffilming9500]

Love the layer concept, too. But instead o delogging per LUT i prefer working in Aces color space, making most of the flow much easier, with exception of true grading LUTS. But thee’s a nice workaround for this, too.

Amazing work! Seriously, inspirational. Would you recommend the GH5 instead of the Fuji xt3 or Sony a7 iii for cinematography? I just feel like the pixel quality of the gh5 is so much better than those two cameras. Is that just me? Also, looking forward to what the S1H can achieve.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

I haven't tested the Fuji, but i would surely choose the GH5 over the A7III. Mainly because the GH5's options and menus are tailored for filmmakers, while the A7 is more focused on the photography. Of course the GH5 is pretty bad when it comes to autofocus... So keep that in mind. yeah I need to get working ont he S1H review now...

Thank you, I have been watching a lot of your videos lately. I have one problem with this workflow.

I don't know if you mean, but if you do, do you have a solution for that?

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

I assume you use Premiere right? That might be more problematic there.. but on FCPX it works fine

[@javrri7212]

@@THEDPJOURNEY Thanks for answering! No, I use fcpx. I don't know if I managed to explain it right. Let say I have edited a project, and start to color grade, stack up layers on top like you do, that covers various amounts of clips. Then I notice something in the video that I want to edit out, so I quickly cut that out, this leads to the clip being shorter, but the layers on top won't be shortened, so this leads to the too long layers on top push everything askew. Also, if one of the layers I have on top spans over the whole project, the whole project needs to be rendered again. I don't know if this is some user error or if it is because fcpx doesn't have native support for adjustment layers.

[@jabaybay]

I have this LUT package but don’t see the LUTs you used in this video. Did you rename them or did I buy a different one? I bought the one for the Panasonic profile.

If you don’t have a choice then 8bit it is. In all cases 8bit is not that bad at all. If you check my other grading video kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5mcoIpnebKsiNU I was mixing 8bit and 10bit footage in the same music video.
