My life has been a lie I never knew this could be done on the color tab 🤯

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is getting pinned to the top

[@luucamNY]

Lol here I was thinking resolve was super difficult dealing with the edit tab thanks for the pin btw 😂

[@vOCesUGa1]

Thank you Sir!! Im moving in.....................or probably just go hide in a closet for now!!

[@edneijames]

Bro... I've really been learning a lot from your videos. Thanks so much for sharing these tips with us... People like me who are just starting out in DR and don't have the money to pay for courses, we're really grateful for it...

[@ofcsu1]

That adjustment clip just changed my life. I can't believe I've been doing each clip manually for so long.

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Glad to help! 👊✌

[@NabilSutjipto]

Kept forgetting that the adjustment clips are there!

Thank you Marcel. You are someone who really knows what he is doing with Da Vinci Resolve.

Thank you Marc!! 👊✌

[@eddielovelace7485]

So helpful... I'm a life-long musician trying to figure out working with video. I don't "think" video yet, and your lessons are helping me to figure out how to get a vision for a project. I'm so not there... but I appreciate your chill attitude and showing all the little things.

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

I am also a life long musician! Great minds think alike haha... I made the switch only about 6 years ago and have been in love with video ever since. I still produce a lot of the music heard on this channel and when a video job calls for something custom and/or specific but these days most of my time is spent in the video world. Enjoy the journey! You will love it

[@pearlmyghty2058]

Thank you Jeff! 👊 The Studio version is AWESOME! Best value for the price and it's just getting better

[@WillinovaTV]

Thanks Marcel. Learning alot from u again.

[@alex.muntean]

Cool! As a side note, you could grade clips together before the adjustment clip too. You just select the clips you want and put them in a group. Sometimes groups are more appropriate since you may have similar looking clips in different parts of the video. Thanks for making great content! 🤗

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Great advice Alex! Thanks for the comment bro ✌

[@0626love]

I love it! The only major thing that got my eye was when you softened your skin, you should mask out eye for that because skin looks even better in a contrast against something sharp, plus otherwise everything is washed out like a bad footage (I guess it works if we go for overall dreamy hazy look though :) ). But that is probably just what you'd do but couldn't fit in the video. Maybe the eyelashes can be masked out based on luminance only with a hard feathering, maybe not - but we would mainly need sharp hair at lashes and eyebrow. :) Maybe iris too, depending on the exact effect we want.

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Thanks you for the input musaire, I appreciate you taking the time to comment!... It is really all just art though, it's like one painter telling another how he should paint his personal work of art. That is what makes art great. All of us artists have different looks, feels, workflows and techniques that make us unique among each other.

[@0626love]

@@TheModernFilmmaker I agree.

Hey Marcel, I love your channel and your enthusiasm!! I learn a lot every time I watch your tutorials.... I have a few quick questions though... Do you select your camera profile in the "Color Management" of your project settings or do you grade from scratch? I don't have a camera which is on the list (GoPro Hero7 Black, mainly for filming underwater or in the air) How do I go about not having a colour profile for the GoPro? (GoPro is so widely used nowadays, why didn't they include it?) Greetings from Poland, Chris

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Thank you ask me, I really appreciate the kind words! I usually just start from scratch. Unless you are working with a particular color space like ACES or working with raw footage there isn't really a need to change any color management options.

[@Marc-mf5zd]

Sick tutorial love your enthusiasm! How do you do the transition glitch at 18seconds to 19 seconds? Every video who has these strobe glitch effect transitions seems to be using premiere. is there a transition pack to get this effect for davinci?

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Thank you Marc!! I like the way you spell your name, it's like half of my name 😂 ... I am planning to do a tutorial on glitches in Resolve and I will also make a transition pack to accompany the tut. Thanks again for the comment and encouraging words ✌

[@Yash143t]

your a magician in video editing. Dam good. btw what is the song in the video.

[@dancing_pictures]

hi marcel, what do you think about colorgrade with aces cc and cct in the colormanagement?

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

It really all depends on which display your videos are going to be seen on and work flow preference. I need to try and make a video explaining how I would use the different color management options. Thanks you for asking!

[@wangjunyun9326]

Hey bro, I'm watching some of your old contents and trying to learn something new here! And one quick question: what exactly did you do with that "qualifier" step before tracking the eye, what's the purpose of this step? would you please explain that real quick? thank you and have a nice day!

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

The qualifier was so to select the inside of my eye so I could put the clouds passing in my eye. Thanks for the comment! 👊✌️

[@aimersglobal2479]

Great tutorial man, do you have any tutorials for hlg3 pp sony color grading

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Thank you! I don't have any tutorials on Sony yet but I will soon!

[@buzkran_]

new sub here. thank you for those tips and videos. Quick question, do you use raw footage all the time? by the way, you have to start patreon or something cause this work worth more support.

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Thank you Targar! I typically use LOG footage

[@fearofnone2]

Sick video love the effect quick question I see in all your videos when you are in the color window you have the 3 windows across the bottom every time I go into resolve 16 it defaults to the 2 window view and I can’t find the option to change it any help would be dope !

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Thank you Paul!!! There is a menu at the top labeled "workspace" that should give you options to change the layout of the program UI

[@fearofnone2]

The Modern Filmmaker much appreciated keep up the great content you are really providing some great knowledge for all of us just getting started on our journey

[@geckoklaus]

Hi Marcel. Great Video. Could do a video where you show your approach how color grade video snipets that has different daylight or weather conditions to make the video not that harsh when the clip changed? I do sometimes some drone videos where I shot a video on two days with not pretty the same daylight conditions. Example: first shot, a drone circles over a boat and the second shot is from the inside with windows and sky in the background. On day one it was a bright sunny day and on the second shot it was as well but not really the same it is a bit more dizzy. Blue colors will not be the same. Do have any tips on that how to make both shot a bit similar?

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

This can be difficult at 1st but I will make a video. It is fairly simple once you know. Thank you for the comment geckoklaus!

[@cholasimmons]

8 Premiere users watched this 😂 Great vid Great tut Marcel You’re making me miss Resolve even more, but I’m in hospital right now

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Haha thank you Frank! Come back to the party man, I am sure Resolve misses you 👊✌

[@edneijames]

Hello my friend.. I would like to ask you if there is any basic workflow for color correction and color grading. For example: What do you always do and in what order do you make these corrections? If you already have the video, could you send me the video link, please? Thanks for your videos and for your help !!!!

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Thank you Ednei!! It really depends on the footage which is why I have so many videos on color grading and many more to come. When grading DSLR clips I generally follow this workflow kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGOug6Fnd91pj9U

By what standard r u color grading? We all know displays vary. Meaning, your display can be differently calibrated to mine, thus all colors will be off. I used to physically splice 2" tape to edit

[@seleemzid7881]

I just started learning davinci .. my question to u .. how long it take u to master this amazing app ??!

[@TheModernFilmmaker]

Hey Seleem! I came from the Adobe Suite and for about a year I only did my color grading with Davinci. Once I started making myself do everything in Resolve it didn't take too long to figure it out. They best way to learn is to just start using it, when you run into a road block find a tutorial on what you are trying to do and over time you will play the program like a piano.
