Stop Getting Cheap Looking Shots! Color Science Finally Explained

[@aarones4378]

Meanwhile, I'm here 25K into my college education and coloring has yet to be explained this way. Intellectuals take something simple, and make it complicated. Artists, take something complicated and make it simple. I thank and appreciate you good sir for making this sooooooooo understandable.

This is the best explanation about colour I've ever watched. I couldn't stop myself to subscribe your channel. Can I request you to make a video on the relationship between "Colour and Emotions". (I mean, how filmmakers use different colours in their movies to provoke different emotions.) Sincere thanks to you for providing this great information.

[@DrWasim]

One question I never seem to find answer to: Do you HAVE to shoot LOG (or other flat profiles) in order to colour grade and use LUTS, or can you grade footage shot in standard profiles as well? I am a Sony shooter.

[@noligrutas]

If you’re wanting to really push, pull and color your footage, then shooting in LOG is a must as it retains the most information. Test it out yourself. Shoot in LOG and see how far you can push color and exposure, then shoot in a standard color profile and try the same. The standard color profile is baked into the image and won’t allow you as much play until the image crumbles.

[@DrWasim]

Thanks for the great tips I have a quick question I have I Mac I use the right now to edit my videos and I would like to get an external monitor what would you recommend in the price range of 350 to 400?

[@colorgradingcentral]

Look for monitors that cover 100% or close to 100% of the color space you are working at. Rec709 for broadcast, sRGB for web, etc. Then look for the brightness of the monitor which is measured in nits. Technically for SDR grading you only need 100 nits but unless you are in an absolutely dark environment 100 nits are going to look very dim. Look for at least 350 nits.

[@lionroots11]

Dear Denver, once your Cinema Grade is out for Windows, can that be used for still images? I am a retoucher and I am highly impressed the way your Cinema Grade works on videos. Please confirm if the features shall work for photos and you might have a new customer out of me 🙂... between a great channel that taught precisely. All the best.

[@isaacescobar8977]

I don’t see why not. Seems as long as you can grade a still image in your software (I’ve done it in FCPX), you can certainly grade a still image using CG

Hey Denver, have you done any training on using Cinema Grade with HLG HDR video? I'm a noob with the whole thing and was super confused when I opened up the scopes in FCPX.

[@colorgradingcentral]

Inside Cinema Grade’s color management menu, inside display you can choose between p3, srgb, rec709 and rec2020, so technically you can work in HDR but I’m not quite sure how that interacts with FCPX or Premiere color management.

[@_Aditya_Rai]

[@thepermaculturevagabond6161]

I am on a Canon M50 and it doesn't have a Log profile. So I downloaded Cinestyle for it. But I can't find a corresponding colour space setting in Davinci. Which one should I choose?

Set target output to Rec709 or whatever you’re delivering to and then actually test the different input color spaces to see which one or camera gives you the best result.

I've found that V-log on my Panasonic S5 gets this magenta banding kind of thing once I apply the default conversion lut, sometimes it is noticeable without the lut. Another problem I have encountered is a green iris around my image when shooting in v-log however I think this is due to the vignette compensation.

That sounds more like a malfunctioning sensor than a color grading issue. Don’t try to fix it in post, get the camera checked out by a specialist or go thru the camera settings to see if there is indeed a setting that is messing with the image.
