"I don't want to waste your time" respect man, I appreciate people that go straight to the point.

[@Suyorukun]

I’m so glad you liked it! Thanks so much😊

[@geniferteal4178]

Said for a video that practically starts at 1 minute in. Sarcasm but true otherwise yes a good to the point video.

[@MotionPictureTrips]

I actually didn't see the intro as a waste of time, but added to the context, and it was interesting. @@geniferteal4178

[@Suyorukun]

Thank you so much for all the love! let me know what you guys want to know in my next tutorial:)

[@s3_build]

I've been color grading for a long time, only a year or so in Davinci and man are these DCTLs amazing. Thank you for creating this tut, your energy was very calming to learn too as well. Thanks again!

[@Suyorukun]

glad you liked it! thank you 😊

[@igetnoviews]

Can we get a link for the specific DCTL plugin you use? @@Suyorukun

[@ramanandh1261]

Yes i also wanted to ask same

[@maxdyomin]

Yes i also wanted to ask same

[@TOPDATAUZ]

You are not just giving us a tutorial, You are giving a realistic way of colorgrading with how you set up your youtube setup and other minor things. I really enjoyed the video even I am not into colorgrading that much.

[@Suyorukun]

thank you so much for your kind words. that means a lot!

[@Witless.]

Each person has their own art style I personally think it looks great

[@jr87signature]

Flipping heck!! It's been a long time since my jaw dropped from the precision of an artist at work on KZbin. I've watched three of your clips back to back now and Im in absolute shock!! The delivery, the thought, the explanations.... There's too much here to digest in one sitting, I've gotta re-watch it!! Unbelievable!!!! Thank you!! 😍

[@Suyorukun]

Thank you very much! That really means a lot 😊

[@MrXeixaz]

I've watched hundreds of tutorials for color grading and davinci and I've never comment on any, but yours truly is a masterpiece. Straight to the point and explain very relaxing. Respect for you!

[@Suyorukun]

I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks so much😊

[@cozyluvjo8104]

dude knows what hes doing when it comes to every second of this masterpiece of content

[@GUTTYWOMACK]

I genuinely appreciate you making this exact video with what you explained here. Everyone else makes this explanation SO MUCH HARDER to understand. Thank you!

[@Suyorukun]

Glad you liked it! Thank you so much😊

[@danielhanson8441]

love watching different peoples workflows when grading, by far one of the best vids ive seen in a while

[@Suyorukun]

Thanks a lot! 🙏

[@EricTexSmith]

Man I just came across your channel 2 days ago, and i'm so glad i did. Thanks for the effort you put into all your videos and also your tutorials. The part i love most is the very ending where you show a BTS of everything. That helps me on my own journey just seeing how other creatives put together their videos. Much respect

[@Suyorukun]

I appreciate your kind words! thank you and welcome😊

[@StefanRingelschwandtner]

Thank you for showcasing my DCTL tools on your KZbin channel! It's exciting to see them in action and being valued by others.

[@ekphotography]

Your Plug in looks pretty cool, what is the website?

[@ekphotography]

@@StefanRingelschwandtner OK Myabe I was looking at another site.. is your Nx Color? When I searched for DCTL's serval websites have popped up.. I edited my comment by the way. Is it called Color Twist?

[@FilthyBadger]

@stefanringelschwandtner your DCTLs are second to none. Great to see you on Darren’s masterclass last week👍

[@Suyorukun]

Thank you for making all the amazing tools!! ❤️

[@KevinOtterness]

Hello! Which DCTL Pack is being used here in this video? Looking to purchase. Thank you!

[@TheQxY]

A lot of these look better in Rec70. Many of them have this weird bloom going on after grading and 'the secret sauce', and a lot of them are also way too contrasty, in some of them it even messed up the colours and creates some really unnatural skin tones.

[@Suyorukun]

Thanks for your honest opinion!😊

[@TFANF]

Wow those all looking so good. I’ve never been so impressed in one video before.

[@Suyorukun]

Glad you liked it! Thank you so much😊

[@Andwack]

I don't use Davinci but this is super helpful! It's always good to absorb new information from amazing creators and artists! 本当ありがとう！ I'll be moving to Japan next month! Exciting!

[@Andwack]

Also I might add, that Setup is the best thing ever! Is it a pocky, teapot setup? haha

[@Suyorukun]

Thank you so much and welcome!😊

The ending just blew my mind. On camera setup looked sick but yet you’re using stuff around you for diy. Its refreshing to see I’m gonna try this grading too, tutorial was simple

[@Suyorukun]

glad you liked it! thank you very much😊

[@paytonsample]

this is so good! i just got into color grading after using premiere and I first love the intro showing the grades and second the tutorial. it wasn't super complicated with 50 nodes and you explained everything without just turning sliders for no reason

[@Suyorukun]

Glad you liked it! Thanks 😊

[@monarchi_ves7013]

pls never stop putting those cam settings details on the bottom i love u for it

[@Suyorukun]

Thanks a lot! 🙏

The fact that you went out of your way to share with us for FREE is just...i have no words...thank you so much. !

[@Suyorukun]

Thank you very much!😊

[@timlinke_dop]

to create split toning I've found the RGB Mixer to be an amazing tool. I've built some really interesting teal and orange looks among others. Compared to the qualifier or the HSL curves you won't have to worry about any artifacts since you're pretty much recalibrating the channels your image is made of. After that I often use HSL and color wheels to dial in the look. You're doing amazing work! Keep it up!

[@Suyorukun]

thanks so much for your tips!

[@gimfilmz2668]

I love this, man!! Would love to see more color grading tutorials from you❤❤

I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks so much😊

[@CJ-uh8bk]

It's actually incredible how intuitive color grading is in Davinci once you wrap your head around it by practicing, amazing piece of software.

[@Suyorukun]

totally agree!

[@FamJammers]

Wow! you are a genius Color Grader! Love how you have mastered your technique so good. Could you talk a bit about the film process and what specific gear you used?

[@Suyorukun]

glad you liked it! thank you and will do! 😊

[@Mustang8ify]

@@Suyorukun It is beautiful, and I will gush like everyone else...wow. However, I see convert to rec 709, a flash of Sony...what...what were your initial settings in color transform? I realize it's not your job to put out step by step tutorials, but I have have no idea how you got to rec 709. Just sayin....are you selling or teaching...hard to tell.

Parabéns pelo vídeo ficou muito legal. As cores que você fez são lindas. Eu curto muito trabalhar com cores, esses tons mais cinema eu gosto mesmo, sempre temos mais a aprender. Já me inscrevi. A, legal cenário, da trabalho mesmo, resultado muito top.

[@zephaniahcarter6134]

I like how fast your going but as a beginner this video isn’t beginner friendly at all, it’s a bit to fast for use, your change node without saying, no nodes are named nothing is coherent

[@Separade]

The level of his work is so far away of anything „beginner“ it wouldn’t even matter if the video was 3x longer. Be thankful as this video is pure pure gold. So stop complaining and watch whole guides about DR.

[@FlyEnri]

So good !! Amazing results !

[@Suyorukun]

Thank you 😊

[@WasabiNoise]

Thanks for the tip on the black shadows. I knew I was missing something as I also like the look of blueish dark areas while keeping the darkest as black as possible.

[@Suyorukun]

Thank YOU!

[@ReadoneMohamed]

I can't remember having seen a Color grading tutorial with that much insight. The value given in this video is insane. Especially when you tell people what to look for, what to avoid and stuff, and how to make use of these graphs. Personally I am editing for years and still have basically 0 clue about color grading. I am doing mostly video game edits. So I felt that there was no need or time to grade stuff much. But now I am thinking that I should spend more attention to that!

[@Suyorukun]

I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks so much😊

[@RunNGunPhoto]

*Whooaaahhhh there buddy, dial back the Teal & Orange about 9000%* ... You can just slap an over-saturated CiNeMaTiC LUT from any of the KZbin video bros if you're going for such a crunchy look.

i love it though🥹

[@JC1Carpenter]

Not sure if this has been covered but in case it hasn’t: Screw a strong metal specific bit (small diameter) into the middle of the broken screw. You don’t have to go deep at all. Then use pliers to turn to back out the screw. All best

[@Suyorukun]

Thanks so much for your tip!!

Unnnnbelievable!!!!!

Using parallel nodes and boosting the saturation of the orange then using your qualifier to select the orange bits give you a cleaner result.

Thanks for showing your workflow of color grading! The results do look amazing! I don't know if you're already able to get the screw out, but if not, there are several ways to achieve that. I think the easiest and most non-destructive way is to glue a metallic object onto the screw and then screw it out.

Great video! Bonus for using DCTLs to adjust colors. Its so much better and more precise than trying to use Resolve's selective color tool. Also quick tip, instead of using 709 converts, if you use Davinci Wide Gamut to Rec. 709 gamma 2.4 in Color Management, you'll see better highlights preservation, recoverability, and smoother roll off.
