OMG that brush technique is AMAZING! I see everyone else still painstakingly trace dot by dot!!! YOU'RE A BIG TIME SAVIOR!!!

[@CarlCulpepper]

Nice! Quite a transformation from the original clip. It really elevated the image to a whole new level. Thanks for sharing your process!

[@DanielPeacocke]

This was really detailed. Loved it! I need to try this sometime! It seems really really useful for situations where you can't light the foreground subject! Thanks Joo!

[@callumleakfilms]

You can do this pretty easily in Davinci, it might even save you some time. You can highlight certain areas on separate nodes and manipulate them in the same project.

[@JooWorks]

Callum Leak so that would be done with the mask trackin, function, rigth? Mask tracking in Resolve seems to be faster.

[@HowYouKnowDrew]

Bro this information is extremely valuable. Thank you so much.

[@FlyingJackalope]

Way to go Joonas! Another great one.

[@Objrevs]

This is a neat technique. I'm going to try to see if the same can be done using Motion and FCP. Thank you for sharing.

[@JooWorks]

objrevs report back if you fiqure out how to do this with those softwares.

[@Ajoddom]

Would love to know as well if there's a way

[@JavierMercedes]

great video and I love your setup

[@SebastianForssman]

Really awesome. Great tips there Joonas!

[@bentheremedia3011]

Thank you so much for this! Very creative approach. I like to try and solve problems in my head as I go to see how my approach would be different and at the beginning of the video I thought you were going to take an HDR approach where you blend 2 clips together (one exposed to the highlights and one exposed to the shadows). I've seen this done with photos but not with videos. Your approach was very unique and I loved it! Thanks for sharing!

[@JooWorks]

V-log has more DR than rec709 can show so V-log is already like having two exposures. I once started to do a tutorial about exposure blending two shots, but it ended up being a bit too complicated. But hmm... you are correct this could work for that. :-D

[@bentheremedia3011]

I've never actually tried it so I have no idea if it would make it look muddy or not but I really like your approach! Very clean and it gives you so much control over the final image.

[@LukeSherran]

Awesome, thanks Joonas!

[@anti-classist]

thanks a lot I learned a lot to be honest... but Seems like it's easier to light properly and use a different camera... ? This was a 2 second clip and took super long to color grade.

[@AndrewGoodCamera]

Wow! What a difference before vs after.

[@eirjordan337]

Awesome tutorial Joonas! It felt like what a 2018 version of a Bob Ross paint along with me would be like =)

[@TheTravelersPlanet]

Wow you are talented! Good job man

[@mrjonkane]

I'm picking up so many little tricks on every video.. nice one man! ;)

[@Sevphotography]

Great info thanks how the hell do you use the trackpad not a tablet of mouse??

[@MuwexTech]

Pretty much work for short clip, but ofc if get paid enough and so on, this is usefull. Will try to remember this Technic if needed. Wish there could be some automated script for this :D

[@mr.tcheck1570]

pls joo i need your luts please i love your works how cant i do do get the luts

[@Deathbynature89]

That's not cheating, it's basically the workflow of DaVinci Resolve. Nice work though.

[@JooWorks]

Deathbynature is there a similar function in resolve for rotoscoping? I have not seen that. Can you share a link or... I'll just ask google. Thanks for the tip.

[@JooWorks]

Do you mean to use planar tracking to rotoscope elements manually? I don't simply have patience for that. :-D give after effects a try on this one. Rotobrushing so much faster. I guess fusion migth have something similar.

[@JooWorks]

Jay Warrior So there I similar rotoscoping function or just the planar tracking? I can only find planar tracking videos.

[@denzelvanlent7031]

Joo.Works davinci is way easier for this, also I would just use a circle on the skintones and track that

[@JooWorks]

Jay Warrior yes, but it's still unclear are you talking about the "draw a mask and track positoin, scale, rotation & pespective" -function or is there a proper rotobrush tool? In Ae you have mocha tracking extention that you can do the same thing. It's faster for moving shots, but you can't cut between pixels and you need to add feathering to make it blend and then you migth introduce halos. I bet that resolves tracking is faster, it's really great.

[@AcuraAddicted]

What kind of sorcery is this?

[@silklion7375]

I have a question, if a have a scene in Premiere and I want to color grade the entire scene, how would you do it? Replace all clips of the scene with AE? But then they become a composition and Im not flexible in the timeline anymore. Would you replace clip after clip? Then I cant watch it as an entire scene while color grading in AE. What would be the most professional way?

[@JooWorks]

I do my colour in premiere pro. If .I want to do it in AE, I'll open the sequence in AE. It will open it up automatically as a AE-sequecnce.

[@silklion7375]

@@JooWorks Thank you. Im just very confused when you replace an entire sequenz with many clips into a composition in AE, all the clips become only one composition in Premiere. So you can't cut in Premiere anymore. You could but it doesnt make sense if many clips become one clip. We had to do that for university and I was confused why we were not allowed to WB and color grade in Premiere. But anyway thanks and we are still waiting for a video about the G80, G70 or GX85 and what settings you would use (cinelike D, natural, higligts +/-, etc.) And how you would collor grade it. Panasonic told me the colors between GH5 and my G80 (some places 81 or 85) are different. Alot of People have this cameras and they would be happy about such a video from you! Your videos are very good!

[@joselius3694]

Do I need a super pc for this?, what’s the minimum I can get to start working on my edits on a low budget

[@JooWorks]

If you use fcpx it's very optimized so a low-end MacBook can even edit video. On premiere, if you edit with proxies, a slow computer works just fine as well.

[@noudb96]

You'll need a minimum of 8GB RAM to work properly on your edit, anything above is always better! (ofc)

[@shibufilm]

nice work joo

[@JonathanNinnin]

You can use track mask directly in premiere without having to go in after effects, it works like a charm ;-)

[@JooWorks]

What kind of computer do you have? On my macbook pro it's slow as... And if you wanna track masks as exact as rotoscoping... it will take ages. :-D But for not so accurate correction tracking masks is good option.

[@JonathanNinnin]

Joo.Works works well on my mbp. Usually for interviews I just do a track mask with feather, doesn't need to be completely exact. But yeah, for highproduction result you'd have to use after indeed!

[@laurentiudll]

no offense but macbook pro cant handle real stuff. mobile grade gpu and cpu..

[@christophershivers6257]

wait why didn't you press space and let it do it automatically?

[@baorichard4345]

i Think we can also achieve this by using masking? by screen out the figure in the foreground and color grade them separately.

[@IslandFilmMaker]

Thx for this interesting lesson... you always teach me something new :)

[@SteveT__001]

Thanks for an interesting technique, as soon as my new computer arrives I shall give it a go. looks like I may have to bite the bullet and buy VLog

[@AquaticImages]

Great tutorial!

[@matthewnguyen37]

the rippled delete you did at 1:53, is that a custom shortcut ?

[@JooWorks]

Yes. I set it in the keyboard shotcuts.

[@davet8618]

do you have a course for sony cameras getting the best color out of them ?

[@JooWorks]

Actually yes: joo.works/sonymethod :-D

[@ricardoucr]

Greetings from Costa Rica. Very nice video.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Excellent video. Thanks for these tips.

[@mariodquiroz]

You dont have to render again the video without the background, just save it and it will be on your Premiere project, always you can have the clip with the background in premiere

[@JooWorks]

Mario D' Quiroz sure. It's a good idea, but then colour correction is much slower. At least on my mac book. I guess on aFaster computer it doesn't matter.

[@mariodquiroz]

Makes sense PS: I love your videos, keep going with advanced stuff, most youtube turorials are basic as fuck!

[@asyamsyafiqMD]

this is awesomw ! I have question, in gh5, we possible to record video in 8 bit and 10 bit, can you explain to us whats the different between them? thank you..

[@JooWorks]

8 bits or 10 bits just tell how many possible colour/luma values each pixel can get. In some situations, for example shooting v-log 8 bit doesn't give enough options for different possibilities of colour/luma -values resolving into blocks of similar values (often magenda and green) and visible banding or odd compression artefacts (colour noise for example).

[@carolineandtigger]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. What piece are you playing on your piano?

[@JooWorks]

Hmm... I only can play single notes with the piano, but maybe I can shoot my friend playing it. Shes really good.

[@germansmirnov7090]

Great tutorial, thanks !

[@VishnuAttiappan]

This is a good piece of tutorial.

[@Crayip]

Why not just simply crank up the shadows instead of using de mask tool and and turning up shadows midtones and highlights in the HSL section?

[@GruberAG]

Sick skils!

[@selfscience]

I didn't like the grade but the separation technique is fantastic. Thanks.

[@JooWorks]

Good I was able to help anyhow.

[@imiy]

Why don't you make it all in After Effects?

[@JooWorks]

Imiy F. Hmm... I guess you can... premiere is much faster on my computer to do colour correction. If I stack all kinds of effects premiere can still play back when AE will take few secons per frame.

[@imiy]

Joo.Works i have the opposite problem. Premiere may just stop responding, but After Effects keeps rendering frames (even if slowly). Maybe because there's no dedicated GPU in my computer

[@sonumathewvj]

That was awesome.

[@karlguld5168]

DUDE! You are insane! Can we get the LUT you applied? "Two strip #2"

[@JooWorks]

Siberion sooner or later mate. :-D

[@SoftwareAnalayst]

This technique (rotobrush) is not efficient if your subjects are moving. In this example its easier coz the main character is almost not moving

[@JooWorks]

SoftwareAnalyst true that. It's much more work to track moving thing or when stuff passes between the subject and the camera.

[@Shawn_Kelley]

Nice! Thank you.

Super impressive

[@deanwcphillips]

This is awesome. Sadly I only ever shoot in the Sony Cine profiles

[@JooWorks]

Dean Phillips give it a try. And s-log has much more dr than v-log-l. This shoold work even better with it.

[@23shogo]

This is very helpful tutorial for me, Thank You ! poland

[@henriquefgirardi]

oh god I did not know after effects could automatically make the mask. thank you!

[@IvanUrusov]

Thank you so much!

[@mrmooor453]

Nice work nice video

[@lengyeladrian1]

YOU ARE A GOD SIR !

[@JyrkiS]

Fix it in post, I like what I hear!

[@chrismorenomccarthy8487]

damn dude, thas pretty, share those luts please

[@davinadinata1573]

Thank you jonas! This video really help me to do the color grade! Subscribe guys!

[@baorichard4345]

that desaturated look also call bleach bypass look in some davince resovle tutorial.

[@guilhermecosta9489]

Yeah nice one!

[@alfianjamil7532]

Awesome

[@samgoldward]

Just use davinci Resolve lite its free and you can do exactly this in a about 2 seconds

[@JooWorks]

Sam Goldward you can track masks, but is there proper rotoscoping tools? Fusion migth have.

[@samgoldward]

Joo.Works you don’t need rotoscoping tools when dealing with colour as you can selectively mask everything you need to effect the davinci does the animation perfectly for you also your work flow would become incredibly difficult once theres and complicated movement in the shot.

[@JooWorks]

That is true, rotoscoping is pain in the ass with moving shots. Premiere pro's track mask is super slow so I have been using AE for this kind of work. I rarely use Resolve, but maybe the tracking is faster on resolve than in PR.

[@samgoldward]

Joo.Works yeah do your normal edit workflow in Premiere then once you have the clips assembeled just export all the clips as xmls and import into davinci its quite quick do your grade and masking then export the clips bring it back into premiere and finish you edit especially if you shoot with a gh5 your grades will be so much easier to control in davinci and get the results you want

[@JooWorks]

Sam Goldward thanks for the tip.

[@MaxTeste]

the bubble is off

[@MrMadvillan]

track pad editing haha. If I was a client or director id be pissed 😆

[@2000Blup]

I mean yeah... if you want to spend 30 mins grading just 5 seconds then yeah... this works I guess

[@bilalrahim5824]

Ur color grading is damn awesome but it is only for gh5 ? Bcz i have canon 🤔

[@RumleKjaer]

It's for all cameras

[@bilalrahim5824]

Lovely then i will definitely try this

[@JooWorks]

The thechnique is better if you have wide dynamic range, but I would still try it out on canon.

[@chocokrispisconleche]

Nice video, but I think this is counterproductive, the amount it took you to do less than a minute is just not worth it.

[@JeremiahBostwick]

That is entirely dependent on the project you're doing. If you're trying to do bi-weekly 15 minutes VLOGS, then yeah, this technique is probably not for you. But if you just spent 30-90 days shooting a production, then you're going to spend the time to make every image look as good as it possibly can. Context is everything.

[@philbecker432]

This technique may also be a great way to key Green Screen footage What do you think? :)

[@JooWorks]

Phil Becker hmm... maybe not if you have actual greenscreen, but if you don't this could be an alternative. Greenscreen keying is like 100times faster. :-D

[@jimiernola8540]

after all that work i wouldnt call it cheating :D

[@JooWorks]

Hard work is the ultimate cheat!

[@irynay3590]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@KrisAdamsTV]

I will take you seriously when you start using FCPX. Not because it's better, just because it's convenient for me. Thanks for the video though. It totally makes me want to join the Adobe bandwagon. I almost hate you enough now to unsubscribe.

[@JooWorks]

Kris Adams TV You are funny. :-D I did try fcpx and I like how fast it is, but Premiere is more for my enginer mind because you can do things so many different ways... but the crashes!!! if they keep on getting more frequent I'll switch.

[@CodakChris]

who has time for all this

[@JooWorks]

Shotz By Codak have you ever been to a film set? It takes a long time to set up ligths window NDs and gel ligths. This is faster than doing the same thing on set. If you style is more run and gun vlogin of coure this is unnesessary advance trick. I would not use this on every shoot. But when I wanna do something that looks really good. I would take the time.

[@leedonohue]

Joo.Works amen🙏🏼

[@SteveT__001]

Somebody who needs to rescue a clip perhaps?

[@callumgillies9611]

Professionals.

[@fejkaTV]

skin is too bright

[@JooWorks]

Thanks for telling, learning every day. :-D
