Love this so much. I always argue with my colorist friends that crushing the blacks isn’t always a bad thing

Really good video, would be very interested in seeing more color grading/correcting videos

Thank you so much for this. As a photographer, It's more common to look at an image, and be fine with a style that involves completely crushing the blacks, and calling it a day. Now, that I'm moving more towards video color science, it's great to see good base information on how to massage that data into the look you need, while retaining the data you need for every node (and delivery) down the line.

One of the huge things about anything but in my case filmmaking, you never stop learning, the moment you think you do you lost the game

Seems like a very long and arduous process so I can only assume it pays quite well!

This question has been burning my brain for the longest time: Is it okay to crush the blacks for Internet videos? I used to go below 0 IRE because I like the look, but I read somewhere to never let it go below 0, especially if it's going to be played on TV, but my stuff doesn't play on TV, so does it matter to keep it at 0?

If the opportunity comes around, that you need to be "broadcast legal" you could just go back to the project and save an above 0 IRE copy.

Imagine paying 10s of thousands of dollars to go to film school when you can pay less than 1K a year for F.A. LOL

No matter what I do, I cannot get my blacks to hit absolute zero. : ( They always have some residual tone which is fixed a few points above zero. FX3 - DaVinci 17. Any suggestions to overcome this limitation?

Hey! I do not know for sure, but I figured I would offer an idea to help perhaps. Perhaps in your picture profile on your camera you can change that. I've noticed that changing my gamma settings, too, in my picture profile helps when I color correct later. Does that make sense? Hope this helps to some extent, friend
