I thought Resolve is a 32-bit float, so the node order shouldn't matter, right? WRONG.

About:
I am a professional colorist and have worked with brands such as Prime Video, Adidas, Toyota, Vizio, etc. Outside client work, I run a color academy with over 6000 students. My channel mostly focuses on the taste-making (subjective) aspect of color grading. With the rise of AI, I truly believe that most of the grunt, technical (how-to) tasks will be handled by the software, and the job of a colorist will be purely driven by their art and imagination.

This is the gold advice from a pro colorist! A lot of people do it wrong and I've seen even youtuber giving out wrong tutorials by putting grade over the LUT. follow the right guy.

LUT is the first thing I put in my edit. It goes at the VERY END of the TIMELINE node tree. Then I build my broad stroke look under it, and eventually work my way BACKWARDS to the source in my Clip node tree.

Would you do the same method with another LUTs, like the basics one for the look? Putting your CST in and Out, and the LUT would be the last before the Out? The before the LUT we adjust the exposure, WL etc…?

Such a masterclass, as always. What Color Management settings would you recommend for this grade? Thx.

@MrThio Жыл бұрын

Great video! I wanted to know if it would be even better to use the Kodak lut connected with a parallel mixer along with the rest of the color grading?

@JeronimoAmbience 11 ай бұрын

Amazing! So if I want to add sharpening here, should I apply this before or after applying the LUT? I have created a CUBE LUT in Photoshop, and it looks to me like sharpening before gives a better result, what do you think?

@Lensman64 8 ай бұрын

Following the flow would seem to me that it's over and not under the lut. What am I missing in the node tree. Placing a corrector as you say before the lut is not "over" it? Great demonstration btw.

does the white balance shift to blue does the same like shifting ofsset to blue?

Sometimes with the 2383 Film Looks that come with Davinci I get artefacts with very bright saturated colors (they blow out in a bright color). I have got round this sometimes by reducing the saturation using luma vs sat curve, but this seems wrong. Is there another trick to resolving these artefacts? I am using CST to go to Rec 709 Cineon Log before the 2383 LUT.

@CreateNowSleepLater Ай бұрын

Where does a color space transform go in this pipeline. I see a lot of people teaching CST is the last node and others putting it before the LUT. I imaging if the LUT is doing the rec709 transform it goes last and if a LUT is only creative, it goes creative LUT, then CST to rec709?

Hi Qazi.. ^^ Im really curious and have been wondering for a long time about your "Free color grading webinar" but still can't get inside. I don't know why is the loading taking so long and keep "connecting to broadcast" huhu Please help why this keep happening. Because I am really interested to watch it and learn from you so bad :( Thank you so much :)

So, Does CST node behave like a LUT? Should I place lift/gain, temp and noise reduction before CST? If we talk about CST node as straight conversion direct from log to rec 709

@VictorAguinaco Жыл бұрын

As I understand it you can apply a CST from camera color space to timeline color space (for example DaVinci wide Gamut), then you do your grading and then you apply another CST from timeline color space to the one the LUT is expecting to receive (rec 709 cineon log in this case)

@@VictorAguinaco yeah, but in the example he's going from Arri Alexa camera color space to rec 709 cineon
