Yesterday I finally decided to jump from Premiere into DaVinci , so today was the first day and i dedicated it entirely to absorbing as much info as i could to have an understanding of it…From basic tutorials, to more advanced ones to see what features DaVinci has , to reading comments, people with different opinions and bringing up topics , looking up those topics , etc. Now 15 hours later back at your video and definitely having a much easier time folowing through the process, still overwhelmed but excited to get to work and keep going. Great one ! Thank you for your help!

Excellent I’m coming from Premier Pro I couldn’t deal with it freezing up all the time anymore. At first I didn’t like da Vinci because I was stuck on Premier Pro having used it for so many years, but after giving da Vinci a chance I’m never turning back I got the studio version and I absolutely love it. I never thought of color grading in such a creative way, but now it’s got me motivated to shoot more and really think about the post processing of color, no more dropping a LUT on it and calling it good.

@joeltunnah 3 жыл бұрын

It’s all the same stuff as editing a photo in Lightroom, it’s just called different things and laid out differently. “Lift” is shadows, “Gamma” is midtone contrast, “Gain” is highlights, “Offset” is like Exposure. Also I’ve noticed that most Davinci tutorials on KZfaq are geared towards professionals doing commercial work. They have like 25 adjustment nodes, and it’s all a but much for an amateur who just wants to put together a decent looking 5 minute KZfaq vid.

I used to do the actual film grading for motion picture negative n positive with chemical processing. That was very very complicated. That process used to depend on A To Z color balance with mood n contrast correction. I found the same theme in your work flow. That is really very professional. Keep it up.

Nodes give you the ability for a lot more than just organization, they also allow you to build off of your previous work. So if I change the luminance levels in one node, I can go to the next node and work from the new luminance levels instead of guessing. Then on top of that there are different types of nodes for different jobs. Basically saying “can’t you just use basic saturation” is like asking a painter why they have different brushes, canvas materials, tools, and techniques instead of just always painting on paper with the same brush in only red.
