Good advices! My number 4 would be: Learn everything you can about color management, Rec709, CST and so on. At the beginning, I did not do any of that and went completely "freestyle" with my grading. Same with my node tree. Try to find a "fixed node tree" that works best for you. Name your Nodes so if you have to work on an older project, you still know what you did in all the nodes. :)

Thanks. Needed that to remind myself to not invest to much money in gear. I invested in books to not look at a screen/monitor to much :).

Thank you man :)

Thanks Gavin, super good advice. One interesting thing in relation on spending too much money is, equipment cost goes up really quickly. E.g. Mini Panel to Advanced 28k difference, a non HDR Flanders to a BVM HDR Sony 25k difference. There is no mid tier!

Highend equipment gets extremely expensive extremely fast. They only produce low numbers of certain products and they kinda have to charge crazy prices for that. There aren’t that many suites out there with a Sony X300, an advanced panel etc. And, of course, Sony and Dolby can charge much more due to their name. Im glad that there is no mid tier as the lower end stuff is so good today, you almost dont need it.

What do you recommend to have for settings instead of black magic panel? To have something temporarily until you can buy it

Is it possible to make a good living from freelance colour grading?
