This is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen explaining color space… Cullen Kelly makes amazing tutorials but they’re over complicated and he rambles on and on and on about the philosophy instead of getting to the point. Which is perfectly OK when you’re in the mood for that. But this tutorial is succinct, gets right to the point, it is easy to understand. Great great job! I’m sending a link to this tutorial to every editor I know. Except the sad pathetic ones that are still working in premiere pro. Lol. That was half a joke.

I have never commented on a KZread video in my entire life. This is my first, simply because I cannot tell you how confusing it has been for me as someone who is aspiring to give their lives to the colorist role and having the hardest time understanding color management! NOBODY has explained color management to me to better than you have! i would have paid for this information instantly! you have literally changed my life in this video! like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! THANK YOU!

Absolutely the best concise Color Management explanation.I've seen. Watched and read many explanations and have gotten confused by those advocating Node base CST methodology vs Resolve Color Managed (RCM). Now I fully understand why I have found RCM>DaVinci Intermediate Wide>Rec 709 2.4 a reliable repeatable result. This trainng also taught me how to provide HDR deliverables. Thank YOU so very much!
I failed to mention, a big thanks to Daria Fissoun for her invaluable input on this video and for spotting my mistakes! Any video that she is in is gold, and definitely worth watching.

I have been trying to wrap my head around color management and understand the fundamentals of it properly. But most people either suck at conveying their thoughts properly to others (bad teachers) or, are not very knowledgeable themselves and just try to show something that has worked for them. But this video of yours is clear, crsip, to the point and covers everything that is there to be know about color management, especially to noobs like me! Wonderful job and I'm glad KZread recommended me your video. This made my day!

This was quite remarkable. I've watched so many videos about colour management that I've lost count, but I've never heard anyone explain Rec 709 further than saying "It's the broadcast standard." I guess it's very difficult for people who know the ins and outs of something so well to fully grasp how little the rest of us understand it, but you do a truly amazing job of breaking it all down. I don't know how many other videos you have made, but I will be watching them all.

Ah thank-you so much. Glad it has bought some clarity. We had a blast making it and are planning some more content like this later in the year.
Great video. The only thing I would add (and this is not preferential), working with RCM means that you generally don’t have FULL control over how these transforms are applied - This can limit the colour controls. For example, placing a CST near the end of your pipeline(node tree), can preserve dynamic range of a shot, rather than the transform having already taken place before you start grading as is the case with RCM. The KZreadr Darren Mostyn (whom I’m not associated with in any way), demonstrates this quite nicely. But again, this video is not suggesting you don’t do that, just something one should know when deciding on your colour management. Thanks for the video, well thought out.
@team2films
11 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching and thanks for your kind comment too. Yes, agreed, CSTs allows you granular control over each transformation. When using RCM if that level of control is needed on a particular shot, the Bypass Color Management option can be used and CSTs configured as needed. This allows users to take advantage of RCM's ease of use and CSTs power (when needed) in a single project. I'm curious what you mean regarding preserving Dynamic Range with CSTs placed near the end of the node tree.
@laniakeasupercluster4606
11 ай бұрын
@@team2films When applying the CST after (e.g) grading primaries, experiment with increasing the gain to a high level. By doing so, you'll notice that the highlights are preserved better, maintaining (what I call) it’s dynamic range, with a gentle falloff. However, if you apply the CST before making this gain adjustment, the highlights are more likely to be clipped - this is case when using RCM. But as you have rightly said, one can turn off RCM independently from the project settings.

Very helpful to view this video AGAIN and AGAIN, after some practice using various methods. A wonderful review and reminder of the concepts and so helpful to clarify otherwise baffling terms like, "Scene-Referred," which otherwise have no immediate logical meaning. Likewise, what is the meaning of "Timeline" in the Project Setup page? Timeline is a user-interface term, not a color science term. So your clarification that "timeline" means an "working" or "intermediate" space is very helpful.

I tell you this is a breath of fresh air. I feel I’ve been “shamed” into trying a CST workflow, but I do prefer the ease and amazing quality of the Davinci color managed workflow. I feel like there are 2 things with Davinci Color Managed timelines that have been difficult. 1. When I want to apply any of the built in Luta (like the Kodak lut) I just haven’t been able to get good results. Could I just sandwich that lut between 2 cst’s on a color managed timeline? 2. Other issue is I can’t figure out how to get the fusion page to give me a good scene referred color. Either way this video has been very insightful and really appreciate it.

Ah thanks James. I know what you mean. 'You're not pro if you're not using CSTs'. It's a great workflow for sure though, and I'm glad there are options to tackle different scenarios. Yes, you can use CSTs to colour manage footage to suit a LUTs requirements. Check out our Masterclass on Bleach Bypass. We show that technique in there. Great to have you here.
