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.

    I think it just effects how you can edit the colors. Like a painter with a paint brush, you have more colors to work with, but once it's rec 709 those colors get compressed to that color space. Think of it similar to taking a photo of a painting that uses 10 colors vs taking a photo of a painting using 1000 colors. Both paintings look the similar due to compression, but the larger amount of colors you can effect can help create more subtle nuances when editing. I hope that makes sense😂

    I have a technical question that doesnt only apply here but you mentioned halation. It’s probably 1000x easier to just slap on the halation effects, but they are not free without studio. And correct me if I’m wrong but adding an effect is essentially getting simpler knobs that help you change the main curves/graphs/scopes to get the desired look. So isn’t it theoretically possible to manually change the curves yourself, getting rid of the middleman, and achieve halation? There has gotta be a way.

  • @fujicinema

    @fujicinema

    Жыл бұрын

    There is! I used to do that effect way before DaVinci added it and even before it was popular. There's a few ways to do it and if you look it up I'm sure you can find tutorials on it, but basically you can add a glow effect that only effects the highlights and put the color as orange/red and set it to screen or add. Another way is using a layer node set to add or screen and doing it all manually with curves and blur. If you need I can add a link to a video, or maybe I should make a video myself 😂

    I think the main thing that would change would be your color space transform settings. Doesn't GoPro use CineForm? There might (don't know) be a setting for that in the CST, so you would convert from CineForm -> Davinci Wide Gamut at the beginning of your node tree. But again... I'm making an assumption on how GoPro is recording.

I get that he can't be doing a video for every little thing but it seems impossible to find videos that actually cover every step at this stuff, and it feels like that shouldn't be too much to ask. Anyway, lovely video otherwise, sorry and don't mean to complain - at the same time, I think when you're competent its just so easy to miss the stuff you're forgetting to explain.
