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.

    You can also use a power window on the Relight FX to control the effect area. But in any case, it looks like a resource-intensive fiddle for now... This is the same problem as the Depth Map mask. It lacks precision with a computed low-relief 3D.

I was curious if you have any advice about beauty filters like beauty box/the one in resolve and how much the industry actually uses it and how they/you would use it if so. I have a friend who keeps smearing it on and proclaiming that her shots have perfect skin but to me her subjects look like cartoon characters :/. But on a ULB shoot without great makeup what should one do? Thanks!

    If you use it properly and on right clips instead of trying to "demystificate" the tool with some good old PW trio, the Relight tool works great... The power of a professional is also to add his own companion tools to help the first used tool totally adapt to the shot. It's already a good tool, as the Magic Mask, the surface tracker and the depth map can be too, but the out of the box thing is indeed not there. So what, WE are there to make it fit...

By applying the same principles as in a Non-HDR, my footage becomes too dark. If i try to correct, it becomes a mess. So please, if you could, show us the correct procedure by grading a BMPCC4K RAW footage in HDR.

    I found a way thats quite effective and doesn't even need resolve in the first place, It's quite tedious tho but I've noticed it as the best results, so what i do is first export the video as a png sequence and then i take one of the frames into photoshop and create a normal map after that has been exported i use a software called ebsynth to feed it that normal map data and what it does is that it will apply that normal map adjustment to all the frames and then i use that as a way to relight, its far more realistic.

    What Blackmagic should do is combine their depth scanner/pass with relight. The depth AI creates a pretty much a z-pass, which has information on how close or far things are in estimated 3D space. Relight looks like something like a normal pass acting as a bump map in 2D space. Combining both of them should fix the issue where things that should not be lit are lit. I've actually experimented with something similar in concept for VFX work. In After Effects, combining a normal/bump pass with a depth pass of an image creates an ability for AE lights to interact with the image's lighting based on where the light is. That's 3D!

    Just aside, I wish BM would focus more on the graphics side of davinci resolve, like adobe has with Graphics panel. Resolve can dedicate one more tab just for text and graphics so that for subtitles and graphics they can be manipulated like live text. Right now, manipulating texts in Resolve isn't ideal and the way you have to go into Fusion and fix to do something more comple....just not efficient. They can take a page out of Descript.

That being said... the manual fix looks so much better. The relight is almost casting weird shadows on things that shouldn't have shadows. I can see the tool being useful for simple videos (talking head) where the background doesn't have any real importance. But not for cinematic stuff.

    @@theqazman Well, I'm certainly not a colorist. I'm a filmmaker, and professional Gaffer, first priority would be to get the shot lit correctly in the first place, but there are times that can be hard. For instance, I have a couple shots I've used this technique on in a short I'm working on now. It's a wide shot on an overcast day and there was very little contrast on the subject. I used this method (magic mask into relight) to create negative fill on the shadow side of the subject (darkened instead of brightened with the relight) that would have been something difficult to do on the day (would have been a huge negative fill, or a very large HMI on set). I don't see this as a solution to make every shot better, just some that really need it. That's my take at least.

    When I saw that feature I was like: "Is making 2 nodes to relight an element really better than using a power window?" The thing is Blackmagic always do that. They roll out a new feature that is 50% finished, and show you the best case scenario, and everybody goes: "Whoaw!!!," then you try it in real life and it only half delivers, so you go back to using the same tools you've always have. But to be fair each feature always gets better with each new updates. I think this one will be really good in about 3 to 5 years.

    I am sorry to say to you but your 20k macpro is not worth more then a 5k PC hardware wise. IF even that much. You pay mostly for the brand and software, not for hardware with Apple. Apple hardware is ALWAYS behind a couple of years and slow. Is good and stable but is not for performance. Why ? Because most of the applications in 3D and vfx and resolve use CUDA cores for GPU hardware acceleration for years and since a few years ago even AI cores for Ai effects. So you absolutely need nvidia gpu's series, one or multiple 3080 TI or 4090 if you want best performance. Get out of comfort zone and get a real workstation monster. You can have windows or Linux. Resolve on Linux is the best and i use it daily and with Aces. And yes, i am a vfx generalist artists working daily on 3 pc's top of the line, windows+linux but linux rocks.

    Some of your Info is right. Lots is outdated. 1. Apple M Series is not far behind. Fixed Function Hardware does it's trick and it works like a charm. I only remember a single ASUS 1500€ Notebook (Series) being Capable of Running premiere Pro on Set for Rough Editing and Data Offload with 6+ Hours of actual light Use - Unlike the M1 (No ProRes FFH) + M1 Pro Series, which i could use almost all Day without a single Charge. ProRes still is Standard in wide parts of Cinema and TV so what actually uses Battery most is the Drives (Or Rendering Proxies ofc. which we rarely had to do though) 2. CUDA is NOT only runnable on nVIDIA. Search for RocM (AMD) and HIP. Blender, Resolve and such DO run CUDA on HIP on AMD now. Might take some Years to be out of Beta, for some applications more like Alpha implementation status but is coming in FAST. My 2 VEGA 56 are running Stable Diffusion and such like a charm, yes with Cuda :D 3. The Intel Based MacPro is actually a Cash sink without good reason, that much is definitly true. 4. A 3080Ti or 4090 is NOT the correct HW if you are talking High End 3D. The Professional Series is because of ECC and the usually doubled ammount of VRAM. 5. Resolve on Linux (depending on Distro) does sometimes require Tinkering. Therefore you need to specify your Distro, Kernel etc. (Not a Rant against our beloved Tux, i use Manjaro myself) 6. Yes you do pay an Apple Tax. This is not that bad at 1st Gen MBP M1 levels, but with the bigger Options in Upgrades (SSD, RAM etc) it really is a Slap in the face, that much is also very true. Note: This is not meant as an Insult or an Offense. I wanted to Critique on spreading outdated information but not on you personally.
