Your Tutorials are the best on KZread! Very simplified and efficient! WoW

This is probably the first video that REALLY explains what log is in an understandable way for beginners like me. I've watched probably tens of videos on KZread and I still wasn't sure how it worked because everyone uses complicated and technical words and overlooks the important and simple parts. You explained everything step by step without assuming that I knew anything about log, which made me finally understand it. Thank you!

It was enlightening. Though I have to say my enlightenment came when I, as a HEX/RGB front-end coder and graphic designer for starters, began comparing my favourite movie shots, that were depicting white, next to pure HEX/RGB white, let's call it #ffffff. And oh man what a crime over-blasting highlights is! No film feeds the eye a burnt-out #ffffff. Alas, advertisements on the other hand often do.

You are absolutely right. I know nothing about photography, just like to make some videos and photos with my phone. I've never watched a video explaining the method 3 (changing the curves, creating points...) like this before. I wanna buy a camera. :-)

We need more people like you teaching stuff. Thank you.

Short, simple & to the point; incredible!

You create the absolute best tutorials. Thank you very much.

as always, simple and to the point. thanks a lot!!

Love all your videos. Every video contains rich info. Thank you so much !

Great and simple explanation! I had heard of log but never understood what it was or how to use and process it. Thanks!

Finally I get it. Thank you for the great tutorial!

Thanks! I learned a lot in 5 minutes! Excellent video!

Very good explanation. Thank you!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

AWESOME TUTORIAL

Awesome video!

All these years with noise and I just thought it was camera! Had no idea it came from the profile! Thanks for the lesson!

Thank you so much for this

Bravo!

Hi and thanks for some great tutorials. I am editing in Final Cut Pro X but I am very interested in Resolve. I have one issue though and that is the laggy playback in the browser and timeline when looking through the media. I am on a Imac 2017 and in Final Cut Pro I can watch my 4K files without creating optimised media or any proxies. That saves me a lot of time. In Resolve I can only get a smooth playback if I create optimised media. It might not be a bid deal for some, but when I come home with hours of footage it takes forever to create optimised media for everything. I don't know if this is just something necessary in Resolve or do you know any tricks to get the same playback performance as in FCP? Once again thanks for your great videos. All the best

I edited a full 4k musicvideo on my wife‘s older MacBook Air, with LUTS, heavy color grade etc. and no lag. FCP of course. I miss those times. Now, 32gb ram, Nvidia 2070 rtx and SSD Samsung Evo 970 and editing SUCKS!!! I CURSE EACH DAY.

best explanation .

I've struck gold...…..as a novice your tutorials are the best

Εxcellent tutorial. I have learned a lot from you thank you

After watching it the second time, I still learned so much🔥

even watching it the third time it sounded as if i was watching a new video.

I'm finding this Da Vinci video editing software to be similar to the way the Photoshop software is set up except that if you're used to using Photoshop for editing photos you now have to get used to where to go within the Da Vinci software to access all the different features and filters.

A quick question.. after I dealt with the log footage, would it be okay to go on and desaturate shadows and then de-noise? Thanks a lot!! great job by the way. Edit: How much Gamma is too much, when there aren't "obvious" highlight areas in our shot, (night shot par example).

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO JUST LOVES THIS GENTLEMAN???

Superb

The main problem with flat profiles (V-Log L & HLG) for me is not the noise but the color accuracy in comparison to Standard profile of my Lumix G9. Regardless which way I go to transfer the footage into the Rec.709 (color transformation, different LUTs, ColorChecker), I always lose some yellow colors which I can see with my eyes and which the Standard profile can reproduce correctly. So, if I take a video of a green-yellow grassland in Standard, I get all the colors correctly, but if I apply V-Log L or HLG and transform the footage into Rec709, a lot of yellow colors become green! That’s why, despite the poor dynamic range of Standard it is my profile of choice when I film landscapes!

I like the video a lot thanks! I feel you should at least very briefly touch the Resolve Color Management or ACES when you talk about handling Log footage.

What ist that, please? Can you explain a bit what exactly you mean? Thanks!

Personally I would prefer a deeper dive into the real technical details. This was too vague an explanation of log for me, but I appreciate the effort.

Color Space Transform? Aces?

👌👍😎

Can you please explain the difference between LOG and HLG?

There is a way to denoise the image on Resolve?

7:14 This doesn't change anything for me. Am I hitting another bug or did I miss another button buried 3200 layers beneath the obvious? EDIT: Same at 7:44, the Y controller doesn't allow me to control brightness arrrghh. EDIT: OMG found it - I had "use S-curve for contrast" ticked off (actually after following a tip from you). I thought it's ONLY for contrast but no, it affects ALL the curves of similar type... Again, not sure if a bug or a feature...

He works for Blackmagic, he just isn't telling us. His knowledge is too superior I tell you....

However,

Subtitle pleasee........

Subtitle please.

Uhm, you didn't explain log. As a matter of fact, you said you were NOT going to explain log. This was another tutorial on how to use log, not an explanation of it. 🤨

Great video, but out of all the videos on KZread there is one video that is TOTALLY missing! Colour Management Workflows and Colour Science! Why are there literally millions of videos about grading video and LOG (Raw) video on KZread but nobody has the intuition or foresight to talk about colour management workflows. All this 'grading' work by independent film-makers is worthless if the colour management is not set up properly on the timeline, and then subsequently for delivery. It could all be worthless if final delivery interprets it wrong. All this great colour grading software is pointless unless it is conformed properly in the edit suite and delivery methods. Please make a video tutorial about setting up colour management for edit/delivery! Also there are too many videos about grading LOG (Raw) footage. Most independent film-makers don't have the time or budget to shoot LOG and shoot in camera (baked in footage) only! How about a video about grading baked in footage? I'm genuinely shocked that the video tutorial videos that should exist on KZread simply do not. Please talk about Rec709, Rec2020, ACEScct, input, output, Davinci Colour Managed, timeline setting for colour science, delivery settings for cinema DCP, Blu-Ray, streaming services, etc etc please. PLEASE! That's what indie film-makers who use this type of software really need to know.

You’re very correct. Jamie Finn has a KZread on color management if your shooting Log with an iPhone (using FilmicPro Log). You add Color Transform to a node, then in the input you select Rec2021 then input gamma Rec2020 HLG.

Oh and Rec709 output of course.

I did postproduction on a, rock 'n' roll documentary video. Some years back. About 11 years ago. Or is that 12? Whatever. It was shot, really horribly by a, cable access guy. It was 4 x 3 and left on auto exposure. Blowing out the whites and over exposing the person who the documentary film is about. It looked totally horrible. It was all washed out. Hardly any color. It was a mess. I was using, at that time, Sony Vegas 9. And of course when I saturated up the colors. I had a boatload of noise. In the colors. Nasty nervous looking noise. What to do? I know! I was able to adjust the exposure brightness, black level, gamma. To only the luminance. And then to deal with the noise in the chrominance. I simply blew, the chrominance out of focus. Now this is related to a technique used in, VHS and Betamax consumer video. It's low band color. It's out of focus color. On top of the in focus luminance. That reflects less noise. And the results were positively, amazing! I further had to do some digital compositing, color correction and exposure control along with, depth of focus control. Digital lighting effects. I had to cut out circles and ovals and rectangles. To completely change around the image from what it once was. I had never done this before. I never needed to do it before. And the results were amazing. Originally shot as 4 x 3. I had to reformat the, aspect ratio. With every single shot. To achieve a proper, Pana vision style, aspect ratio. Taking my standard definition 525 line video. Likely down to around 350 lines. And then adding plenty of sharpening filter. And rendering out as, 19 20 x 10 80. And converting the 30 frame interlace video to 24 progressive. Which caused a few problems with some pans. No longer smooth. Oh well. I really didn't know what I was doing. I was a multi-major music award nominated audio engineer. That worked at a major television network in the USA for 20 years. So a little video rubbed off on me. But just like my audio. I don't rely upon the meters. I listen to the sound. And my eyes along with my brain. Decide what the exposures and colors should be. Which you then check on the Waveform monitor and the vector scope. To make sure nothing is terribly out of its regulatory scope. And I was rather proud of that. Not bad for a first try for a feature-length one and 1/2 hour long documentary video. With its one hell of a rock 'n' roll soundtrack I mostly recorded. Everything except one song. And there are dozens. Throughout the entire feature-length documentary. Now when it comes to the audio. No one does it better than me. Most of the spoken word audio I hear from 99% of everyone. It is the worst, amateur beginner trash. One could ever hear. Nobody understands how to properly process spoken word. Natural sounding audio doesn't come from doing nothing. Natural sounding audio comes from doing the most unnatural things to the sound. To make it sound natural. And consistent. And with a high intelligibility level. Where no one misses a single consonant of a word. And I had to do that every night for between three and 10 million people. For nearly 20 years. And you have to know how to do that right. In order to get heard.. But what I mostly hear today and from top audio engineers I would have to say is mostly, shameful. They do good music mixes. They don't know how to record the spoken word. Because it requires some knowledgeable, tricks and techniques. And no one seems to get it? It's sad. So very sad. Worldwide RemyRAD
