Great to hear!! I'm glad the video was helpful. Always be sure to set tone mapping to none in the first CST IN node, and tone mapping to luminance in the CST OUT node,. Next Monday I'll upload the video on how to expose with the ML false color (I still owe it to you) and it' will be very interesting. Stay tuned!!

This is brilliant. Exactly what we needed. It's the definite workflow that gives all the tools to grade in a managed and least limited way possible. After more than a month of researching and trial and error I got to a similar place, but I wasn't aware that the input color space doesn't matter with raw. This would have been sooo helpful when I was starting out. And it still is. Thanks so much! It should get pinned in the fb group as a definite, fundamental guide, that it is

Hi Sergio, Great video... I always use Timeline color space as Davinci WG/Intermediate but i always get confused with output color space. Even I am on new Macbook Pro.

if your display is a Mac, you have to set as output color rec709-A otherwise what you see is not what you'll see on KZread for example . And under your preference/system/general you have to turn on "use Mac display color profiles for viewers" and "automatically tag rec709 scene as rec709-a

I love the detail you go into, which really helps when you're trying to use such powerful programs like Davinci. I see that your CinemaDNG clips are squished in your media pool. How do you stretch them out to the correct scale in the editor? I haven't been able to figure that out...

​@@alrepairs777 yes, cDNG is raw, so no log. With a CST node if you put it in a Davinci Wide Gamma color space, automatically you'll get a log profile before to transform it in rec709.

What settings did you use in MLV app for the export? Another question... When using lut's how do you know that the lut is shown correctly since we don't have a reference image or video?

@russo-filmmaking

Жыл бұрын

I export using cDNG lossless Davinci Resolve Naming Scheme, fix focus dots on. It's all. Good Luts are created based on the color space you are using. Each LUT need the correct input and deliver to a display color space or a scene color space. For example there are LUTs that receive as input Davinci Wide Gamut and output in the same color Space DWG. I don't understand exactly what do you mean when you say " how do you know that the lut is shown correctly, since we don't have a reference image or video", good LUTs are based on color science, so we know what they do based on the specifications of the developer.

Thanks Sergio! Could you please help me, i exported graded Rec 709 Gamma 2.4 footage (h264) from DR, imported it in Final Cut and realized that all colors are kind of washed out in Final Cut (quicktime and other players show almost same results as i see in DaVinci). I think it is related to wrong interpretation of 2.4 gamma in Final Cut. How can i transform it in DR in order to get appropriate results in FCP (if possible without second iteration of color grading)?

@russo-filmmaking

Жыл бұрын

if you are working on a Mac and you don't have a reference monitor, in your preference system under general you have to set to on "Use Mac display color profiles for wiewers" and "automatically tac rec 709 Scene clips as rec709A" . Then in your project settings select output color space rec709-a, and in all your CST out nodes ( where you transform to rec709) always select as output color space rec 709-A. Then When you export: in the deliver tab, under advanced settings select, data level auto, color space tag rec709 and gamma tag rec709-A.

Depending on which gamma and color space I choose, I get a different response from highlights and shadow sliders. P3/linear gives me the cleanest results when I use SH/HL sliders. Anything that I miss?

@russo-filmmaking

Жыл бұрын

I use rec709/rec709 and following my workflow it has the exact same behavior of P3/linear, using any tool in Davinci Intermediate, including HSL sliders. Absolutely no difference, you can use P3/linear or 709/709 or 709/sRGB. You can notice difference if you make correction from the raw tab because in that case you are working in P3-D60 space and not in Davinci wide Gamma. I don't use the Raw tab because using nodes it's more easy eliminate or disable a node to make comparisons with previous versions of the same clip.

Well clipping light are not recoverable. So we need to avoid clipping the lights. And if you want to bring out the lights there are several easy methods.

Yes, if you use a sony camera or you export s-log from MLV, you can use directly the lut on your s-log clip for basic color correction underneath your lut node. For a more advance color grading I prefer to work in a bigger working space that allow me to push my color, advance split tone separation, use of HDR wheels with the right behavior, , better qualification etc... Moreover some time I film using my BMPCC 4K, with the canon eos M and my iPhone 15. I group the clips based on their color space: in my post- clip group I set the same output for the 3 camera, because they came from the same DWG color space. So with this workflow I work in the same working space for the 3 cameras (davinci Intermediate), my output is the same for the 3 cameras, and the only change I do is in the input color space of each group in the pre-group clip. Very fast and easy.This workflow is very common among profesional users.
