As requested, here's my FX30 grading workflow! There are timestamps / chapters to everything so feel free to skip to the parts you'd like to review. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going through the Blackmagic's free training as that's where I started when I fully switched into DaVinci Resolve www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/training it takes a few hours to complete but your foundations will be rock solid. I assure you it only looks intimidating but it's really easy to follow.

Thank you so much for this in-depth video, Victor. At 6:15, I saw you brought down the brightness of the entire shot using the Offset wheel. Wouldn't it be better to adjust the Gamma wheel instead to prevent the highlights from clipping or the shadows from being crushed? I am genuinely curious because I shoot most of my videos slightly overexposed (+0.7) to retain detail in the shadows. I generally just bring the Gamma wheel down a bit and put the highlights to around -20 to make the image look less bright.

@VictorLaforteza

Hey dude! at 6:15 I just adjusted the greens on the offset! But yes, most of the time but also depending on the footage, I think Lift, gamma, gain will be a better choice to manipulate exposure in certain areas. Another option is curves which I love using!

I am not sure how to put your LUTs into Premiere Pro. Do I add the "1-Click" conversion LUT below and add a layer of Cine Green (and all others) at the top? Also, I live in South Korea, so will it be possible to purchase your LUT in my region?

@VictorLaforteza

Жыл бұрын

I would separate it on two layers, cine green should be above the conversion LUT and then your exposure adjustments and corrections would be done on the clip itself (or another layer below the conversion LUT). If you'd like to push the stylized grade more, I would put it under the conversion LUT. That way, it's flexible to push colours around. Hope that makes sense! and yes, you can buy the LUTs in your region :) Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey Victor love this channel i always come back to it ive learned a lot from watching u I have a question im looking just for your opinion on this do you think slapping on a lut can get the job done without having to color grade like are there specialized luts that do 90 percent of the colorgrading im only asking because ive never worked with them i usually colorgrade it all myself but i just dont have enough time anymore and im realzing luts look like the best solution on time saving

@VictorLaforteza

Жыл бұрын

Yup! There are specialized LUTs that is almost one and done but keep in mind that there will always be adjustments that you need to make to get the perfect look with a lut because it depends on how it’s exposed and what colours are present in the shot. Nonetheless, it’s nice to be efficient with the right LUTs and you can be flexible too in the colour grade if you want to spend more time with it.

I watched literally all 30min, you're very easy to follow along to. I'm confused about when you actually edit the clips vs. color grade. It seems like the clips are already edited but they are not really put together yet. I just saw your pinned post; I'm going to do the DaVinci Resolve training now. I've basically only exclusively used premiere pro and also bought LUTs to color grade footage but I can't get anywhere close to what you are doing here

@VictorLaforteza

Жыл бұрын

Amazing to hear! It's actually quite streamlined. So you have different tabs which the layout will be different. The EDIT tab is very similar to Premiere pro's layout. You cut your footage there and add overlays, text, etc. and then once you're done cutting editing the video, you switch into the COLOR tab. Each clip will be separated for you and you can color each individual ones! You'll learn it on the free training. It's such a game changer. I've been a premiere pro user for 10+ years and I've never had so much fun editing with davinci after learning the ropes. It just takes a lot of unlearning and re learning some stuff. Hope you enjoy their training! if you have any questions along the way, ask away! :)

For the Rec.709 conversion with CST, Color space set up to Rec.709 is correct, but Output Gamma should be Gamma 2.4 and not Rec.709 again. Because Rec.709 is a color space and not a Gamut. So the colors are not mapped correctly and you don't get the most out of your footage.
