    they just see 8 bit and 10 bit...they don't know it's 2^8 = 256 and 2^10 = 1024 meaning in an 8 bit footage you have 256x256x256 colors for each of the RGB channel while in a 10 bit you have 1024x1024x1024 colors... It changes exponentially and hence this drastic difference! Definitely gives a vast amount of room and freedom while color grading.

    Maybe it's also the chroma subsampling. In theory 4:2:2 footage should work better with the qualifier. When you do a key with the qualifier you can see that the hue and saturation controls work with less pixels, but the luminance appears to have more information.

    Surprisingly enough I've always managed to pull clean keys from 8 bit footage when it was c200, but as you said I feel c200's 8bit is really solid compared to other 8 bit footage. And the footage I was working on was almost always shot in studio so controlled lighting conditions, I guess that helps :) The only time I was having trouble is whenever they decided to include props or clothes the same color as the background (usually I was asked to treat the BG color seperatly, which in most case worked with the qualifier but in some cases when the same color was introduced in the frame, that was just a nightmare xD )

Would be interesting to see how all the in between footage, that is quiet common now (Fuji / Panasonic 10bit 4:2:0/ 4:2:2, h.264 vs h.265, All-I vs Longgop) compare. I mean in general just try to use hue vs hue seems to be a wise.

Should he send me the whole premier pro/davinci project, do my grade and then send him back the project or should I just ask him only all the footage of his project and then send him back all the clips in prores ? I have a client that has a premier pro project but it's a big mess to import the project into davinci with XML file, would be much easier to grade only the clips he needs. Thanks for your help :)

    Ok so its been a few weeks since i saw this video and tonight i found out something I REALLY need to address here. I moved BACK to davinci resolve because it REALLY is a true "colorist" platform to be on AND a fantastic editing software. I can edit 10x faster on Resolve than i can in Premier Pro. But today? I decided to move back to Premier for a specific video because for some reason I feel like the qualifier in resolve is just not working the same way it is in Premier.........and its not. I took the same clip, put it in resolve, tried to qualify my skin tons and no dice. It broke apart completely. Grabbing other colors in the frame. It just would not work and looked horrible. But if I used the HSL Secondary in Premier Pro? Its night and day. At this moment im still an 8-bit shooter on an A6600. I think im hitting this point until i get my FX30 in, Davinci is not meant for someone on an 8-bit platform. Theres alot a magic under the hood in Davinci for sure....but it neglects 8 bit footage enitrely where as im feeling Premier accounts for anyone. I think tonight i realized until I get my new FX30 in and can move to 10-bit footage? Ill put resolve to the side until then

Im not sure why. I guess for example if I shoot in SLOG3, my skin tones are too magenta. So i just move the magenta away in the hue vs hue in the overall image and the only change i see is my skin tones starting to look correct. I found that to be easier evven on 10-bit and 16-bit footage and qualifiers makes my Davinci Resolve want to take a shit on my computer lol

    The most common mistake while working with 8 bit footage, is working with 8 bit footage. (just kidding, not everyone has 10 bit or higher capable cameras)

    Thanks for this on. Well, after an ethnic dance around the fire with your 8 bit footage u can get a result that I can call as workable. But from a workflow perspective its more time consuming and just overall less fun. Theres no turning back after 10+ bit in any terms).

    Most newbies who shoot in s-log (2, 3), I find they make the biggest mistake, when shooting in 8 bit. Best profile for shooting, on Sony, is CINE4 or HLG, I find. Just stay away from the s-logs, while on 8 bit, generally speaking. Most of you don't think of this and jump right on the "pros" settings. I am not a pro, but I after watching videos like this, some while ago, I chose to never use s-log on my camera. Am very happy with CINE4. FYI. :)

    Most of us aren't colorists, we instead are in a big need of color correct our own videos, never bigger than 8 bit, rec 709 stuff.
