Master Matt, my friend, you forget to mention that this method of CM isn't going to save you if you have a un-calibrated monitor, or a monitor set on a different color space, not sRGB or REC709. I know you already post two videos about monitors and how to use them correctly. Thank you for all the free fantastic tips, lessons, and positive vibes.

How is this different from CST? Do you still have the same amount of range to play with the colours before the CST or is it like grading after the CST

[cinematools]

Great video.
The limitation of the color-managed workflow is that color correction comes after the transform and in some scenarios, you won't be able to bring back highlight or shadow information.

@whoismatt This video saved me a tone of time on previous projects. Today, I followed the same process but the option for "input color space" is not available in color management. Is there a way to correct it without starting all over?

[bynumoil]

Thanks so very much. Just what I needed today!😊

[RemyBReel]

I use a mix of Sony, GoPro and Insta360 footage. What color space would you recommend for the log action cameras? I have just been using Rec 709 but not sure if there's something more "accurate" I should be using. Thanks for another good one!

[imacgolf]

Please do a tutorial for premiere pro as well 😊

Hey Matt! Thanks for the video. Please -> Don't forget about us Final Cut Pro X. I'd love to color grade on DaVinci but already invested my money on Apple's suite, and if there is a way to make a round trip between FCPX and Resolve Free Version, that would be awesome. Ah, and please consider the new FCP 10.8. Thanks a lot!

[bigfranksworld]

so what "input color space" would I pick for the Gopro 8 or 12? I really would like to give this a try and save a ton of time. Thanks!

You can also easily select al the clips in the media page to give them the right color space. This way, you can easily select all the clips without having to go through the whole timeline to deselect drone shots for example.

Great video. Didn’t know that option was there. Question though. What is the difference between this method and the Color Space Transform tool under the effects tab and using the slog3cine option from there.

Hey There,
Thanks for the video..
I am using multiple colour profile in my videos, lets say gopro videos ( Colour profile:HD (1-1-1)), Iphone Videos ( Colour profile: BT.2020 HLG (9-18-9)), DJI drone videos ( Colour profile:HD (1-1-1)) and Sony Camera Videos ( Colour profile: 1-11-1)). Could you please advise me. the best colour profile which i need to use in Davinci for a better result.
Thank u

[Allthingsvadya]

Is this better than using the color space transform effect in the color page?

[joshafilms]

Thank you for this tutorial, How do you make that color transition at 0:56

[giannippo]

can you do the same tutorial with premiere? Thank you

[siai]

I don't have any log on my canon 90D what type of setting should i use? Thanks in advance

[TroyQwert]

So, i not gonna be able to use this tool if I have no idea what camera was used?

[jacoriat]

i'm guessing this only wors if you have footage with only one camera in your project? I'm my case it's unlikely :(
