About:
I am a professional colorist and have worked with brands such as Prime Video, Adidas, Toyota, Vizio, etc. Outside client work, I run a color academy with over 6000 students. My channel mostly focuses on the taste-making (subjective) aspect of color grading. With the rise of AI, I truly believe that most of the grunt, technical (how-to) tasks will be handled by the software, and the job of a colorist will be purely driven by their art and imagination.

I love how this is a really basic tutorial but with showing the RGB mix you also gave something into it for those people who already more intermediate💯

QAZ, regarding the saturation max that you adjusted at 3:30, why not just turn down saturation on a node? Why not pull back the saturation of reds, specifically, if those are the colors that are clipping? Im trying to understand why you make one choice over the other

This was a fantastic tutorial. Detailed, but to the point. Thank you so much, I was scratching my head trying to figure out the color page!

[williamlacrosse]

Straight to the point. Bro this is great!

[AllThingsFilm]

I love how you always introduce new approaches to grading. Thanks!

[mamoastudio]

Intermediate lvl next, please!! you nailed this one :)

[robertcvsh]

Im really liking your content it’s definitely shedding some light on a super complex program. I was also watching your video on noise reduction and sharpness if I were to put those two together would the noise reduction come before the primaries and the sharpness before the out?
Thanks!

You should do a video color grading for a real estate video, it would be super helpful to see how you would deal with the dynamic range!

[hypelightsband]

In the RGB Mixer why do you take out the red to subtrack blue when there's a bleu coloumn for it? This whole part got me really confused..

[vinayaktalavadekar]

[mishukx]

[AlapatiAvinash]

Can you make a video on how to setup multi Monitor setup for editing videos ?

[SilverGas]

In and out Nodes thats a good tip thank you. Under project settings, Color Managemnt fro Color Science, Timeline color space and output color space what do you set or input there ?

@Waqas Qazi please tell how to make cinemetic colorgrading a SLOG3 Footage

[talktalk]

Man, love ur vids 🔥🔥 But lately it's too small to see what's really going on. It's like it's made for ants not humans to watch 😢

[LearningMediaSkills]

How do you get your break-out scopes window to be that small?

[srinathm]

So, what is the difference between going from S-Log to Davinci in the first node and then Davinci to Rec709 in the last node, to doing it directly from S-Log to Rec709?

[mlbgaming]

How are you editing like that? with the full screen video and controls overlayed on top

[claudiomarionyc]

Hey man would love if you can increase the screen size.

[BärenmarkeScotch]

how can i make it so that a node only affects the previous node? example: i am in the color tab. node 1 is film grain and node 2 is blur. i only want to blur the grain, but not the entire video.
