I would love to see a more detailed breakdown of the ACES workflow :)

[stanleymakafui]

Qazi, you think you're making a video for a noob but I know intermediate and pro users come here for your nuggets. This was useful

[kwameampofostudios]

Watching you from Ghana 🇬🇭..thank you for this

[skneeg]

I tried this but when I loaded my footage it was already conformed to rec 709 on the timeline. Im using BRAW footage. I right click on the clip in the color page but it didn't give me the option to do ACES input transform

[SETH]

In this tutorial you go with ACES. In most other tuts you are working in DaVinci WG/ DaVinci Intermediate. Sometimes you use CST nodes and sometimes you change the "input color space" on a node without a CST node. Why does the consistency change?

Re: Color Grading part -- maaan, you've really gotten good at condensing, even simplifying, the whole process. Equally good for professionals and beginners. Kudos man!

[searchmedude]

ACE's for begineers, so B E A U T I F U L, I LOVE YOUR SIMPLICITY. Thanks for this.

[manud]

This was amazing. I loved how you broke down a process that would otherwise be highly complex, into an easy to follow tutorial that leads to great results nonetheless. Sign of someone who's mastered his craft.

[keithbhaven]

Finally. Clear and easy to follow. Thank you.

[ZEUS]

That was totally awesome! As always.
I just started working only with 4 nodes. Corrections. Color Trasnform. Lut. Creative.
In DaVinci WideG.

But I will definitely try aces!!!
Thank you for this brother!!!

The last movie that I watched was "Disney Jungle Cruise". The grade had that vintage orange and teal look making you feel that you were in the 1910s. At some places it had that warm look and some had a properly balanced cold look to drive the mood of the scenes. Overall a Great experience.

Well done 👌👌👌👌 today's tutorial it was really simple and straight forward, it made me understand the DaVinci Resolve overall and how nodes works.. Now I'm interested to download it and start trying Resolve, it looked harder to me but now it's high time I should give it a try 😍😍😍😍😍 well explained👌👌
