I'm amazed by how much confusion there is on this topic. Darren explains it all succinctly and gets to the point very fast. Well-done!

[evandux]

That CMD + drag trick just made my life so much easier. Thanks for all the great information Darren!

[iamthereforeimustbe]

I’m a total beginner and each of your videos demystifies another area. Perfect 👍🏻

[robinb]

having spent 20+ years in Photo processing this is one of the very few video colorspace tutorials which makes sense to me.
Thank you for that explanation!

[falxonPSN]

Well, holy hell, that makes it super easy and straightforward. It's just the concept of understanding that you want to make your adjustments in as large a color space as possible and convert down later. For those of us used to audio editing/mastering, it's the same idea of doing all your work at high sample rate and bit depth, and then "mixing down" to your desired output at the end.

Thinking about it that way, it makes perfect sense, and this one video basically solved all of the questions I had from other tutorials where they either give factually BAD advice, or they simply tell you "do this" without the reasoning. I tip my hat to you, good sir. 🎩

[VELVET]

as a beginner I wasn't aware of why the CST node is set at the end. Now I understand that, it makes perfect sense. Just Subscribed. Im sure i can learn a lot more from your vids! Thanks

[martindoersch]

Thanks for this explanation!

(Is there somewhere a list on what input and gamma settings you should choose depending on different cameras)

[Moolhood]

Doesn't matter how long I spend trying to understand some concepts and why such nodes goes here and why this and that, all I ever need to do is wait for one of your videos to drop and explain it and it just goes right into my brain and elicits an out loud "Oh I seeee!!" EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

You truly are a magician. Thank you Darren!

[traolachomurchu]

This 11 minute video saved me 11 days work...! Excellent tutorial, thanks Darren.

[acidtears]

My god - I literally opened Resolve for the first time today after using Premiere for the past 2 years, and although I have limited understanding of color spaces, your explanation made it incredibly clear... Thank you very much!

[ellieusmusic]

Thank you so much. Sorry for the super long comment that I left. I would love to hear on a recomendable node tree for 12bit Cinema DNG from a Sigma Fp.
Once again thank you!

[felixxyzz]

Thats probably the best Video i found to that Topic.

When you start as an Beginner you normally try to watch more than 1 Video about an Topic and then in the first Video its perfectly explained why you use a CST Node at the End and in the Second Video you watch its perfectly explained why you use 2 CST Nodes and then you're totally confused 😅

Great Explanation when to use which structure and why!

[suminkim]

Thank you very much . Finally understood after 1 year of searching and watching millions of youtube 😮😊

[kvxmujz]

Great tutorials! Learning a lot! And NOW I understand why using a larger colour space for the timeline is advantageous, even when then "funneling" down to a smaller one i.e. Rec.709. Kudos!

[trizzleseven]

I'm working with the CST in the nodes for a long time now. Your workflow just keeps it more easier for me regarding the groups etc. Thank you!

[pstuarts]

This is a really confusing topic, and you make it easy. Thank you so much, keep up the amazing work!!

[ausdoug]

You’re a legend. So helpful. Thank you.

[bbitirim]

Darren, I have been watching color grading tutorials for years and I just discovered your channel. The way you explain how it works is incredible! I can't show my appreciation enough. It's like you opened my mind and placed the knowledge in it. Thank you very much and please keep up the great work. You're an amazing artist and tutor!

[adiewhereat]

As a photographer coming over into video I’m finding your tutorials extremely useful.
Thanks very much.

[JacobSteed]

You're the only person I've seen who can explain concepts like these that don't make me feel like an idiot. Thank you :)
