This has been something I've had so much trouble wrapping my head around. Thank you for making such a clear and concise video to explain this!

[sashazephiria]

Taking a break from my client project to watch this :D !

[Keizamani]

Am waiting for the day you gonna color grade black magic pocket 4k raw footage. Making them sharp and pop.


I really can’t stop watching all your videos

[mridulshukla]

Can you please make a video explaining how and why do we use a calibration device for a monitor?

[pierarena]

Hi there. Great tutorial, as usual. I was wondering how to keep a correct color space/gamma workflow when roundtripping to after Effects for vfx shots. I always get it pretty close, but never quite perfect. Any suggestion? Maybe a tutorial? Thanks Qazi!

I am using adobe premier pro and I have color setup as wide gamut tone mapping, output color space rec 709 . When I use my phantom luts, the colors look crazy, but when I switch the color setup to REC 709 the lut works fine. Do you know what might be happening or how to fix it?

[mkoepf]

Which Input should I use in CST when I shoot with PP off, I can't find anything for that and would be happy for some help :)

[hohhan]

Such a missinformig explanation...
Gammut is brightness agnostic color representation wile colourspace is brightness avere and can represent all 3
color, saturation AND brightness.

So for starters: gammut + gamma = colorspace

Why you made that stupid point with two exactly the same slides of ACI colourspace with same gammuts on top as deferention of two different points, it so ...🤦

Hey! I can't figure out how to see this display information from my laptop on Windows 11. I can only see Bit Depth, Color Space and color format and Refresh rate (HZ). Anyone knows how to find this info?

[javadfani]

Question: why should I shoot in S Log 3 with Lots of information and then change the colours from BT 2020 to Rec 709( though on Sony a7c the normal PP is 8Bit also the S Log) ?
Q2: How much can we bring changes to an 8 Bit footage?

[haljordan]

Thanks for this. Only wish you could've dived more into how it should affect your grading workflow with real time examples.

[faizankhan]

can you explain whats the point of shotting in12bit raw when we view it on 8bit displays

[DayMixer]

How do I access those monitor presets on a windows computer? 00:04:25

How to find out what colour gamut my laptop is and what colorspace I've shot my footage in on camera

[pepeborderiaribes]

I paid a presencial color grading course and I wish I saw your videos before. You’re by far the best one when it comes to color grading. Thanks for your videos.

[thorstenferstl]

Thank you so much Quazi! No one could explain this better...
