This is honestly a very destructive workflow. For 1 in the raw tab your converting the file to 709, and then your grading, basically you throw away all the advantages of raw and log, and conduct all of your grading on a 709 image. In the Raw tab the output should be redwidegamut log3g10 and you should really change from legacy to Ipp2. Secondly, besides the fact that a proper input gamma wasn't placed in your CST node to correctly use the film lut, you proceeded to use the color warper after the film lut, which led to a ton noise in your background that is clearly visible even after youtube compression. Additionally taking such a narrow approach such as the color warper to create what is a global overall look is very destructive as the effect will introduce a ton of issues when trying to using across multiple shots. Even using the depth mapper, which in itself is a useful tool, using it in this way is still such a narrow approach, when a power window could have produced the same affect in a much smoother, quicker and transferable way. I really appreciate Film Riot and all you give, but your color grading tutorials specifically have done a good job in showing people how granular you can get with the tools in resolve but has failed in showing proper workflows and logical approaches as when grading. Sure I can make 1 shot match using color warper and qualifiers and 3d keyers and magic mask, but can I transfer that look across a short film or a show? You want to approach your canvas with broad strokes, primaries, curves, you can very close to the fablemans look with just those tools, the film lut wasn't a bad idea but from a technical standpoint was implemented incorrectly. When you get to the finer details then you might want to breakout the small brush, qualifies, magic mask, color warper. I hope you don't take this as a shot but as constructive criticism to help you with continuing your efforts in educating people on the film industry.

@filmriot are we not gonna talk about hitting 2 million!?!?! Congratulations! Been watch way, way, way, before a million lol. 12 years strong here! @filmriot

Watching how close it was done is equally entertaining as watching the movie. I don't even have a video editing software on my pc or not intending to use one. You always did a great job on explaining things so that even an average film enthusiast like me can understand the process and enjoy.

Happy new year Film Riot 🎥 🎞 🎦 🎬 📽 ✨, love u guys from over here 🇰🇪

Some things about using the film look LUT are done incorrectly. The LUT expects actual film, but the next best thing we can provide is rec.709 as the gamut (color space) and Cineon Log as the gamma (tonal curve). Ryan only sets the output gamma as Cineon Log. This setup would presume that the incoming signal is already with a rec.709 gamut (color space) and that the timeline gamma is set to whatever the incoming signal's tone curve (gamma) is.

The correct way in this case, as the footage is of gamut (color space) REDcolor4 and gamma REDgamma4 (as was set in the camera raw panel), would be to set the input color space to REDcolor4, the input gamma to REDgamma4, the output color space to rec.709 and the output gamma to Cineon Log.

That being said, REDcolor4 and REDgamma4 are legacy color science and these days REDWideGamutRGB and RED Log3G10 are used instead.

This is my 2c.

Now apply this grade to whole feature film...
This workflow will take a long time...I would never use powerwindows, only if it is absolutely necessary

[JellyBraddock]

Can you make an episode on matching grades between shots? Especially with your more complicated grades like like the first one? The grade looks really complex and seemed tailored specifically to that shot (especially the depth map), and I’d be interested to see how to apply something like that across an entire project where a depth map may not be necessary at all

[aubinspitzer]

Yes! I love some good resolve tutorials.

[Aldsomegaming]

the part where josh says "Logo" is so nostalgic. I remember when I was like 13 when I first saw one of your vids. now I am 23, still have the same shit pc but Its not stopping me from trying to render a 720p 1min clip for nearly an hour but damn the knowledge.

[zahkilovett]

Great stuff, thanks for your breakdown!

[DavidWinstead]

Great color grading guys, those shots look amazing!! I learn so much from this and I thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[arcanoperuano]

Excelente video, colores muy bellos! Thank you!

[CortesFantásticosOficial]

Can you recreate the look of Raiders Of The Lost Ark?

[jahanban]

This is exactly what I was looking for.

[TheFilmmakersWorkshop]

Always so detailed with the workflow. TQ

[prodbyLOTI]

crazy. i didn't know this movie even existed until you posted this video

[swissives]

This is awesome. Thanks for walking throught the steps. Great end result.

[adsmithtx]

learned quit a bit from you video thanks

[imhoinmyhonestopinion]

Great video. I'm glad that you guys are showing more Davinci tutorials. Now if you could go back and remake all your previous videos using Resolve instead of Premiere, lol

[ivanknezevic]

Do you guys have some masterclass on grading in DaVinci Resolve and why not?
