We would like to see a video on LOG vs RAW.

[LuckeGabriel]

Thanks for addressing BM's failings. This is the first place I recommend people wanting to learn about colouring. I am finding there's a lot of people really keen on the colour editing when they're getting started with software and to have someone who can make things seem simple enough to understand is really helping the next gen for colourists!

[kenvision]

I don't see someone better than you hear on YouTube teaching about colour grading really appreciate your work man and thank you for teaching right way ✨🙏🏻💗

First video of yours that i understand 100 %

[imranmohammed]

Awesome video! Please make a video about dynamic range!

[SaikanthKrishnaVlogs]

I found this page after looking for Davinci Tutorials. I believe your explanation is the greatest. Subscribed and liked.

yeeaaahh do the dynaimc range video ! being a cinematographer yourself i think that you also should do a video about how to lit some thinking about the grading itself ( luma, sat, hue ) is it better to shoot as close as you want the final product be? also i been having trouble with noise in cameras like RED or Blackmagic pocket or Sony fx9/fx6 even when i intend to do some low key exposure and leave some black spots in the shot, and if a low it to much it makes WAY too much contrast for the client but when i finally get to the sweet spot where i park my blacks it gets some noise, i know that all of this would be better if i take your course, unfortunally i cant afford it but some day i will <3, im a DoP and Colorist in process from ARG and love your stuff, (tutorial and grading-wise), best wishes qazi !

Definitely interested in the dynamic range video, and specifically how it affects working with the footage in post. I understand the concept of dynamic range, but what does more or less dynamic range look like when you’re working with LOG footage? Are there examples of where less dynamic range causes issues when correcting and grading? If so, what kinds of situations cause that? Especially when delivering in Rec709. Thanks!

You're quickly becoming my go to channel for video editing. THANK YOU. Keep it coming!

[josephjebarajs]

Please do a video on dynamic range... And this video was way informative. Thanks for the knowledge bro...❤

[AdamSzarmack]

Agreeing with a couple other commenters below. The past year I have completely switched to shooting in BRAW and would love to see you do a video going into more depth about the issues with BM’s color science when it comes to conversion. I watch so much of your stuff but I’d LOVE to get your full break down on BRAW because many of your vids are from Alexa LOG. I try to apply a lot of the methods you teach from AFTER conversion but as far as pre-conversion I am taking my best guess. Love ya Qaz man!

[Photogabi]

Haha - 2:09 - "they really need to stop". Amen brother. BM has a way of complicating things when not needed. Great video Qazi!!

[MediaUK]

awesome man, a dynamic range video will be super dope. Thanks for the great content.

[aaphotofilm]

Salaam qazi bhai. I'm glad your doing these videos from the absolute basic. This is what I wanted to see. Easier to understand too

[cupofjoen]

I always learned something REAL from your channel, Qazi. Thank you for this!

[hombretrauma]

What is LOG? Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me...no more (sorry, I had to do it)

[axelestebanseleme]

Sounds like the song.. "What is love"!! baby don´t hurt me.. no You Rock Qazy!!!!

[SaikanthKrishnaVlogs]

Please do a video on export settings in Davinci for YouTube and Instagram reels

[flipnap]

love your stuff and been a long time viewer. im not sure I understand why BM would be confusing. shoot BRAW with latest gen color science. Thats pretty much it. They've simply left the older versions if people want to use them.

[lentsi]

Mee too. Keen to know more about dynamic range
