Nice demo. It would have been useful to explain why temp/tint create an undesired effect. They are just gain operators on two axis. They aren't designed to serve as balancing tool on log data but rather normalized SDR images. Offset or HDR temp controls work for log but he most accurate balancing would be to convert to linear and then apply only gain changes with primary temp/tint or the gain wheel, then convert back to log.

Man this just opened my eyes to more stuff I need to learn, I always felt that temp and tint didn’t cut it but didn’t know why.
Thanks for sharing this!!!

What a difference, very clean image and so will the vectorscope!!!

[Plastics]

I legit assumed a lot of my footage was unusable becuase temp would not fix this. This is actually amazing. Thanks!

The first time i tried resolve i didnt like the results of the temp picker and intuitively i did exactly what you did. Thanks for proving that this is not unorthodox at all.

[SolidBlueBlocks]

You're right.
When I graded my last film, I used the Temp too and it made my image just as purple-orange and washed out as yours at first!
This is an eye-opener!

The main difference is that when using the offset wheel you are basically offsetting the different color channels while the inclinations and shapes of the curves stay unchanged. this has the advantage of affecting the white balance equally at all levels but it also alters the white and black points which is why he had to redo it later. the tint and temp sliders are also not affecting the shapes of the curves but they adjust the angle starting from the black point keeping it intact. the downside is that they are configured for rec709 signal and thus a rec709 blackpoint. nevertheless they are a good compromise if you want a more straight forward adjustment with less tweaking.

wow. this was amazing and super helpful for me! thank you Vladislav!!

[sonidojamon]

Wow!! Very helpful! Thanks! I saw some other tutorial where the guy said he liked to switch to linear to make this adjustments and adjust exposure as well. What are your thoughts on this?

[FunProjects-pijb]

you are incredible! one of my favorite tutorials ever!!

Clean Tutorial ❤ Expecting More Videos

I was skeptical at first. But the results are undeniable. Looking forward to that next video! Great content. Maybe a little bit more explanation on what you were looking for in your waveform. If I were to repeat this process, I’m not sure if there’s a rule of thumb for the waveform or if it’s just up to the eye. But other than that great job.

Good lesson. I usually dont like any tutorial on YouTube, but this is the correct way to work Nice for the young colorist

[LeafOfAutumn]

Wow... Have watched around 20-30 videos but didn't find it as helpful as this one... Well explained

[the_headlesschicken]

Wow! A nicer approach on balancing the colors. Definitely trying this technique on my next grade. Thanks for this Sir!

[andymcquade]

Wow. This is something I'll watch more than once! Thanks so much.

[SegnoongeS]

Hey great tutorial, why is the video so warm at the beginning?

[johncrisoctaviano]

Greatwork, may i know if did you color manage this footage/clips?

[hamradiowithkevin]

I had not idea, Thank you for showing this method, I just tried your technique on 2 cameras with baked in color and WOW it worked and it blew me away. If you do not more like this for beginners like me, be sure to show how you switch between saved versions and how get the scopes like have in your presentation. The examples and the pace it which you teach was perfect for me. Thank you for the video

Hello Blad, the info you are sharing is very helpful and easy to understand, I am a beginner and I can follow your teaching very well,
very much looking forward to more Videos like this. cheers
