your each footage is good already, I never see you fix the bad footage or fix the wrong white balance footage

I've been doing Flame for over 11 years. These tutorials have taught me so much more about how to effect color than the brute forced methods I've developed.

This are fantastic tutorials, happy to subscribe to one of our workshops as soon as I find the time! Thanks so much!

Great way of contrasting temp and tint and the offset wheel using the vectorscope! That really showcased the nuanced control. Also, love the pro tip of how to make the log wheels (HDR) colorspace aware at the node level.

This has been an extremely useful video. I recently started shooting in S-log and up until now I have not being getting the full benefit of shooting that way. Thank you very much. The HDR Palette method is my preferred method.

[Crimsonland]

Thx, hard to comprehend this stuff but after 100s of shorts im finally starting to get the hang of it. Color grading is beyond fun…

[sashazephiria]

Super useful tips here :D ! Thanks a lot ! I tend to use more and more offset/printerlights to balance my shots and fine tune the white points with gain, and blackpoints with the shadows wheel controlling the low range ^^

[DFD]

I've learned some new techniques and tools from this video. Thank you!

[MrJackthelord]

Great video! Question, why would you ever use the primaries palette, as opposed to the HDR palette, given the latter seems much more subtle and camera aware?

[minutebeatz]

Man you graded good for Parker walbeck's video, the colours are soooo similar we failed toooo🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️


And I don't even know I'm waiting for this tutorial but it is very helpful, keep rocking man.

[robertdankowski]

Great tutorial. Never used really used offset be4. It helped me a lot with getting toned cinematic look today. Definitely gonna start using it a lot. Thank you :)

[JeremiahBostwick]

This was a super useful guide and very insightful as to why you'd use one set of correction tools over another. I'm definitely going to be using different sets of tools for different results now! I've always been unsatisfied with the temp/tint adjustments.

I would perhaps ask for maybe a "why" video behind this though, because what wasn't discussed was perhaps the philosophy behind finding certain white balances or white points and you instead mostly corrected it entirely by eye, you didn't even use the vector-scope to attempt to get your actors skin on the flesh line. So with that, getting insight as to the why's behind how you white balance a certain way would also be really helpful.

[hoyparasiempre]

Merci. Good sense of colors ! Brilliant demonstrations and very actual (refreshed)

[koushikbhattacharya]

i did not find any practice footage can u plz tell me where i found those footages?

[rezaVfx]

Great tut Jake thx! Thx for using mouse that everyone can follow up

[scookfilm]

Awesome thank you for the knowledge. Been using P lights a lot more, thanks to the process I learned from the free lance masterclass course. Definitely worth every penny and then some.

[sudancinema-]

Knowledge is an art, but education is another art in its own right

[northmob]

Bro you're videos are the best on youtube

[BayuRahmawan_id]

why davinci doesnt have feature to select skin and do the correct WB by itself ?

[marjankrebelj]

Really really helpful! Lots of thanks. I'd just suggest you de-ess your audio or clip some of the higher frequencies for more pleasant listening. :)
