DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE when Color Grading | DaVinci Resolve 18 Color Space Transform

Thanks a lot!!!!

I love your videos, man!

Thankyou so much, what about the noise reduction node? where should I put it ?

🎉🎉🎉

great video so much information

Watching this on a sunday 🙂

Hi, I'd like to learn color grading and at the moment GoPro 7 black is what I have and will upgrade later as I progress. What CST should I use to grade this GoPro footage?

HELP, ROOKIE HERE!!!
HOW DO I GRADE MULTI-CAM (EXAMPLE 5 TRACKS) INDIVIDUALLY AFTER CREATING A MULTI-CAM CLIP. NOT THE EDITS INDIVIDUALLY BUT THE SOURCE CLIP? GARY

This is an old video but can some tell me what I use for a Sony a6000 I’ve tried and everything comes out with a lot of noise I’m using neutral and everything is -3 I can’t seems to get anything to work

Hi. When do you do or put a CST when using a lut?? Or is the CST and lut the same effect?? Beginner here.

What if I shot it with an iPhone 14, which color space should I be using? Can´t find anything that matches what I originally had in cam..

Can anyone explain to me what do I set me timeline color space to when I'm using cst in and out and why? Thats something I don't see an explanation for in any video I watched so far or anything I've read so far.

do I have to use CST when using LUTs

What color space transform setting should I start with if I’m recording on an Iphone? (13 to be exact)

THANK YOU

I believe the bottom line is this: When you add a node to a project, it defaults to the timeline rec709 project color space. Nodes after the CST to Arri will expect working in rec709. You need to tell the nodes after the CST that you’re now working in Arri. Just right click the nodes after the CST and select Color Space Arri and then also select Gamma Arri LogC. Now your controls will also work correctly in the Arri color space.

Yeah I always do the cst at the very end then sometimes “blur/sharpen, dehance, halation”after the cst. Then if using a LUT, I use it very last in the node tree

What would be your approach while filming with BMPCC 6k in RAW?
I'm newbie with BMPCC, and I always struggle with colors, to get them contrasty and colorful but at the same time to be pleasing to the eye.

I usually put it in the middle.

Temp → Exposure → CST → Look → Skin Tones → Effects

Next time I'll try
Temp → Exposure → Look→ Skintones→ CST → Effects

Thank you for this

you transform the color space in the color grading, why not first in Edit mode where I can bring rec709 as well?

Sir Please tell us, mistake we make in Nodes building

what if you just duplicated the first node and put cst on the second node ?? would this be any better ????

The only CST where this would be applicable is the timeline out for display/ or render. The reason you put it at the end is that when the target is different you can maintain your grade - i.e. The majority of a grade doesn't change when going from SDR to HDR except the top end /highlights - so except for a trim pass to extend or edit the highlights , your grade won't change much.
Scene referred should be where you do any sharpening. By doing it after the CST it becomes display referred - again if the CST out changes target - editing sharpness might want to be done prior to the display output.

I tend to keep everything in scene referred that would or should be done on set. I think that sharpening falls into that category.
It should be noted as well that a CST on the first node to establish the color space from the camera should be done right up front and the last CST would take that color space and transform it for display ( output ). You can of course have that set up in the project settings as well ( the input ). So if you had the project set up for ARRI Alexa -Log C - a CST wouldn't be needed on a clip that is shot on that camera. But if one of the clips is Sony Slog or any other camera - then you would need to tell Resolve that on the first node. Setting the top to timeline and output to ( Whatever camera you are using ).

CST or Media Tab Rightlick on Clip and choosing a LUT? Are these two the same or is one better than the other?

Humble man to admit the video idea was from a viewer and that you also had a delay before remembering.
Respect ++

Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. Watching all the way from Vanuatu 😁😀👍🔥🔥🇻🇺🇻🇺🇻🇺

Good work..thanks a lot..but the subtitles are blocking the tips and tricks and the way you show it.. please place subtitles in different position so that we can see the screen and work completely. Thanks a lot.

My brain exploded like Nagasaki but i slowly understood the whole video the more i watched it

Mylosp just a legend really aren’t ya

man, youre the best!

Nasty charge never said it did but ok

Is this safe as I get a warning and a firewall block on davincipaneldaemon.exe by windows

So what if I’m just shooting in a flat profile and not log? What would you suggest?? Do I color grade as if it’s log or as if it’s not ?

I like the setup Waqas uses.. 7 nodes based on the 3513 film look. 1 is the IDT where he puts the first color transform, 2 and 3 are for balance and look, 4 is used to create an inverted circle window for light, 5 is the curve, 6 is cst where he puts the other color space transform, 7 is his FPE where he uses the film look lut 3513. Davinci Wide Gamut color space. Great for going from log to rec709 with a nice film look.

Trying to get into resolve coming from Premiere Pro, but shooting with iPhone and filmic pro. Usually Log v2, but with ProRes 709 its log v3+. What should I choose here in my settings in Resolve shooting with a phone camera and apps?

So after the transform the information is lost, did I get that right?

Excellent as always - cheers Joris 🙏🏻

Why do U work n Rec 709 timline instead in a Wide gamut color space tmeline such as ACES?

Nice Tutorial as always Joris - I have a question: in CST there is nothing for my Canon EOS M6 using Cinestyle what can I use? Actually, I want to experiment in Neutral but...let's see

Jesus is Lord!

You can put a LUT node after the CST , then Sharpening. First node should be Denoise if needed
thats the way i learned it anyways.

Please make video for color grading 8 bit standard profile footage

Hello, we don't speak English very well but we understood something, we wanted to ask you what difference there is in configuring in CST in Output color space and output gamma Rec 709, Gamma 2.4, use timeline and the different combinations?... And to know if we want to make any changes color, look or something creative, should everything also be done before the CST? Thank you!!! 👍

Only 1 node should be after CST node: a LUT node. :)

Really appreciate this tip. The sequence of nodes has been a bit of a mystery. Actually showing us with your clip was great. Showing is better than telling!
