What is a LUT? Simply put, think of it like a filter for your video footage. You apply a LUT to one of your clips and the data inside that LUT immediately color corrects your footage to look a certain way.

LUUUUUUTS! Thumbs up for tasty footage! Which LUT is your favourite?
Is your LUT Pack fur Davinci (plug and lay)?
Serato it’s for all programs that accept cube files. Fcpx premier photoshop and yes absolutely davinci
@@JamieFenn oh..cool, I did not know that yet, as I've only recently begun to study it. Have DR16 newly discovered for me, generally create videos. Thank you!
@@JamieFenn Could you. make a little video,
How to work with your file in DR16 when you have loaded it?
@@serato8330 Not sure what you mean
Little tip - if you use the same node tree structure all the time - do it once and save it as a Powergrade - then when you start you can just add the powergrade to all your clips at the same time.
Yes! Either way works. :D
How to save the node tree structure as you said? :D
@@DEADEYESpress you can save it as a still (right click on the image if I remember well, in the color tab) and then you can drag that still from the stills gallery to the power grade gallery. That power grade will be there every time you open Resolve.
@@JamieFenn hey, you didn't say what to do if the shot is not balanced in the color balancing node. You referenced that the shot was effectively balanced, and moved on. If you'd be willing to reply, that would be helpful
if someone better than you is doing the work you should not show off pretending you know everything 😂😂😂
Dang, I was just trying to mess around with this last night, and was getting frustrated with my lack of understanding. This tutorial is great, just what I was needing!
Neil Oler wonderful to hear that! This is a great place to start and get a good foundation! Thanks for the kind words!
I just watched the outro of this video and that last color grading where the woman walks toward the end of the cliff blew my mind. It was unbelievable. You are extremely talented and than you so much for helping us make our lives easier with your tutorial. You the man!!!
Hey thank you sooo much! Those were all my Luts at 100 percent so the Luts may look strong. Cheers mate!
You are an absolute hero for doing all this. Can’t be any more grateful. Stay awesome my friend!
Wow than you so much! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great video man! I've watched quite a few vids about colour grading but this one is the best yet. Thanks for explaining everything the way you did and you got some sick talent! Keep it up
Thanks so much! I already graded some old Flat GoPro footage. Totally stepped up my color grading game. You Rock!
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for the kind words. Glad you liked the video!
You saved me heaps of time and bumped up my confidence in one fell swoop. Thanks so much.
My job is done! hahah you're welcome.
Jamie, I am very much a beginner and have been struggling with color grading! This was an awesome tutorial! I am still a little baffled by the whole LUTs thing... Honestly Davinci is overwhelming just starting off but your tutorials have been great! Thanks again!
Thank you for the kind words, remember though, luts are not essential for color grading. Think of them as a personal taste of putting a digital filter on your footage. Sometimes at first you think its great but you may come back to watch it and realize it looks like crap. Use them sparingly. Maybe turn them down to 10-20% strength.
Dude, definitely earned my Sub. Love your videos! You make them so easy to follow!
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for the vid! I needed a little help getting used to DiVinci Resolve, and you knocked it out of the park. Appreciate it!
Kirk Nelson that’s awesome Kirk! Glad this helped you out. 😁 hope you’re staying safe and healthy!
Dude! So glad I decided to watch this video. I've been learning Davinci Resolve and this video just helped me out tremendously Thanks!
Michael Sing I’m so glad you did too! Thanks for the kind words. Glad you learned a lot!
Great video! I watched it 3x already and its been very helpful. Will probably watch 3 more times!!!
hahah YESSSS!!! Thank you :D
Wow, this was so unbelievably helpful. Grading is definitely my weak spot so I really appreciate this!
Joe Ludwig it’s a good starting point. Very basic workflow. Glad you enjoyed it!
Best VFX teacher ever on CZcams love from INDIA🇮🇳
Im honored! Thank you so so much :D
Love this channel. Gotta get my color grades on point
I know this is an old video. But man! Thank You! I honestly think I got a much better understanding of C.G & how to use LUTs... I've watched a million tutorials on C.G and it just never cliccs for me.... But I think it did with this video. Cant wait to get home and try it on my Laptop.... ❤
Thank you so much! i have learned a bunch of things from this tutorial.
You're very welcome!
Hi Jamie, thank you for this tutorial!

today is May 10th 2020 .. and just random click on this video...
and you know Mr. Jamie or am i say Sir Jamie .. you kick of all tutorial on color grading. this is the best CG video i ever seen. and you know one thing..
i am switching Davinci Resolve from PP because of you.. i learn 80% Davinci from your video .. 10% other CZcamsr and 10% practice.. (it doesn't mean that i am master)
i learn more from you .. so carry on Sir Jamie .. #RESPECT
Wow, thanks! What an amazing compliment! Cheers mate
I'm really happy you are using your own productions as background music. That sidechain though......
Agreed. I uploaded the wrong render and its too late now. lol
The best tutorial. Thanks
Thank you!
I'm so glad I came across your channel.
Me too!
Thank you, this was really helpful
You're so welcome! Glad to hear that :D
I'm first)))
Thank you a lot, for you video tutorial 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hey thank you so much! Hope you learned a lot! :D
Thank you for this. finally someone that breaks it down in a simple workflow. One question: If you have multiple footage some shot in a profile some not and you are adding a LUT to all of it, do you apply the colour correction nodes 1st or do you apply the LUT node 1st then work on the colour correction nodes
Depends on the video, but usually I will add two nodes, and drop a LUT on the second node and make primary corrections on the first node.
Man you are great! thanks!
Thank you!!! Hope you learned a lot 😁
Thanks for this, great job. Super helpful.
No problem Brian. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for your work!
My pleasure!
Great overview and quick tips to get up and going in Davinci.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing tutorial. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
this is i was searching since long. thankyou
Thank you for explaining waveforms and LuTs
Glad it was helpful!
The, first tutorial I'm gonna follow throughly
Its a basic workflow so it should get you started. Definitely work on every aspect of the corrections and how to do them differently. And try out multiple corrections on one node. Enjoy!
Number 1 FUn here i learn a lot for few day
Awesome sidechain effect bruh!!
Thank you! Cheers!
bro nice video again
good foundation for color grading, thanks a ton
No problem 😌
On your intro, you use effects like the lines and the pop of light to simulate film. Is that something we can do in Davinci or do you provide that in a package?
Superb!
Greatttttttt!!!!!!!!! THANKS!
You're welcome!
I DID NOT UNDERSTAND A THING BUT MAN YOU ARE FULL OF SKILLS
hahaha practice man practice!
@@JamieFenn I am learning fusion pretty deap right now but man Davinci got A LOT of thing to master. Your vids are helping a lot tho. keep up the good work you are amazing man
For sure. I have a bunch of fusion tuts on my channel so feel free to check them out to help you more!
One of the best Tutorials for beginner Like me
Thanks!!! Cheers 🙌🏼
Ya
Thanks for the video! I notice that your workspace layout has 3 panels on the bottom separating the color wheel, curves, and scopes. My version only has 2 panels where the color wheels, curves, etc. switch and the scopes, info, etc switch. How can I change it like yours? It looks a bit more streamline that way.
I think its the size of your screen.
thanks alot dude
No problem!
Thanks for all the Resolve tutorials. Much appreciated. Question: Do you have problems importing DJI 4K .MP4 video into Resolve? I get an error that reads 'Media Offline' even when I point to it. No one on the forums is of much help.
Nope no problem.
thanks man!!!
No problem!
great video, thanks for posting. Is this software more used for video, or can it be used to get the same results for photos?
Dave Dyck you could edit photos in it but it may not be the same as lightroom or other programs.
Added this video to my favs and subscribed. What an amazing guide man! I will browse your other videos too!!
I've got one question: How can I deal with the "white sky"? I have a video where I walk through trees and the sky is white and bright! I don't know how to fix that.
If you have a video explaining that kind of stuff please point me to it! :D
sounds like it could have been over exposed in camera. try bringing the gain down. If the whites are clipped in camera then theres nothing you can do.
Good tips, LIKED and SUBED
Heyy!!! Thank you so much and welcome to the channel! Feel free to check out my other videos and let me know what you think.
Highlight recovery only works if you're shooting off the native iso (400 and 3200 on pocket 4k) and won't fix your highlights if you're overexposed in the native iso.
etx313 glad to know. Didn’t know that!
Good tutorial
Thank you!
Subscribed Jamie. How did you add the white lines vertically down the screen, like in your intro? Thanks
Welcome to the channel!
It would be very nice if you can make a video on how to goto davinci from fcpx for color grading a project!.
I never use FCPX anymore. And that would be a FCPX tutorial most likely.
Thanks Jamie. If only I watched this before creating content. My drone videos are so much better.
You’re so welcome! Thank you 😁
just wonderful basic stuff
Thabk you . so much
Oleksander Lebid it’s a great foundation for sure. And I wanted to make sure to create something like this so my next tutorials could be more advanced and people could refer back to this as I make more videos! And you’re welcome! 😁
@@JamieFenn that make a lot of sense. Personally, I'm a post-production mixer, sound designer, but I'm pretty much like some video stuff, but because I'm unstoppable I decided to use all pages from resolve, and do it with understanding of process, and your video is a game-changer for me.
that's so great to hear. And Im glad that you have started with a good Color grading foundation.I am actually a music producer/sound designer as well :D Search - "The Universe Express" on soundcloud. Thats me :D Let me know what you think!
@@JamieFenn it does not my emotional music by now, but you have good feelings with no doubts.
So you kinda all-inclusive worker or just switch your professional passion from music to color ?
Thank you. Yes all inclusive is a good way to put it.
Best color grading tutorial on youtube. I graded a project as I watched your lesson and it came out great. Really advanced my learning curve. Thank you. My Channel is Flying wild Guatemala.
FLYING WILD GUATEMALA! Glad you enjoyed it! It’s nice to know it’s helped your videos!!!
Hi Jamie, Really liked your shortcuts, especially APPLY GRADE.... I use that a lot, but you made a node for SHARP. Did I miss something? Did you show adjustments for that node? BTW...please send link to purchase your LUTS...could not "find it below]"....Thanks
Link for luts on my online store are in the description. But heres the link anyways
sellfy.com/p/inbrhd/
Awesome
Thanks for the very detail tutorial, Jamie! Now I can do color grading easier than before!
BTW, I've got stuck at the step: apply grade to other clips -> after select other clips, apply grade -> all the nodes in my edited color grading were gone -> what am i doing wrong? Please advise!
Sounds like you did it backwards. I did that the first time XD And thank you so much I tried to keep it very simple for this first video. Glad you learned a lot!
@@JamieFenn yes, i did all the color things and applied it to the rest clips. So why couldn't we do it? How to fix it?
Also, i found out: can copy the color grade as Grab Still and apply it to the rest for more easier! :D
I had the same issue.
The problem was which thumbnail / clip i was right clicking on on the timeline to 'apply grade'.
So, assuming you have added the extra nodes to the first thumbnail in the timeline.
You then left click on the second clip, hold shift and click on the very last clip on the timeline, to select all the other video clips (except the first one).
THEN right click on the 1st clip to bring up the menu, select 'Apply Grade' and the nodes created on the first clip will be copied to all the other selected clips!
So you;re telling davinci, apply the settings from the first clip to all the other selected clips.
Hope this helps, took me a few minutes to figure out.
I'm confused at 3:11 if i say apply grade the layout isn't on the other clips
thank you
You're welcome!
Nice video
glad you like it.
Hi, do you have an idea how to convert rec709 to rec2020?
At 3:14, I thought how did Jamie Applied the grade, I tried it and it was not doing it. But the answer is actually at 13:10. Thannks Jamie Fenn
shit, thanks!
I had the same problem too at 3:14, but thanks Richard Galido for bringing this up.
nice job
Thanks Nathan!
How do you get 2 different colour grading windows open (eg. Colour wheels and blur) at the same time next to each other ?
alexjonesedits it should default like what mine looks like. You could try going up to the workspace and adjusting things there maybe. Also it depends if you’re screen is big enough to show them at the same time.
Jamie Fenn okay thanks for the help!
I recently found out that to apply nodes from one clip (a) to all other clips (b, c, & d) is that you highlight the clips you want to copy the nodes to (b, c, & d) middle mouse click on the highlighted (b, c, & d) then middle mouse click on the single clip (a) you want to copy from.
Correct. Im on an apple mouse so I dont have that option haha
@@JamieFenn well to quote JD from scrubs "I got 3 words for you, sucks to be, adding a fourth, you" haha nah
Ever thought about getting a third party app to customise? Assuming you're using the magic mouse.
just subrscribed right now! I have some RED footage with a green color dominant, how can i balance it?
The great thing about davinci is that there could be many ways to fix a problem. If its raw adjust the temp and tint to get correct white balance.
Guys ..
Do I need to buy the full version of davince resolve to color grade my footages professionally !!
yoyo2012yoyo Professionally - yes. But if you have to ask that question you should start with the free version first.
me after this tutorial: endgame was perfectly balanced as all films should be
True that!
The amount of cream that left my trousers from that intro alone
lol
k
Brilliant tutorial that really opened up a simple but comprehensive grading process.
My only complaint is that you had the branded intro clip, did your intro talk then had more branded intro clips.
Glad you liked it! What do you mean branded clips?
how you can videos for edition tests?
Great videos - I cannot seem to find how I get bars, curve and scope in the bottom. I only get two possibilities. I know It’s a beginner thing🥴 kind regards Soren
Click at the top and modify your workspace. Theres also a couple things you can click on to expand the workspace as well but its hard to explain it...
Just a little comment on my own question. I'm on a mac air, and Davinci resolve by default merge the windows in the color tab - I therefore downloaded disablemonitor (who knows if it´s friend or foe, but it works). when I change the resolution (and use my good eyesight) I now get a separated tool-line in the color tab. Kind regards Soren
Brand new to davinci but what is the benefit to creating a bunch of different nodes instead of just doing all the color adjustments under same node. i don't get fancy with the color, just to get it looking right.
Flexibility between your adjustments. Also each adjustment affects each other differently depending on which corrections come first in the node tree.
You can do a basic correction all in one node, but separating out parts of the grade into their own nodes helps you stay organized and allows you to temporarily turn off or make specific adjustments without impacting other nodes. Serial nodes flow or cascade from one node to the next. For example, if you pushed the image to blue in one node and yellow in the next, the two nodes would end up negating each other and the result is a neutral image again.
Nodes allow you to do very specific adjustments.
What effect you used to do the wipe effect of before after ?
My Stock the wipe transition
hey, Jamie can you please do a tutorial video on how to do the flash effect (Flash from dc comics or films)
Thanks
What specifically do you mean the flash effect?
@@JamieFenn i am talking about - effect of flash when he runs and all the light and electricity comes from his back all that
sir can you make a video what the meaning of all converter deliver what render what we need or what are kinds of them when we render the video
Like what exactly? The default settings work great. The manual has detailed specs.
yes sir specaialy when you uplod video in youtube
How can I easily apply one correction to all my clips, for if they are from one shot that was cut into multiple pieces?
create and apply a power grade. or copy and paste nodes.
@@JamieFenn thanksss , no faster way? like using a group?
Im not sure what you mean by group. Powergrade is what I think you're looking for.
How to set white balance if I don't have a white spot on the clip?
Try to shoot it correctly in camera first, then youll have to just do it by eye and its up to you what you think looks balanced.
how to make the transition between the before and after video that you did it in the beginning of the video
its a simple wipe
Is that Ableton Live on your pc monitor? Anyone noticed that? You a musician? I'm one,maybe we'll be good friends 😍😊. Anyway, your videos are becoming super helpful to me. Thank you so much 🙏
Yes that is! Hahaha Maybe one day :D
Hi,
How to remove green cast in davinci? Green cast from irnd filter.
Push the opposite color into your video on the offset color wheel for that clip.
Hey Jamie, great video! Really helpfull for me as a beginner. I have a question though: Is there a general rule when to apply a lut? I thought you first colour correct the scenes and then apply luts. But you started this process with adding a lut. What are the thoughts behind this?
Much love from switzerland
Theres rec 709 transform luts that take log or flat footage and roughly get it to a normal color space, and then theres color grading luts that are more of a "look" that give your video a style!
@@JamieFenn got it👍 and hey its so cool that you take the time to answer all the questions in the comment section. Thank you so much!
I try to keep up :D
the best
Great video, brightened my mind on using DResolve for color grading. Couple of questions. 1) How to add additional panel to the bottom of the screen? You've got 3 (Color Wheels, Histogram, Scopes) and I've only have 2. 2) Second question is about viewing default image: is there a quick way to turn on/off particular node to inspect how picture changes when I make... changes? =)
1. It depends how big your screen is. 2. Click on the node and deactivate it. command d.
@@JamieFenn 1. You mean there is no way do add more "plates"? Thats odd...
@@AlexStavrovich You can add more but you can select what you can see vs. me with a bigger screen without having to open different plates on a smaller screen. I don't know what it looks like so click around or google and you'll find what you need. Sorry I couldn't help you further.
Anybody know how to move an image around when zoomed in in Resolve 16 or is it only possible on a 3 button mouse still? Thanks for any answers.
Scrollwheel for me. Don't know about 2 button mice.
flo richi yes the scroll wheel zooms and out but once zoomed in how do you move the image around once zoomed in? Kind of like the hand tool in photoshop where you can move the image?
@@ekphotography By clicking the wheel.
flo richi I know, but I am asking if there is another way with non 3 button mouse
Are the nodes similar to an adjustment layer in Premiere?
Never used premiere so i don't know. Theres an adjustment layer in davinci as well
@@JamieFenn Layers in Premiere is the same concept that you see in Photoshop. Nodes is a different approach to in some respects to do the same thing but they are also use to create special effects. Premier has After effects. Davinci uses notes to achieve the many of the same things without having (in the current versions) to go to an external version. Nodes are actually more flexible but harder to understand. Think of it more as a flow chart of the things you are trying to do. Where layers is like the old projectors with transparencies stacked on top. Also, there are different types of nodes that can give you additional control. Obviously, there is a big learning curve to nodes because they have so many uses.
Should I really turn sharpness all the way down when shooting? Wont this make my image too soft/blurry? I have a canon c300. Is this tip camera specific or should I be turning sharpness all the way down on all cameras?
The sharpness your camera has is a built-in digital sharpness. It's better to do your sharpening on a more powerful, proper software such as Resolve.
Agreed.
I recommend doing the sharpening in post. If you bake the settings into the video before you process it in post it limits the flexibility of the clip. You can't really reduce sharpness in post besides making it blurry. So might as well start with no sharpness on. Depends on your turnover rate for editing and final export as well.
Shoutout to Casey Faris for the sweet LUT hookup over at Ground Control.
