Best Dehancer promo I have ever seen on YT! Onest and profesional. Thanks for all the color grade info, especially for the process - start to finish, real word examples.
Thank You for such honest reply ❤️
Yes.. i am rethinking to buy😅
Best color grading tutorial ever! Thanks for your works!
Thank You 🤗 Very appreciate that ❤️
Fantastic, I loved it
Amazing work
Looks really nice. I'm wondering about speed though as dehancer can't be controlled with panels. In the end of the day, dehancer is just giving us the same controls that resolve already has plus some Luts. Just as an example: Why adjust highlight temperature in dehancer when it could be done with a color wheel using a panel - with the advantage of being able to balance gamma and gain with both hands simultaneously? Does dehancer treat the colors nicer or something? What's the actual advantage?
Thanks Vlad keep up the great work 😎
Thank You, surely I will 🙌
Thank you so much Vlad for sharing your skills and knowledge with us. This tutorial is very helpful for the beginners. 😊
Thank You 🙌 Its all about my workflow because everyone uses his tools and gets different results too. Happy if it helps 🤗 And I think that we are all the beginners, we learn something new everyday and will be learning for a whole life 👌

Thanks!!
Nice video! Greetings from Serbia!
Thank You 🙌 Greetings from Lithuania 🤗
Thank you very much for this step by step tutorial 🏆💪🏾💪🏾
Thank alot for watching 🙌
Really good video, thank you very much... 🎉
another great video, this channel will reach great places✨
Thank You 🤙 I really hope this information helps You 🙌
@@VladislavNovickij really useful information🙏🏻
Need that blackmist power grade node graph at this point. Nice work, really love what you do. Learned so many things from you these few days.
Thanks alot 🙌 Glad to help ❤️
impressive!
Thanks 👌
I think this is a good show of how dehancer set up is obtained. My only thought on the matter is that in almost all cases where there is a unique look to a film grade that the workflow would be to develop the look then apply the look first to the footage and set the exposure/balance sat etc. under the look. For consistency in a project not sure dehancer being in the middle of the node tree pack without explaining that the fixed node tree would have it set up first in that position - so you can ripple any other trim after it to all the nodes in a group or selection.
Also Cullen's HSV technique - I would tell people to have all the steps of setting it up already in place on the fixed node tree, so you don't have to set it up for each clip. You can also instead of turning off channel 1 and then turning off channel 3 - you can just simply use the green level on the Gain wheel to control channel 2 only. It is exactly the same thing. I think Cullen probably finds it easier to use the control panel wheel, but it essentially does the same thing.
The new film creator OFX is being compared to dehancer, but I wonder if you used the new OFX in conjunction to a film stock LUT that they might be more comparable in the final look? Don't know - but would be interesting if a colorist tried the combination and then put the looks side by side, and see how comparable they are.
Thanks for Your detailed comment and also for a tip about Cullen’s HSV saturation.
I always firstly do some minor adjustments like exposure, balance and saturation to have a propper image ready for a look creation in Dehancer. While Your image is incorrect Dehancer will also create an incorrect look. Its always a colorist’s choise how it works and what works better for him but I personally do that way and it works for me 🤗
I have Rsaolve’s film creator on my second computer and tested it already. I just have other projects in process so did not rist to update to Resolve 19 in my main computer yet.
But I still think that its unfair comparing them yet. Them are different but with some same functions. Will see how the film creator grow in future but now I still stay with Dehancer, just my personal choise. And I think them both could be combined in one node tree to create an even more interesting look 🙌
Great video. I just wonder, why did you applied the style before Dehancer. Should not be that the last step? Thanks and please, more videos on Dehancer.
Thanks 😊 but what do You mean about the style? Let me know, so I could answer correctly 🤗
Thanks a lot for the awesome video, Vladislav! Do you by any chance plan on sharing / selling your "secret sauce" digital pro mist filter? I'd love to try it on my grades! Cheers!
Thank You for Your sincere comment ❤️ Yes I’m improving my Promist effect right now and yes it will be available soon on my new upcoming website. It has all controls for every scene and made just from native Davinci controls as a compound node. You’ll be always able to get in and change everything You need. Make it for Your taste 🤗 Will surely announce when its ready 👌
@@VladislavNovickij amazing, thank you so much! Looking forward to it! : )
You Only.
really great video. You convinced me to get dehancer. Quick question. Why did you put the grain after the CST out and not before it?
Thank You🙌 I add the grain as the last node of the node tree because I dont want other adjustments affecting the grain. If I am not using any adjustment nodes after CST out, then surely I could add it before CST out.
@@VladislavNovickij I see. And the quality is not lower becomes it comes after the transformation to rec709, instead of it being in DWG/I color space?
@@thecolorcrafter Quality is the same 👌
I cant understand why you added 2nd dehancher node for grain alone, is there any difference if that's done on the single node itself?
This is because I don’t want other adjustments affecting the grain. I want to keep my grain as clean as possible, so I add it as the last node 🤗
Where can we learn how to create that black mist power grade you mention ? Do you have a video on that? This was such a good video! Thanks Vlad!
Thanks 🙌 I’m still developing this effect and testing it. Hope it will be avalable on my new upcoming website as the power grade soon 👌
What are your thoughts on film convert? What made you choose one over the other?
Good question 🙌 I’ve had film convert even before dehancer. It was nice but after I got Dehancer its just changed everything for me. Alot adjustments, alot posibilities to create any look, everything in one place and really powerful results. Honestly switched to dehancer but still have film convert. I find it sometimes cool for my Mavic 3 Pro drone footage.
Can’t we do this with da Vinci resolve 19? There's been a lot of updates lately because Dehancer is so expensive
Thank for Your question 🙌 Not sure if its possible using native Resolve’s tools without super complex node tree. New Look Creator is still far away from what Dehancer does. Film emulation is much different with different results. In my opinion, every additional plugin that helps to get better and faster results is an amazing tools, for example like Blackmagic color grading panel, which costs aditional money but makes You faster, better and more precise. Same with our cameras, we are always updating them with some new tools, cages, screens, follow focuses and so on that helps us to get better results 🙌
just an idea for your nodetree, to make dehancer faster: have it already applied to the node and disabled all tools in your powergrade, so you don't have to do that each time you want to use dehanccer :)
Thanks ❤️ I have it done like You say already, just removed it for tutorial so everyone could understand that it was not prepared already, to show it from start to finish 🙌
@@VladislavNovickij thought so, but you never know. In the grand scheme of things you sometimes miss the little parts :)
@@TechMediaLifr Totally agree. Sometimes miss small but important moments. We are all humans 😂
Sveiki! Dar norėčiau paprastesnio, o gal kaip tik sudėtingesnio video. Jūs ten, rimti dėdės, gradinate RAW medžiagą iš kameros kur WB ir exposition nustatyti tinkami.
O mes, paprasti mirtingieji, turime tvarkytis su 8bit 4:2:0 arba iš telefono telefono kur viskas auto nustatyta. Kaip 8bit atveju spalvų korekciją daryt, kai net nėra balto objekto kadre, kad pagal jį ten temperatūras ir tintus žiūrėt?
Aciu uz komentara. Masciau padaryti 8 bit color grade video, na kiek ten ka galima stumti kol nesuluz spalvos. O siaip jeigu kadre nera balto, tai balansuojam pagal skin tona, jei ir zmogaus nera tai jau pojucio reikalas, svarbu juoda islaikyti juoda, zoles spalva gelsva ar zalia bei dangu. Yra istikro i ka remtis apart baltos 🤗
@@VladislavNovickij Kaip pvz., filmavau vaikus prie ežero pakrantės. Tai ten veidai žali, nes atsispindi žaluma tiek nuo žolės, tiek nuo vandens, kuris irgi žalsvas. Kai tempiu odos spalvas ant vectorscope ant skin line tai susigadina žolės ir vandens spalvos :D Žolė į rudumą eina. Taip, galima išskirti odos spalvos ruožą... bet 8bit :D
Tai ir sakau, kai pilnas youtube, kur mokina Davinci ant RAW and bent jau su 10bit dirbti, tai tos pamokos tiesiog neveikia paprastiems žmonėms, kurie net ne s-log'ais filmuoja o tiesiog flat profile :D
Hey ! very very intresting video ! quick question, where can we get this black mist filter ? :D thanks and have a good one !!
Thanks 🙏 This effect will be available soon on my nee coming website. Will surely announce that.
@@VladislavNovickij sweet thanks !!
I saw that you're grading with Dehancer after 709 in the previous video. Isn't it better to grade in DWG? Also, do you color correct every footage and make them look similar across and then grade every footage? Or do you correct and grade one by one?
Thanks for the question. It all depends on what result I need. If I want just a bit of Dehancers look I use it after 709 and usually lower its output / opacity to get just a little aditional character for my footage. But if I need that filmic look, with film emulations and so on, I use it before 709 in my DWG node tree.
What about the color corrections. If the shots are shot in one location as a sequence I usually color correct one main wider shot, grade it then copy and paste this grade to other sequence shots and make small adjustments to match them. Then make different color corrections for the shots done in different locations and scenes.
Thanks for answering this. Im coloring a music video shot outdoors with lots of changing light and greenery everywhere. Super fun lol. Wanted to use film convert or dehancer to show client some ideas.
@@craigkeyintel Thanks for watching, happy You found it helpful 🤗
I know this is a promo video, but it would be good to compare this to the new Resolve 19 tools that attempt to do a lot of the same stuff.
Thanks for Your comment. In my opinion Dehancer and Resolve’s Film Creator are different tools and its hard to compare them. Yes them both have same tools like Grain, Halation, Bloom, which for me gives better results in Dehancer, they work more analog film like there.
Resolve’s film creator is just for getting a little bit of creative look and its nice. But Dehancer is a film emulation tool, which recreates the exact film characteristics with so much controls available to push it even stronger. So I think this comparisson wouldn’t be fair by now.
Thank you for a wonderful review! If anyone has questions about Dehancer, please leave your comments below.
Thank You too for Your effort of creating such a great tool 🤗
Vladislav, could you at some point make a video regarding your color management and what settings you use to export both for the internet (CZcams, Vimeo, etc) and for broadcast / cinema? I see you grade with Gamma 2.4 - how do you make your videos display proper colors without gamma shift when uploading to CZcams, for example? Thank you kindly in advance!
Yes, I am not color managed. Use color space stransform in node tree because I like adding something after rec709 in certain clips. Gamma 2.4 because my monitor is set to the same gamma. Whyle I use mac I only choose Rec709A in my color management tag, so there are no Gamma shifts after the render. Yeah maybe should show that in my future videos 🙌
Of course, Resolve doesn't pay you commission ;).
Круто очень! А можно ли приобрести ваш mist эффект?
Скоро будет можно, пока тэстирую и подбираю регулировки, так как потом можно будет под разные клипы настраивать по своему желанию.
@@VladislavNovickij отлично, ждемс
Bro make videos on Aces and exposure
Can yo share that node tree you applying at the beginning
Yes sure, my new website should be finished soon. It will be available for free as the powergrade there.
I plan to get EIZO CG2700X as my grading monitor. What´s your experience wiht this monitor. BTW Dehancer is best...
I love my EIZO CG2700X, colors and self calibration function. I see all the mistakes on it that for example Apple’s monitor do not show at all and I can correct them properly 👌For me its surely worth its price.
where to get digital pro mist filter?
It will be available soon, still testing it in different scenarios. Will surely announce when its ready 🙌
how can we use your digital pro mist filter??
It will be available on my new gradelikepro.com website soon
bro ah , can u share blackmirt powergrade :P
Soon 🙌
How can I get your Digital Pro Mist Filter ?
It will be available on my new coming website soon. Will surely announce that 🙌
You use 18.6 with Dehancer. What about 19 with Film Look Creator which is built in?
I have Resolve 19 on my other computer. While I have active projects going on this one I do not risk to update Resolve yet. In this episode I use Dehancer and emulate real film stocks, which are not possible to emulate in Film Look Creator. Dehancer is different and more effective tool for me 🤗
@@VladislavNovickij makes sense
Dehancer Pro...$ 449? LOL. Filmconvert Nitrate is just fine for A LOT LESS MONEY
Thanks for Your reply ❤️ Its always up to Your choice, which one to use and what you are going for in Your look. Honestly I have Filmconvert and had it earler than Dehancer but after I started working with Dehancer with all its features I don’t use Filmconvert and other plugins anymore. Its just my choice and its worth the money for me, never pushing anybody to buy something 🙌 Just sharing my experience 🤗
