Additional Notes:
So one thing I forgot to put in the video is if you're having issues getting uniformity in the color application like I was having but didn't address in the third shot, you can fix that by just dropping the gain a bit on the key then make your adjustment and it should look a little more natural.
I also address in the first clip that you can generate an outside node an make adjustments to the ground and I absolutely recommend this especially if you're making large changes to the sky you'll be able to more easily match the ground and introduce some of the color you added into the sky.
I wanted the main focus of the video to be techniques and methods for getting a fairly clean key of the sky, and If you want a more in depth color changing lesson I have that here: • Change Any Color - DaV...

Hey everyone, be sure to check the description for more details and references and let me know anything else you want me to cover in the future.
Can pls read and link me to a video already made
Hey man I really appreciate this tutorial it's just the right balance of conciseness and detailed information. You're very good at explaining things while doing them and for me I just had to follow along. Here's some things I was hoping you could cover in the future because I really struggle with them:
Landscape greenery- There's so many different shades of grass and moss in the mountains that I struggle to isolate them all and not have any glitches or wavering color.
Fog- I recently was filming on a foggy lake and it was super difficult for me to slightly blue up the sky without also catching the fog, this could be a super easy fix I just don't know enough.
Thanks so much man I really enjoy the content!
Thank you. As far as your questions go, I totally get that. When it comes to the greenery I'd say try and really finess your matte, and if that's not good enough you can get into using power windows tracked in the shot. This can be a fairly deep rabbit hole however and time is money so you may have to make the call to make what you have work.
For the fog issue, if your sky has some color (and your fog does not) you could try using your hue vs curves to impact the sky. However that can be a tough spot if changing the sky color is crucial.
Thank you, this is very helpful.
Thanks dude this helped me loads!!!
thanks man, this was really helpful
Great tutorial but you left me hanging! I need to be able to make adjustments to areas of the video where my camera is moving. (i.e. camera moving down) The area that I'm adjusting is always changing with each key frame...I'm heading to your videos to see if you covered that...fingers crossed!
Excellent. Thanks!
Thank you! Great tutorial.
Thank you. Glad it helped
Man I absolutely love your videos you've made this whole editing stuff so much easier. Black magic should hire you
Thanks man. That would be the dream job. Some day maybe.
@@NathanCarterVids keep an eye on their website and such, you basically have the perfect thing in these videos to add to your resume if they ever have a marketing job opening up or something like that
@@Scalpp thanks. Will do!
That was helpful thanks Nathan 👍🏻
Liked and Subscribed😀
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks a lot for this great video 🙏
No problem. Glad you found it helpful.
I am new to the color section and tried to follow you but you are very fast and I have no idea what the things you were clicking on are called or what they do. Is there an even simpler starter video to DV color?
Excellent 👍
Super helpfull!
You’d make great kermit the frog voice overs . Your amazing great vid
I get that a lot haha.
terima kasih (thank u) greeting from indonesia
One thing that often gives a more realistic view - mask the sky as you have done here but instead of changing the colors, just adjust the temperature. For blown out white skies dropping the temp by about -850ish often gives a nice pale blue sky that looks a lot more realistic.
I don't have that wand thing you clicked to be able to see the selection at 4:09
I' using the free version, but it seems like it'd be a simple enough thing for the free version to have! Has it moved since you posted this video?
thanks braski!!
No worries. Glad it helped
Great video as always Nathan! I'd love to see a run down of your favourite / most useful OFX - as colour compressor is used a bit I see and I'm curious what are your other go to's? Thanks man.
Great question. Compressor, contrast pop and lens reflections are probably my go to's. I also really like glow to add to a dreamy or vintage feel to something.
@@NathanCarterVids ah cool, thanks for some more secret sauce!
Good Job Nathan...can you give an advice about LUT....do it on the first or last node or something else...
Great question. I'd say LUT after correction. That's a good idea for a video though. Thanks
Nice
Hi Nathan, love the content, new Subscriber! I do lots of drone footage. The one thing I have trouble with is reducing the 'blue haze' often below horizons, especially as I live near the ocean, although it's more difficult when traveling to islands as it's more humid. Got any tips?
That can be a tough one. Possibly introducing the opposite color into the log controls using your high and low range to isolate your impact to the offending area could help
@@NathanCarterVids Thanks Nathan, much appreciate it!!!
what if the sky is moving around in the frame? how to track the sky?
Hello man you really good ! I need help I graded my footage but the background color is the same as my skin color I did a layer mask node for the skin tone but the background color still appear
If they're the same color and luminance, you're gonna have a tough time separating them. I'd recommend leaning into look that wont require separation, however if you must then it's sounding like roto work would get the job done. Time consuming stuff though.
@@NathanCarterVids roto is gonna take all of ma time 😱😱😂
Anyway thanks 🙏🏽
@@Smartxl813 Good luck man!
How can i contact you? I need help with a clip
What's up? Let's see if we can get it figured out.
this isn;t working for me because I have trees and a sky with shallow depth of field and blurry so it just makes my sky look blue but my tree leaves have a white outline....
Super blurry can be problematic for keying for sure, everything just kinda blends together. Is it helped at all by fiddling with the finesse controls? Usually that helps me figure it out, but sometimes it's not gonna work great, especially if you're looking up a tree with the sky behind it and shallow dof. It's gonna be rough so you may be better served by using your Vs curves to help you get closer to the desired result.
@@NathanCarterVids Im so new to Davinci, i have been fiddling more and I got a nice color sky, but its strange but doing keying blurry leaves with sky behind it creates blue around the blurry leaves always darker the blue sky...I'm sure its something simple I'm missing.,,
👍👍
Nice , and hard .... I will try this:)
(Btw you know why when I render one video with youtube 1080p rendering I lose quality and of course when i upload the video I lose (again) quality)
Well the quality loss can certainly depend on render settings. If you go into custom and try setting your bit rate higher does that help? Also with regards to YT quality that's CZcams compression for yah. The compression isn't as bad on Vimeo if you wanna try that.
@@NathanCarterVids ok thanks man:)
The other option is to render it at 4K (even if the source footage is only 1080p) as youtube will allot a higher bitrate to 4K videos then it does to 1080p videos, so in theory there will be less compression from youtube.
Is that an NTK, Nathan? :)
Yes. Good eye!
@@NathanCarterVids Been using one myself for the last 15 years. :)
Yeah it was one of my first big audio purchases almost ten years ago. I don't do much music any more so I figured I'd start using it on the channel.
I don't understand at all :(
Nice
