This was the best tutorial ever! Not one word about buying luts was mentioned
đ Thanks brother.
LUTs are lame and generally useless to anyone that knows grading.
None mentioned but it made us wanna buy from him!! :DDDDDDDD
Exactly and anyone who strives to be a colorist does NOT need LUTâs
"AnD ThEn I ApPliEd tHiS LuT" this sentence doesn't belong in a "tutorial" !!! thank you for uploading a REAL tutorial, super helpful, this is genuine talent !!
đ€Łain't that the truth. Thank you so much. Appreciate the love, Emma.
Why does a lut not belong in a tutorial video????
@@kyrahirsch4367 because a tutorial is all about giving you the knowledge to get from Point A to Point B. Because a LUT effectively skips a whole bunch of steps, unless the tutorial provides a link to the LUT or is "how to apply a LUT," then it really fails to be a tutorial.
Same goes for Plug-ins, in my book. If someone has a plug-in in their video, they had better explicitly state so in their title.
@Waqas Qazi another excellent tutorial.
This has to be one of the best color grading tutorials Iâve watched to date, the balancing tip was pretty huge for me! Thanks brother
Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
SĂșper Agree!!
Carlos De la Portilla thank you.
I rarely put comment under videos, usually i just click the like/subscribe button, but in this case I had to make the exception: this is one of the best, if not the best grading tutorial I ever watched (only Chuck watched entire youtube twice so only he would know if this is the best - and probably he could do it better :) )
This was... absolutely incredible. You've managed to teach more in 30 minutes than most courses taught in two weeks! Thank you :)
WOW! Fav comment of the day. Thank you so much. Means a lot.
I'm only a lowly GoPro hobbyist but love seeing how all the features of Davinci can be used by the Pros. loved this video. thanks so much for sharing
đ it's all good. Appreciate the love.
First video to hit 100k!!! All because of you beautiful people. Much love.
All because you executed this tutorial beautifully. Even with no particular interest in getting the Joker look, there was so much information that can be applied to any grade. Thanks.
Waqas Qazi you are awesome!! Thanks, could you analyze Terminator 2 look?
Ron Spencer thank you so much for three encouragement, Ron.
Kike Colombo Terminator 2 is so epic. I would love too.
FYI Denver Riddle is now copying your content. Love your work, keep it up! czcams.com/video/q4FJm7E4TK4/video.html
As an amateur colorist looking to up my game and potentially make a living from it, I have learned so much from you. You run circles around my skills but I appreciate the knowledge bombs you are dropping. And the no LUT aspect is amazing.
Your comments are always the best my brother. Appreciate the love, seriously.
Wow! I am so mind blown right now! I canÂŽt even imagine, how much experience you must have to make it look so simple.
đ thank you so much. Your support means a lot.
This tutorial is not only excellent for grading but also teaches the importance of good lighting!
Waqas is the man with the plan...teaching you step by step...hes a pro...and teaching us all pro technical workflow. Dude set up a patrion account...ill be the 1st to donate...this is GOLD đ
Thank you so much brother. Not in for donations. Just by my masterclass next time it's available. đ
This is a fantastic color grading tutorial. How you arrange and work through your nodes makes a lot of sense. Of course, watching this more than once or twice, will help the technique sink in a little deeper. I can see using this approach on any film project that comes along.
Thank you. Couldn't agree more.
Best tutorial I've seen, and I've seen a lot... you should've called it "The No B.S. Tutorials".
I also use the same shortcut for naming nodes; I did it after watching one of Daria's tutorials.
đThank you, Serge.
How to do change that keyboard shortcut? I could not find it under keyboard settings in Davinci.
@ keyboard customization: under commands you choose color, look for (label selected node)...
@@sergedagher Thanks, mate! You are the pro. I found it finally. Could not figure out how it is called.
I've been following your colour grading tutorial and I must say it has imparted me greatly.
I have moved from not knowing anything about colour grading to colour grading my first film.
I will put in more work and go out there to getting a real job as a freelance colourist.
Thank you so much Qaz
Nothing makes me happier. You're welcome brother.
it took me 3 years to found you when everyone else was busy selling thier luts, you earned a Sub from Pakistan Bro.
you Answered a lot of questions which i had.
đ that's epic. Glad you did. Appreciate the sub.
this is insane ma man
Thank you so much brother đȘđœ
I am lost half way through.... this chap is so advanced! Thank you from the future me (one day I will understand all this. One day...)
Haha. This is great. You're welcome from the future
I wasn't confident enough to make the switch to Resolve until i found your videos. Thank you! Definitely smashing that bell too...lol
haha. Thank you brother. Appreciate the love.
Subscribed just from the intro sequence. Thatâs a powerful thing man.
Thank you so much brother. Sorry for the late reply.
HOW ARE YOU HERE!!! đł
I love ur videos bro
Hawks is here, nice
Incredible work.
Thank you so much âđœ
You're really good. The part I love is your understanding of it all. Your eye and instinct for details is just outstanding. Great job. Certainly helpful
Thank you so much đ
In one tutorial "almost" all your professionalism - you are a great one. If only I get closer ... Thank you thank you grazieeeeeeee from italy
Thank you Mario. Appreciate the love, brother.
This video is so cool! Incredible source of inspiration! All my life I thought that this thing is like a treasure that hidden in dungeons of Hollywood and now it's on a surface! Thank you so much! One day I will run your full course for sure!
beautiful comment. Appreciate the love. Let's go!
i started color grading with this tutorial 1 and half years ago i still watch this tutorial...awesomeâ€ïž
that vignetting process is real
Thank you
Man this is the video I have been looking for. No selling me luts and a clear top to bottom tut. Great work I'd love to see more.
one of the most knowledgeable people on youtube thank you
ty
I never give likes, rarely posts...
But I feel compelled to do so as *the value you bring is just another level*
A bit fast for a newb like me but damn. Simply put, Thank you.
You're welcome
Absolute great tutorial! I would love to see a tutorial where you can maybe specialize on the hue vs hue, hue vs saturation curves etc. They are still a bit of a myth to me :)
Thank you. For sure, I will be doing more tips and tricks videos focusing on specific tools in resolve.
Finally a full length tutorial without becoming a lut bi###
That's our qazman
Thanks brother
đđđ you know how I do. Love you back.
All 12 nodes DO make a difference in the final product, Can't wait for Part 2 - - Great job!!
let's go!
Nice tutorials but please give us source footage and source reference image from joker link will workout further ....
Create multiple nodes at the begining and named each of them For different adjustment!!! Thats so much helpful!! Thanks for this awesome tutorial!! Next one month i am only gonna practice Color Grading
That is great. Jump on it. Nothing more gratifying.
Nice one Waqas, really enjoyed this tut. As you say, a lot of the look of joker was done on set. Blueish background lights etc. One of the big mistakes beginner filmmakers make is trying to create a totally different colour grade to what was filmed. God knows, I made that mistake enough myself.
Thank you brother. This is the single Most obvious yet most misunderstood part of color grading. Glad you appreciate it.
Love you Waqas Qazi. you are the only pro i saw doing grading tutorial on youtube which is closer to real life scenario. Thanks a lot. please keep doing this.
Thank you brother. I ain't stopping.
Very comprehensive tutorial that deserves a lot of respect and really teaches people to rescue a botched shot.
Because what one needs to realize is that the joker look is not "faked" like this here, it has been filmed.
So the most important thing you need to learn to do as a color graded is to be part of pre-production and tie yourself to a DOP to get the right look from the get-go.
The shot used here lacks the depth, the multi shade light , the clarity and the other masterwork a good DOP provides to make the colorists life easier.
But yeah, the techniques used to come close are very well explained...well done :)
Color Grading Cinematic Look, at its best! especially considering that the look was not created on set as in the joker!
Thank you so much. Definitely makes it challenging and I think it's important to address these things with the client to get the expectations straight.
This clip is well lit..if you do this in a normal clip result will be so weird
TravelMap then I would approach it differently.
@@theqazman you will do it man.. I was talking to myself.. great tutorials.. keep going
@@theqazman can't you make some grading videos with poorly lit videos.. like vlogging kind of videos where we use natural light only
I'm a little late to the party here, wanted to have a block of time to watch this uninterrupted. Fantastic tutorial. I really learned a lot, I've been using far fewer nodes (like 3). I love how you built the look piece by piece. It was easy to follow.
Thank you. Absolutely, nothing wrong with using fewer nodes it's just all depends. On this film they said that most of the work was done in camera and in post all they did was making micro adjustments to balance everything out.
You're an amazing teacher. I like how you get to the point, and walk through step by step. Perfect!
Thank you, brother
As you captured film for the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood tute or selected footage for this tute, 1) were you selecting footage that was shot neutral 2) if not, what color profiles were you using? I will be shooting on a Sony Venice and Sony z90 for my films. I don't plan on dialing LUTs in camera in most scenes. I want maximum grading flexibility. All shot over 100mbps.
This guy is a talent in color grading and teaching people. Dude youâre awesome!!!
Thank you so much
I'm not a colorist, but it's great to see how the work is done. Great tutorial.
thank you
Took note of your node organization, really impressed by the workflow design (and the grade of course)
thank you
Nice work. The highlight on Joker was so teal... could you have pulled some key off the skin to try to get her highlight skin to look more like it had a teal light on it? I loved the tutorial. Great work
YES! Thank you so much for this. This is by far the best color grading tutorial IÂŽve seen! because it goes beyond the color theory aspect and it tackles the project managing aspects and all the technical details, as well as teaching you how to even educate your clients on what can and canÂŽt be done. Absolute gold. Earned yourself a new subscriber! Cheers!
Thank you so much, brother. That's just my teaching style. You can learn about all the technical stuff by reading a user guide. I want to make you profitable and give you practical knowledge. Your comment is gold. đ
Great Lesson! I was so focused that when the music starts in the end my heart jumped! lol Thanks again, Qazi!
đ that's hilarious. That's so awesome brother.
I'm just getting introduced to Davinci 16 and your videos are really helpful. I hope that your success reaches levels that you haven't dreamed yet. Blessings.
you got it
This is some legendary tutorial. Wasn't looking for the Joker look, but this taught me sooo much!
Thank you!
Aye! đȘđœ
The time you spend, the precision and the simplicity of is always appreciated. Kudos!!
Much love
the amount of ballparks mentioned. jokes aside, the best tutorial on grading ever. subd
haha. đ I thank you
I am loving your simple workflow Qazi.
Thank you, brother.
@@theqazman A heartiest welcome from Bangladeshâ„ïž!
Wah Qazi, you made my project. Shukeya, Merci, Thank you!
Truly helpful!
Thank you
Aah, my boy. It is nice to know, when some of the youtubers you follow, can be found across comments varying across genres!
My Layer nodes arent doing anything as soon as do a key. I did an adjustment on BG Layer making it blue and I tried to isolate the skin tones but now the Blue wont do anything... Wth
You have to disable the bottom node in the layer panel..
One of the clearest explanations I've heard. Great teaching
Thank you so much. Appreciate the love.
In the end, I just noticed that you applied that colorgrading and light set up of the joker for this video you made...đđđ
But thats only my opinion..đđđ...Thanks for this video...
I dont have these equiptment that you used and Im not using Davinci at the moment...but you brought also a new knowledge in me..đ...
Normaly I dont watch 30 mins tutorials,but in this video,I didnt noticed that I finished this tutorial..đđ
this is the best and most helpful tutorial I've ever seen
Let's go!!!
Man, this was a good recommendation from CZcams. Thanks for the tutorial, it was detailed and well explained!
Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
Very well done. I really like the fact that you donât rush it and sometimes even stop talking while adjusting something. One thing though: around 29â00â you bring up the sat-sat tool in order to adjust saturation in the highlights. Wasnât that supposed to be the lum-sat tool?
Thank you. I wanted to used sat vs sat but said lum vs sat
welp time to subscribe
đ Let's go, brother đȘđœ
I'm mosttly using blender compositor for grading, but decided to learn the davinci and i guess this will be a great help to me in my project.
the tutorial is awesome.
funny thing! after watching a lot of your tutorials i start to grade dng stills from my fuji in resolve. for me its better than lightroom and capture one to get MY look done! thank you for all the inspiration â€ïž
đđȘđœ let's go
This video really helped me to improve my skills in Davinci Resolve. Thanks Waqas
You're welcome brother
Hey Waqas, so I prophesied earlier this year that you would have 40k subscribers on this channel by the end of the year. Oh well, I came up a bit short. Might have to extend that by another couple of months, seeing you again a few thousand everytime you drop a video tutorial ;)
Your prediction would've been accurate if I didn't drop the ball. I got too busy and stopped making videos. I am gonna try to be more consistent. Always appreciate your support brother.
@@theqazman haha, I see you giving all your love to IG, brother. YT is a whole different world. Different people, different demographic, different habits. Ya feel?
I gotchu. YT is more of a long form base and I just need more bandwidth to create content for it as of now but I'm gonna try harder. đ€đœ
You and Juan Melara have the best tutorials on youtube for resolve
Thank you so much. Appreciate the love.
You've inspired me to continue educating myself on coloring. You do a fantastic job. Will check out your lessons!!
Greatest compliment. Thank you brother. Keep pushing.
I learned a lot from this tutorial. The pace was great, and the explanations were exceptional. Waqas is definitely on my 'watch' list now! Good job brother!
Absolutely, love the comment. Thank you so much for your observation.
You did an incredible job here.
Thank you
Hi super video. Tell me pls, how do you keep your Layer node in Keyframes as node nr 4? Because I can't affect anything in the Background and Skin node.
You know this is funny... when I watch your videos... I feel like I am going to be the most paid colorist in Hollywood after learning tings from you. Oh by the way, I am just an IT guy and I watch your content for entertainment :) ....
đ this is so epic. Love it brother.
Hey, Qazy! Congrats for another amazing tutorial, realy helped me with a job!
I would like to sugest you make a tutorial explaning more about how to get perfect selection of skin tones! Searching in the web we can only find "play with qualifier and mask", but I believe that u can teach us more!
Thank u so much and keep going with the amazing work!!
Thank you brother. I am thinking about doing a separate series where I focus on specific things as you suggested. Stay tuned, brother.
@@theqazman thanks bro!
Serious skills. Thanks for putting it up WQ.
you know it
Man I wanted to learn editing colours for my music video clips. Everything is explained so well. I gotta be honest it is so scary how much you can change the clip. Thank you so much for posting it!
Thank you and couldnât agree more thatâs what makes it so much fun.
Amazing tutorial. It will be very helpful if explained all the tools and tips
Awesome tutorial. My new favorite color grading channel!
Thank you
Thanks bro. Best as far i know.
Thank you
wow, that's a great one! I was looking for a tutorial about skin processing (I'm learning grading on DaVinci by myself), and it's probably one of the best ones so far. Thanks for this great job, I'm gonna watch it again and again while working on some clips on my main screen. Cheers from France and big up!
Thank you. Best way to learn. Hey from LA. đ
This is gold! Thank you Qazi!!
You're welcome. Appreciate the love, brother.
Thank you Qazi! Thank you very much!
NIce workflow - my sharpen node has usually been in the beginning but makes more sense to put near the end of the node train.
đȘđœ
This was amazing! Thank you! The vignette was the only part I couldn't get right, I think there were a few steps in the node design there that weren't mentioned. Or I'm just stupid....
Thanks! Very Interesting workflow from you! May be next Irishman and like in new James Bond trailer?
You're welcome. I got my eyes on the new James Bond trailer. I am on it.
Awesome... As a DP, learning more about the science of color timing is essential to my job... I am working on a project and wanting a Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy look. Possibly a tutorial on that?
I couldnât agree more. Thatâs a good luck Iâm gonna check it out.
Definitely, specially with the first minutes analyzing the light. Most teal-orange grading work terribly without the proper lighting and set elements.
Very nice. A lot to take in, but I managed to understand a lot.
Thanks for the great tut
of course. youâre welcome
Please, I want this shot to practice withâ„ïž
As for someone who want start color is Wedding Highlights - i will keep watching this amazing Tut
Thank you
Let's go!
You are amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. đđđœ
That was just absolutely fantastic! Its the first color grading turorial for me, that is build up so well! And the result looks the same. Tank you very much for that! Subscribed đđ
Thank you, Chris. I appreciate your sub đ
Fantastic tutorial Waqas, thanks so much for posting this!
Of course brother
Dear Waqas your tutorials are amazing and i believe that you are one of the best colourists out there.I would like to ask is there any automated way to apply all changes that you made for grade and correction to a scene in the rest of the scenes and gain much time? For example,i create a specific colour for skin tone,is there any way to apply this skin colour automatically to all other scenes contain faces with skins? Please make a tutorial on how to apply grading/correction to many shots and gain time on editing fast
How is this tutorial free? Much appreciate what you do!!
đ Maybe it's your lucky day
Great tutorial! I ran into a problem with the layer nodes though. When I add the key for the skin tones and then go to the BG node, either nothing changes when I change the gamma or everything changes and it just completely bypasses my skin tone selection. Any help? Did I not make the layer nodes correctly?
Thanks in advance.
I have the same issue!
Rasmus Frostell I think I got it to work. So after you do the first two nodes and then create the third. You create the layer nodes. Then you have to turn off all the layer nodes except the first one. Do the look on there and then turn on the second layer node. Itâll revert your image back to normal but donât worry. You then select the skin tones or whatever you want to stay neutral on the second layer node and thatâll fix the problem. Basically the newer layer node will overwrite the older layer node. So you select whatever you want to âcut outâ of the look on the newer layer nodes. Does that make sense?
Mind Blown!!!
đ
Bro this guy's got an INSANE setup
đȘđœ
Just an extra hint you could give is ,why you turn off splitscreen when picking the key. I think some people get confused when using the picker on a split screen.
Cuz it doesn't show you the selection with the split screen.
@@theqazman... and you can't select the right area
Wow, thank you for showing us that. You're an awesome color grader.
Thank you so much Matt. You are an awesome human being.
Wow, you are The Man! Best tut I've see on the science of color grading.
let's go!
I would like to see you working with de Ozark color grading. It'll be amazing to see that.
Great suggestion!
Would love to see you get the Payback look.
Really informative and you deliver it in a way that makes it easy to understand, even for someone who has never done color grading (ME)
Thank you
Awesome tutorial- easy to follow and very well spoken throughout! 10/10
Thank you so much Luke appreciate the love brother
