  • Split toning is a foundational build block of look development in filmmaking. In this video we chat about best practices when using these tools at a professional level including an analysis of common film characteristics along with a technical understanding of how middle grey plays into how we build the look. This technique works in just about any software that has a "curves" tool like Davinci Resolve 19 (and previous versions) along with most popular editing software.

    Learned so much from your substractive color series too. It's always great to see you go beyond just showing steps on editing software and explaining how the real thing physically happens on film.

    Great channel, very well done! Your camera and DavinciWG Intermediate specific 18% gray charts are great. Did you create these? If not can you share where you got them from? If you did create them, would love to see a video how you made them. Keep up the great work!

    Hi Barrett, great video. I've seen a lot of colourists use CSTs in the node view to control when the transformation into the output colour space happens, but DaVinci seem to encourage the use of colour management to convert to the output colour space before the node tree. Do you use CSTs in nodes out of habit or is there some tangible benefit to this? Thanks!

    • @BarrettKaufman
      @BarrettKaufman  Před 3 dny

      Hey! Biggest benefit is control. Nothing wrong with using Project Level color management, but node based allows more options

  • @TrapPhoneLoveMelodiesss

    Turning down the key output gain before you start split toning is brilliant. These adjustments are way too strong without that key step. Thank for sharing!
    Where can one find the test mid grey chart you used here?

    • @BarrettKaufman
      @BarrettKaufman  Před 28 dny +1

      Hey! The test chat is at the resource link in the description. It will be under the "Split Tone Downloads" toggle
      It should be one of the very first things on the page

    You can also enable splines if you’re having a hard time making smooth curve edits.

    Awsome video how do we make a ArriLogc or canon one is it same method or would we need to find it

    • @BarrettKaufman
      @BarrettKaufman  Před měsícem

      Camera manufacturers publish white papers on their log flavors and the mid grey point is mentioned in each one
      You can use that to verify where the mid grey patch would be for Arri and Canon

    • @BarrettKaufman
      @BarrettKaufman  Před měsícem +1

      Yeah, this is one of those tools that looks really bad when executed poorly
      The VSCO photo app has a "split tone" tool that is an example of bad implementation IMO

    Seeing that you’re using FilmUnlimited - where would you put this operation in that node tree?

    • @BarrettKaufman
      @BarrettKaufman  Před 14 dny

      I purchased FilmUnlimited a while back but am not using on this project. However in general, global look adjustments should go towards the end of any color processing
