I have watched a couple of the seminars with Dado and I just want to state my opinion on them. They are pure sale hallelujah meetings for a plug in this guy has made and I feel a bit angry that I have scheduled time to look at this nonsense. People in the chat asks questions about how to do this and that and you never get a qualified answer, it's more in the line of 'its not possible to get a great result with the built in color management system in Resolve, you need to get my plug-in'. Dado, if you see this: A big shame on you!

I would be very interested in seeing an introduction series made by @Kevin P McAuliffe on Mistika Boutique. Any chance that could happen? I really enjoyed the Scratch series he created which was a totally new grading and finshing package for me.
Second that. Good to see training by someone who knows the in-and-outs of the other color tools.

I watched the color management course and DaVinci process the RAW files input color space automatically. Does it work that way in Scratch too?
-
Personally I don't use most of the controls in the panels and bought a Wacom pen instead after owning several of them. I'm more into entering numbers and precision than turning the wheels wildly in all directions. That said, I buy the speed argument.

You can use a color space transform at the end to go to P3 but you need to watch the transform on a P3 projector/monitor and do some adjustments if necessary.

Many people ask if BlackMagic Design will continue to develop and support the standalone version of Fusion. Now they confirm that that they still will keep it alive.
It will be interesting to see if they can lift Fusion to the next level and really start to compete with Nuke.
-
It will definitely eat from the Premiere market.

That's a completely different discussion and a complicated topic, but if you don't have an established P3 color workflow with proper P3 monitoring you don't need to think about these things at all.

No it is not, don't make your life harder than it is.

Then you deliver ProRes 4444
-
Ask the festival for their specifications. Normally you can deliver DNxHR/ProRes as their setup isn't neccessarily professionalized enough to receive DCP's and treat the signal the way it should. Most cinemas today even create a hybrid 5.1 from stereo tracks. The digital age is evolving, not neccessarily for the best.

I do understand the marketing hype around having different modules such as Fairlight and Fusion but I think the tabs should be named VFX and Audio because it would give the feeling of it actually being a part of the same software. I have started to learn Fusion and it's already well integrated but I understand that new users can get frightened to step into the new world.

Color space transform on the second camera to get it into the main color space.

I need to match some RED footage that is shot on Dragoncolor2/Redgamma4 with Alexa footage shot with the standard log2rec709 LUT. I transformed the RED footage to REDlog Film and Dragoncolor2 in the project settings to transform it to log. Is that a correct way to set it up before adding the color tranform node? If so, what are the correct settings?
Or should I not change the project settings (not transform the RED footage to log) and do the entire transformation in the transform node? -
A reel like this can say something about if you are into music videos, local spots or do Hollywood blockbusters etc.
From your reel I can tell that you do local work because of the texts. Indie projects and probably some shorts and narratives because there aren't many money shots in there. Definitely not into high-end features and commercials.
If that is what you want to say with your reel, keep pushing it. If you want to get into more higher end, this might not be the best way. It's all about what you want to communicate.
-
Many clean and good looking shots there. Personally, I prefer a well presented selection of videos as that tells me more about about your color grading skills than a bunch of single shots put together.

So an OFX node taking us from Alexa log to rec709 would draw the same curve as the standard log2rec709 Alexa lut, just with cleaner math?
-
Can someone explain to me the concept of using transform functions instead of LUTS, what is the difference?
-
Have you tried it, is it fast?
-
Looks like Lowepost is pushing Fusion tutorials hard now, thank you!

Any reason you can't use a lum vs sat curve for this? Lowering the overall density will get you access to more filmic red but you will need to twist it with a simple hue adjustment to create the specific red you would want.
-
Use the tint control to bring it back to balance The tint control operates on the green/magenta axis.
-
I recommend that you read this article from Parker Jarvie from Company 3. You can study the craft, learn to color and develop your taste on any system, and technicalities such as HDR deliveries etc should not be a focus at the level you are right now.
