I use versioning mostly to brake the remote grade link in this way i can set slightly different grade for continuity on long take. I'm afraid that keep adding stills i could easly get confused After a while, above all if the changes are microscopic. Maybe i should start using versions as you said and changing my workflow into local grades rather then remote.

Hi all! I wanted to ask how do you handle versioning so you can go back to a previous grade when needed. I work in resolve so my workflow is based on what it provide, but i would be happy to hear also a software agnostic approach Usually if i do a grade and I have a revision to do, I save stills for all frames of the timeline in a stills folder with the date My problem comes with micro versioning: a real world scenario, I have done a job with the dop sitting next to me, we get to a point where is happy and asked me to export it out and upload it on vimeo so he could check it on his device (lets not talk about this problem ) then he said, ok, all good but i want to de sat a tiny bit everything (done, export, upload on vimeo) Then he said, alright, you know what maybe this few shots you can cool them down a little bit (done, export, upload on vimeo) He goes, sleep on it, then watch all 3 links and come back saying that he likes it better version01 and some clips of version02 Unfortunatelly since were such small and quick turnaround I didn't save stills everytime and i didn't add more nodes as i didn't want to over complicate the node tree. So when he got back i had to manually go back to what i have done in V01. I wanted to know if you have a better and easier workflow. cheers, Orash

Yeah, that would have been my next question. Nits.

Hi all! I got myself anche LG c7 TV and while going through the menu i've noticed that by default It's set to have a 2.2 gamma. The other options are 1.9, 2.4 and bt1886. The made me wonder and i checked some Friends TV (don't remember the model nor the maker) and either didn't have any option or was defaulting to 2.2. So i ask, is It stll revelant to calibrate to 2.4 our reference display? If tvs are setting they'r display to 2.2 and most of the people aren't going to change It, would not be better to calibrate to 2.2? What you think? Cheers, Orash

Under curves/soft clip Rise the low slider

You could try lattice It has a function that given a lut you can extrapolate either the contrast or the color.

Is It really that expensive? I mean i thought that was the reason but at the same time i didnt think It could make such a difference. Plus, i can understand between a cg series and a reference grade1 display, but here there are almost 10k if bit more) difference with the Sony monitor. Anyway, i like eizo product but on that price range im not sure i would go for an eizo, i think i would try to Save a lot more and go for a Sony or fsi display. I can't afford neither of three anyway

I still wonder why no SDI

The main difference i would say is that the lut clip at 0 and 1, so Nothing below and above that Will bè recoverable After the lut. The color space transform is lossless.

Could you elaborate more? How do you create luts and what's your thought process?

What you mean exactely by "film constrain"? Is It another way to say film emulation or is It something different?

Graded by @Tom Poole I'm sure he heard It many times before but It looks freaking good

I still don't know what I wish I knew I have never had a mentor, I had to lear all i know by myself and I am sure I'm doing many things wrong, only i don't know what

It's not different, the problem with y curves or lgg is that perceived saturation is less when y gets brighter then RGB ad the reletionship between the three chanell behaves like that, contrary when y decrese saturation appear stronger. The thing is that y is a derivation of the reletionship of RGB , It doesn't really exist by itself so RGB Will always bè effected in someway. To get what you are looking for you need a different math. Using a lab colourspace you can control the luminance only chanell Another way is to get a layer node and set the composit mode to luminance. Then on the second input change lgg to taste

Not sure about adding It as an external matte, i never do it. i Guess the down side is that you have to add It clip by clip. If added as an overlay lavel you Just Need to make sure that the grain doesn't lift and change the contrast of your grade. Usually so called scanned grain do that. I have made a grain clip in nuke and exported raw to avoid that. (When i don't use davinci grain that is more then enough most of the time)

That's right, i've originally bought It to do livegrading, now i'm thinking to use it to convert the signal and If possible load a calibration lut

Hi all! A year or more ago i bought an hdlink pro and soon After that i have updated my MacBook os only to find out that BM didn't support the new osx Since there had been sitting on a shelf. Now i wonder, is there a use to It in some way or Can i use it Just as a paperwaight? I have a laptop with an old os that should be compatibile, is It possibile to upload luts and keep It disconected from the laptop itself?

If i understood what you'r asking, then lum vs sat curve is what you'r After

in DR you have to set the raw debayer to RedWideGammut as color science and LogG10 as gamma curve, then use one of the red lut downloadable from here: https://www.red.com/downloads/58de98eff77f300ebe00053f

Between the two i prefere Alexa, i like better the color rendition and the general feeling, plus is much more forgiving (to my eyes) to the mistakes made in set. Said that since i'm working with the new ipp2 red pipeline i have to say things are much better

Now that i think about it. Since the intruduction of the 3d tracker i feel the need of a skew control on the shapes. It's hard to keyframe and fix under the perspective distortion sometimes

yes, it happen when the clip had been set to play backwards as in "reverse speed effect" I hate it as it's really confusing When it really becomes a pain I sometimes duplicate the clip in the timeline, remove the speed effect and using the remote clip grading I correct the keyframe to my taste

I wanted to check out this LUT, i know it's for baselight and I assume that .cub is the baselight 3d lut extension. I have tried with lattice to see if was possibile to open it and export it to a .cube file but I had no luck. Does anyone know if and how it's possible to convert it to use it in davinci? cheers, Orash

A qualifier that actually works!

Similar to the aproach described by @Frank Wylie i sharpen the luma Channel in a lab space node where i disable chanell 2 and 3
