    If you want to adjust tracker, you don't need to set keyframes on first frame if you already successfully tracked part of shot...

    You don't have to, but in many cases you simply do re-track because it's faster or you don't care to look for the last good frame. Absolutely no wrong about doing that.

    You would use the resolve day sky in a commercial?

    I have done all kind of green screen work on commercials, and in this course there are at least seven different shots and a bunch of different approaches.  I get your point, I just think that "real world examples" was a bit loose as the shots are from commercials that has aired on TV.

    Tho a short real world example/tutorial would have been nice.

    What are you talking about, all the shots are real world examples. I recognize several of them from quite big commercials aired in my country. 

  4. This is by far the best color grading course I have ever seen and these techniques has already changed both the way I think about approaching images and how I work. I realized that the compression techniques does the magic that I have seen in high-end work, and it was a big eye opener to me how the colors find its place in the tonal range of the image by building nodes this way. I can't thank you guys enough for this course.

  5. I'm using paint techniques on almost every project I'm working on, because the directors are getting used to that tasks like that can be solved inside of DaVinci Resolve. It's so many new techniques in this course that are very useful to me. To be honest I have never used the tracker in the color tab the way that is demonstrated here and the planar tracker is insane.

    There are a lot of YouTube tutorials out there how does this compare to them?

    Lee Lanier has written many of the best selling visual effects books you can find on Amazon, and he is a teacher at the Gnomon VFX school in Hollywood. The quality of the courses on this site is hard to beat, and the instructors are professional presenters.

    Thx for your reply, Thomas. But for example if I want to get a really clean key on greenscreen shots I have to go to a linear image for keying, right? If so is there any chance (like the CST function on the colorpage or similiar) to get back to LOG after keying?

    You don't need to, but if you want to key on a normalized image you can apply a technical LUT to the log image inside of Fusion and disable it when the work is done. That's a pretty common workflow.

    If you want to do it your way, you can apply a input LUT on clip level inside of the edit tab, do your VFX in Fusion and disable the LUT when the work is done and you are ready to color it.

    Thx for this series. Always good to know for some small jobs. I'm just curious how's the workflow when I want to do keying/compositing then matching BG and FG but afterwards getting a LOG image out of Fusion to do the final grade in the colorpage?

    You simply work with the log image all the way instead of a linear image.
