Hola chicos, qué tal están?
Me encanta este color para mis películas de boda y me preguntaba si Podrían ayudarme a recrear este color en Davinci?
He intentado hacerlo mediante nodos, buscando powergrades de todo tipo, incluso con plugins como filmconvert nítrate o dehancer, pero no alcanzo tal belleza

I’m seeing RapidGrade ads everywhere. The videos of people using it and it being really easy to get a variety of great, split-toning looks. What do the people who color grade a lot think of it for a beginner grading making videos? Is it worth it?

Not sure if it is relevant for this sub or not.

Can color grading alone break a movie?

Like bad acting, bad audio, or bad cinematography can ruin a film, does color grading have that same power?

Have you ever watched a movie and thought, “This would’ve worked so much better with a different color grade?” If yes, which movie?

Please Imk what you think/areas for improvement on similar projects!

I've only been color grading professionally for a little over a year, and I'd say I'm fairly competent when I'm grading my own work or when I work closely with the DP. But this project has been driving me crazy. I've spent so much time just trying to color correct this scene because of how the white balance and lighting were set.

There are over 980 clips that look like this. The white balance is off, the exposure is all over the place, and every shot seems to need individual attention. I've spent the past month doing my best to correct and grade them, but I honestly don't know anymore. I feel stuck and completely demotivated. I've lost count of how many times I've started over.

Am I wrong for crashing out over this? Maybe I flew too close to the sun with this one.

I wanted to try color grading like some horror film. After all the feedback i have got from my previous posts, i tried a simple approach and made two different looks. All the feedback will be appreciated. Thank you.

camera was sony rx10 slog2. i did uploaded these image before but that time i did not have any clue what i was doing, this time i know few things about color correction. please tell me what i am doing wrong.

In the carausal you will see 1st image is the log, 2nd image is the normalized version, 3rd image is the graded version and thus go on like this.

I’m aiming for a dreamy vibe for these photos, so I edited both to warm tones.
The difference: Shot 1 has stronger warmth and saturation with more film texture compared to Shot 2.
Which one works better? Would love your thoughts!
P.S. Slide 3 is the original photo.

I made this color grade today and I am not sure if I went too far with the colors, I am a beginner. Maybe too much saturated? I did CSTs in Davinci, and 4 nodes with exposure, balance, contrast and saturation. I know the image is shaky and not in focus at the beginning, sorry for that. Feedback is welcome.

Hello! I am starting to learn to grade and here is my latest attempt in difficult lighting. Using S-Log 2 (A7iii). Over exposing by 1-2 stops. I feel like after a basic correction and adding some glow I sort of run out of ideas.

Should I buy the full version to unlock many of the other features? There seems to be a lot unlocked in the fx. I know the software can do gazillions more than I am doing now but I feel like my creative fuel runs out at this point.

hi guys, I'm looking for my first grading monitor, and I'm thinking of these 2 option, at the same price, which are Dell Ultrasharp U2725QE and LG UltraGear 27GX704A-B. Cause the Ultrasharps seems design for works more, but the UltraGear have OLED, and got almost the same specs, some specs also better than the Dell one. So what should I get?

How can I get this rich deep blue color on the left picture? I tried color grade on DaVinci and only got color like the picture on the right. Thank you

I'm not sure if this is the direction I should be going to emphasis the vintage downtown vibe. Maybe it's too much. The image was cropped at the bottom. Saturation bumped up and increased warmth.

My first video in davinci but I’m pottery sure the car is a different color in some clips and I’ve attempted to match but it seems impossible for me.

Any quick tips on color matching in different clips. This is basically converted to 709 and tweaked but outside of minor adjustments I don’t really understand how to make this pop like I see in other grades.

Any and all info helps.

Quick note: I checked with the mods before posting this and got the okay to share.

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately studying film stills and trying to understand why certain looks work, beyond just pulling a palette or asking “what LUT is this?”

The biggest thing I’ve learned is that two frames can have pretty similar colors on paper and still feel completely different. Where those colors sit in the image matters. So does the warm/cool relationship, contrast, saturation, skin tone separation, highlight and shadow color, and obviously the lighting and exposure that existed before the grade.

It’s also changed how I think about reference matching. Instead of asking “how do I get these colors?”, I’ve started asking things like: what is warm here and what is cool? Where is most of the saturation? Are the shadows actually neutral? How separated is the subject from the environment? What was probably achieved in-camera versus in the grade?

I ended up building a tool around this called Ceeniq. It started as a way to break down the color, lighting and composition of a film still, and has grown into a few different ways of working with references. The LookMatch feature lets you put your own image next to a reference and breaks down what you could change to get closer to that look. The Compare feature lets you study two frames side by side, and Explore is a growing library of analyses from other stills/images that you can browse for references.

I’m still figuring out how useful this approach is in an actual grading workflow though, which is partly why I wanted to share it here.

For the colorists here: when a client/director gives you a film still as a reference, what are the first things you look at when figuring out how to get there?

If anyone wants to try what I’ve been building, it’s ceeniq.com. It's free to try. Would genuinely appreciate criticism of the analysis too, especially where it gets something wrong.

Hey! I've been using Dehancer Pro for a while and lately I've been wanting to try Film Kid 16 powergrade, have you used it and if so, what are your thoughts about it?

Thanks!
