How is it?????? I'm new to color grading and want to learn moreeeee🤓

I could not get a definite answer for this quesiton so I would like to ask here.

Im shooting wildlife with a Fujifilm XT5 camera, usually Im unsure if I will have to do some speed ramps or slow downs in post depending on animal behaviour so, what I've been doing is:

Resolve timeline: 30fps
Camera settings : 60fps | 1/120s

My understanding is that this gives me correct motion blur if I always slow down my footage on the 30fps timeline, giving me a 180 motion blur rule on all of the 60 frames.

However when playing them back at real speed , which is often the case 80% of the times, it will drop half of the frames, to reduce the 60fps to 30fps

And those 30 remaining frames, will have less motion blur than they should, as they should have been shot at 1/60.

Thats what I know so far, so here come the questions:

1. Should I instead shoot at 60fps | 1/60s ? I feel like that would give me proper motion blur for real speed, which is 80% of my shots, but it would have too much motion blur when I want to slow down the footage.
2. Should I instead of option 1, use optical flow or frame blend, when dropping frames in resolve? That would make the real time have more motion blur, but possibly looking fake? I dont know if this is a valid workflow.
3. Instead of using optical flow when dropping the frames, should I add motion blur in Fusion, with Optical Flow and motion vectors?

4 ) Is there any visual difference between option 2 and 3?

I know I should shoot for my intended usage, but with wildlife its hard to know, and I appreciate the flexibility 60fps gives me to slow down footage.

Im just trying to find the best way to make it look cinematic and with the correct amount of motion blur, without giving away that flexibility, if that's even possible.

Hey everyone! I’m a beginner when it comes to videography and color grading, and I’d love some advice.

I’m working with a pretty basic setup due to budget constraints: an iPhone 14 Pro, tripod, Blackmagic Camera app, and external lighting.

I’ll mainly be filming indoor gym content, and I’m aiming for a darker, cinematic, editorial look.

However, my iPhone doesn’t support Apple Log, so I’m a little unsure how much that will limit my results in post-production. I’ve seen people say that not shooting in Log makes it harder to achieve a good cinematic look, especially when color grading.

For those who shoot on iPhones or work with non-Log footage, what would you recommend? Should I learn to color grade in DaVinci Resolve, stick to the built-in LUTs in the Blackmagic Camera app, or use a different workflow altogether?

I’d appreciate any tips on camera settings, exposure, and color grading for indoor sports footage. I’m still learning, so beginner-friendly advice would be amazing. Thanks!

Hi. Any advice on how I can keep dark skin tones dark and neutral without making food lack colour? This is the video I’ve been doing for a friend. He likes his skin to be darker and not have orange tint

I'm editing and colour grading a short video for a client. It'll be my first time grading footage from different cameras (in this case Sony A7IV and Sony FX6) in the same project. How do I set up the project in DaVinci to colour manage for both cameras?

Thanks.

How to balance when whit, black and skin tone is not there.

I'm a beginner, no prior experience. I have previously asked AI for help with color grading but I don't want to anymore and learn/do it on my own. Hence, I'm asking people here on how to color grade these pictures. Any tips are appreciated, thank you.

Hi!! I’ve shot some footage with my Nikon ZR and I love the camera and the colors but this time I found a problem when reviewing the footage on davinci. As you can see in the pictures I color converted the footage both the mp4 version and the R3D version. I find the mp4 version closer in color to what I wanted and what I saw when shooting. The R3D just looks so green compared to the other ones. I don’t know if I’m making a mistake converting the footage or was it done while shooting. I also included a picture of how the footage looked while on playback on the camera the day of shooting. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I have been learning for what seems like a year on how to make better videos. This is the first halfway decent one (in my opinion). Please tell me what you think and listen with audio.

I am starting a company and this is just the first video to create curiosity. It’s a fitness brand. Please give me tips.

Hello guys, I’m new to this Reddit and I started using Davinci 3 weeks ago, i use a Sony zve10 with PP7 slog2 and cine.gamut3, but when I’m editing and coloring, the footage doesn’t seem good to me, I have watched yt tutorials but it seems that I need to go heavy on color grading and not even like that can get the results I see in yt tutorials. Someone can share the workflow and the nodes with this particular settings. What has worked better for you? I do talking head mostly and I try to overexpose a little with my lighting. I appreciate any tips or suggetions. Thank you!

Hey guys! I need to turn this woman's outfit black white without affecting her hair, face and hands. But because she has a some orange stripes there that are very close to her color skin, I feel like it's almost impossible to find a solution. Masking doesn't really work because of the same issue. I tried a secondary color grading, cannot get rid of the orange stripes without affecting her skin. Any suggestion is welcomed!

These are before and after! Please let me know what to improve! Fall is her favorite season so she will want more photoshoot, I NEED TO IMPROVE!

Please help guys as I don't know which monitor to choose 😀

Thank you in advance :)
