Sony FX3 I shy from shooting SLOG3 as I cant figure out how to get a rich vibrant picture like an iPhone. I know then why did I buy it. I wanna become a professional. So I wonder if there is a way to color grade that way. Thanks!
Hi Waqas Qazi!! An Awesome, and professional explanation. Right on point. Very happy with this video. Thanks a lot
that noise reduction trick is awesome
Hi Qazi. My biggest headache right now is Media Offline error that occurs especially when I set to Render Cache. Both USER and SMART option. No, there are no missing clips. Relinking does not work. Clearing cache does not work. Zooming works, but soon as clip turns blue, the Media Offline error is back. SEND HELP!!!

HI, How to take and deliver footages to the clients, what is the workflow for the projects in which different softwares are used and as a colorist how can we work along that. thanks
We need the best export for instagram reels. Reels kills our quality no mater what we do
Hey dude, Have you ever graded Z cam footage? there is no colour input space for the camera but would be good to see you have a go at z cam. I have a z cam if you want me to send you some footage. Raw pro res
How can I colour grade my Apple log footage to get the teal & Orange cinematic outcome? I realized all your previous video tutorial have log footage from professional camera and when I applied the steps on my Apple log, the results isn’t satisfactory.
I always get confused on how to get the perfect grading how to choose the right colors I watch one video it’s this way I watch another it’s different all so confusing can you show us your process on how you chose the perfect grade and colors.
Wow the first tip is fucking golden your channel is golden!
from the first steps about tree its already complicated!!!!!!! what about the color transfer in the last node, what yo start complicated, make color transform on 1 node, that copy past and too on...?
It's not complicated he just converted the slog footage to davinci wide gamut which allows you to work on a larger color space and in the last node he converted it from davinci wide gamut(because from node 1-6 it'll be DWG) to rec709 which is the color standard for digital platforms.
How do i get the Jobs ( For Beginners)
Couldn't I get the same result with the green curve?
Can you do another video explaining more on how to color grade 8bit footage and what’s the best log for 8bit footage, Slog2 or HLG? Love all the videos!
looking forward the fancy node tree
That Was A Wonderful Video After A Long Time
Waiting for the video " How To grade underwater footage " , Hope you'll make it soon 🙂
great questions and answers!! thanks
powergrade
Holy crap, I didn’t know you can ripple change nodes for selected clips🤯
Where did he mentioned this?
It would be nice to know the price for QuaziTools. Anyway it is a great channel, for me the best on YT related to color grading
I would like to ask if it's possible to explain to us how to get good results using the stabilization in resolve.
I have ONE question. I’m using pirate version of Davinci Resolve Studio and I’m curious is it Resolve on my system cant handle 4k, 422, 200mbps, h265, slog3 or the reason is that is pirate version? My PC specs: Ryzen 9 3600X RTX3060Ti 32Gb RAM NVME SSD Win11 P. S. I cant afford licence
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hi, I have a question. I'm using a Panasonic gx80/85. It has a flat(ish) Cinelike D profile, but shoots 8-bit 4:2:0. Resolve has a colour space transform for the panasonic v-log, but then this is too strong. Would it be better to scrap the whole in-depth grading experience and run with a natural profile and just lightly grade the basics? If so what sort of node tree would you build for this? I think there might be a lot of people in my situation where we want to play, but can't afford a camera that shoots better dynamic ranges. All the best and keep up the good work 💪🏼
How to find a job as a video editor and colourist???
Bro this was a great episode
Love your videos Qazi!! It has helped tremendously in my journey... As a wedding filmmaker I often struggle with grading footage taken at night during reception at weddings, the challenge being incandescent light often affecting skin tones and overall color, this is extremely difficult to balance Any advice would be appreciated!!
My question ❓ 1)How the base grade is important because the contrast black and white level is important to expose the shot correctly.. explain
Great video, thank you! I’ve been thinking about switching from my 2019 tower, but not sure if I want to go for the new tower Mac Pro vs Mac Studio. Are you finding that the TB ports provide enough I/O speed for everything you need to do? Internal SSD raids were my main hang up, but you make a good point that 3000MB/s is probably enough. What about resolve monitor card?
Lookin good bro! And thank you for this
I love this series. Great questions, keep it rolling.
Q. How to colour correct, colour balance, colour grade of iphone non pro(iphone 14,15) model's footages Q. Please make a tutorial on Blackmagic camera with non-pro models
Awesome Qazi! Love your videos, always worth watching sometimes repetitively :D THANK YOU
Hey Qazi Can you give us some tips on how to export our grades for clients Thank you
My questions: 1. Is it possible to not reset stabilization while copying grades? I usually stabilise on edit page before grading but if I copy grades later my stabilization disables and I have to remember to do it again. 2. What's the purpose of layer mixer, is it different than placing nodes one after the other? Maybe there was a video about it that I missed.
Excellent episode. Do you think Colorist will/have overcome Editors? As I think Colorist is specialised nieche where Editor is a whole spectrum. Thanks in advance.
Hey Qazi love your channel. Can you make a tutorial for the new Lumix GH7 on how to proper convert the Arri log C3.
Hi Qazi What will be difference between Netflix looks and movies looks because movies are inside the Netflix only Or there are same ?. I saw in UA-cam most of colorists have separate topics like Netflix looks and movies looks. Thank you KD
Definitely loved this episode
Great video.
Interesting. My question is, now that we have the film looks creator, what's the proper nod tree setup goin to look like?
How get proper node placement like when to do wb when touse primary etc
hey quazi i can't find the link of the shot to colorgrade
Another amazing video! Thanks man :)
