right so in today's video I want to talk about one of the biggest mistake a lot
of people make including some of the professionals and definitely in many
cases a lot of amateurs so let's jump into the vent resolve and find out
we incite DaVinci Resolve and we have clip from Blackmagic Design
website they provide a bunch of those clips about six months ago so we can
train and practice basically so here we have the clip and the biggest mistake
that a lot of people make like I mentioned earlier let me apply quick
little color or something so we can see better so let's say this is original
rec.709 what a lot of people make a very big mistake is when they do creative
color grading okay so I'm gonna go in extreme please don't crucify me for this
kind of grade so let's say that this is the grading let's say that this is what
the client want well the biggest mistake as we can see here
on the scopes that our blacks went completely crazy and what a lot of
people never fix is the fact that black should always remain black and this is
basically what separates professionals from amateurs well obviously on top of
many other things but let me show you a couple ways you can fix well way number
one let's go to the log and we can see that the green is very elevated so what
I'm gonna do I'm gonna try to bring that green on the same level okay and in the
log let me decrease it a little bit the way I only affecting kind of bottom part
of it because we still want to preserve as much of that look as possible so
really quick before and after let me put fullscreen okay before and after we can
see that his shirt was kind of nasty green and now it's basically more or
less balanced so this is number one way you can do okay so let me get rid of
this second way which is effective but not necessarily the correct way in all
of the cases for example I really prefer doing it professionally with a
log wheel you can just decide that blacks and it works in certain
situations however I recommend really using the log control better for this
kind of stuff so let's go to the qualifier luma let me select the darkest
part okay like that go down go down go down okay something like this let's make
sure that we have soft selection okay and we can just remove saturation okay
and as we can see once I did that we have our blacks more or less balanced as
well now two of those ways depending on your situation you can use whatever way
you like but I really recommend sticking to actual log because when you just a
cheat it once you do another note basically this information is
desaturated and it's a little problematic kinda try to recover what
technically has no more color information even though the in terms of
supposedly work you know you can recover the previous notes whatnot I really
don't recommend doing that way oh that was it for today's episode of color
grading thank you for watching and I will see ya soon
