Pro Colorist answers your questions about grading and DaVinci Resolve.
0:06 Introduction
2:50 Is the color warper a spatial tool?
3:32 When using RAW do you lower the ISO to open up shadows and compressed
highlights as part of the break, or do you prefer protecting highlights or shadows?
7:37 Do you avoid using the color warper for look creation? Can you show or explain
the potential artifacts of using color warper?
12:40 Is a spatial tool similar to texture in DCTL?
13:56 How would you correct a chromatic aberration in a video?
15:51 What are other ways to raise the shadows without breaking the image?
23:02 Could you explain how to create a bleach bypass look?
30:12 If you use the shadows and highlights controls in a node that has a composite
mode of ‘’Luminance’’ would that still result in a spatial operation?
36:00 Is it possible to achieve subtractive saturation using the given tools inside
Resolve?
38:47 Is making a curve adjustment only on the Y the same as adding a node in Lab
and adjusting only the first channel?
39:19 Where in the waveform do you set your black point?
47:14 Does noise reduction change depending on the resolution of the image or the
timeline?
48:28 How would you deal with infrared polluted footage?
52:49 Have you had a chance to work on any new Arri 35 material with texture
baked in camera? How do you feel about in camera texture application?
55:44 What are some ways of using vignettes or power windows instead of just
masking around the image?
59:21 Any idea for learning resources to go from an SDR workflow to HDR?
1:05:18 Conclusion
