How To Color Grade Like a PRO

jimmy! i send you and email about your 500t powergrade!

this is all so complicated

Amazing deep dive. I learned a ton. Thanks, Jimmy!

Why would you work in a Arri (or even Sony!) color space instead of the bigger and better Blackmagic wide color space? Especially with material that is not from an Alexa? Also you whole color pipeline seems overcomplicated on not really clean. Like using a LUT to go from log to 709 is les than ideal.

very helpful,thanks a lot!!

lots of valueble information in this. good job!

amazing ty for the info

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but... doesn't putting a color space transform node (or similar coor management lut) in the end mean that it's transforming your environment before you make changes? So then you're editing color in the limited space you outputted? Or it might be that I missed something in the beginning when you were explaining how you manage your spaces?

Well done! Just like how I did my last project. We’re on the right track at least eh! Very nice looking video shots too! Love it!

are you adjusting offset wheel with printer lights ? why not with panel

Cool stuff man! Your timeline color space should be in a wide color gamut, too. Ideally Arri LogC in your case no?

First time I've seen grading with printer lights! Nice. Also looks like that's a regular num-pad that is repurposed? Would love to get more details on that!! I can totally see how fast balance-leveling is with that.

Wonderful explanations as always. Keep up the great work!

Very helpful bro, nice job!

hi @jimmy, I have tried twice but I have not been able to find the lut kodak 50D, so please help me with the lut

great channel mate!!!!

Gorgeous work!!

The amount of value here... Ridiculous

Thanks for sharing this. Very informative! Question, if I use a FPE lut or any other lut thats making my contrast way too crunchy, do I balance the contrast on the clip level or group level prior to the FPE node?

Jimmy this is so good (:

how the duck nobody is talking about this. grading with rgb offset is amazzzzing

did you take these shots with an iPhone??

man im so happy i found your channel

Make a video colorgrading on top of the film match powergrade. I really need help with this

This is a great lesson.
I do have a question, I have a Zcam, where can I find that plug-in?

I love this channel bro

Hey Jimmy you know your "FilmMatch" LUT can I add this on to Adobe premiere pro?

Is that literally just a wireless numpad with stickers on it and the buttons re-mapped? If so that's genius and I need one too

its better to label your node so that the viewers will not be confused like us as beginners,.thanks

why you prefer only using offset wheel why not use lift-gamma-gain wheel would tell me?

I got lost between look dev and grading prep, how did you get what you did on the first step and applied it on the actual short film grading?

This is the best one I have found so far !

wow, another gem on the web! Thanks Jimmy!

does filmmatch also come with a working lut? so I can have a good representation of how the final shot will look while filming?

Great tutorial! Nice to see my footage being used for this. For the close up shots we used a different speherical lens, that's a big reason the shots don't cut together perfectly, but the other shots were all done on an anamorphic lens and were all exposed the same, the weather and lighting was dynamic and that would lead to some inconsistencies with the exposure.
