Color Space vs. Color Gamut Explained through Real-World Examples

a writer at his core

Hey Qaz. I mostly work on my grading footage on my Macbook pro which has XDR Display (P3 - 1600 nits). When I change it to HDTV for Rec.709, It get's much darker and won't let me adjuts brightness. Do you recommend I use the P3 gamut and within DaVinci instead of changing my gamut to 709 I change it to P3?

How about monitors like asus pg27aqdm ?

If I grading my project in srgb display and my output color space is rec 709 but my out gamut is srgb. Do I need to grade in rec 709 in this case or srgb?

probs a stupid question but im level 1 beginner. How do you know what colour space / gamut input to put... is it related to the camera you use ?Help !

Question: why should I shoot in S Log 3 with Lots of information and then change the colours from BT 2020 to Rec 709( though on Sony a7c the normal PP is 8Bit also the S Log) ?
Q2: How much can we bring changes to an 8 Bit footage?

Hi Waqas, I've been watching your videos for a while and they've helped me improve my work greatly. My question for you is this: my laptop screen can display 10-bit colors with 78% DCI-P3, but I have to switch on HDR in my display settings to do so. Most of the time, though, my work gets uploaded to social media or websites. Do I need to change my screen's color space to sRGB (from windows color management profiles) before grading footage that I intend to output in sRGB? The same goes for footage that I intend to output in Rec. 709; do I need to change my screen's color space to Rec. 709 before grading it?

I paid a presencial color grading course and I wish I saw your videos before. You’re by far the best one when it comes to color grading. Thanks for your videos.

Great video as always, we went for the FS. BTW we have been following your vids for like 2 years now and never have we ever been able to watch your 1 hour webinar:( Always just stuck on "Connecting to broadcast"

What if I use rec2020 over rec709 for an slog footage by a Sony A7Siii? I see the difference in color, but I don't understand when I should use what. 😕

I got a question. I work with a 24" M1 Mac, so if i work in ACES inside davinci resolve, should i change the Monitor color space to ACES too? or i should leave it in P3 as default

Hi there. Great tutorial, as usual. I was wondering how to keep a correct color space/gamma workflow when roundtripping to after Effects for vfx shots. I always get it pretty close, but never quite perfect. Any suggestion? Maybe a tutorial? Thanks Qazi!

This is a must watch! Thank you!

so i am using i phone and what setup of my macbook screen should i use to have the same results while i exporting the footages

Hey Waqas, I was wondering if there is a way you could show us how to change the color space viewing mode on a monitor from DCI-P3 to sRGB on PC? BTW, keep up the great content, always so much great information!!

Thank you 🤘🏼

Thank you so much Quazi! No one could explain this better...

So a monitor with just 100% srgb is good enough for video editing?
