The ONLY NODE STRUCTURE you'll ever need!

I appreciate this video. It's something I've been looking for for a very long time. Thank you for your help

Thanks a lot, straight to the point! I work on a Mac and use my timeline and output color space settings in Rec.709-A in order to prevent gamma shift in my exports (a lot of people recommend me to do that). What should I do? Switch to Davinci Widegamut or keep it that way?

Two questions:

1. How do you know when a Look out of the ones on resolve requires a Cineon or any other color space input?

2. Can you export this as a LUT and it will retain all information including nodes and secondaries?

Thank you sir you’re great.

Like Darrens

If I am not wrong, so LUTs will be added where the 'look' node is! Am I right? Or It needs to be in another node?

Using that node structure, what would you do to make different deliverables? One in Rec 709, one in Rec 2020? Wouldn't the Look node be "out of bounds"? Or would you add another CRT after the look?

can you helpme make tutorial color grading for non log video?

Hello! I didnt understand whats up with the lut. It said "rec709 kodak 2383", but this lut "doesn't want 709 gamma 2.4" So basically you add node with same color space but different gamma, wich is cineon. Whats the logic behind naming this luts, how can i possibly know wich lut wanna wich gamma setting. it is not written on its name, do i have to guess and trial each time i want to apply new look?

Why did you choose Cineon Film Log for the 2nd last node? Does it depend on which LUT i choose in my look node (last node in your tree)?

Is there anyway to save nodes as a present on DR? Please someone make a video on that.

Is there a reason why you went Davinci Wide Gammut / Intermidiate to 709 g2.4 then r709 cineon film log instead of just from Wide Gammut /Intermidiate straight to r709 Cineon Film Log?

Thanks!

Excellent and helpful video!
If I put a different LUT then I have to change the last CST?

Amazing tutorial. Concise and well explained. Trying this tree today with my s-log footage.

Not that you need it but you got another subscriber... this is very clear and to the point....I always get confused with CST...I have a blackmagic pocket cinema camera and I often get the specs wrong... but I'll mimic your node tree and figure it out..thanks once again for this amazing tutorial

Thank you for teaching this. It was very helpful and easy to understand.

what's the purpose of secondary adj nodes there ?

You lost me so bad when it came to adding that "film" look lut around 3 minutes. You placed a Lut called "rec 709 Kodak" and then you put a CST that transformed to Cineon something? I'm so damn confused.

Very nice tutorial, Alex. Thank you. 🌿🌹🌿🌹

What is this software?

4 minutes in and my video already looks better -- godsend

thank you very much Sir

good video,i have a question,in the firsth cst can i select fro my zve10 sony(hlg3 picure profile)
imput color srgb
imput gamma rec.2100 hlg
and also i dont understand why do you use 2 cts in the videos i've seen people use just 1 cts a the end
whit output rec709
thanks i have always this doubt i dont know i can tranform my hlg in rec709

Thank you man, amazing video. Clear as day, you make it easy to grasp.

I usually create my look eariler on. After my primaries nodes and before my texture based nodes.

Honestly, need to see this kind of node tree, so many people have a HUGE amount of nodes everywhere and it look really complicated. But with this atleast i can start my coloring better now while it being organized and easy.

I'm new to colorgrading. Why do we need to transform the colorspace so many times?

This is great, thanks!

Very nice, thanks!

you do not need to manipualte rec 709 A on apple ?

Color looks like shit

Hi Runhaar, great tutorial! I've been using similiar structure for my grading work as a Beginner. This actually gives me much more insight thanks. I have a few questions though... I recently bought Leeming Lut and give it a try. Based on the structure you shown in this tutorial, where would you put the correction lut? Or it would be an entirely different structure (with correction lut) before I can do any color grading. Thanks!

Love this video, thank you! Is there any disadvantage to following this procedure on an adjustment layer versus the clips themselves?

Keep coming back to this after months, best tutorial

What do you do if you already have your footage shot in rec2020 cineonlog? What do I change it into first, and then what do I change it back to at the end? Cuz I saw that you transformed it to cineonlog to have the film look lut applied. Can I skip the initial cst, and the rec709 transform at the end? If my timeline is in rec709 do I need the rec709 cst at the end anyway?

The best. Thanks a lot! This is exactly what I needed.

sir your camera video and your screen recording video quality dosent match its not a fault just reminder and am love your work sir

If my footage was not recorded by RED cameras what input should i use? eg. Sony a7

How to switch nodes on and off? And why u call it phone look? I just dont understand that. Ty in advance

Thanks for the Tutorial. Question. When you set the input color space and input gamma to "x" how do you know what it was shot in or does it matter? I am using iphone 15 pro and the black magic camera app. New to color grading but really enjoying learning. Thanks again.

thank you for your tutorials.
keep going.

Many users may only need to perform basic color correction and grading tasks, such as adjusting exposure, contrast, saturation, or applying creative looks. In these scenarios, a simplified interface that consolidates common color adjustments into a single node or panel could be more user-friendly and efficient.
One potential approach could be to introduce a "Basic Color Grading" mode or panel that consolidates common adjustments into a single interface, while still allowing users to switch to the traditional node-based workflow for more complex grading tasks. This could strike a balance between simplicity and advanced functionality, catering to both novice and experienced colorists.

How would this process differ for some one using purchased LUTS, such as the Phantom LUTs for my Sony? Or is this in place of using LUTs all together?

gold!

what is the advantage of using the same node tree over and over?

Definitely my favorite approach I've seen so far. Thanks for sharing! Someone said that after a node is converted to Cineon, every clip afterwards must be assigned to 'Gamma > Cineon Film Log' by right clicking the node. Would you do this step for the Kodak LUT? I tried it with your steps here and brought my black back. What are your thoughts?
