Now I’m reading Color collection handbook by Alexis Van Hurkman and the main control of the images are Lift, Gamma, Gain and Offset.

Cullen Kelly said using those tools are not good because we have to compensate multiple times, it takes a lot of time.

Are there any professionals who mainly use these tools in their workflow?

As far as I know, in DaVinci Resolve, people typically use Global for exposure and linear gain for white balance, and rely on DCTL for most of the rest.

Right now, I’m trying different methods and tools to build a consistent workflow, so I’d love to know how professionals approach this.

I just subscribed to Lowepost for learning professional workflow. I expected to be able to watch a lot of videos of professional workflow but apparently there are only 10 to 15 videos and all of them are so old.

Am I checking the wrong place? Or Lowepost just stopped updating?

hey guys, i’m grading a short on a 100nits mon, something i’m not used to at all, but the director wants to submit it to festivals.

is it “okay” if the grade looks absolutely terrible (apart from the overall exposure looking pretty blown out, the colours all get pretty washed too) when switching back to my normal 1600nits display.

my eyesight is seriously getting weirded out by all this, could use some advice on whether the grade should look good regardless of the display i’m using.

thank you :”

Hi,
I bought a bmpcc og which shoots raw and has a Arri sensor. It is very old but often complimented for its organic warm footage. Now I want to get the most out of my footage and get the film emulation look. However I do not know anything about colorgrading dctl etc. Are there good fundamental tutorials you recommend to complete beginners? Any specific youtube channels?
