Resolve color grading… but simple…?
I‘m a very small beginner creator. I would say that I already learned a lot about Resolve and know my ways. I know the basic concepts, I know how to edit my stuff, I know I have no business on the fusion and fairlight pages. All I want to do is creating videos in a simple, quick and reproducible way.
That said I am currently stuck at color grading. There are tons of YT tutorials. Everyone uses complicated node trees and color space conversions and in the end they all want to sell LUTs. On my action cam and drone I don’t use DLog which means I just need a simple, easy and REPRODUCIBLE recipe to great colors. Step by step, based on „numbers“, „Open this, dial in that number, make sure the scope looks like this…“ rinse and repeat.
The same goes for settings. I still don’t know which color settings are the baseline that covers 90% of all cases. The one „you can’t go wrong if you use this“ setting. Everyone talks about wide gamut and special settings you have to consider when on a Mac to avoid gamma shift. Is this even relevant for somebody like me who edits for YT and for fun?
Could you please point in the right direction? Thank you.
