WHY IS COLORGRADING SO HARD?!
Everyone lied to me. I watched the big pro videos, downloaded davinci, and I've been trying for WEEKS and can't color grade my clip still. Everyone said, "You can edit anything on Davinci, hell most of the super cinematic popular movies like Avatar were made on Davinci. You don't even need Davinci Studio you only need the free version." I thought to myself, cool, if everyone can do it so can I. I download the app, and watched hour long videos upon videos following each step to try and color grade a clip so I can edit a video for my youtube/tiktok channel. No dice. NOTHING I do can save this clip from exposure and grain hell. I have a Fujifilm XS20, and since I'm new, I followed a tutorial on camera settings, which unfortunately told me to add grain to my videos. Didn't know what that was, but now that I'm editing, I want to delete my past self from existence. My video looks grainy as HELL!! The focus keeps going in and out even though the shot is STATIONARY, it's DARK AS HELL and as I'm black, when I try and fix the exposure, the video looks so bad I want to cry. And yes I filmed in Flog. I tried watching the "Life changing color grading videos" so don't come for me on that. I tried the tutorials of removing the grain without the studio ver, BUT NOTHING IS WORKING! I don't know what else to do or where to go to fix this, and I really want to learn how to color grade and edit. This is what I've gotten so far from trying to fix the video. Idk. Am I a lost cause?
