The fifth node is for FINAL ADJUSTMENTS where you can apply effects like sharpness, denoise or film grain. Is this a sci-fi scene with otherworldly purple in the shadows, a heavenly scene with golden highlights or your typical Hollywood blockbuster scene with blue shadows and orange midtones? This is where you truly explore to dial in the scene’s look. If it’s your own custom look that you are creating, this is where you can let your imagination guide you. This can be your own custom look that you want to build yourself or you can use a LUT. The fourth node is going to apply your overall LOOK. Use more than one node if there are multiple colors to adjust. If there are any colors in the image that appear off, like the blue of the sky or the green of the trees, this is where you can also add qualifiers to adjust those particular parts. This is where you’ll correct for any unwanted color casts to the overall image. The third node is going to be for COLOR BALANCE. Monitor the RGB Parade scope and adjust the temperature and tint controls to get the color waveforms balanced and neutral. The second node is going to WHITE BALANCE your picture. Pay attention to the waveform scope while you tweak the gain/gamma/lift controls until the highlights are close to peaking (but aren’t) and the shadows are close to crushing (but aren’t) and gamma levels are spread out between 30-60%. This means we’re only making changes to the exposure to achieve a nice, balanced waveform to start off with. The first node should be for EXPOSURE BALANCE. It really is up to you to discover your own way to structure your node tree when creating a grade, but there is a basic order to start with until you find your own preferred order.
There are so many possibilities for how to arrange the nodes to achieve a particular look. That means it offers incredible flexibility to you in finding your grade. NODE ORDERĬhances are you already know that Davinci Resolve is a node-based application.
In that case here are some simple yet invaluable ways to better use this powerful application. But maybe you’re stuck at just the basics and want to level up your colorist talent. If you’ve been dabbling with Davinci Resolve off-and-on, you might be pretty familiar with its interface and feel fairly confident with your skills using it.
