All language subtitles for 5 DaVinci Resolve Effects That Unlock Turbo Mode

You ever come across somebody that won't
reveal their secret bag of tricks?

Maybe they're afraid you'll gain
an unfair advantage.

Well, there's no snobs here.

You're going to get the five hacks

every beginner should know
to get a cinema quality look.

And Da Vinci resolve

got banding from eight bit

video smoothed

log footage
without flopping on a lot by home,

uneven skin tones,
beautified, flickering video.

That's the problem of the past.

Confused by color, wheels or curves,

just point, click and drag.

You may or may not have ever reached
into the bag of tricks found in the open

effects tab, but here are the five open
effects hacks every beginner should know.

Number one de Band.

Now we're not talking about breaking up
a band, but how we address banning issues

or the blocky chunky effect
that we sometimes see in eight bit video.

This usually manifests itself in skies
where we have a gradient

and there's not enough detail
or there's missing colors.

And so we see these
large steps of gradation.

While there isn't a perfect solution,
the demon effect can make it less obvious

this is how to use it.

We first need to qualify or mask the sky,

then apply the de band effect from here.

Just adjust the settings
to set the strength of the effect

depending upon the clip.

If at some point you go too far,
you can always dial it back

with a global blend slider.

Number two color space transform
for dealing with log to rec

seven nine conversion
rather than using a lot

that crimps the signal,
making it impossible to recover.

Highlight detail and dynamic range.

A better way to address log
footage is with the color space transform

on these clips from an aerial x,
the camera will add the color space

transform to this shot.

Set the input color space to Ari Alexa

input Gamma to Ari log C
since we know that's what we have

and boom, we get better tone
mapping with the ability to fine tune.

And we're not losing any detail
in the shadows or highlights.

If, say, we want to recover them later.

Of course, this doesn't mean

you won't need to perform
manual corrections like fixing exposure

and color balance issues,
but this will give you a better start.

And I suggest reaching for this
the next time you consider using a lot.

Plus, if you need to match

multiple different cameras together,
this is the best way to do it.

For example, if you have red footage
that you want to match with the aria

Alexa footage, or vice versa,
just simply choose the input color space.

In this case, red, white,
gamma, rg B gamma red log 3G ten

and set the output

color space to Ari, Alexa and Gamma
to Ari.

Log C with this.

The red footage is mapped
to the same Alexa color space

and should make it much easier
for matching.

Just make sure to
then add a second instance to transform

Alexa log C to rec seven or nine.

Number three color compressor.

What color compressor does
is it changes the hue saturation

and luminance of your image
to match a target color that you choose.

For instance, if I choose green and move
the compressed hue slider,

you'll see how it's pushing all the hues
towards green until it reaches a point

where the whole image matches
the green hue and moving the saturation

and luminance sliders.

We reach a point where the whole image
turns into a solid green that green

we picked.

Okay, cool.

But how is that useful
in a real life situation?

If you've got to fix uneven skin
with reddish or yellow areas or even dark

eye bags, you can qualify the skin
and apply the color compressor.

Then use the eyedropper
to pick a color in the skin

that has the better looking hue
saturation and luminance.

Around here

now, as they begin to move the hue
slider to the right.

All those other hues begin to disappear
and the skin becomes more even.

Now, we don't want to go too far to the

right
because that'll make it look unnatural.

The effect works better
if we just add a little.

The same goes for the saturation
and luminance sliders.

Let's see the before and after

clear even skin and just a few seconds.

Number four D flicker.

Another common problem
we may find is flickering.

If the camera shutter speed or angle
doesn't match with the frequency

of fluorescent lighting.

You get this flickering effect
with d flicker.

This is a problem of the past by default,
it's set for fixing flicker issues

related to time lapses,
but for lighting, just switch

to the floral light preset
and it works wonders.

If you're feeling adventurous,
you can always jump into the advanced

settings and play around
with the parameters until you find that

sweet spot.

And number five, cinema grade.

While this isn't a built in effect,
it does allow you to bypass confusing

color wells and curves to color grade.

Write directly on the image, just point
over an area you want to change.

Click and drag up or down to change it.

You can use this to bring shadows
up, brighten skin tones, you name it.

Plus,
you can use this tool in false color mode

where red indicates blown out detail
so you can drag down to recover highlights

and correct skin tone exposure until they
turn into gray, green and pink colors.

And instead of placing points on hue
curves, you can click

any area to change its hue,
saturate action and luma.

In addition,

you get 90 built in
color looks and film stocks,

so you can find the right
look for your project with even greater

ease and simplicity
to get a cinema quality look.

So these are my top
five open effects tools.

so I can make a part too.

There's so many useful open
effects tools like dehaze, glow

lens flare lens reflection, face,
refinement, dirt removal.

The list goes on.
