hey guys my name is Jeremy I do a lot of different stuff here around seven Productions one of the things that I have set up here is our way of matching footage between different cameras using Color Management in D Vinci resolve it is super easy to do it's built right in into the settings and I'm going to show you how to do that right now okay I have Da Vinci resolve opened up here and the first thing we want to do is double check our project settings so if we click on the icon here and then we're just going to go over to this color management tab right here so we're going to click on color management and by default I have this set up so it already go comes into our workflow but if you don't have this set up this way it would probably start off looking like this and so you're going to see in your color science uh the default is this da Vinci yrgb color science then you'd have a timeline color space of Rec 709 output color space set by default to same as timeline we're going to change all of these settings here here so the first thing we want to do is switch our color science to Da Vinci yrgb color managed and then again this is the workflow that we use at round seven Productions so this may not be your preferred workflow but we like to not use the automatic color management so I'm going to untick this box and then in my color processing mode I'm going to choose HDR Da Vinci wide gamma intermediate and what that is going to be able to do is that is a very wide color space space that is going to be able to make it so that we can take footage from any number of different other color spaces uh SL log 3 DJI uh dlog uh really any kind of color profile that you would shoot in with your camera it is going to then convert that into this wider color space uh which is going to be able to help us uh just get it all matched together and then the output is set to this re 709 setting and actually we're going to change that setting two we're just going to go from RE 709 to re 79 gamma 2.4 and that is just kind of the standard color space most people's displays can understand this it's going to look right uh pretty much everywhere if you do this all right so we have these settings uh set and we're just going to go ahead and click save and then I already have some footage loaded in here so bcam which is a Blackmagic pocket Cinema 6K I didn't have to tell it what this footage was because it's uh recording in B so uh Da Vinci already knows uh the color space here so if it knows already it's going to do the conversion for you if it doesn't know already you're going to have to tell it and a pro tip there uh one thing that we always tend to do is whenever we're dumping footage onto our server uh we put that footage in a folder where we label what camera it came from that way whoever is doing this later uh knows what the color space likely was that um the footage was shot in this is my a camera right here for this two camera interview setup this is shot on our Sony fx30 and it is SL log 3 and I'm going to go ahead and I have this brought into the spin right here going to select all of these I'm going to tell Da Vinci what our input color space is here so I'm going to go to input color space come down to Sony and then said this is uh s log 3 so Sony uh s gamut 3 Sy s log 3 so we're going to click on that and then what we'll find is all of a sudden this footage looks a lot more normal looks kind of how it should okay we're going to move over to the color page now and the next step in this process is just to make sure that our white balance and exposure are the same between our two cameras Da Vinci will have done all of the matching work under the hood based on the settings that we turned on just a little bit ago so as a DP I always like to bring a color checker that makes this job a lot easier and I just grab a few frames of that at the beginning of a shoot before I start the interview so we're going to go ahead and pull the white balance off of this card right here by clicking on this eye dropper here in our primaries and grab a white balance there and on this clip do the same thing should be pretty close to matching then we're going to go ahead and apply that grade to our aam so I've got my aam for my interview selected right here I'm just going to go over to that clip that I had of the aam with a color checker on there I'm going to right click select apply grade and if we turn off the second track we'll see what that did go ahead and do the same thing on this clip so this is our bcam click on our color Checker bcam clip apply grade and I'll just look back and forth between them now so I'm going to disable this track and that one and the I mean these really do match um just one other double check I'm going to do just going to check my skin tones so I'm going to select my vectros scope and I have the skin tone indicator line turned on here you can do that by clicking these settings here and just selecting this another Pro tip that I have is I have another setting that I have turned on if I click on these three dots I have this display qualifier Focus option turned on this is uh something that I will do normally to check my skin tones so with that turned on what that does is when I have my eyedropper tool selected and I hover over my anywhere on my image there's a little circle that displays what I'm looking at so this skin tone is just dead on looks perfect same same here so that's really it um let's just check the exposure so go over to our waveform over over this corner of his forehead just to see where that's sitting on exposure and we can see it's right around this area on our waveforms and same area here so this footage is matched now as a bonus um I've added some Drone footage in here so I have a drone clip in here and again we can see this is a another flat picture profile this is dlog so we're going to option F to find this clip in our media pool and we have that right over here right click go to input color space this time we're going to select DJI dlog and we'll see this footage has been corrected and it matches pretty well well let's just turn it off and compare it to our other clips and yeah I'd say this matches I might do a little bit more work on this depending on where it falls into the video but like I said for the final delivery I there's a whole not tree that we would normally use to kind of create a look and I'll be doing another video to break that down and show you guys how that works but as far as getting the footage matched I mean we're there it was really simple really easy just use a color management feature built right into Da Vinci resolve and that's how we work if you found this useful at all go ahead and hit the like
