A quick preview of the first subtitles so you know what the video covers.
today's episode. So, let's head over to DaVinci Resolve, and let's get cracking . So, here we are in DaVinci Resolve . This is the clip that we are going to be using today . It's a girl on the beach. . We've got quite a bit of breakage here in the highlights , because this is a Rec. 709 image . And what we are going to be doing today is we're going to be looking at this side here , which is quite darker than the rest of the image . And there is also a splodge around about here that plays on screen . I don't know what that is or where that's come from from this clip. This clip is from our grid . Um but this is something that we're going to be looking at removing as well , all in the color page . So, let's head down to our scopes . You can see we've got a little bit more of a lift on the right-hand side than the left-hand side . What we want to do is we just want to balance out the left-hand side of the image . Before we do that, what we need to do is we need to convert our Rec. 709 out to an intermediate space . And as per usual, we're going to be working in DaVinci Intermediate . So, all we need to do is come over to here to our color space transform . We need to drag that onto our node , and then let's go over to our input color space input gamma , and that's going to be a Rec. 709 gamma 2.4 . So, we're just going to scroll down till we find 2.4 . And as we mentioned, we're going to go out to a DaVinci wide gamut and a DaVinci intermediate, which is just here . So, we're going to come across to our node . We're going to right-click. We're going to add a node , add a serial, and we're going to take this across to the right-hand side of this node tree . [snorts] So, now we're going to come over to here . We're going to right-click. We're going to copy that . We're not going to right-click. We're going to copy this
