COLOR CORRECT OM-Log 400 | 8-bit & 10-bit Footage | Resolve 17 Beginner Crash Course

Hey guys,

One of the most requested topics I've received so far is how to color grade and correct OM-Log 400 footage. So here is a crash course showing you how I set up Resolve 17 ready for the footage, a basic, yet comprehensive Node Tree structure, when and when not to use the OM-Log LUT, getting perfect skin tones and reading scopes.

This is aimed at beginners and amateurs who may have dabbled in Resolve, but not fully understood the potential of the software.

It's a long one, but color correcting and grading is a profession in itself, and there really is no 1-click magic bullet that gets you perfect footage each and every time.

Please also note, this isn't a color grading tutorial, rather it's more of a colour-correcting tutorial. Without solid color correcting skills, you cannot even think of getting creative with your grades.
