ep02S01 Dehancer Tutorial Colorgrading Nodetree

Build Your First Professional Color Grading Workflow | DaVinci Resolve + Dehancer If you've ever opened DaVinci Resolve and wondered... *"Where do I even start?"* ...then this video is for you. One of the biggest mistakes I see beginners make is jumping straight into creative grading without building a solid foundation first. So instead of showing you random tools or effects, I wanted to walk you through the complete workflow I personally use on real client and personal projects. We'll start by building a clean, node tree from scratch, step by step. Once that foundation is in place, I'll show you how I expand it specifically for Dehancer by adding dedicated nodes for film emulation, Halation & Bloom, Grain and a final Color Space Transform! This isn't just about copying a node tree it's about understanding *why* every node has its place. From there we'll dive into primary corrections using both Sony FX3 and DJI footage, before moving into secondaries, creative grading and finally my complete Dehancer workflow. Throughout the video I'll explain my thought process as a colorist and why I make certain creative decisions. My goal isn't just to show you what I do, but to help you understand why I do it. Whether you're completely new to Resolve or already have some experience, I hope this gives you a workflow you can build on with confidence. --- Video Contents: • Building a professional node tree from scratch • Expanding the node tree for an efficient Dehancer workflow • Primary corrections on Sony FX3 footage • Primary corrections on DJI footage • Secondary corrections • Professional grading workflow • Understanding the psychology behind color • Working with Dehancer • Lightroom workflow • Photoshop workflow • Final thoughts Support the Channel If you'd like to try Dehancer yourself, you can support both the channel and future tutorials by using my affiliate link and promo code below. 🔗 *Link to Dehancer and all the **programs:* https://www.dehancer.com 🎁 *Promo Code -10%* *VANBERGEN* You'll receive a discount on your purchase, while your support helps me continue creating free educational content for filmmakers and colorists. *About my collaboration with Dehancer Transparency has always been important to me.
