How To Color Grade Nikon Z9 N-Raw In DaVinci Resolve

This was originally supposed be a 15 minute tutorial, instead it turned into a mini course! In this video, I break down how to color grade Nikon N-Raw footage from the Nikon Z9 in DaVinci Resolve. When the Nikon Z8 is announced, this video should also serve as instructions on how to color grade the N-Raw from that camera as well. We work through three examples from A-Z starting with in-depth explanation, and then picking up the pace. We start from the very basics of what Raw video is, to color tool explanations, all the way to building out a 20 node graph node tree. 🔥 Introducing ColoristHQ 🔥: https://sidneybakergreen.com/coloristhq Nikon Z9 N-Raw PowerGrades: https://shop.sidneybakergreen.com/pro...
