I don't know if people learning Da Vinci on KZitem appreciate that some people teaching courses have only learnt it themselves in the last 2 years whereas your in-person course at Soho Editors for example was over £500. It's great that you do these many free videos for those learning DVR and long may your subscribers grow!

Hey Darren great vid once again! I think lots of us would like to see a "top to bottom" calibration workflow for your monitors, cause there is great information out there from many sources, buried in pages of forums and pretty hard to keep up to and understand practically, and I think it would be refreshing to see your workflow with the knowledge and professionalism you accumulated over these years. Cheers!!

Hi Lefty. Thanks for ideas. appreciated. Its not my best area of expertise...I have my monitors calibrated professionally, I don't do it myself. I think its a skill and investment in the best kit is very expensive. No problem to do yourself, I just dont have time to do that and prefer to know my monitors have been calibrated with best kit and best people - but. mainly due to time...I run a busy facility and to learn this skill is not best use of my time at present. I hope that makes sense.

For example, how to analyze a clip and his to make decisions about corrections as well as how to create looks (and the psychology behind them). That would be great and it is desperately needed.

Do you have any reommendations on how I should film and if I can create some sort of power-preset for that to save time in edit? Thinking for example doing 15 separate clips of A-roll vs one long with all 15. Any sort of pros and cons to think about for face refine? I do get a little to much eye bags unfortunatly that I would love to try to edit out

Spend time getting your lighting and exposure how you want it so you dont need to correct - best time saver I did. For eyebag removal you can do that with Studio version.

Hi Darren, I've been waiting for your new ep and voila! So excited to see this super helpful video of yours. I've got a few questions if you don't mind! 1. Would this technique work properly if the person is talking and moving? Hers/His eyes and lips will be moving and I'm wondering specifically about lips and teeth. If I isolate the separated node for lips just like you did, will it work properly?? 2. If I need this technique on the body(such as arms, hands, legs or perhaps belly? chest?), what's the best way? Power windows for each parts of body + tracking then apply beauty? Lastly, I would like to thank you a million for superb tutorials. DR17 is so powerful and I learn new awesome things everyday. Your tutorials helped me a lot and I'd like to see more often! Btw, have you got any plan to do live? That'd be brilliant! Anyways, always stay awesome and healthy!

With this feature (and Texture Pop / face refine), how do you deal with situations where the talent moves slightly further from or closer to the camera, or turn their heads so that one side is further than the other and the DOF is very shallow? Wouldn't that necessitate different settings to the ones you applied here for those frames (because pores, or fine hairs etc are now falling into a different threshold)? Can these tools compensate, or is it generally imperceptible anyway?

Hi Darren, firstly many thanks for all your videos, I find them extremely useful ! Anyway, I'm a little puzzled about the parallel node that you used for the young woman's lips. I appreciate there's nothing wrong with using it, but I assumed that you would use a layer node instead for the lips, with the lip node being on the bottom and taking priority ? With the parallel node, you're mixing the lip and the face corrections, so the lip will/may be changed by the face corrections too? I'm just a learner, so just trying to understand things !
@DarrenMostyn
2 жыл бұрын
Yes you could use a layer node. I 'generally' use parallels as I like the mix of the effect, but yes a layer node would work. With layer node you need to be careful because your window shape is then the mix so it might look false if not enough softness added. Hope that helps.

Well Darren, this one is going to do well I think. My only comment really is that young girl hardly needs your expertise or skin treatment. I could have sent you a photo of me, that would have been more of a challenge. lol . The lips also worked out because she didn't open her mouth, so I would have probably drawn the windows on her bottom and top lips separately, to deal with that shine. Still wish that BMD would give us the ability to edit the face refinement mask after it is analyzed. I still don't use that OFX because of that. Frustrating seeing it go off ( as you mentioned in the video ) and you really can't fix it. The OFX series is absolutely fantastic for a resource - bookmarking your playlist on youTube, I can now easily pull up and refresh my memory by revisiting your excellent tutorials on them. In my opinion, one of the weakest parts of Resolve's excellent manual. But probably because it is textual explanations, the real life applications of them require the visual aspect to show how the tools react. So now we have your videos as an appendant to the manual. Thank you so much for that. cheers

Thanks Jim. Im very sure this girl doesn't need smoothing and most of my clients insist I don't do this skin smoothing which is refreshing. However, just this week, the production company I was working with was asked by the talent (A-list actor) in a TVC to make his skin smoother after he saw the approvals. This is the tool I used to deal with this and why I decided to make this episode. I think older skins, mine included, need the 'texture' left just as is and lets hope everyone embraces getting older naturally!!!!
