Master Baselight’s Powerful Base Grade Operator
In this Insight, we take a deep dive into the Base Grade operator in Baselight, walking through everything you need to know if you’ve never used it. I cover every aspect of this tool:
- Changing the zone pivot and falloff
- Operating the pick-and-match function
- Understanding how the Base Grade contrast and saturation sliders differ from other operators.
If all of that goes over your head, don’t worry; by the end of this Insight, you’ll understand it all!
Plus, this Insight is packed with a ton of tips and tricks to improve your grading.
Important Note – The Base Grade operator is a color-space-aware tool. This means that it is essential that the Input Color Space of your footage and the Viewing Color Space in your scene are set up correctly – if not, the Base Grade Operator may not react the way that you expect.
DaVinci Resolve Users
I encourage you to watch this Insight and think about how you might mimic some of the behaviors of the Base Grade operator in Resolve.
Question: Think about the HDR Color Wheels; how would you set them up to give you similar controls to the Dim and Light controls?
Consider: Would you use the Offset Wheels or the HDR Global controls to mimic Base Grade’s Balance controls?
