Baselight For Avid – Primary Corrections

Been wanting to try out Baselight for a while now but never really had the time or need – this has inspired me to give it a whirl so thanks 🙂 I saw in “that” L’Oreal breakdown by Andreas Brueckl a while back that there were like power-window/gradients that look almost like light sources (being “hotter” in the middle and radiating out) which seemed really interesting. Is that something that you are familiar with? I’d link to the video but it’s no longer online. Thanks again Dan 🙂

In fact now I’m thinking it may have been done with Scratch but I can’t remember – oops! :p

This is really useful, Dan. As a freelance Resolve user I’ve sometimes had to pass on any opportunities of working with some companies due to them being Baselight users. This gives me a starting point at getting to grips with at least the basics of it, plus I love learning new tools!

That was done in Scratch, if Im not mistaken. He has a few other tutorials online as well

Great insight, Dan! Always been wondering about Baselight. Very curious about the film grade and its method of adding contrast. If I was watching correctly, it was simply compressing the top/bottom of the curves horizontally wthout any points added ?

I think I’ll do an insight using some lovely gradients to show how the tools work. So many options to show that I think using Pat’s method would be the best!

Looking forward to it. Seems to have some unique controls that would be neat to try & emulate in Resolve

That sounds very interesting. Very curious about what some of those tools are doing to the image, especially film grade.
