Course description
Davinci Resolve: Zero to Hero
Learn the color correction and grading using Divinci Resolve. This hands on training course will teach you the key tools & the colour correction & grading process.
Learn the rules and process of Colour Correction, how to read scopes and use them to analyse and fix shots. How to use qualifiers and masks to do secondary correction and build grades. How to track elements in a shot, and how to colour correct over a sequence. And how to save and apply grades over a sequence.
We look at grading techniques that focus on preserving the quality of the original colour data of the footage this will be accomplished through carefully constructed node workflows and correctly set up RAW projects. Grading styles and looks will be designed using a variety of advanced grading palettes in Resolve, together with the Resolve FX panel and group-based workflows. The session will end on developing a good understanding of delivery formats and workflows. This course is an ideal follow up to Color Grading in DaVinci Resolve 14 or Editing in DaVinci Resolve 14 but it is open to any colorist with hands-on experience.
