Color Grading and Correction with DaVinci Resolve

Iain Pennington –
Overall a very good introduction to Davinci Resolve. Sadly it wasn’t quite as in depth as I was hoping. I think this certainly covers introductory and some intermediate techniques for colour correction, but in terms of grading, or creating “looks”, the information is lacking a little. Still, I would recommend this course. Would be great to have a follow up, advanced/professional tutorials, introducing more techniques.
Bernard Satchell –
This is definitely not for a beginner. While he goes over a lot of topics, it moves rather quickly. I found myself rewinding frequently to follow his mouse and re-hear things. It’s more about explaining a workflow than explaining how to use Resolve. If you are familiar with the program, it should help you work more quickly.

Nice Base level Knowledge, i was expecting to get a deeper understanding of the software, like creating different layers/nodes etc. guess i have to keep looking.
Peter Mohideen –
I love it. really dense, just the way I like it, I had to watch it a couple of times, once to absorb it, once with my footage to follow along but I feel like I already have a huge palette to work with and the course isn’t even over yet. excited to practice tracking on my footage!
David Davis –
This was a excellent, entertaining and very informative presentation. Glad you didn’t provide clips as it forced me to gather some to complete the course. Even though DR is at v16 this v10 was right on…Thanks

It’s nice to learn about importing exporting source files and playing with basic color grading tools to the advanced once like qualifiers,power window etc
Ryan Little –
This is an excellent intro class into color correction and color grading. Rob explains everything clearly. He will teach you the basic tools you need to know to start trying these techniques in your own projects. Well worth the money.
Maura Corina Sulbarán Rivadeiro –
Excellent course to go from knowing almost nothing to knowing enough to start practicing by revisiting some lessons. Just what I was looking for.
Rodrigo Macías –
It’s actually a good course if you need to learn how to use the tools in a hurry, like in my case.
The explanations are good and straight to the point. How ever, the content it’s a little bit dated now, and I think it could dive more in some of the advanced functions.
A good course overall.
Boy Kollée –
Pretty superficial and I miss source files.
Ata Cem Ertuğrul –
It’s true that it adds a lot of skills and techniques still in 2021, but there are lots of unnecessary info about how to use DaVinci Resolve. The course is about color grading not about how to use Davinci Resolve.
Brian Baldwin –
So, this is a really good introduction to color grading/correction. It’s to the point, in simple to understand language, and it doesn’t take long to get through the material.
I am satisfied with the lesson, but it could use a little bolstering. If there was an exercise to do with some stock footage or something to help hammer the lessons in, I’d give this five stars.
This isn’t a deep dive (and I don’t think it’s meant to be), so it is good for what it is. I’d recommend this to someone that’s just starting to learn editing and is wanting to step up quality, but this is just the beginning!
