DaVinci Resolve is the go-to tool for colorists working on Hollywood films, commercials, and corporate video. Now, with both the free and full-featured versions available, it's accessible to anyone looking for a high-quality color-grading solution for Mac or Windows.
In these tutorials, indie-feature-film and broadcast colorist Patrick Inhofer guides viewers through color grading with DaVinci Resolve and Resolve Lite 11. With emphasis placed on real-world techniques and workflows, the course will help editors and aspiring colorists edit in the timeline, perform primary and secondary color corrections, match shots from multiple cameras, create mood-rich looks, and render out movies to share with clients. Interspersed throughout the course are "lingo" movies, which will help you learn the language of colorists, and "in action" chapters, where Patrick applies the lessons learned to a real-world music video for the band Minimus the Poet.

Editing footage in Resolve
Evaluating images like a colorist
