DaVinci Resolve: Color Grading & Correction
DaVinci Resolve: Color Grading & Correction
Austin School of Film is a DaVinci Resolve Certified Training Partner for in-classroom & virtual training.
This certified course is perfect for both new and experienced editors who would like to learn DaVinci Resolve Color Correction. Our hands-on training course guides students through a series of practical exercises that teach you how to use DaVinci Resolve’s color correction tools. The workflow based lessons begin with primary tools and scopes for balancing images. Next, you’ll learn how to use secondary tools for more targeted and creative corrections so you can make your own Hollywood caliber grades!
FUN FACT: the most groundbreaking Oscar-nominated films of 2019 (including A Star is Born, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War) all used DaVinci Resolve 15 for post-production, in conjunction with other Blackmagic Design products like the URSA Mini Pro— a camera we cover in our Camera Basics course!
