Color Grade with Confidence
Using our provided project, you’ll jump right in and begin color grading a wide variety of footage. You’ll learn the best approaches for setting the tonal range and contrast for each shot using color wheels and curves. You’ll also learn how to create a shot matching strategy that will make your grading sessions more disciplined and ultimately more productive.
Make Precise Color Adjustments
Color grading often requires isolating objects in the image so they can be adjusted without affecting other parts of the image. One of the best tools for this purpose is the improved Color Warper. Mark will show you why this tool is often a better choice than an HSL qualifier because it’s more precise, allowing you to get cleaner selections with less banding and other artifacts.
Leverage AI to Grade
With Magic Mask 2 (Studio version only), elements such as faces, clothing, human bodies, and even objects can be isolated using Resolve’s Neural Engine. You’ll learn how to combine Magic Mask 2 with qualifiers for making selections that would otherwise be impossible to achieve in other grading applications.
Optimize Your Grading Workflow
Helping you work more efficiently in Resolve is a big focus of this tutorial. In this example, Mark shows you how to use Shared Nodes for linking your grades to other clips so that when you make changes to one, all other clips that share that node receive your changes.
