In today's Tutorial we're going over adding color to overcast skies in Davinci Resolve
You can do everything unless specified in the free version of Resolve.
Download Davinci Resolve for Free: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve
Additional Notes:
So one thing I forgot to put in the video is if you're having issues getting uniformity in the color application like I was having but didn't address in the third shot, you can fix that by just dropping the gain a bit on the key then make your adjustment and it should look a little more natural.
I also address in the first clip that you can generate an outside node an make adjustments to the ground and I absolutely recommend this especially if you're making large changes to the sky you'll be able to more easily match the ground and introduce some of the color you added into the sky.
I wanted the main focus of the video to be techniques and methods for getting a fairly clean key of the sky, and If you want a more in depth color changing lesson I have that here: youtube.com/watch?v=DmcV4TI0JVQ
