In today's video we're going over Custom Curves in Davinci Resolve 16. Everything shown today can be done in the free version of resolve.

Notes:
I personally find the curves are often overlooked as it's a more abstract concept to grab than turning dials. I totally get that, however understanding curves can make them a great tool in your toolbox. In addition to simple exposure control we dive into addressing color casts, designing looks, and more.

I should note that I didn't included vs curves in today's video to avoid information overload and they are very useful in their own right. Also my apologies for all the incorrect words in the video (I believe I caught everything and tried to clarify in the on screen notes) We've been going through a heatwave and I can't seem to get my words right lately.
