Today I'm teaching some of my favorite advanced color grading techniques in DaVinci Resolve. These techniques go beyond using the basic primaries adjustments in Resolve and help you really refine the image and bring it to life. I use these methods every day as a colorist and hope they can help you achieve the grades you're working for.
