Creating Color Looks & Grades in DaVinci Resolve is a focused color grading training session from Film Editing Pro that explores how to analyze, build, and apply cinematic color looks in DaVinci Resolve. The course is taught by Leon Barnard, a Certified DaVinci Resolve Trainer, and is presented as a recording of an approximately three-hour live training session.

Rather than focusing only on software controls, the training explores the thinking behind a “look”: what creates the visual identity of a film, how Hollywood looks can be analyzed, and how a proper node structure can be used to develop your own grades.
