Color Correction in DaVinci Resolve: A Walkthrough

[@BandH]

What are your questions about color correcting?

[@JayGarcon]

Just here ready to learn

[@DerpyPeace]

Are you applying these color grades to the beginning of the clip timeline and in turn it carries forward to the full length of the clip?

[@robw2429]

Are you applying color management to this?

[@mdindestin]

Excellent tutorial. Would like to see him color correct, not grade, 8 and or 16mm digitized film footage. Millions of us have old home movies we inherited that need help. Also, add sharpening and noise reduction to the mix.

[@SoJesusChristMusic]

I want to color correct the icecream truck in the background

[@zazyczech]

This content I tried to find more than one year.... Many people said, you can learn color corrections on YT, but where? Many tutorials teach how to make "cinematic" look and have hundred thousands views but can't explain the basics in understandable way. And this is it! How make basic color correction with reading the analytics! You've saved my content creator life!

[@BandH]

We're happy to hear that you found this helpful!

[@thereds32]

Same here, basic explained very well

[@tomiwaibiwoye]

Same here as well. He did it in under 20 minutes.

[@ChristophIsbjorn]

BLESS YOU! This tutorial makes the most sense out of many of the Resolve tutorials I've seen.

[@peterosborne5471]

Brilliant Sir! For someone that hasn't a clue what the heck he's doing, you've changed everything! Easy to understand and follow and not scary at all.😁 Perfect!

[@nobbyse16]

Watched so many videos on colouring, but this is by far and away the most informative and easy to follow. Thank you so much Dean 👍

[@BandH]

Glad this was helpful for you!

[@MikeGolfsOregon]

On the one hand, YES!!! Simple and easy to follow tutorial on something I've wanted to start doing but haven't been able to figure out. On the other hand, NOOO!!! Hours added to my "simple" KZbin video projects. Thank you regardless!

[@danandershaggblom6879]

Now I finally got it!!! This is the best color correction video I have seen!!! Now I really understand the wheels, you have to watch the video many times if you are a beginner, like me. Congrats for a state of the art video!

[@SusanneLayton]

Dean, thank you so much. I shall now be watching all of your tutorials. You are just excellent!

[@sanjayabati9727]

ahh finally i found it !!! the most basic things before doing things about color grading.

[@Alex-cv2mz]

I dreaded working with nodes before watching this video, so now I've learned some color correction basics and become more confident with using nodes.

[@BandH]

And that's why we're here to help you face your fears.

[@Alex-cv2mz]

@@BandH Thank you!

[@joey.4149]

Recently began filming and editing - made the unfortunate mistake of filming my video blue (pretty much the same blue shown in the WB correction portion of the video) and this tutorial saved my video literally - just wanted to say thanks!

[@emilyctaylor]

Thank you! So helpful and easy to understand.

[@BandH]

Glad it was helpful for you!

[@joshuamoody9508]

Thank you so much bro, insanely helpful video that is easy to understand and isn't 2 hours long, shows you absolutely everything you need to know and more. Amazing content

[@NickB_Yorkshire]

Brilliant video - I've been using DaVinci for about a year now, but always gone for the 'well, it sort of looks alright' approach by tweaking the wheels a bit so that it looks right on screen. I've just followed your video and used the waveform and vectorscope adjustments and nodes on my latest video and wow, what a difference. It's turned out far better than I could have imagined. Thank you so much for the tips 😊👍

[@PlayBetterJazz]

First time Davinci user tonight and this was immensely helpful. Thanks!

[@BandH]

Great to hear!

[@StarAccount-km1rt]

Fantastic instruction! Thanks. I took pages of notes.I can now grade with confidence.

[@maranathaafrica]

Thank you, it was simple and easy.

[@whereverimayroam74]

Awesome tutorial! The difference in my footage is night and day. Thanks!

[@DinghySailorSteve]

Thanks for sharing your process. As a beginner its great to have a logical workflow to follow for color correction. Thanks!

[@asphaltandtacos]

I have never considered using the vector scope to white balance the shadows, mid tones and highlights individually. I was using custom curves but your method is very helpful.

[@MiguelY22]

Shout out to Davinci Resolve for being free to use 👍👍🙂

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

For real. All the paid features thankfully are useless to me. I just stitch videos and use color-correction!

[@Elias-n5y]

Thank you B&H part of my KZbin University journey 🤓🧑‍🏫

[@BandH]

That’s what we’re here for 🎓

[@nlmnyc]

After watching so many tutorials…this one was sooo good! The only thing I wish you would have covered was if there was a way to bring down the brightness on people’s faces without affecting the background as much…if there is a way. Gonna scan your channel for an advanced workflow.

[@MichaelJohnson-composer]

Great tutorial. But how did you bring the second clip into the colorization window? I can't seem to figure out how to get a clip from my media library to the window without dragging it into the timeline. Thanks in advance!

[@FuegoPazzo]

Thanks Dean , I'd never tackled the vectorscope before, it always looked intimidating.

[@MarR-fs5fy]

i look forward to watching the rest of this but just wanted to point out that my version of davinci doesn't have waveform showing as a default, it seems. might want to explain how to access that if you do any future videos! ok now to google how to show that and then i'm excited to watch the rest, thanks!

[@PhilGarrison]

This is so helpful. Thank you!

[@bebbization]

Nice, it worked pretty nicely!!

[@poligraph666]

Awesome guide, thank you

[@uyanwunechekwube5563]

i wish i could give you a 100K likes for this tutorial, so good

[@ZenfulHaze]

Thank you so much!

[@dixter1652]

have you ever tested the white balance dropper just to see how close it comes to your results ???

[@miss.megalodon]

soooooo helpful, thank you!!!!!!

[@KristofskiKabuki]

This is good, but every time I try using the vectorscope for colour grading like people say you should my image always ends up looking super blue... Is there a mistake with my settings or something?

[@EricVellekoop]

@0:30 Triviiiiiiiiiiaaa, dude!!

[@HISPEKK]

Well explained thanks

[@epic_potatoman]

Hi, may I ask why I should separate the nodes? Why can't I grade it all in one?

[@lucaMMXI]

How do you bring up the 4-wheel color correction wheels at minute 2:00?

[@martmarieschoeman]

Thank you!! For the first I get it ...

[@MyPortugueseCulture]

Awesome!

[@MegaPiatro]

Where did you get your glasses from? That’s the only info left out from the lesson 😭

[@nicolsd4413]

Thank you!

[@IiILoVeMe15]

for the vingette when i go to window and click the circle , it wont come upon the video?

[@IiILoVeMe15]

thank you

[@Z9media]

at 16:00 turn up volume for ice cream truck JAMZ

[@ChedCheatham]

Love it

[@JohnChandlerEdmonton]

How did you make the titles that said "old fashioned way"?

[@ggivensjr]

Wave Form, looks like a histogram on xy bar graph?

[@genesect98]

the intro reminds me of the footage of the Megacorp scientists in ratchet and clank 🤣

[@AugustaDrone]

Where do you find the waveforms??

[@safwanfallatah8611]

what lens was used on 0:32 ?

[@childofardour3200]

Why di you never use "offset"?

[@mr-ladi617]

The whole problem in color correction is the monitor. You have to learn and trust scopes

[@aidanoliver8209]

Why is my waveform super colourful and wide?

[@isaacnamias2655]

Same question- his is an easy to read white line, mine is 4-5 colors with haze all over the place

[@koflan]

We'll use the waveform. Wait come back. Joke landed. Anyway waveform is the brightnesses.

[@bryan192]

9:20

[@SoJesusChristMusic]

Did anyone hear the icecream truck 😋

[@matiquielma]

30 seconds in and im already lost you dont even say how to open waveforms

[@alexandersupertramp1041]

Thank You so much Guys I literally Felt what you talked about in the beginning of the video......I've Learned so much while watching videos I will start My First Colour Grading Now, Thank You on behalf of All The Noobs🫂
