This is a VERY basic color correction tutorial. A great first video for anyone who hasn't ever done color correction. Color correction basics can be confusing, but we'll keep it simple here. There are a few really easy concepts you need to get down for first steps, then you can do more advanced color grading after that!

[@derek9658]

Finally someone who explains things simply without going at lightning speed well done!!

Literally. Would take a 30 minute minute video of a chilled talker over a 5 minute video with 40 minutes of content

There's a wonderful Chinese proverb that goes something like; true wisdom is clear, simple and immediately understandable. That's exactly what you do. Thanks for this.

[@jungsfragen]

Oh man, i feel you, first adressing all the trolls and "i already knew that stuff"-type of people. I should do that more often too. Thanks for the video, a very great starting point. My CC is a mixture of luck and _no one will notice_ 😅

[@lafabricadebodas]

I am learning the basics so. I am the audience here! I am grateful.

[@bnignmusic]

fr, I really appreciate this

[@whitedragon1337]

I know this is a bit of an old video, but THANK YOU for making a "beginner" tutorial that is ACTUALLY for beginners! I tried watching at least a half dozen other "beginner" videos prior to finding this that were throwing out terms I had never even heard left and right two mins into the video. Excellent tutorial for someone who isn't trying to be a Colorist (didn't know these existed until today lol) and just wants to do simple corrections to their videos. I also loved the preemptive strike on the trolls at the beginning!

[@demondeer1904]

This level of Honest content is what youtube community craves ,, Hats Off

[@BrianWhitmerMusic]

This video is exactly what I've been needing, Casey. Thanks for making it, and I'm looking forward to seeing how many people complain that it's too basic.

[@thamammubaris4000]

I've been scratching my head going through a lot of color grading basics tutorial and none of them explained what each color wheel represents and you perfectly did and thats why you differ from the rest. keep going

[@JohnnyMadhatter8]

Hey Casey, just wanted to say keep up the great work! I absolutely love all the content you put out. Your tutorials are easy to follow and I've learned so much from you. I was a little intimidated when I first started editing, but you've made it such a fun experience and I would just like to say thank you!

[@carlocorral]

Very helpful, straight to the point, no fluff, that's how I like my teaching KZbin videos. Well done sirs (and ma'ms... of course)

[@akdshares]

I call Casey 'Davinci Professor'. He makes everything look easy to operate/edit. I never miss his tutorials. Keep up Prof. Casey

[@AleenaRaisLive]

very well explained, simple and helpful, thanks 😊

[@chillbro2275]

Yeah that was the explanation i was looking for.

[@corlissmedia2.0]

I hate being yelled at.

[@slapp.martines]

😂

[@LizParker-Samson]

Fantastic way to introduce people to colour correction - thank you for taking the time to do this. It's so clear and explains what's important, essentially, how you want your image to look and how you can start to make that happen.

[@stephenwevans]

This was exactly what I needed. As someone coming from more of a sound engineer background, color correction was quite a mystery. Now I feel like I have a better grasp of just simplest things I can do the help my videos look a lot better. Thanks!

[@lab58]

I have watched SO many videos to try and get to grips with this. You have sorted it out for me in 8 minutes. Thanks!

[@doctorjallo]

First time here and this is one of the most efficient KZbin tutorials I have seen. Thank you.

[@CaseyFaris]

Thank you!

[@TheShamansQuestion]

I second this notion about all his other vids I've seen too.

[@Reyfox1]

A great video for everyone who wants to know how to get started with color grading...

[@ANEEQHKHAN]

This video is exactly what I was looking for, not spending 2 hours on learning how I should color grade especially for a "basic" color grading tutorial. Thanks a lot Casey!

[@Guitarist33764]

Casey, Thanks for this. Again cutting through the "apparent complexities and confusions" and giving a true understanding of the basics behind what you are talking about. 2:07 on the video is pure genius.!

[@UncleDudeProductions]

"When colors aren't normal, they convey an emotion." Mind blown.

[@SuccMunkey]

I only recently started thinking of color correction just because I wanted to learn a bit more on the editing side and I didn't think that color correction would be such a simple but HUGE change. Definitely going to start using it now!

[@MangoOverthere]

Same here. I've been using Photoshop for years and always dabbled with contrast/saturation but the way he explained Lift, Gamma, Gain was life changing lol

[@davidcamarda8723]

What makes a great vid? When you walk away clearly knowing more than you did about the subject in just a few minutes without being confused. For me, this is a great vid. Thx!

[@EscalanteFilms]

I've watched a few color correcting tutorials for DR so far, and yours is certainty the easiest to comprehend and most concise. Thanks man!

[@snijders083]

My inner child: "What's this button do??" Oooh thanks Casey now we know! Great tutorial

[@redsky_1296]

I'm pretty new to Davinci Resolve so finding the undo button was very useful. I also do the click click, oh no! undo undo.

[@Diff3RentBreed]

Never been this early for any video. Loved the intro 😂😂😂

[@thememorybank2623]

I have watched this video probably 10 times over. It's a great little reminder vid whenever I haven't worked with colour for a while. Thanks kindly Casey!

[@kxpes]

Love the way You say, "If you know this or that find different video", i knew somethings about color grading, but this is best to cover such basics. Thank You

[@huyked]

3:49 - 3:52 I didn't know about double-clicking the center part to reset it. Thanks!

[@parp]

huyked I guess just click around a bit Mess around, have hun. You will probably find more things like this

[@huyked]

@@parp Yeah, you're right. I should just experiment and have fun. Thanks for the reminder.

[@blackmennewstyle]

I absolutely love Resolve, i was so impressed by the software that i instantly bought lifetime licence key, i always felt like the Adobe cloud subscription non-sense was simply a money grabber for barely few improvements over time :/ Keep it up the great job Casey

Just starting with Davinci Resolve 18 and love it. Your pace and depth are perfect for beginners. Great overview of the Color page.

[@youngsmooth8318]

Thank you for explaining in laymen's terms how things work and what they do. This is truly a tutorial. I hate watching videos of so called pros claiming to be doing a tutorial when in reality all they are doing is showing off their skills. You watch their videos seen that something was done but don't have any idea of what the hell that something was by the end of it. Appreciate the stellar video my guy.

[@AntoineLafortune]

Ultra basic...This is what I needed. To start somewhere without being overwhelmed. Tks!

[@YourDriverMike]

Really helpful! I've been stuck in basic color correction with iMovie and downloaded Resolve and love the options. Thanks!

This is genuinely the best tutorial I have seen ever, on any subject

[@seanmcgowan8501]

Brilliant, thank you, Casey. I'm a photographer moving learning video. Your channel is making my transition so much more fluid. The fact that you are able to stay on point and not drift off like so many other 'tubers truly sets you apart.

[@urbansoban2669]

This is pure gold. Thanks Casey.

[@lowsideluke]

Hey dude, just wanted to say thanks for making such concise, informative videos. It's so much nicer to watch something that's short and sharp without all the extra 'filler' that people put into their videos. Keep up the awesome work!!

Thank you so much, this tutorial was very helpful in understanding the basic approach.

[@cyrilmataga5100]

A brief and clear explanation of both color correction and color grading AND when one should do it followed by a simple introduction. A BAZILLION THANK YOUs. I truly appreciate it.👍

This was a huge help at just the right level of complexity. This helps me understand postprocessing in game development a lot better as well. Cheers!

YOU aRE A LIFE SAVERRRR. I'd been struggling for so long with colour grading tutorials but yours explained it so well. Just the basics is all l needed and you gave exactly that. Less is really more. zthank yu

[@red2lucas]

I’m learning davinci at the moment and have been watching a few different tutorials. Yours are definitely the best, at least for me. Very clear to understand, you’re a great teacher. I’m going to be a pro in no time ;)

Boy is this guy the goat at this... Making it simple and clear and best part of all.... He teaches you how to work with the program in general and what everything does, not just do specific things. Keep it up man! Love the content.

[@Matteo_the_Plague_Doctor]

I run a Magic The Gathering Channel called Impolite MTG, thus far, i've gotten away with just doing slides of cards and learning to animate them using Edit and tiptoeing into Fushion where my ancient PC allows me. Today I decided to film myself opening some cards for the first time. I opened the color page for the first time today as well and I was hit with the realization that I had ABSOLUTELY...NO...CLUE what I was doing, but then like usual, I came to youtube typed in Davinci Resolve color tutorial, and of course you had a video on it. Thank you so much Casey. your videos have really helped me grasp DA. You make the best tutorials on this platform because you explain the interface and the concepts of what the point is. You're the man!

[@ShowRyuKen]

Thank you! I've been trying to get a handle on colour correction for ages and your advice here is really helpful - it's almost like mixing lows, mids, and treble on a guitar amp!

[@dougcrawford6967]

Simple and to the point. Exactly what I was hoping for. Most grateful.

[@rdwilander]

Awsum CF. I am a total newbie and really appreciate this type of beginner video. I laughed when you smacked the " plane" to tell the viewers who are more advanced and like to crack comment on slower basic instruction videos to move on!! I watch many more detailed in depth videos even though they move way to fast as its good to see the capabilities of Resolve but these basic step by step videos really help !! Thanks again !!

[@FRSHGOST]

Ive recently started using this program and all of your videos have been a great help! Keep up the good work man.

Hey Casey...this was the first time I'm touching color correction AND Davinci...coming from a lifetime Adobe user. Man, you are awesome breaking it down how you do. Made everything seem so simple. Related it to my other design work in photoshop, made perfect sense and understanding the principals on how/why you color correct in the 1st place and that was awesome. I'm downloading Davinci right now and using you to teach me how to do all of this on a production level. Such a great experience and I'm looking forward to learning more!
