NEW DaVinci Resolve 15 tutorial on color grading. Watch the crash course and elevate the look of your films in 20 minutes or less. Enjoy!

[@rotemnavon8734]

Color Grading Central how do i instal thd luts?

[@dieterpolen9169]

Thank you for your effort, you are the first person where i realy understood how the colorcorrection curves worked :)

[@colorgradingcentral]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@colorgradingcentral]

If you're on a Mac, you can drop the LUTs in: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/Davinci Resolve/LUT. If you're on a PC it's C:/ProgramData/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Support/LUT

[@markmazuzan1853]

I followed all the routines where you color graded each clip, tweaked areas, applied masks etc. Then you went to a gallery of preset LUTs which you applied to the entire group. Can you explain the difference between all the custom work you did first and the LUT application? What the LUT?

[@incubus_the_man]

I think this is probably the most straight forward tutorial I've been able to find on color grading on youtube. I like the fact that you also covered a lot of ground in short period of time. Some people will spend 10 minutes on just tweaking lift gamma and gain to match footage.

[@RumleKjaer]

Though I must say that I'm not fan of the look, this tutorial itself is amazing! Such a good job explaining the program and very good for beginners too!

[@user-ky1cf3fy6i]

Please tell me, I can't find the function, the shift of clips when transferring, taking it with the mouse, so that it doesn't cut off the clips when you want to insert a clip between clips on the timeline?

[@globaltesoro]

omg I learned so much from this tutorial. I was so intimidated by the rotoscopes and charts and instantly had it explained simply for me. Jawdropping for real. Thank you so much man!

[@MarcSueper]

Exactly what I was looking for. I’m about to switch from Premiere to Resolve and that’s exactly what I needed.

[@alexanderplk-cuocsongmy7517]

Thank you so much for the tutorial!. That's a lot of info and I need it all. I will probably go over this video many times in order to learn all.

[@MrHernandezTeaches]

This tutorial was so simple to follow. There is so much information to get my head wrapped around, but I loved the simplicity and enthusiasm here.

[@anidiotinaracingcar4874]

That's incredible. I understood 25% of it and was still amazed

[@ntt2kidd]

Great vid bro! I love how genuinely excited you are about what you're doing. I'm excitable like that so it's refreshing to see it in others. I'm brand spanking new to editing (never done it in my life) so these vids help.

[@katcart4105]

Super easy to follow along with. You have such a professional voice, looking forward to more tutorials!

[@colorgradingcentral]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@PineNg]

I am a beginner of Resolve, and this video is my first video to revisit whenever I do color correction.

[@TroyCollier]

This was by far the best video on KZbin for the beginner. I spent days trying to find things, not knowing how it worked as I came off Premiere. This was a game changer for a first timer.

[@JahStyles]

Best DaVinci walk-through I've seen so far on KZbin

[@wo000hh6]

Because of this, we won the short film contest👌. Thanks man. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@3jjffrsn]

Great explanation of the process, and helpful with navigating the workspace! Thanks!

[@mrpokerlove]

[@MsPhotographik1908AKA]

I love anything that is free and allows for better quality in videos. It gives it a unique sense

[@zickiea172]

This is one of the better explanatory videos I've seen of DR 15 and actually video editing in general. Really did a good job of explaining the colour wheel uses in clips and how to quickly colour correct and equalize clips.

[@colorgradingcentral]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@ririlan2137]

amazingly well done. Color grading explained so nicely.

[@colorgradingcentral]

[@CediesTeamVideos]

idol! kala ko ba premiere gamit mo? hehe. nandito ka sa video na to ah. nagb-browse ako ng mga da vinci resolve tutorial at nabasa ko ang comment mo hehe.

[@lachsfilet1362]

Thanks for this amazing tutorial!

[@StopmoNick]

Very good tutorial for someone just starting to edit in Da Vinci like me. Started at the right place - where to find the colour page! A couple of other tutorials started with the colour wheels already on screen, and I had no idea how to get there. (Searched the top of screen, nothing.) Then, covered more than I can take in right away, but all clearly explained and I can come back to it when I am ready for that stage.

[@Ghaleon]

I'm not a native english speaker, yet I could understand everything you said. Your 'speaking' is amazing. Thanks for this video.

[@smileyfall2672]

Thanks, very well explained tutorial. I found this helpful

[@colorgradingcentral]

I like this tutorial. It's easy to follow although more advanced video editing than what I'm familiar with.

[@colorgradingcentral]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@ThePinkSpider]

Watched this a few months back, got a few things out of it. Since I've been into this stuff, it's even more helpful now! Love it when videos don't outlive their usefullness.

[@colorgradingcentral]

So glad to hear that!

[@thecatalinstan]

Quick simple and concise. I'd been having trouble mapping the process from raw image editing to DaVinci and it just didn't port well when it should have. But this video provided the key and made it all so clear, while also giving a great hig-level look at how the workspace is organized and where everything is. Thanks a lot.

[@keithb4077]

[@colorgradingcentral]

Yes it's definitely an intuitive program once you get the basics down!

[@davidnelson3757]

Fantastic. this is an area I knew nothing about , the tutorial was helpful and has inspired me

[@AdrienneHarney]

That is really neat how you can move the clips like that. That seems to be so convenient. I like how it is broken down and seems to be so easy to use with this tutorial. It is explained very well so most people can understand how to use it.

[@colorgradingcentral]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@womenswear8317]

[@colorgradingcentral]

Glad you found it inspirational Malcolm

[@wouldbabyhitlerkillyou4217]

Awesome! I really like the workflow of this software and this tutorial was clear enough where I could even get started with color grading today, and I've never even edited video before! Subscribed! Keep up the great content!!!

[@colorgradingcentral]

Thanks John! I struggled for many years until I discovered the workflow that I use now. Now everything is eazy peazy lemon squeezy!

[@mungairhesa]

Oh my Lord!! You can preview LUTs before applying them! Thank you for this particular piece of info. The drop-down menu is a pain to use, especially if you've got a lot of LUTs installed.

[@Salah-qu4cs]

This tutorial is epic! Succinct and to the point. Thank you so much

[@alexgiovannini5837]

I started making videos about 8 months ago. it has been a very slow process, I finally feel like I know how to use a camera but found out I need to learn how to white balance and color correct. This "crash course" makes me realize that this journey is goin to take me so long to learn.

[@colorgradingcentral]

It definitely takes some practice but will totally be worth it in the end!

[@mpq1969]

Wow. I just downloaded DaVinci Resolve 15 and I've never really done any video editing before so tutorials like this, while overwhelming to a beginner like me, are absolutely appreciated. This program is so powerful that I'm sure I won't even scratch the surface of what it can do. Thank you so much for the tutorial. My brain hurts from watching all the fantastic stuff that I still need to learn

[@colorgradingcentral]

Happy to help!!

[@ModernyMarketing]

best tutorial i ever seen on video editing program

[@jacobhale808]

Excellent colour grading tutorial! Explained extremely well!

Happy to help!

[@gochannel55]

I think this tutorial is the best I have ever watched.
