DaVinci Resolve Colour Introduction 2 Days
Course Details
This course is for new users of Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve. It is designed for those people who wish to learn colour grading in this premium level video editing and colour grading application.
DaVinci Resolve combines professional non-linear video editing with the world’s most advanced colour corrector so now you can edit, colour correct, finish and deliver all from one system.
Course Target Audience and delegate prerequisites:
As this is a level 1 course all you will need to have are basic computer skills such as using text editors, email applications etc. and a desire to use video creatively. It may also be helpful if you have completed the Resolve Editing course prior to taking this course although this is not essential.
DaVinci Resolve is a powerful application and therefore you should ensure that you have a reasonably powerful computer that will meet the needs of the editing you wish to do after the course. This includes ideally having a quad core processor, 16G of RAM and a GPU (Graphics card with at least 1.5 – 2G of video RAM).

5/5 Stars
I thought the course provided a solid overview of the colour workflow elements of the software. Shailesh presented everything in a way that was easy to follow and was very accommodating with answering questions as they arose. I feel more confident in my knowledge of the software, the various different tools and techniques that can be used to achieve similar results and the colour grading workflow in general.

The trainer was absolutely wonderful, super helpful and knowledgeable and was tailored the course to us which I found extremely beneficial. We were able to ask questions and mould the training around our own needs, which I feel helped us get the most out of it.

Lots of info but at times trainer was too quick, could barely keep up. Will need lots f practice at home, but overall a very good introduction to the software.

Good course, quite a lot to take in for the Colour Grading vs the Editing. Colour Grading is quite complex and perhaps should focus more on the Auto Functions initially then go more to the individual colour grading.
