If you found the crash course useful and enjoyed Denver’s style of presentation then you should definitely check out his free 1 hour online workshop called How To Grade Like a Hollywood Colorist, in which you can also grab a download link to some unique free LUTS, ask him questions and a whole lot more. In the meat of the tutorial Denver also demonstrates how to create a specific look (which you can download as free LUT), create isolated secondary corrections using tracked Power Windows, addressing client requests across multiple shots using shared nodes and much more. If you’re fairly new to colour grading, this will be 20 minutes well spent as Denver covers key terminology, how to use video scopes (which is often a sizeable hurdle for new colorists) as well as his preferred colour correction workflow, or order of operations to match all of your shots within a sequence. In this free 20 minute crash course on DaVinci Resolve 15, colorist Denver Riddle gives you a pacy introduction to colour grading in Resolve.
