Class Description

Description

This comprehensive two-day training program is structured around completing a production sequence that you will own upon completion. You will progress through the entire project workflow from initial stages through final output, examining not only the technical aspects of DaVinci Resolve but also implementing professional colorist methodologies and best practices. You will retain both the completed project and selected still images, providing you with valuable reference materials for continued learning.

  • Importing XML and AAF project files from Premiere Pro and executing successful round-trip workflows
  • Conforming ProRes media in Resolve using imported XML data; troubleshooting and addressing non-matching conform issues
  • Integrating audio files in WAV format and comparing your conform against the offline reference
  • Transitioning from proxies to native RAW camera files for final grading
  • Analyzing conform versus bake methodology and evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of each approach
  • Determining the optimal approach and starting point for your comprehensive color grade
  • Implementing primary color correction. Working with three-way color corrector tools, curves, and LOG color grading
  • Developing and previewing custom looks throughout your timeline using the split-screen preview feature
  • Evaluating plugin effects and determining their role in professional colorist workflows
  • Executing advanced secondary grading, including keying techniques, window tracking, and animated adjustments
  • Integrating VFX elements and specialized visual effects into your timeline
  • Correcting audio issues and applying optical flow techniques for motion correction
