Once again, after the great success of our past editions, we announce a new edition of the color correction workshop on DaVinci Resolve. After being acquired by the company Blackmagic and that this brutally reduced the price of the software (and also released a FULLY operational free version) Resolve has become the standard for many medium-high level postproduction companies, being also the natural replacement for Apple Color in color correction with Fnal Cut Pro X. It is a program designed by colorists for colorists, not only has powerful and subtle color correction tools at different levels. It also has numerous ways to carry out quick corrections depending on the material we are working with (film, advertising, documentary, etc) and the possibility of establishing different workflows with the most popular editors (Avid, FCP, Premier) or with tapes or files (Red, Arri Raw, etc).
A little gem of color correction that is now offered for free. Let’s hope that this kind of actions serve to show that a colorist’s salary should not be based on the price of the software he/she uses, but on his/her talent and experience.
