DaVinci Resolve: Color Grading - simply explained

DaVinci Resolve: Color Grading

Go to the Color Grading section in DaVinci Resolve by pressing the color wheel icon at the bottom center.

On the far left you will find the "Camera RAW" section, where you can, for example, change the sharpness.
To the right is the "Color Match" function, which you can use to edit the color of the video.
With the "Color Wheels" you can edit the colors of the video. The contrast can also be changed here, for example.
The "RGB Mixer" works in a similar way, with which you can have a certain color "stand out".
Motion Effects applies various effects, such as motion blur, to the video.
To the right of this is the "Curves" section, where you have a color curve for editing the video.
In the "Qualifier" section you can filter out certain colors. This is useful, for example, with green screens.
With "Window" you can cut out a certain section of the video. Objects can also be filtered out here, for example.
You will also find the "Tracker" function, which you can use to track and edit a specific area in the video. With this function, for example, the faces of actors can be brightened.
Blur allows you to add blur to your video.
The "Key" section is also very practical for the selection of colors and screen areas.
With the "Sizing" function you can rotate or scale your video.
Finally, you can use the "3D" section for your own 3D videos.
So that the individual functions do not interfere with each other, add so-called "nodes". You can then use the functions independently of one another.

In the next practical tip, we will show you how to remove green screens at DaVinci Resolve.
