Great class. I had to take it in bits, you can't just do it in one week. You can, but it needs practice. I finished the class over the course of 1 year and all the everyday practice helped me understand some of the ideas more. But it's so packed with concepts, that I can easily go back in a year and revisit some of the classes to draw inspiration for new projects.

I tinkered with Resolve for few years. Most of my knowledge was acquired on YouTube and was pretty fragmented. This helped me to connect the dots and considerably advanced my understanding of processes behind color grading.

Great instructional videos that are quick and easy to follow. I keep coming back after 2 years to brush up on things I have forgotten. A must have course for anyone needing to move their grading to the next level!

I am looking for more pro tutorial from your side

un corso facile e completo che ti segue passo a passo attraverso tutti gli strumenti di base di DaVinci. Inoltre Denver da ottimi consigli per quanto riguarda il metodo di lavoro (cosa molto molto interessante)

This is really a great course! Such a wonderful investment. Module 1 was so in-depth, I'm really excited and curious to see what's deeper down the rabbit hole in Module 2.

Denver Riddle explains clearly and objectively the techniques for achieving good color grading development at Davinci Resolve. I definitely recommend this training to anyone who wants to become a professional colorist.

the cool thing is the courses is very easy and helpful too , also its devided perfectly

I'm so happy with the result! thank you.

Every single concepts explained nicely. Also, the explanation of why something is done in particular way helps a lot to master the concept. If you follow along with exercise files, nothing in the world can stop you from becoming expert/pro colorist. Denver is highly knowledgeable and he really mastered both theory as well as practical. His explanation style is really good for variety of audience whether it's absolute beginners, intermediate or experienced colorist. His voice is crisp and clear and editing as well as breakdown of the concept is phenomenal. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the course I can say for sure that I've learned a lot from the course. Now I know before hand what wheels of sliders to move to get the expected results. No nonsense content absolutely to the point. Absolute value for money. Thank you.

Good Stuff in all of the Modules, Especially Module 4 that gives much needed theory behind the what's and why's of Colors. There are also several refences to books of note that need to be added to every colorist Library.

I came to this as a photographer, mainly for the material that ended up getting covered in module 4. But I ended up learning a lot along the way; this was a great way to learn DaVinci Resolve for all purposes! Many thanks! Would love to continue an even deeper dive into the type of material covered in module 4.

I have enrolled into a number of paid resolve courses and I must say this course has demystified DR for me in a very big way. my level of comfortability in using this platform has been bolstered by the comprehensiveness of the instructor' dissection of the basic components of what makes DR such an awesome Buy. I wish I hadn't waited so long to start this course.

Great course! Denver's lighthearted and easy-going approach made taking this course much easier to digest. My confidence in my color grading skills has never been higher.

I have found the course very useful and I have learned a lot. I think I will need to go over some parts again to get a full understanding. I am a new amateur (wishful) film maker after several years of still professional work. When I was about to leave school I wanted to be a movie cinema photographer but there were no opportunities in Australia at that time. Now at the age of 75 I have taken up the challenge and have bought a Panasonic Eva 1. It is a steep learning curve but I am retired and have the time (but still not enough).

Another fantastic course from Denver. In this course you learn the tools that can take you to the next level.

This has been fabulous. I've learned a lot! Thanks!

If you're looking to up your game in colour grading, I recommend this course 100%. It's worth every penny because the lessons are structured well, you get to exercise the techniques using the footage provided and at the end, you will have a good understanding of how to tackle any grading project. Thank you, Denver, for your time and effort putting this course together. I've enjoyed it thoroughly.

I really enjoyed the course. I think it is an excellent intro into the tools and shows a great range of uses of Resolve. I found, as Denver suggests throughout the course, that the best way to follow along is to pause often and apply the techniques every step of the way with the provided exercise files. Denver goes quick and if you are not careful you can get lulled into thinking you understand without actually getting it. Having just completed the course, I feel that there should be another module with homework and review. It would be awesome if, similar to the last section of module 3, we were given a whole scene to take from base grade to final look and if we were challenged to present three looks. Maybe Orange/Teal, Wes Anderson, and Breaking Bad. I might do this anyway with some of the spots I've directed and edited and share them with Denver to see what he thinks. I'd also be interested in a deep dive into OpenFX, which is barely touched on in the course. Finally, I'd love a course where Denver grades a scene or a commercial and tells us all of the thinking that goes into it. Ideally, it would be a real assignment and one that he didn't have time to think through before seeing the footage. This would show a master colorist's instincts and working process in real time and give us students a preview of what our colorist minds could become. THANKS DENVER!

This course is an epic bible of colour grading. Not only in resolve but I can grade pretty much in any NLE after learning the best of the best techniques and great workflow.

This course takes you through the nuts and bolts of colour Grading in resolve with practical examples, great footages and full-colour workflow for everybody. Furthermore, there is a section which takes you through all the pages in resolve for you to have a comprehensive approach to Davinci resolve 16.

Amazing course! It really drives you from the basics to be a pro. Of course you need to make exercises and grow with every gig, but this course gives you everything you need to start the profession as colorist. I made it twice and I loved it!

This is a comprehensive course covering every single and detailed function and techniques available to use in DaVinci Resolve. As a cinematographer, this professional course has complemented my expertise in image design allowing me to foresee the pictorial characteristics and effects of the scenes while filming. And, of course, adding the ability to color grade my film projects. The way Denver teaches each subject in this course made me feel that he really wanted to make sure I understood him very well before going to the next step. And the exercise files provided are a great plus to put us on a high end work situation.

Good course material and very good explanation. only i was finiding it a little disappointing when i couldnt find the 'LogtoRec709' LUT and the umpteen options in the 'Ascend' at all on my davinci software. Any tips on how do i load that to my set up will be appreciated. thanks. truly enjoyed the tutorials. looking forward for the next modules. thanks

It was so helpfull in terms of how to grade in a right track of work to get the best result from your footage.

IN-DEPTH, EASY TO FELLOW, EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED.

Thanks so much Denver for such a great course. Having had little to no real experience using Davinci Resolve or even technical grading knowledge, your academy has taught me all the ins and outs and now I feel as though I have what it takes to be able to grade footage professionally. Will highly recommend!!

It was really helpful at this level .. Thanks man! moving to the next one ;)

I Had a blast Learning how to color grade.

I have been using DaVinci Resolve full time for two years. Admittedly the program is daunting. Through this course I learned the overall structure of DaVinci Resolve. I was able to navigate the program successfully and confidently. But with this program does best is takes you deeper into color grading. It allows you to get the most beautifully colored images from your camera. Denver is a phenomenal instructor, with loads of examples and a path that is clear and easy to follow. I'm so thankful I found this course and have already begun recommending it to friends and colleagues.

Before this course I was a fish out of water when it came to color correcting and grading. It was such a frustrating feeling trying to achieve a look only to find that when I attempted to grade, my image was much worse than when I started. I have spent days trying to match footage in the past with garbage results. Watch all the youtube videos you want, it will never compare to this course. Extremely well put together and organized. Zero experience needed and although I still need practice to perfect my color skills, the knowledge and foundation is there. I have so much more confidence in my ability to properly correct and grade after completing this course. Not only that, I believe I am a better cinematographer because I can take what I have learned here and apply it when planning and capturing my shots. I seriously can't say enough good things about it. Thank you so much!

I look forward to module 2

I spent a lot of time looking for these information and they're based on Denver's experience which is incredible.

Good and very exhaustive

Very interesting. I learned a right workflow and a correct approach to color grading!

Definitely well worth the money just on cutting through youtuber training videos that 'assume' a certain level of experience or understanding. Looking forward to Module 2!

I bought this course a year or so ago and have been putting it off due to being busy, and instead I've been learning by doing. I finally had some time to get into the course proper this week and I'm quite annoyed at myself. The time I would have saved with some of these techniques would have made it well worth it to start the course earlier. There's some great stuff in Module 1 and Denver delivers it in a clear, easy to understand way. I'd write more, but I'm off to start Module 2. Happy customer here!

I think that module one was great it definitely showed me alot of things that I didnt even know i could do but it was an eye opener to see all the tricks and tools.

Denver opens the door, you just need to step in and practise. Brilliant.

I had done a bunch of online tutorials before this one, and was fairly familiar with Resolve as a piece of software. I took a risk on this class, hoping there would be enough new material to help me take my skills to the next level, and my expectations were exceeded right off the bat. Even the first few videos had tidbits I had missed from other tutorials, and from there things only got better. What I love about this class is that it really emphasizes "why" and "when" to use each tool, not just the how. There's also a lot more detail about the creative aspects of color grading, which is important. All in all, this was a great investment for me.

Love it, Although I need to do a fair bit of practice, this is beginning to make sense and already my edits are looking better

I have gone through the course and I must admit there is value addition.

WOW! Thank you Denver for putting together such a detailed course, that is clear and easy to understand. You have done what you claimed, which was to demystify color grading and turn it into a useful, powerful tool that I can use on my own projects and anything I am hired to do. It has taken quite a bit of time, as you have given so many great tutorials, but I know it is time well spent. I am constantly amazed with what Resolve can do and thank you again for helping me to harness the power of this filmmaking tool!

This is an invaluable tutorial for those who want to reach the next level in video or film editing. You'll often want to pause the video to do what Denver shows us. It's also easier with a double monitor setup so you don't have to minimize 1 window - you can just mouse over to the next screen. Surprising videos I did not expect but which add tons of value to this series are: Setting up a studio for accurate color grading; Color theory and how it applies to film; Various "looks" of famous films and how to create them. In Module 3, there's an intense section at the end where you go through a project from start to finish - this is a good example of the process you should go through.

I've done this course before I knew anything about color grading. As a beginning filmmaker, I understood that color correcting and grading are such an important part of how my footage will end up looking like, and didn't know where to start. All the softwares looked intimidating to me (DaVinci and Premiere) and wasn't sure what's the proper workflow. Denver's course is super inviting and user friendly. I understood everything and loved how he broke it down to small clips that are not too long yet right to the point and extensive in content. I keep going back to the lessons every now and then as I practice what he taught. I love it that there's a lifetime access to the course. Also, the Color Grading Academy keeps adding more innovative things and keeps me up to date. After doing the DaVinci course I found myself also using Premiere Pro and Denver's explanations on DV were so clear that I easily took the principles he taught and used them in Pr as well. I would definitely recommend doing this course. I loved it!

Super amazing training!

Denver has really been able to translate complex stuff into something fun to learn! Now I know it's possible to master the skills for becoming an outstanding colorist! Thanks Denver!

It is definitely a great course. It is very detailed and with very good visual references. A great starting point for a career as a colorist. Julio Vidarte

If you were like me watching tutorials on YouTube here and there, you will learn color grading but you won't get far. If you are trying to become a professional colorist, then Invest in ALL his courses. Though I also purchased tutorials from other sites which were also very helpful but the knowledge and information Denver shares through his courses is very valuable and will help unified your workflow and help you in your career... If you learn his method of teaching which is incredibly intuitive, not only will you get some AMAZING results, it will set you apart from others...
