Color Correcting your Clips

Once you have edited your sequence of clips and added your vfx, you can start color
correcting. This is best begun after you have finished editing your sequence so you can
maintain a consistent look, but part of the fun of DaVinci Resolve is being able to move between
the edit, fusion and color pages to make fine adjustments and discover new creative choices.

clips. In other words adjust the 'lift', 'gamma' and 'gain' settings. This will help get your pictures
looking their brightest and best with a clean, balanced starting point from where you can begin
grading the 'look' of your film.

Using Scopes

Most colorists make creative color choices by focusing on the emotion and the look they want
their program to have and then simply work using the monitor to achieve that look. You can look
at everyday objects and how different types of light interact with them to generate ideas on
what you can do with your images and a little practice.
