This Specialization is intended for filmmakers, video editors, and creative professionals seeking to develop professional color correction and grading skills. Through four courses, you will cover beginner to intermediate techniques in DaVinci Resolve, including foundational grading concepts, shot matching, cinematic looks, and insider pro tips. Taught by professional colorist Fred Trevino, this program prepares you to elevate your projects with polished, cinematic visuals that meet industry standards.
Applied Learning Project
Learners will complete hands-on projects that apply key principles of color correction and grading to real-world footage. Using DaVinci Resolve, you’ll practice fundamental grading skills, match shots across a short sequence, and experiment with cinematic traits like film grain, contrast, and light quality. By the end, you’ll create polished graded projects that demonstrate your ability to balance shots, design a consistent visual style, and export professional results. You’ll also integrate professional tips and techniques—such as HDR tools, power grades, and voice isolation—that will improve both the creative and technical quality of your work. These projects ensure you’re not just learning theory but applying the craft of color grading to authentic scenarios that mirror the challenges faced by working filmmakers and editors.
