Davinci resolve/ art & science of grading

[sbmotiondesign 0]

Hoping to get some advice on where to start with grading using Davinci resolve. There are a ton of tutorials online, but looking for something that people with a little more experience with grading might recommend. Less button pushing more theory, but still using resolve.

 

Thanks!

This book is extremely technical and in depth, while being completely agnostic to software. I highly recommend it.

Alexis Van Hurkman also wrote the DaVinci Resolve 11 User Manual, so when it does come time to press buttons, it's well worth a read.

The FXPHD stuff is pretty great. I really liked their resolve quickstart. A good mix of theory and basics of the app.Worked as advertised for me got me up to speed and grading in resolve quickly.

 

And I second the Color Correction handbook recommendation, solid reference.
