With so many tools at your fingertips, the
creative possibilities in DaVinci Resolve 16
are endless! In addition to the creative
judgment you’ll develop as a colorist, you’ll
also need to master some fundamental
techniques. Along with stylizing the look
and being creative, you’re also responsible
for ensuring a consistency, or color
continuity for the entire project.

As a colorist, you’ll need to fix image
exposure and correct inaccurate color tints
in shots. The ability to balance exposure
and tint in shots is important because in a
single scene the shots from one camera
must match other cameras’ shots.

This lesson teaches you how to create a base
neutral grade and to balance shots. You’ll use
the primary corrector for most of this lesson
and rely on built-in scopes to check your
work. You’ll save and copy grades, so you
can quickly apply them to multiple shots.
