Primary adjustments let you work on the
entire image, whereas secondary
adjustments let you isolate and work
on specific parts of an image.
For example, you might want to change the
color of a car from blue to red without
affecting the rest of the shot, or add warmth
and saturation to an actor’s skin, or create
a vignette to help focus the viewer’s
attention in a specific area of the scene.
DaVinci Resolve features many powerful
tools to do this.
In this lesson, you will use HSL Curves
and qualifiers to isolate elements based on
their color, as well as apply basic spline
shapes to isolate areas of your frame. Then,
you will use the tracker to follow a moving
element and grade it as it moves
throughout the scene.
