Are you ready to take your DaVinci Resolve (and color correction) skills to the Next Level?

DaVinci Resolve is a mature product with a deep set of features and workflows. If you’re still new to Resolve, it can be tough to figure out how to scratch beneath the surface… or how different features inter-relate to each other. This training will round-out Resolve’s toolset and teach you how to put them together.

If you’re experienced at DaVinci Resolve then you need to break out of a rut. You probably wish Resolve had a certain feature… and not know it was added 2 versions ago! It’s okay, when we use software we tend to stick to what works – and then never go hunting for new features or workflows. That’s what training like this will help you do… get current.

Have you ever wanted to look over the shoulder of a colorist as they work?

Watch as your instructor works ‘at speed’ – without slowing down too much. By the end of this course you’ve learned all the features he’s using, now watch Patrick work. He explains WHY he’s using the tools the way he does. From working the initial Base Grade to finishing off the Look, Resolve 12 Advanced Insights is the perfect tool for helping you understand how to use Resolve to achieve your color correction goals!

Learn to color correct like a professional colorist

In Advanced Insights start moving beyond Colorist Lingo. See image evaluation, using waveform monitors, shot matching and Look creation in action. After learning Resolve’s advanced toolset you’re prepared to sit and watch over the shoulder of a color correction session.

This beginner-to-intermediate training series will progress you logically through DaVinci Resolve. As you achieve new depths of understanding, our ‘In Action’ chapters let you pause and apply your new knowledge to professionally shot footage—included as part of this training series.

Learn on the free or paid versions of Resolve

It doesn’t matter if you’re working with the paid version of DaVinci Resolve or the freely downloadable version, you can follow along. Very few features are specific to the paid version. When we talk about paid features, we explain them so free users can decide if it’s worth upgrading. But in this Advanced Insights course, we don’t shy away from using Studio-only features. They’re taught here, too.

At Mixing Light we do more that teach you the interface. We teach you workflow from image evaluation through creating the final Look.

Learn from Patrick Inhofer C.S.I.—a professional colorist with 16 years color grading experience. His specialty is long-form projects, working under tight deadlines (and tighter budgets).

Created for Professionals, by Professionals

MixingLight.com is a website created by three professional colorists. Between us we’ve had several decades of experience working with editors, directors, cinematographers, producers and their assistants.

Don’t repeat our mistakes

We make mistakes. Usually with clients sitting next to us (often with hard deadlines hanging over us). Learn techniques and workflows to avoid our mistakes and make the craft of color grading much easier to execute.

We also succeed – learn useful insights we apply every day with paying clients on professional jobs. These techniques are born out of theory but they are battle-tested and colorist-approved.

Learn to speak ‘color grading’

Having hearts of teachers, Team Mixing Light knows how to explain color grading in the language of the craft. This training is the culmination of our careers. Patrick, your teacher on this title, doesn’t hold back any tips or tricks. If he thinks some kernel of truth is essential to teach you – it gets taught.
