Work From Home Price Reduction!!
To support creatives learning to ‘skill up’ on DaVinci Resolve, in a time of economic uncertainty, we have dropped the price of this bundle by $100!
Yes! A huge number of movies are still relevant to Resolve 16.
Plus, this Bundle has many movies teaching a color grading workflow you can follow.
(that’s why we’re still selling this Bundle!)
Coming Soon: The .pdf Course Guides will be updated to indicate which movies you can skip with Resolve 16.
Start Using DaVinci Resolve 12 Like A Pro
(on the Free or Studio versions of DaVinci Resolve 12 or DaVinci Resolve 12.5)
Do you think color correction is confusing?
Does this happen to you: You randomly make changes in color wheels and sliders—hoping (praying) for acceptable results. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. But the work you did yesterday? It looks wrong today. Grrr…
And it doesn’t matter if you’re working in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Avid or DaVinci Resolve—you keep running into the same problems. You keep making the same mistakes… time and time again.
Does DaVinci Resolve look super-complicated?
DaVinci Resolve is the world-wide leader in color correction software but at version 12 & 12.5, it has a TON of features. How do you know which are the important features you need to know now? And which features can you skip until you have a more advanced understanding?
Stop feeling un-talented.
Learn a repeatable color correction workflow, tailored to DaVinci Resolve.
Learn to color correct like a professional colorist
Embedded throughout this training are lessons on Colorist Lingo, image evaluation, using waveform monitors, shot matching and Look creation. Using unique DaVinci Resolve features you’ll learn techniques for communicating more effectively with Directors, Producers and Cinematographers.
Flow through DaVinci Resolve as a professional flows through a color correction job
This beginner-to-intermediate training series will progress you logically through DaVinci Resolve. As you achieve new depths of understanding, our ‘In Action’ chapters will 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 they need to upgrade to the paid version.
At Mixing Light we do more that teach you the interface. We teach you workflow; from image evaluation through creating the final Look.
For Editors, Directors, Cinematographers, Colorists
(and their Assistants)
Learn from Patrick Inhofer, CSI—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.

What Our Members Say About Our Color Correction Courses
Since tonight is game 7 of the World Series, I will use a baseball metaphor to describe your latest training product - DaVinci Resolve 11 Deep Insights - it is a "Walk-off Grand Slam.”
Resolve 11 Deep Insights is the perfect blend of instruction on the use of the interface/feature set and, insights as to how they are used in a real-world color grading session.
Patrick, your presentations are extremely clear and broken down into easily understandable building blocks that you carefully craft into the final deliverable.
Additionally, the production value of the entire training series was extremely high - well done gentlemen. I particularly appreciated the graphics which, I found to be very helpful in directing the eye to the appropriate part of the interface - at the appropriate part of the dialogue.
Although much of the Resolve 11 training was not new to me, it was a great opportunity to fine-tune the parts of the extremely broad Resolve feature set that I do not use on a regular basis.
Patrick, I first discovered you back in the days of Resolve 8 / In-Tents and have also purchased all of your training products to date. I have always been 100% satisfied. With your guidance/mentorship, I have learned more about the art/profession of being a colorist than I have from all of the other competing training products combined, that I have purchased elsewhere.
