Resolve Color Management EASY - BEGINNERS in under 15 minutes.

This is how all tutorials should be done. No waffling, no intro clip and no begging at the beginning.

Thanks for making this video, this is exactly what I was looking for when I started using Resolve 6 months ago, I couldn't find much on it so had to teach myself. Hopefully this will be very helpful for anyone starting out today.

Great explanation in simple to understand language. Seeing the couple of different ways to tackle the same thing and the benefits/drawbacks to each is a huge help.

This immediately helped me, someone who is nowhere near understanding of the color page, get my footage looking much better and matching well across my cameras! I was always concerned about taking different cameras on a shoot, and did so for a wedding gig a bit ago. Thankfully someone else was in charge of the editing for that gig, but I'm going back through it now for practice, and getting my images to match between the A and B cam was getting to me. This has gotten them looking much closer to each other. I will definitely be going through your other videos to see what else I can learn!

Darren, you are a great educator. You explain the concepts so well. You go to true in depth details. I love your tutorials. Request: Struggling to apply cinematic Rec709 luts on 8 bit HLG3/BT2020 clips converted to Rec709 timeline they DaVinci managed color workflow. The colors and brightness contrast simply falls apart the LUT is for Rec709 clip though (not log gamma). Any practical tutorial on how to apply cinematic Rec709 LUT on 8 bit footage is highly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for an awesome beginners explanation. Even though I know most of the color management things I still enjoy watching even your basic videos as there is often something i've learned in the past from you. So thank you. I would champion my support if you do more advanced videos in any capacity!! Thanks Darren!

Thanks for this video, Chris. There are so many videos out there that don’t accurately describe what’s going on, leading people just getting into DaVinci astray. You’re doing fantastic work, thanks a bunch

Darren, this is so spot on. Although I've been using DVR for a while, this is the best explaination I've seen. No faf and drama. Simple but good teaching.

Thanks for this! Another super helpful bit of clarification. If you do do a follow-up, be great to see the correct way to apply the DR Film Looks when using colour management.

Wow!!! I've watch this Color Management video, the Grading A7SIII video, and a couple of others. I've learned so much. Hands down, this is the best DaVinci Resolve channel.

Big thanks for the explanation! I'm just starting with Resolve and this was very helpful! Cheers!

As an absolute beginner, your videos have been an incredible resource and eye opener. There are so many videos that do all this manually, from what feels like dated experience rather than trusting the science and new technology that Resolve brings to the table.

Thanks mate , I am new to resolve after moving over from Adobe and have been struggling with davinci with my grading but now having watched your video. Life in Davinci has become enjoyable and so much a easier. Your tutorial are the most easy to understand and are the most comprehensive. Thanks you very much , truly appreciated 👍

This was awesome Darren, thanks! Can’t wait for your intermediate part 2 where you’ll talk about which adjustments are best before/after the CST node and why! =). Keep it up, I watch all your stuff even when it’s things I know!

Great simple and fast explanation. Love that you compared it to the manual CST approach. Davinci Colour managed is a great tool for certain projects particularly fast turn arounds . Awesome we have that ability in there. Personally I use Node based CST’s to manage my colour space with grouping purely to have control but multiple cameras can get tricky.

I really appreciate you for this. I'm beginning to understand Resolve and this has helped me see my mistakes in colour management. I really never understood colour management until this video. Thank you .

Another great video, Darren. I have done countless presentations over the years and attended/listen to countless presentations on a wide range of topics (video/photography and others). I am continually amazed how well you explain often complex concepts by breaking them down to a level everyone can understand. I now understand Resolve color management better than ever before. Thank you.

Man I just keep getting more amazed at how much of a powerhouse DaVinci is, and you did a really good job cutting to the chase here. Nicely done! I recently found out from my eye doctor that I’m mildly red color deficient, so there are certain shades of red and green that my eyes struggle with. My boss at work would tell me that sometimes my subject’s face would have a green hue to it after I did some coloring on it, and this workflow seems to really help me get my colors more accurate (and I’m paying closer attention to my vectorscope). My boss tells me my colors are looking better lately too. So kind of an odd question here. Have you ever worked with someone who may deal with any certain levels of color blindness? If so are there any other methods/tips you could give them?

As an absolute newb: thank you! I'm struggling with starting a YT channel and no-nonsense tutorials like these are saving my sanity. Gracias!

It's a great day when I see a new video from you Darren! Thanks for this great explanation. :)
