Color grading isn’t just about tweaking contrast and saturation. It’s a structured process with 8 essential passes that every pro follows.
In this video, I’m breaking down each pass, from primary corrections to look development, fine-tuning, and final delivery. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced grader, this will streamline your workflow and help you achieve high-end, cinematic results in DaVinci Resolve.
