There's a wonderful Chinese proverb that goes something like; true wisdom is clear, simple and immediately understandable. That's exactly what you do. Thanks for this.
I know this is a bit of an old video, but THANK YOU for making a "beginner" tutorial that is ACTUALLY for beginners! I tried watching at least a half dozen other "beginner" videos prior to finding this that were throwing out terms I had never even heard left and right two mins into the video. Excellent tutorial for someone who isn't trying to be a Colorist (didn't know these existed until today lol) and just wants to do simple corrections to their videos. I also loved the preemptive strike on the trolls at the beginning!
Oh man, i feel you, first adressing all the trolls and "i already knew that stuff"-type of people. I should do that more often too. Thanks for the video, a very great starting point. My CC is a mixture of luck and _no one will notice_ 😅
I've been scratching my head going through a lot of color grading basics tutorial and none of them explained what each color wheel represents and you perfectly did and thats why you differ from the rest. keep going
This video is exactly what I've been needing, Casey. Thanks for making it, and I'm looking forward to seeing how many people complain that it's too basic.
Thank you for making this video! Colour grading is something that I struggle to wrap my mind around, and so I found this barebones basic baseline knowledge type of video to be very helpful!
Thank you for explaining in laymen's terms how things work and what they do. This is truly a tutorial. I hate watching videos of so called pros claiming to be doing a tutorial when in reality all they are doing is showing off their skills. You watch their videos seen that something was done but don't have any idea of what the hell that something was by the end of it. Appreciate the stellar video my guy.
Casey, Thanks for this. Again cutting through the "apparent complexities and confusions" and giving a true understanding of the basics behind what you are talking about. 2:07 on the video is pure genius.!
Hey Casey, just wanted to say keep up the great work! I absolutely love all the content you put out. Your tutorials are easy to follow and I've learned so much from you. I was a little intimidated when I first started editing, but you've made it such a fun experience and I would just like to say thank you!
What makes a great vid? When you walk away clearly knowing more than you did about the subject in just a few minutes without being confused. For me, this is a great vid. Thx!
Fantastic way to introduce people to colour correction - thank you for taking the time to do this. It's so clear and explains what's important, essentially, how you want your image to look and how you can start to make that happen.
I run a Magic The Gathering Channel called Impolite MTG, thus far, i've gotten away with just doing slides of cards and learning to animate them using Edit and tiptoeing into Fushion where my ancient PC allows me. Today I decided to film myself opening some cards for the first time. I opened the color page for the first time today as well and I was hit with the realization that I had ABSOLUTELY...NO...CLUE what I was doing, but then like usual, I came to youtube typed in Davinci Resolve color tutorial, and of course you had a video on it. Thank you so much Casey. your videos have really helped me grasp DA. You make the best tutorials on this platform because you explain the interface and the concepts of what the point is. You're the man!
Boy is this guy the goat at this... Making it simple and clear and best part of all.... He teaches you how to work with the program in general and what everything does, not just do specific things. Keep it up man! Love the content.
I love that I can put one of your videos on and give it a like within 60 seconds just because you give me a chuckle and I learn something. Keep up the quality - stuff :)
I absolutely love Resolve, i was so impressed by the software that i instantly bought lifetime licence key, i always felt like the Adobe cloud subscription non-sense was simply a money grabber for barely few improvements over time :/ Keep it up the great job Casey
Awsum CF. I am a total newbie and really appreciate this type of beginner video. I laughed when you smacked the " plane" to tell the viewers who are more advanced and like to crack comment on slower basic instruction videos to move on!! I watch many more detailed in depth videos even though they move way to fast as its good to see the capabilities of Resolve but these basic step by step videos really help !! Thanks again !!
I luv yuu so much. I started stressing because other color correction tutorials practically just started speaking an other language 2mins into the video. Absolutely great video
Rummaging through several video tutorials trying to look for the most simple and basic explanation tutorial for Davinci Resolve color tab. Your video is exactly what needed. Thank you so much!
As someone who just switched to resolve from premiere after 20 years, this was so helpful. It is crazy how set in our ways we can get and a new UI can be confusing at first. I still am learning nodes and all the tips and tricks in Resolve. Thank you helping me in this case.
I have watched this video probably 10 times over. It's a great little reminder vid whenever I haven't worked with colour for a while. Thanks kindly Casey!
This video is exactly what I was looking for, not spending 2 hours on learning how I should color grade especially for a "basic" color grading tutorial. Thanks a lot Casey!
Hey Casey...this was the first time I'm touching color correction AND Davinci...coming from a lifetime Adobe user. Man, you are awesome breaking it down how you do. Made everything seem so simple. Related it to my other design work in photoshop, made perfect sense and understanding the principals on how/why you color correct in the 1st place and that was awesome. I'm downloading Davinci right now and using you to teach me how to do all of this on a production level. Such a great experience and I'm looking forward to learning more!
I'm a self-taught 3D Artist .. and this is the first time in my entire life i started to understand the power and importance of color correction process .. thank you so much Casey .. and here's a subscribe so i can learn more 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Previously, I have been a bit overwhelmed at the idea of colour grading, as I have always looked at tutorials designed for folks who already know something. After seeing this, I suddenly feel I might just cope. You are a star. Many thanks.
Holy cow....now I know exactly what the color wheels do now....for the life of me i did not understand...and then you come along and explain them in a way that no one else has. FFS you need to make more videos. Do 1 for "basic color correction" (you did this one) 2. intermediate color correction and 3. advanced color correction. you just won a subscriber.
Perfect video for beginners. I'm a photographer color grading my first video. I went in and just adjusted the things I understood: shadows, highlights, tempurature, contrast... it wasn't as effective as I hoped and I ended up with weird green lines across some of my footage. Then I watch one video where he was talking about file formats and layers, but not explaining the basics. I need to quickly get video out for a small non profit so they can do some fundraising for a 4WD vehicle to deliver aid to Ukrainians in villages that are hard to reach due to bombed out roads. I don't need advanced cinematic color grading, I just need quick corrections. This video is perfect. Thanks!
This was exactly what I needed. As someone coming from more of a sound engineer background, color correction was quite a mystery. Now I feel like I have a better grasp of just simplest things I can do the help my videos look a lot better. Thanks!
Very helpful. Watched several other videos on color grading in Resolve before this one and while each was somewhat helpful, they uniformly glossed over a lot of the basics for those of us who have never done it. You explain things intelligently without coming across as condescending. It's a fine line and you seem to do it well.
Dude, I am just getting to learn DaVinci and from your collaboration with Kevin Stratvert on "DaVinci Resolve 18 - Full Tutorial for Beginners" I had to view this. I laughed so hard on your intro. You are too funny. Thanks for this video, it was extremely helpful to this newbie - I am one who really needed it.
It is my fifth time watching this video to remind me what the Color Grading is about. Definitely worth my while. Definitely where I tell people who wants to know the basic of it to watch.
Love the way You say, "If you know this or that find different video", i knew somethings about color grading, but this is best to cover such basics. Thank You
Fantastic Lesson mate. I can't believe the amount of people that are crap at teaching others for example I've been soo frustrated not knowing what Lift and Gain mean which no one tells me what it actually does to the image. and I'm like... "yeahhhh I can see change but what is it actually doing?!!" fantastic lesson pal. thank you ever soo much, my head doesn't hurt as much anymore
Great tutorial, finally found one that actually explains the basics and doesn't just hop into nodes talking about all kinds of terms beginners dont know yet
Why doesn't anyone make tutorials like you do telling each step so lucidly about which button and where to press. After watching this and trying it out on test footage I have started falling in love with Resolve. Thanks so much.
So well explained as A COMPLETE beginner this is fantastic, just the first bit to get me going. So many people just assume we already know what we are doing, your teaching style is fantastic. Thank you
I've been trying to figure out a simple way to color-correct my videos for a while and it always seemed so daunting, until I watched this video! Thank you so much for making it simple for us newbies, and making it easy to understand :).
Thank you! That was lovely. Typically someone says "basic" and then goes into these in depth things that when I try to do it along with them, my video ends up looking like a 2 year old got ahold of the color dials. This was just right. (and I love the hint of taking a break. it's so easy to go down a bizarre color correction rabbit hole if you're not careful)
Yes, This is great video for me who hasn't ever done color correction. The video explain so simple and clear for starting point. Thanks for making this video.
Brother your delivery is great. Your personality makes me want to watch your videos, and the best part, you actually provide the info I've clicked on your video to find. Cheers, bro.
Holy - THANK YOU. Very simply explained, I love it. I've only just started working in video editing, and I'm watching your collab with Kevin Stratvert for the Intro to Resolve 18. I can also really just appreciate the ease with which you showed that "Less is More" because the before and afters were VERY dramatic (at least to me). Thank you!
I love how you shut the haters up before they could even comment 😂 I'm BRAND NEW to Resolve, haven't played with Colour yet and this video was PERFECT mate, I tried like 8 different videos which claimed to be for absolute beginners, but none of them went to MY level of basic. I guess what I'm trying to say is...epic video and thanks so much!
I knew next to nothing about color correction, and you made it so easy to get started. I also now know the difference between lift, gamma, gain. I can stop dragging things around and hoping for the best and actually make educated decisions 🤣 Thank you so much - subscribed 🙏
Super helpful video! It probably saved me an hour or more of bumbling through long winded vague explanations. Everything you need to get started: Blacks; Highlights; and Saturation.
So so helpful! I love the way you teach, it's very clear and easy to understand. Thank you for explaining things. I've watched this once a while back, but I am not seriously trying to learn color grading because it makes a huge difference in my videos so thank you again!
You are that guy whom I was looking for.... You are the best to explain all of these in an easiest way ... Without making them complicated. Thank you so much...🙏🙏.. ❤️ from India
Brilliant, thank you, Casey. I'm a photographer moving learning video. Your channel is making my transition so much more fluid. The fact that you are able to stay on point and not drift off like so many other 'tubers truly sets you apart.
I've gotta say -- even though I have some experience with color correction in basic video editors, this has been super helpful in knowing where the controls and some of the terms are in DaVinci. Thank you!
Finally an answer to the question "where do I start to learn about color correction"? Thank you for this and all your great videos. You are truly helping me.
Hey dude, just wanted to say thanks for making such concise, informative videos. It's so much nicer to watch something that's short and sharp without all the extra 'filler' that people put into their videos. Keep up the awesome work!!
I know this is a 4 year old video, but it still works, even in Resolve version 19.1! Thank you so much, Casey. I just needed some basic color correcting and this explains it so well! I'm editing a presentation. I don't need the colors to convey a feeling as if it were a movie. I just need it to look like real life. 🙂
I appreciate this. I first heard of Resolve a few weeks ago when watching a video from @StandardStoryCo. I was using Capcut at the time, but decided to try it out because of how much more comprehensive it seemed. I'm getting used to the edit panel, dabbled with Fairlight, and now I'm ready to work with color. I come from a photography background, so your terminology makes sense. Thank you!
in 8 minutes from this Video i learned a very good color grading fundamentals to get me started with robust knowledge on my new journey to learned Video Editing. appreciate the time & effort you put on this video to share your skills.
I’m learning davinci at the moment and have been watching a few different tutorials. Yours are definitely the best, at least for me. Very clear to understand, you’re a great teacher. I’m going to be a pro in no time ;)
I only recently started thinking of color correction just because I wanted to learn a bit more on the editing side and I didn't think that color correction would be such a simple but HUGE change. Definitely going to start using it now!
Same here. I've been using Photoshop for years and always dabbled with contrast/saturation but the way he explained Lift, Gamma, Gain was life changing lol
YOU aRE A LIFE SAVERRRR. I'd been struggling for so long with colour grading tutorials but yours explained it so well. Just the basics is all l needed and you gave exactly that. Less is really more. zthank yu
I don't think i have ever understood any form of information on this level! You are amazing at explaining and breaking down details to deliver the image as whole (pun intended). Discovered your channel 20 minutes ago and I am already subbed and hooked!! Thank you!
Your videos on DaVinci Resolve are fantastic I sent 5 hour yesterday with you and Resolve 17 and I was impressed with my out come as it was my first time on Resolve !! Thanks 😊
Amazing! I've been doing blackboard style videos for the past couple of months now and one thing that always bothered me was the black wasn't black and the colors just didn't stand out. Thank you for teaching me new tools to up my game!
Thanks for this simple explanation. I've edited two other small projects. On each one I just used a filter and adjusted that. This time, I'm actually going to use color correction. Thanks again.
What you have done here that is very useful is to explain the aim of what we want to achieve. The simple explanation of wanting things that are white to look white etc., was the missing link for me. Thank you 🙏🏽 so much.

Finally someone who explains things simply without going at lightning speed well done!!
Literally. Would take a 30 minute minute video of a chilled talker over a 5 minute video with 40 minutes of content
Honestly
Absolutely agree

Me: *Puts down snacks
Hahah that's funny!

hahahahahaha perfection
It happens to even the best of us lol
This level of Honest content is what youtube community craves ,, Hats Off
Oh man, i feel you, first adressing all the trolls and "i already knew that stuff"-type of people. I should do that more often too. Thanks for the video, a very great starting point. My CC is a mixture of luck and _no one will notice_ 😅
I am learning the basics so. I am the audience here! I am grateful.
fr, I really appreciate this
I've been scratching my head going through a lot of color grading basics tutorial and none of them explained what each color wheel represents and you perfectly did and thats why you differ from the rest. keep going
This video is exactly what I've been needing, Casey. Thanks for making it, and I'm looking forward to seeing how many people complain that it's too basic.
I call Casey 'Davinci Professor'. He makes everything look easy to operate/edit. I never miss his tutorials. Keep up Prof. Casey
This 5-year-old tutorial is perfect for absolute beginners. Just what I've needed in my transition from PowerDirector to Davinci Resolve.
First time here and this is one of the most efficient TH-cam tutorials I have seen. Thank you.
Thank you!
I second this notion about all his other vids I've seen too.
Thank you for making this video! Colour grading is something that I struggle to wrap my mind around, and so I found this barebones basic baseline knowledge type of video to be very helpful!
very well explained, simple and helpful, thanks 😊
Yeah that was the explanation i was looking for.

Very helpful, straight to the point, no fluff, that's how I like my teaching TH-cam videos. Well done sirs (and ma'ms... of course)

"When colors aren't normal, they convey an emotion."
Mind blown.
Well, that was a very good use of 8 minutes for me. Great tutorial! I learned stuff!

My inner child: "What's this button do??" Oooh thanks Casey now we know! Great tutorial
I'm pretty new to Davinci Resolve so finding the undo button was very useful. I also do the click click, oh no! undo undo.
I love that I can put one of your videos on and give it a like within 60 seconds just because you give me a chuckle and I learn something. Keep up the quality - stuff :)
Videos like these for ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS are rare. Great!
I absolutely love Resolve, i was so impressed by the software that i instantly bought lifetime licence key, i always felt like the Adobe cloud subscription non-sense was simply a money grabber for barely few improvements over time :/
Keep it up the great job Casey
What is the lifetime license key?

Yeah, you're right. I should just experiment and have fun. Thanks for the reminder.
Never been this early for any video. Loved the intro 😂😂😂
I luv yuu so much. I started stressing because other color correction tutorials practically just started speaking an other language 2mins into the video. Absolutely great video
Whenever I wanna give someone a compliment of more than 500 words I just say
I LOVED YOUR VIDEO THIS CAN'T BE BETTER! PERIOD!

Really helpful! I've been stuck in basic color correction with iMovie and downloaded Resolve and love the options. Thanks!
Wow I've been searching vids about color grading, I can not understand them. The way you explain it , is crystal clear . Thank you for this video
Just starting with Davinci Resolve 18 and love it. Your pace and depth are perfect for beginners. Great overview of the Color page.
I have watched SO many videos to try and get to grips with this. You have sorted it out for me in 8 minutes. Thanks!
Fantastic Lesson mate.

as someone just getting their feet wet in editing video (and subsequently, coloring) I GREATLY appreciate this. Thanks for this resource!
I've been trying to figure out a simple way to color-correct my videos for a while and it always seemed so daunting, until I watched this video! Thank you so much for making it simple for us newbies, and making it easy to understand :).
Great video Casey, the philosophy behind colour correction is important and most TH-camrs never discuss it!
Thank you for not rushing through! Some people forget this info is brand new for a true beginner.
Thank you! That was lovely. Typically someone says "basic" and then goes into these in depth things that when I try to do it along with them, my video ends up looking like a 2 year old got ahold of the color dials. This was just right. (and I love the hint of taking a break. it's so easy to go down a bizarre color correction rabbit hole if you're not careful)
Yes, This is great video for me who hasn't ever done color correction.
The video explain so simple and clear for starting point.
Thanks for making this video.
Color correction made me feel like the deuce in a room full of aces and kings... You've improved my hand considerably, thanks.
This was done very well. Not too much; not too little. You have a great presence and delivery.
Short and Precise! Casey!
Thank you, ive been searching for this. Almost every tutorials says its a basic coloe guide but provides alien language to the newbies
Brother your delivery is great. Your personality makes me want to watch your videos, and the best part, you actually provide the info I've clicked on your video to find. Cheers, bro.

I’m learning davinci at the moment and have been watching a few different tutorials. Yours are definitely the best, at least for me. Very clear to understand, you’re a great teacher. I’m going to be a pro in no time ;)
Ultra basic...This is what I needed. To start somewhere without being overwhelmed. Tks!
Man, I am a total noob on DaVinci, but this video was exactly what I wanted to start experimenting with! Keep going!
I only recently started thinking of color correction just because I wanted to learn a bit more on the editing side and I didn't think that color correction would be such a simple but HUGE change. Definitely going to start using it now!
Same here. I've been using Photoshop for years and always dabbled with contrast/saturation but the way he explained Lift, Gamma, Gain was life changing lol
After a lot of effort going through a lot of video tutorials, finally I came to know the logic in most practical way ...
YOU aRE A LIFE SAVERRRR. I'd been struggling for so long with colour grading tutorials but yours explained it so well. Just the basics is all l needed and you gave exactly that. Less is really more. zthank yu
Get me up to speed in 5mns simple and straight to the point, well done
I don't think i have ever understood any form of information on this level! You are amazing at explaining and breaking down details to deliver the image as whole (pun intended). Discovered your channel 20 minutes ago and I am already subbed and hooked!! Thank you!
Your videos on DaVinci Resolve are fantastic I sent 5 hour yesterday with you and Resolve 17 and I was impressed with my out come as it was my first time on Resolve !! Thanks 😊
Amazing! I've been doing blackboard style videos for the past couple of months now and one thing that always bothered me was the black wasn't black and the colors just didn't stand out. Thank you for teaching me new tools to up my game!
You are single handedly helping me with post preduction for my first ever vlog. Thanks so much for this valuable information!
This was totally simple. So Basic. Best use of 8mins of my life! thanks man!
Thanks for this simple explanation. I've edited two other small projects. On each one I just used a filter and adjusted that. This time, I'm actually going to use color correction. Thanks again.
What you have done here that is very useful is to explain the aim of what we want to achieve. The simple explanation of wanting things that are white to look white etc., was the missing link for me. Thank you 🙏🏽 so much.
