12. DaVinci Resolve Intro Tutorial


DaVinci Resolve is one way you can take advantage of our Editing Suites' full power. Adobe Premiere and After Effects also support colour correction, and these will work really well. But, Adobe is currently conflicting with the Blackmagic card. 

Use Adobe Photoshop, Premiere or After Effects and professional colour correction monitor display to colour correct and grade. This method uses the PC OS system's graphics card to show your media in the professional colour correction monitor display. This is much, much better quality and reliability than your laptop or desktop.

Use DaVinci Resolve and the Blackmagic graphics card to view your media on the professional colour correction monitor display to colour correct and grade. The Blackmagic card is pro-level colour correction equipment, and is tied directly to DaVinci Resolve. There's an emphasis on using it to perform the larger and in-depth efforts to affect the image quality of your media.

Refer to this Moodle document's chapter "ECUAD Colour Editing Software and Equipment" to learn how to access and set-up proper use of your media, and use either the Colour Correct monitor and Adobe, and/or the DaVinci Resolve / Blackmagic environment.
