Thanks but there are already great tutorials available for free on the Filmlight youtube channel that go really in depth. This is a paid website and I assume most users are not just starting out. Therefore some more complex and up to date articles would be a lot more interesting and welcoming. 

We have watched the available training before creating this introduction-course, and we'll cover the whole range from beginner to intermediate and more advanced.

New training!

Josh Petok has created an amazing training series for Baselight Editions inside of Avid Media composer. It's an introduction course, tailored for DaVinci Resolve colorists and Avid editors that want to get access to premium color grading tools.  Learning different color correctors can lead to a a deeper understanding of color grading and help to see your current workflows, techniques and methods in a new light.

Yes, would it be possible to retain the transform only?

Hi Virgil. Unfortunately, this is only possible in the RCM/ACES versions as the transforms are handled by the color management systems in those versions.

I have tried by setting main and sub look to zero but there is still a look applied to it, only the log curve stays relatively untouched

Hi Orash. Thanks for using Ravengrade, looking forward to see what you create with it! You should be able to use the color controls only and completely bypassing the look by setting main to zero. Will send you an email to see if we can figure out what is going on.

We are super excited to finally show you our new Masterclass with Mark Todd Osborne. This is a 90 minute class with tons of valuable insight. Available now here. Enjoy!

Will there be a trial version of Ravengrade?

Hi Andreas. We have a few hundred pre-orders that will get access to the Plug-in next month and we'll work with them to improve all aspects of it. Currently there is no plan of when a public version will be released, price, and if a trial will be available at that point, but the documentation will be good enough for anyone to take an informed decision whether to buy or not.

Is there a more definitive release date than Q1 2022, now that Q1 2022 is almost upon us?

Hi James. If you pre-ordered, you will get your copy in February.

We're proud to announce the videocast "Masters of Color".

Cullen Kelly is the host and we have invited some of the most renowned colorists in the industry to share insight about the high-end world of color grading.

We just posted a new in-depth course about Look Development and Workflow in DaVinci Resolve 17 with Jason Bowdach. This is an intermediate course and you will learn complex saturation workflows, how to evaluate and recreate film emulations, analyze and create film halation, create custom black and white look, film grain methodology, the teal and orange look and much more. It's a solid course that every colorist should watch, and even the most experienced can learn useful strategies, techniques and color theory that helps stay on top of the game.

Lesson 09 video in the PROFESSIONAL COLOR GRADING TECHNIQUES IN DAVINCI RESOLVE course by Kevin P. McAuliffe is only able to be viewed in small scale or PinP.

Hi Kevin. Is the Fullscreen button bottom right not visible?

 

DaVinci Resolve 17 is a major new release with a massive new DaVinci wide gamut color space that enables even higher quality image processing.

This course is a must-see for all professional colorists, and the new color management solution will make you create better looking images!

The course is thought by the world-renowned video- and workflow-specialist and author Lee Lanier. The first version of this course was recorded a year ago, and has been updated with many new lessons and theory and examples are added to the exisiting ones.

In this training series you will learn to work with both display-referred and scene-referred management including ACES, applying DRTs with SDR and HDR projects, using DaVinci Wide Gamut, matching camera profiles with color space transforms and DCTLs, how to set up your projects for multiple color space outputs, RED IPP2 and RAW workflow, how to use the Gamut tool, LUTs, CSTs and OpenColorIO in Fusion, an overview of the Colorspace Aware Tools and much more. 

The DaVinci Resolve database files, footage and DCTL are available for download so that you can easily follow along. 
I want to especially thank Paul Dore, Dylan R. Hopkin, John Daro, Marc Wielage and Doug Delaney for their generous help and valuable inputs.
