This looks more of explanation of the tool without detail :-(
not good waste of money
Great fundamental learning
So, this is a really good introduction to color grading/correction. It's to the point, in simple to understand language, and it doesn't take long to get through the material.
I am satisfied with the lesson, but it could use a little bolstering. If there was an exercise to do with some stock footage or something to help hammer the lessons in, I'd give this five stars.
This isn't a deep dive (and I don't think it's meant to be), so it is good for what it is. I'd recommend this to someone that's just starting to learn editing and is wanting to step up quality, but this is just the beginning!
It's true that it adds a lot of skills and techniques still in 2021, but there are lots of unnecessary info about how to use DaVinci Resolve. The course is about color grading not about how to use Davinci Resolve.
Pretty superficial and I miss source files.
Too old version of resolve.
Easy paced simple worded explanations.
A couple of good tips and tricks, very good for someone opening DaVinci Resolve for the first time!
