- Hello and welcome to

DaVinci Resolve 12 Advanced Training.

I'm Patrick Inhofer and you are about

to deepen your knowledge
of DaVinci Resolve.

Now my goal for you in this title is to

move you from knowing DaVinci Resolve

to being a savvy user of DaVinci Resolve.

And it doesn't matter
what kind of work you do,

corporate videos, documentaries, shorts,

features films, or yes, Whisker the Cat's

YouTube channel, you
will learn the features

and workflows that make Resolve one of

the most efficient and
flexible tools of its kind.

Now I'm calling this
Advanced Resolve 12 Training.

What do I mean by advanced?

Well in the DaVinci Resolve
12 Essentials Training

I focused on the core feature set that 80%

of Resolve users need to
know to get their work done.

I wanted to make you competent in Resolve

as quickly as I could while making sure

I answered the questions
most frequently asked.

This training supplements that title,

turning you into a savvy Resolve user.

You'll learn the additional
features, many of them

only introduced to Resolve
in the last year or two,

designed to support its core mission,

making us faster while color grading.

Plus, you'll be exposed to features

designed to support more complicated

workflows if you want to more carefully

manage the behavior of Resolve.

You'll also see Resolve
Studio's Motion Effects

put to use and how streamlined its

noise reduction tools really are.

Just remember, those
tools are only available

if you have a physical USB dongle,

which you can buy from a Blackmagic Design

reseller or shipped as a bonus add-on

if you buy any Blackmagic camera,

well except for the Pocket camera,

which does not include
a Resolve Studio dongle.

Also, I am really excited about the

In Action chapters at
the end of this training.

Those chapters in my
mind are some of the most

valuable movies, in both the Resolve

Essentials and Resolve Advanced titles.

You'll move from learning
sliders and widgets

and pull-downs, to figuring out how

to actually attack color correction.

I'll share with you my
best teaching advice,

from the three-pass
workflow to what I call

the singularity effect, and how working

within the rules of those concepts makes

color correction much, much easier

because you're going to end up with

a simple, repeatable
workflow that will adapt

to almost any project you're working on.

Now as I said in my
earlier Resolve Essentials

training, Resolve is in Version 12,

it's a very mature app, there's no need

to rush your way through these movies.

Follow along with me, do the exercises,

even only if it's from videos pulled off

of your iPhone because becoming

Resolve savvy requires you to execute

what we're talking about and by doing

these videos you'll
literally be firing neurons

connecting your hands to
your eyes and to your brain.

You'll retain more information
and accelerate your learning.

Now if you have access
to the Exercise Files,

you'll be able to follow along with me

and not worry about crashing and burning

with a client in the
room, this is a safe zone,

experiment, explore, have fun.

But remember, the footage
I'm sharing with you

here has been generously licensed to us

from a real-life feature documentary,

please respect their copyright,

don't share this footage,

use it only for your
personal educational use.

Who am I? I'm Patrick Inhofer,

a professional colorist with over 25 years

experience in video post
production and color correction.

My color correction
software skills are mostly

self-taught so I have
gone through your pains,

and I remember my early
color correction confusion.

So I'll share with you my tips and tricks

for avoiding the many minefields

in what's a very subjective craft.

Without further delay, let's get

you savvy on DaVinci Resolve 12.
