Keyframe a Color Change in DaVinci Resolve 20 [v]

[ This is an excerpt from a recent webinar: “Video Scopes & Color Grading in DaVinci Resolve 20” which is available as a download in our store, or as part of our Video Training Library. ]

EXCERPT DESCRIPTION

Far too often, you need to change color settings in the middle of a clip so that the colors change during playback. While you can simply dissolve between two clips, using keyframes gives you more control – allowing you to change settings multiple times during a clip.

In this short video tutorial, Larry Jordan shows how to create color keyframes and change settings to convert a clip from daylight to indoor lighting.

NOTE: This technique works for all recent versions of DaVinci Resolve.

Containing more than three dozen demos and techniques, there’s so much information here you’ll want to watch this more than once. The cursor is highlighted and extensive titles are added to make these techniques as clear as possible.

Join Larry Jordan as he illustrates:

• How to transfer projects from Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro into Resolve
