Have you ever had to color correct footage that was improperly white balanced? How about trying to balance the color of clips that were shot with low-quality lighting? It can be a nightmare!

In this course you will learn how to color correct your video using an inexpensive color reference target and free software. You will get a brief overview of Blackmagic Design's DaVinci Resolve, learn how to color correct with a reference target, and discover how to export your clips back to your editor.
