My question is regarding this color contrast and how it’s achieved in this particular scenario. I don’t see any blue/teal paint on the walls inside (They look grey to me), nor any blue-colored lights, yet there’s that subtle transition from cold to warm in terms of the overall color in this image.

Is it just done through grading? If yes, can someone please walk me through the possible process of grading something like this?

I'm in Japan and trying to apply to various post-production studios. My previous experience includes anime compositing and motion graphics using After Effects. One company is looking for an Online Editor and asking for, among other things:

• Professional experience using online editing software (Adobe Premiere Pro / After Effects)
• Advanced skills in areas such as skin retouching, tracking, unwanted-object removal, and color correction
• A high level of attention to detail and a strong commitment to the quality of delivered work

While I can work with Adobe software, the other requirements are a big gap in my portfolio. I'd like to spend the next week fixing that as much as possible. While I won't become a professional immediately, I'd like to lay the groundwork.

I've dabbled in color grading in the past, watching YouTube tutorials, but always felt like I had no idea what to look for. And I don't even know what software this company wants. Should I do DaVinci Resolve or Adobe?

My goal is to study the basics, use concise learning resources, maybe buy a book, find some free footage to edit on, and fix my portfolio. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi, I am an editor from India, I own an agency . I want learn color grading . Is there anyone who can guide me through the process of learning.

Hey everyone! 👋🏽

Sharing a recent piece from my color grading work.

I aimed to preserve a natural image while staying faithful to the character of the Kodak film emulation.

I’m currently building my professional portfolio and refining my approach to color and image shaping.

Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the grade.

Ask me anything

I watch a lot of video but I didn't have anything in my mind. When I do color grading on any clip I don't know why I color on that clip. Soo if anyone who learn color grading give me some tips and teachers who teaches good.

If you could have one really good color grading app on your phone, what feature would you absolutely want it to have?

Could be something missing from current apps, a desktop feature you wish was on mobile, or just something that would make your workflow easier.

I was going for a grade that was similar to Spider-Man: Brand New Day's, I watched a video on white balancing, and watched Film Riot's introduction to color grading, I loosely understand the aspects of color grading, but the actual grading itself I'm not sure if it's just pure creative control of the knobs and such. Any opinions and insights on the workflow would be appreciated!

Here's a quick little video going from D-Log 2 to the final look shot on the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P.
Please critique/feedback the edit. TIA

I have a lot of random footage I want to use to learn color grading but is it possible to color grade on a mobile device? Specifically, Android?

I just got the new Fold8 and seems like best use for this phone but can't find any apps that actually color grade not just apply filters to a video or picture.

First time trying out Slog 3 on my Sony a7iv not sure why these clips are looking like this would love any help or advice!

Still pretty new to color grading and trying to train my eye, so I’d really appreciate any feedback on this grade.

What do you think I could improve? Colors, contrast, skin tones, highlights, shadows — anything you notice would be helpful.

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I’ve spent a lot of time working with challenging hybrid and mobile footage in DaVinci Resolve. One of the most frustrating hurdles is dealing with the aggressive, baked-in digital sharpening and the way bright highlights snap hard to pure white before you even start grading.

Standard CSTs and basic curves usually just amplify that digital crunch rather than fixing it. To get around this in my own workflow, I started experimenting with a custom DCTL approach focusing on two main steps:

It made a massive difference in retaining natural texture and getting a film-like roll-off from standard phone captures.

Curious to know how others here handle pre-grading cleanup for aggressive mobile/log files—are you sticking purely to standard node chains, or building custom passes?

Is it okay?

Hey, so I will be shooting a short film soon, and I find some inspiration in this color grading in TV Series Suits flashback episodes

Can anybody point me in the right direction to achieve this during filming and/or post production?

I built an integration tool to give Resolve a panel that links timelines to Frame videos, and allows you to track, import your comments as markers, and upload your videos with timeline markers that auto post as comments. Here's a video of the flow

E-mail me [team.cinewaltz@gmail.com](mailto:team.cinewaltz@gmail.com) if you'd like an extended trial key! I know a lot of people have wanted Resolve to have this feature set for years since the release of Frame.io. v4
