Introduction

Since I don’t know you personally, I’ll assume you’re either new to color grading or just getting started. But one thing is certain—you want to create cinematic, visually stunning videos, and that’s great!

This isn’t a deep dive, but rather a quick guide to help you get started with color grading.

I’ll walk you through the basics—what you need, where to go and the first steps to practicing.

If you stick around, I’ll be sharing more tutorials and free content to help you improve, so stay tuned!

What you’ll need to practice Color Grading

To get started, you’ll need:

✔️ A computer

✔️ A software called DaVinci Resolve

✔️ High-quality footage

“Can I do it on a phone or an iPad?”

Sorta but I don’t recommend it, proper color grading requires computing power and professional software that mobile devices simply don’t have. There’s a version of DaVinci Resolve for iPad, but the interface isn’t well-adapted, and honestly, it’s not ideal for serious work.

“Can I learn color grading on other editing software?”

Technically, yes—but I don’t recommend it. I mainly use the Adobe suite (Premiere Pro & After Effects) for editing, but I do all my color grading in DaVinci Resolve because it offers far more control and possibilities.

Some professionals don’t use DaVinci and manage just fine, but trust me, if you’re serious about color grading, you want to stick to Resolve.
