About Course

Why doesn’t this look like what I saw in the monitor/tv/phone/cinema? It seems like every year; a new video standard or technology arrives on the scene that dramatically changes the way we view video. By learning the basics of RAW Video, LUTS, and Color Management, you can mitigate these problems, ensuring that your work is seen as close to the original as possible, not matter what technology it is ultimately viewed on.
This class will go over RAW Video, its fundamental technology, and why everyone shoots RAW in the first place. We will learn the common controls for adjusting RAW, and how to use LUTS to translate that RAW video into specific broadcast and cinema standards.
We will then move on to more advanced Color Management, which allows much more granular control over the conversion using ACES and Resolve Color Management. We will then learn how to setup a color management pipeline, between editorial, VFX, and the colorist to ensure proper output, throughout the process.
Finally, we will dip our toes into High Dynamic Range (HDR) grading. We will go over the basic technology, and best practices for grading HDR. The class will make final deliverables that trigger the HDR playback on YouTube, as well as consumer television sets.
