In this video, we're looking at colour grading a video podcast in DaVinci Resolve to give a cinematic teal and orange vibe with rich contrast.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
👉 Balancing exposure & white balance for a seamless multi-cam edit
👉 Using masks & power windows to shape the light and guide focus
👉 Applying a filmic look with Dehancer, Cullen Kelly LUTs & some DCTLs
👉 Final tweaks like noise reduction, saturation, and sharpening.
Let me know in the comments if you have any questions! Also, I’ll be dropping the full podcast episode soon.
