Past

• Colorist Foundations (24 Aug 2026 – 28 Aug 2026)

  A 5-day live color grading intensive — from the fundamentals to a grade you'd hand a client.

• Introduction to Look Development (10 Mar 2026)

  This masterclass is organized by Blackmagic Design.

  Join us for this "watch & learn" workshop where we will explore the fundamentals of look development - a crucial part of color grading.

  We will learn how to find the line between shot-to-shot color correction and look development, what is important to keep in mind during the look creation process, which tools to use and how to bake the final result into a LUT for use on set and in post-production.

  Before the class, we’d love to hear what you're most excited to learn via this anonymous questionnaire: https://forms.gle/745xZ9T6FvWxaUEb6

• Introduction to Python Scripting (7 Feb 2026)

  This masterclass is organized by Blackmagic Design.

  Part 1: Introduction • What is a DaVinci Resolve script? • How to run scripts • What is needed to make scripts?

  Part 2: Hands-on scripting • Duplicate timeline script • Render file name generator

• Advanced Color Management (31 Jan 2026)

  This masterclass is organized by Blackmagic Design.

  Join us for this "watch & learn" workshop where we will explore various methods for color management in DaVinci Resolve.

  We will look at the differences between project-level and node-based color management, and explore various color management methods including Resolve's Color Space Transforms, ACES, and a few 3rd party solutions, including 2499-DRT and OpenDRT.

• Introduction to Color Science (12 Dec 2025)

  This masterclass is organized by Blackmagic Design.

  Join us for this "watch & learn" workshop where we will explore the vast world of color science and on our way try to understand how color management works inside DaVinci Resolve.

  This workshop is not a hands-on tutorial on how to use color management, but focuses more on the theoretical side of the topic.

• Introduction to DCTL Development (31 Oct 2025)

  This masterclass is organized by Blackmagic Design.

  Part 1: Introduction • What does DCTL mean? • What can DCTLs do? • What can't DCTLs do? • What do I need to make DCTLs?

  Part 2: Basic Image Science • The RGB color model • Understanding the behavior and underlying math of lift, gamma, gain, offset and contrast

  Part 3: Building our first DCTLs (Hands-on) • Setting up the workspace • Exercise 1: Boilerplate • Exercise 2: Static Lift, Gamma, Gain, Offset • Exercise 3: Adding UI Parameters • Exercise 4: Functions • Exercise 5: Contrast • Exercise 6: Grayscale Ramp
