I just added the FujiFilm Film Stock LUT Pack to the Resolve School classroom. This pack includes 11 finishing LUTs inspired by classic Fuji film stocks and designed to emulate the feel of a film print. These are not corrective LUTs. They are meant to sit at the very end of your color pipeline, after exposure, white balance, and contrast are already dialed in. Think of them as the final layer that gives your footage cohesion, contrast discipline, and subtle film character. Fuji-inspired looks tend to lean slightly cleaner and more restrained compared to warmer print styles. You get controlled saturation, refined highlight roll-off, natural skin tones, and a consistent tonal response that feels intentional instead of overly processed. The goal is not heavy stylization. The goal is a finished image that feels cohesive and polished. HOW YOU CAN GET IT You have two options: 1. You can purchase the FujiFilm LUT pack individually inside the classroom if you want this specific look. 2. Or you can join the Premium Membership and get access to: - All LUT packs and presets - The full classroom - The 3-Hour Edit System - Live Calls and resources If you’re already building inside Resolve consistently, Premium usually makes more sense long term. If you grab the pack and use it on a project, drop a still frame or short clip in the comments. I’d love to see how you’re using it and what footage you’re applying it to. QUICK POLL Where are you at with LUTs?

Editing can easily turn into “just get it done.” Another timeline. Another export. Another round of fixes. So here’s the nudge for this week: Try one new thing in Resolve. Not because you need it. Not because it’s efficient. Just because it’s interesting. Find a tutorial you’ve never tried. Test a feature you normally ignore. Experiment with an effect you’ve been curious about. Learning keeps editing from feeling mechanical. And sometimes the thing you try “just for fun” ends up becoming part of your real workflow later. COMMUNITY SHARE If you try something new this week, drop it below: • What tutorial did you follow? • What feature did you test? • What surprised you? Link it if you want. Let’s build a thread we can all pull ideas from. WINS FROM LAST WEEK @Benjamin Lanin built a custom arrow in Fusion after following a tutorial, even though he usually avoids Fusion because it can turn into a rabbit hole. @Neil Dasgupta committed to setting a clear editing goal for the next couple of months to stay accountable in his learning. Trying. Showing up. Taking one step forward. That’s real progress. THIS WEEK INSIDE RESOLVE SCHOOL Nothing heavy scheduled. No live calls. Later today, I’ll post a separate thread with three film frames you can vote on. I’ll recreate the winning look (color grade), record the process, and share the PowerGrade so you can experiment with it yourself. Keep an eye out for that post and cast your vote.

Happy Monday, everyone. There’s been solid momentum lately in the community and behind the scenes, and I’m genuinely excited about where things are headed. Last week, I spent a lot of time deep in Fusion and scripting, more than I ever have before. It was a good reminder that learning something new can actually feel energizing when you give yourself permission to not be good at it yet. ONE REMINDER FOR THIS WEEK 🧠 If Resolve still feels slow or uncomfortable, that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. Most progress with new tools and workflows takes longer than we expect. Months, not days. Struggle usually just means you’re still in the unfamiliar phase. That phase is normal. Keep moving! WHAT HAPPENING THIS WEEK 📅 Resolve Room Live Q&A Friday at 1pm EST (Premium + VIP members) Open questions, project talk, and a relaxed hangout. Bring something you’re working on, or just listen in. Also, if you haven’t already, take a look through the Foundations Library and see if there’s something in there that answers a question you’ve been carrying around. WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON 👀 One of the best parts of this community is seeing real work in progress. If you’re editing something this week, consider sharing it here. A screenshot, a clip, a timeline view, or even a question you’re stuck on is more than enough. It doesn’t need to be finished or polished. Seeing work early helps others learn and keeps the momentum going. Looking forward to seeing what everyone’s building this week 🙌

I want to mark this moment clearly. The 3 Hour Edit System is officially live inside Resolve School. This system exists for a very specific reason. Not to make editing flashy. Not to walk through every possible feature in DaVinci Resolve. And not to promise that every edit magically takes three hours. It exists to give beginners and busy creators a REPEATABLE STRUCTURE for editing long-form videos, so decisions stop stacking and videos actually get finished. At its core, the system is: • A three pass editing workflow • Built specifically for long-form content • Designed to reduce frustration and decision fatigue • Focused on clarity, momentum, and completion If you’ve ever opened Resolve and felt like everything needed attention at once, this is who it’s for. It’s also important to say what this system is not. This isn’t a feature-by-feature walkthrough of Resolve. It’s not film school. And it’s not about cinematic perfection. It’s about knowing what to do next, and what not to worry about yet. This also isn’t a static course. I’m already planning additional modules for the system, including workflows around the AI tools in the Studio version of Resolve, for those who use it. As Resolve evolves, the system will evolve with it. Alongside the system, I’m actively working on a few additional resources: • A 5 DAY BETTER COLOR CHALLENGE, available to every Resolve School member • A MORE IN-DEPTH COLOR GRADING COURSE for Premium and VIP members • AN EDIT FOR RETENTION COURSE, currently in planning, for Premium and VIP members, focused on short-form content (Shorts, TikTok, Reels) and long-form YouTube With the system going live, Resolve School has moved into its next phase. For new members joining now: • PREMIUM is $19 per month and includes the 3 Hour Edit System • VIP includes everything in Premium at a discounted annual rate with priority support

I want to take a moment to clearly explain how Resolve School is structured right now, and what will change when the 3 Hour Edit System officially launches on February 1. This post isn’t about pushing anyone to upgrade. It’s about clarity, so you can decide what makes sense for you without pressure. FIRST, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO SAY UP FRONT: If you joined Resolve School for free and are currently on the standard tier, nothing changes for you. You are grandfathered in and will stay free forever. There’s no requirement to upgrade, now or later. Everything below applies to new members joining after February 1, or to existing members who choose to upgrade. How Resolve School is set up right now (founding phase) At the moment, there are three tiers. Standard (free for founding members). This is the community foundation. It includes: • Full access to the Resolve School community • The Resolve Foundations Library • Tools and resources • Sharing projects for feedback • Commenting, discussion, and collaboration with other members This tier exists to make Resolve feel less intimidating and help beginners build confidence. Premium (founding price: $9/month). Premium is where structure and systems live. It includes everything in Standard, plus: • Full access to the 3 Hour Edit System • All current and future classroom courses • Downloadable presets, templates, and LUTs (premium-only) • Bi-weekly live Q&A sessions (every other week) This tier is for people who want a repeatable way to actually finish long-form edits. VIP (founding price: $75/year). VIP includes everything in Premium, plus: • A 30% discount compared to monthly pricing • Priority support for DMs and comments This is simply a more supported version of Premium for people who want faster feedback. WHAT CHANGES ON FEBRUARY 1? On February 1, Resolve School will move to fully paid tiers for new members only.
