Earlier this week, I posted three different film looks and asked you to vote. Film Look #3 (Sinners) won. So in this video, I walk through recreating that look step by step inside Resolve. We break it down the way it should be broken down: ✅ Match exposure and contrast first ✅ Analyze skin tones and background separation ✅ Use curves for hue control ✅ Add subtle glow ✅ Finish with film grain The goal wasn’t to perfectly copy it. The goal was to understand how to think through recreating a look. Now it’s your turn. 🏆 CHALLENGE: Download the reference still and practice clip from the classroom, or use your own footage, and recreate this look yourself. Post your result in the comments below this post by next Saturday. 👇 You can: ✅ Use the provided practice video clip ✅ Use the reference still only ✅ Or use your own clip entirely What matters is that you try to match the tonal balance, skin warmth, cool background, and overall contrast structure. This walkthrough video will also live in the classroom for archiving purposes, along with: ✅ The reference image ✅ The downloadable PowerGrade ✅ The practice clip Check it out in the classroom too. Let’s see what you come up with.

During our last online meeting I was challenged to create a video. So I did! 😎 This is not the video that I had in mind. But hey! I went down an AI rabbit hole. To find out why this video and the back-story you'll have to attend today's meeting. ************************************** This is my rough cut - if you have any suggestions or comments, come-on out to the online meeting.

I’m posting this on Saturday, but it still counts. 😁 What did you work on this week inside Resolve? Did you start a new edit, finish something that’s been sitting on your timeline, clean up audio, tighten a rough cut, or just spend a little time getting more comfortable in the software? Just curious what moved forward for you this week. Drop it below.👇 Big progress, small progress, all of it counts.

Before we talk about wins, quick permission slip: Not every week feels fast. Not every edit feels smooth. Not every timeline gets finished. Progress inside Resolve is often quieter than we expect. Now let’s capture what did move. What’s one win from this week? It can be small. • Opened Resolve even though you didn’t feel like it • Finished a rough cut • Tried the Structure Pass without jumping ahead • Cleaned up audio for the first time • Published something imperfect • Asked a question instead of staying stuck Small counts. If you want to go one level deeper: What felt easier this week than it did a month ago? Drop your win below. 👇 Doesn’t need to be polished.

as editor i think if we offer thumbnails too so we can earn double right rate this 0/10
