    Agreed! Would love more color grading classes too. YT is full of them but you have to wade through a lot of bad advice. Thanks h1ghm1nd!

    It's good but majority of the course is taught on Baselight, we can borrow the concepts and apply them on resolve. I don't think I will be able to afford baselight in this lifetime :mad:

    yes absolutely true with the baselight, cant understand why they made it so expensive tho :( But this Eric class was fantastic imo, wish there were more classes like these. Resolve is awesome, but its tutorials and masterclasses are so saturated; haven't found any good lessons

    I think there won't be one masterclass for resolve since the program keeps adding new features which is basically inspired by baselight and the landscape of ofx plugin, dctls keeps changing, we have to find bits and pieces for ourselves. For foundation on resolve and basic color grading concepts I recommend TAC Walter Vopotto Course. Masterclass on resolve - meh:D
