It's actually a good course if you need to learn how to use the tools in a hurry, like in my case. The explanations are good and straight to the point. How ever, the content it's a little bit dated now, and I think it could dive more in some of the advanced functions. A good course overall.

Excellent course to go from knowing almost nothing to knowing enough to start practicing by revisiting some lessons. Just what I was looking for.

It's a good overview on the software use. What I am really missing is downloadable example footage to play around and follow along. Also, I would have loved more detail on the color grading part in terms of the parade and vector scopes. It would be nice to have some sort of a demo exercise where a clip needs to be graded according to an example master clip.

This is an excellent intro class into color correction and color grading. Rob explains everything clearly. He will teach you the basic tools you need to know to start trying these techniques in your own projects. Well worth the money.
