Myles Fearnley

This is a fantastic, interesting, and useful course despite being from 2019. It’s easy to follow, straight to the point, and the proper concept of color correction and grading all came together for me. The principles taught in Sections 1 and 2 are so important and discussed very clearly and apply whether using FCP, Resolve, Premiere, or any other grading tools. Sections 3-6 get more specific into FCP’s tools to solve challenging or stylized grades. Be sure to watch the update at the end to see a better way to solve the biggest challenge in the Advanced Color Techniques section due to an FCP color tools HSL update that wasn’t originally available when the video was first made. Now that FCP 11 is out I do think it would be nice if the author made one additional update as it’s been 5 years as of this review and the course is still feels relevant today. There are other FCP color grading courses out there but this one by itself brings it all home for me!
