Grading might seem a big, intimidating, costly process—and it definitely can be—but it doesn't have to be that way anymore. Just a little bit of grading can go a long way to creating a compelling look in projects of all sizes, without breaking the budget!

You will learn how to push colors away from the accurate and neutral into something that has more pop and punch. You will learn how to create some specific looks and how to use vignettes, grain, and more!
