Colorist and producer Casey Faris has a fairly impressive showreel – and in this five-part tutorial he shows us how to make the round trip from Premiere to Resolve and back again.
Part 1: XML fromPremiere to Resolve – how to get the data out of Premiere and link the associated proxies to footage from the Blackmagic Pocket.
Part 2: Primaries and Matching: Bringing stock footage and material together into a consistent look.
Part 3: Secondaries & Look – now it’s about the effect of the images, how to guide the viewer’s eye and relight scenes.
Part 4: Finishing Secondaries: Once everything is together and matched, it is time for secondary grading – after all, you don’t just want to clean things up, but also improve and emphasize the image a little.
Part 5: Back to Premiere – Here we see more secondary grading tricks, say goodbye to this work step and return to Premiere.
