- Curve Editor
- Motion tracking
- RAW imaging theory & processing
- How to read waveforms and scopes
- Grading VS correction
- Sizing
- Matching footage of various quality, shot on multiple cameras
- Styles - how to give your footage various “looks”
This workshop is structured to give participants time between sessions to practice on their own and come up with questions.
