Achieve Color Grading Mastery in DaVinci Resolve (my philosophy)

My Signature LUT Collection® - https://www.mitchellmullins.com/legacylutcollection After spending 8 years in DaVinci Resolve, I figured it's time to pull back the curtain on my workflow. I tried to condense everything down to the most fundamental components and focus on only what you need to know to create great grades. As shown in the video, the DCTL's are linked below.
