Davinci Resolve Color Grading Tutorial - ONLY 3 Nodes! Simple & Effective

In this tutorial, we’re creating a cinematic color grade using ONLY 3 nodes in DaVinci Resolve. Yes — just three nodes. No paid plugins, no complicated node trees, just a simple and powerful workflow that works in the free version of Resolve. I’ll walk you through each step in real time: • Node A – Image Transformation • Node B – Tonal & Color Adjustments • Node C – Final Look / Film Character Along the way, we’ll use scopes, color balance, contrast shaping, and subtle hue shifts to achieve a unified and artistic color palette. This is a great technique for learning how light, color, and texture work together — and it’s perfect whether you’re just starting or already experienced with color grading. 00:00 Intro 00:16 Project Settings 00:33 Tree Nodes 01:00 Transformation, the S curve 02:36 Hue vs Hue 03:38 The Look 05:06 Skin Tones 05:52 The Blacks 07:35 Before and After Tools used: DaVinci Resolve (Free Version) No LUTs.
