So now that we're more familiar
with the resolve color interface,

I want to pause for a second and show you
how to open up, get your hands dirty,

and start messing with things
in the next few lessons.

Because in the next couple of lessons,

we're going to be talking
about some kind of higher level concepts.

And it's really good

to kind of grab sliders and play around
with things as you learn them.

So if you already have resolve open,
you might have a blank project open

or maybe something else
you've been working on.

But let's go ahead and open up
the same project here.

Let's go down to our project manager.

That's this little house icon down here.

And you should see a window,
something like this.

If you've been working in resolve, you
probably have your other projects here,

but you can right
click anywhere in the blank

space and select Restore Project Archive.

Now navigate

to the work files and links
which you should have downloaded

from the site and find something called
Pro Color Work Files.

Dot Dark.

Select that and go ahead and hit open.

You can also double click
the DRA in the Finder

or Explorer
to just open it up here and resolve.

But that should load up our project here.

We can double click on it

and it should open up.

If we go over to the media pool,
we see we have two major projects here.

We have smoke cheesecake
and Tuesday on Earth,

and each folder
is going to have two timelines.

One of them is start
and the other one as cases grade cases,

grade will be the finished product
of what we make here during the training.

Of course, I'm recording this and I can't

I don't have a time machine,
so it isn't there yet.

But the start timeline
should be all ungraded clips.

So if you want to poke around
at kind of where

we're going,
you can open up the cases grade.

If you want to do stuff yourself,
double click on the start timeline.

I'm going to be working on a version
of this timeline from Tuesday on Earth,

and I'll have some basic color
correction on it just so we aren't looking

at these kind of ugly, gray,
untouched images for our entire training.

But the big key here is don't be nervous.

Don't be afraid to grab a slider
and drag it back and forth, move

things around and break stuff

because you can really only mess
something up so much and you can always

just right click here in the node
graph and say reset all grades and nodes

for whatever shot you're on.

And the very, very worst case scenario,
if you just ruin things,

you can always go back
to your project manager, right click

and restore the Project Archive again,
because this is always going to be a copy.

It's always going to be
a backup of what we're doing

and so we can just import this again,

maybe name it a new version,
name and head.

Okay.

And now you can go right back

to the untouched project,

like I said.

And the next couple of lessons
we're going to be going over are color

scopes, as well as some details on nodes
and some strategies for color management.

And while we're going through this,
if you see me grab a slider

and move it around

or even go into some part of the interface
you've never been before.

Feel free to poke around and break things
because that's how you learn.
