DaVinci Node Tree & Colour Grading Tutorial

Master the art of on-the-fly color grading with the LAAG Media Node Tree and Colour Grading Tutorial, led by Sam.

This 30-minute, grade-along tutorial breaks down my personal DaVinci Resolve Grading workflow, showing you exactly how I structure, balance, and finish my grades for Instagram and long-form video projects.

You’ll learn not just how to use the LAAG Media Node Tree, but why each node exists, how to adapt it to your footage, and how to get consistent, clean results across different cameras and shooting conditions.

What’s covered in the tutorial:

• Timeline setup for optimal grading and export

• Importing and using the LAAG Media Node Tree

• Basic colour balancing and exposure control

• Converting camera Log footage to Rec.709

• Masking and selective adjustments

• My complete, real-world colour grading process

This tutorial is designed to be followed in real time, so you can grade alongside me and apply the workflow immediately to your own projects.

Whether you’re just getting into colour grading or looking to refine your process, this tutorial gives you a structured, repeatable system you can use on every edit.
