 DaVinci Resolve 20 just introduced an upgrade to speed ramping… but it’s not quite the game-changer we were hoping for. In this video, I walk you through exactly how the new system works, how to use it step-by-step — and where it still falls short. That’s why I created a concept fix — a better, faster way speed ramping could work in Resolve.

If your footage is feeling dull or lifeless, these color grading tips will help bring your shots to life—especially when working in Final Cut Pro.
