Black Magic - Davinci

During one of my projects I was doing some research into colour grading so I could further develop my skills in that particular area. While looking I came across a company called Black Magic who had for many years developed a piece of software named Davinci.

Davinci in a nut shell is a high quality colour grading program now used by thousands of companies, from small production to Hollywood size productions. Orginally it was a very expensive piece of software only affordable by top end productions though recently Black Magic have released a lite version which is free for anyone to use, with the option to upgrade for $995.

I've have only have a quick play with Davinci taking pieces of my own footage, testing out different features like the 'automatic mode' which is great for getting a quick perspective on how the colours of your scene should look. One thing I absolutely loved about this program is the auto-tracking feature and it does surprisingly well, I tested both a car moving and a person walking. Davinci easily tracker all movement by each subject and I was able to edit them separately to ensure they were centre of attention.
