You can learn to use these powerful tools efficiently, using expert techniques to achieve consistent, professional results.

The Color Grading with Media Composer and Symphony (MC239) course will teach you to carefully analyze images to diagnose the problems and fix them quickly. Learn to grade in multiple passes, leveraging various tools for flexibility in correcting the toughest images.
