Most color grading courses teach you to push sliders. This course teaches you the math behind why those sliders work.
The PFA Color Suite is built on subtractive color science -- the same physics that govern real film emulsion -- but the tools behave nothing like what you're used to in DaVinci Resolve. A saturation slider that makes shadows richer instead of blowing them out. A contrast curve that protects hue at extreme pushes. An AI engine that learns your creative instincts instead of replacing them.
In this free course, Nash Yang walks through every single engine in the PFA Color Suite, one module at a time. You will see the technical architecture, understand the algorithms, and learn exactly when and why to use each tool. This is not a surface-level overview. It is the same technical depth from the PFA white paper, translated into practical, hands-on lessons.
Whether you're a colorist looking to understand the science behind the tools, a filmmaker deciding if this suite fits your workflow, or a student who wants to learn subtractive color grading from the ground up -- this course gives you the complete picture. No paywall. No upsell. Just the full breakdown.
Color Grading Course FAQ
Is this color grading course really free?
Yes. The PFA Color Suite Masterclass is completely free, with no paywall, no upsell, and no credit card required. We believe professional color grading education should be accessible to everyone.
Do I need DaVinci Resolve to take this course?
No. This course teaches the color science and algorithms behind the PFA Color Suite, which works as a standalone color grading tool. If you also want to practice inside DaVinci Resolve, our free DaVinci Resolve 19 color correction course pairs perfectly with it.
What is subtractive color grading?
Subtractive color grading models color the way film emulsion actually works, using CMY primaries instead of additive RGB. The result is richer shadows, natural skin tones, and contrast that protects hue even at extreme pushes - the foundation of the PFA Color Suite.
How long does it take to learn color grading?
Most students see a big improvement in their grades within a few weeks of consistent practice. This course walks through every engine in the PFA Color Suite module by module, so you can learn the math and immediately apply it to real footage.
Is this color grading course worth it?
If you want to understand why color grading tools work instead of just memorizing sliders, this free course gives you the technical depth of the PFA white paper in practical, hands-on lessons - at no cost.
What will I learn about the PFA Color Suite?
You will learn the technical architecture of every engine in the PFA Color Suite, including the saturation, contrast, and AI-assisted grading tools, plus exactly when and why to use each one.

Inspiring.
The course teaches exactly how to use every section. The verbal explanations and visual presentations of each section are phenomenal. I'm completely blown away by the power and ease of use of this amazing tool.
