Davinci Resolve 17 Underwater Color Grading Tutorial OC from GoPro Hero 9

This is a basic walk through how I color grade my underwater footage. I am a beginner at this but even at my level the footage looks better than using GoPro color profile. If you have any tips for me please leave them in the description section. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to color grading but as I get better so will my videos.

GoPro Settings

RES/FPS - 4K/60
Lens - Linear + HL
Hypersmooth - Boost
Bitrate - Standard (trying high next video)
Shutter - Auto
EV comp - (-0.5)
White balance - Auto (Trying Native next video)
ISO - 100/800
Sharpness - Medium
Color - Flat

As I stated in the video, no 2 clips are the same so color correction is very time consuming but the end result is much more satisfying than using GoPro color profile. If your footage is long, think about cutting it into clips to make color grading it much easier.
