A detailed PDF manual gives you a high-level view on the sort of things you might want to do with colour correction - to add style, emphasize what's important, match or confound audience expectations - and then explains how to achieve them. This also can be seriously complicated to use, but DaVinci Resolve does at least provide some quality local documentation to help you get started. This isn't just about dragging RGB sliders: you can create and adjust curves in real time, match and balance shots, use 3D object tracking and more. The real value here is in Resolve's colour grading. Import multiple clips and you're able to sync them automatically via audio. Import videos into a media pool here, add them to a timeline there, trim or reorganise clips, add transitions, apply effects, add titles and more.

This isn't a package for beginners, but if you've some editing experience the interface will seem familiar enough.

DaVinci Resolve is a powerful non-linear video editor with industrial-strength colour correction technology, as used on movies and TV productions across the world.
