Turn Color Video to Black and White with Saturation Control in DaVinci Resolve

how do you adjust the saturation of a

video in DaVinci Resolve

in other words how can we turn a colored

video clip and remove the colors turning

it into a black and white clip or adding

more saturation or intensifying the

colors of a clip let me show you in just

a moment

[Music]

okay here we are in the Edit Page of

DaVinci Resolve I have this clip and I

want to turn this into a black and white

clip it's really easy I just never tried

to look for it or never try to look for

the controls until now but it's super

easy but it's not that easy to find

because it's kind of set off in a little

small corner on another page so here you

go to turn this into a black and white

clip let's go to the color page and down

here make sure this is clicked on so you

can see the color wheels the four color

wheels and down here this mini mini

section down here is where you can

control the saturation and it's found on

toggle number one there's a toggle

number two for different controls but

toggle number one is where you can find

a saturation simply to turn this black

and white just put your cursor here and

start dragging to the left and you're

removing the colors of the clip and

there you go we're all the way at zero

so there's no more colors here but

another control that helps with this

image for your black and white image is

contrast if you adjust the contrast you

can see how it becomes a little bit more

distinct if it's all the way to the left

you're gonna see just a gray screen all

the way to the right it will be overly

contrasted so you just find the right

amount of contrast to your liking say

I'd say this is good and if I play that

there we have it we now have a black and

white clip and just to show you what it

looks like on a full screen let's bring

this back to the beginning press ctrl F

for full screen and play it there you go
