So far Qazis masterclass and toolkit has unlocked new potential for me, allowing me to learn some game changing tips and tricks (and I'm only a little bit into the course) as well as allowing me to monitor how my image actually looks on a professional level. I'm very happy with this investment.

I haven't even completed half of the course yet and can clearly see how much improvement I have made. I did a comparison of footage from a year ago and it was light years apart. This has lifted my skills so much already, I can't wait to finish the course to see where else this can take me.

Hands down, the best tools inside Davinci Resolve since I started editing.This review is my honest opinion, no money changed hands, I’m real, this is real. I’m Matt Harder, Filmmaker based in Germany. In the last 4 years I shot my first ever feature film. Now I’m on my Mac editing this beast. And because it’s the biggest project in my life so far, I need to make sure it’s the perfect edit.

As a beginner this course helped me a lot so far in understanding the concept of coloring or ( coloring management) which previously I used for add colors without knowing why I am doing these changes. I am sure I will be learning more and more on the remaining of this course

Understanding colors and how to control them using davinci resolve really improved our work as we are still learning more and more, using Qazi's tool as demo makes color grading much easier, even better it shows you exactly colors of your image, Qazi's tool proves that the tool is very powerful.

Being fairly new at this Colorist game, I’ve realized that it’s all subjective. I was color grading BTS/EPK footage for STARZ. I believe the difference between a novice Colorist and a Pro would come down to the library of knowledge one obtains over time. The Qazi tool kit is a definite cheat code, not a negative. This is old school Contra infinite...

Sat on the sidelines for 2 years. Finally stepped up and jumped on board. To be honest, the videos don’t really do these tools justice. When you get your hands on them you quickly realize the power they possess… Game changer…
Thanks Qazi.

I really like using Qazi’s Toolkit. I am now getting the looks that i have been seeing on Netflix and in the movies effortlesly without spending to much time with complex node trees. I can really recommend Qazi’s Toolkit to anybody that wants to level up their color grading and take the next step towards becoming a profesional colorist.

I'm Japanese and can't speak English, but there was a practice sample of the translation on YouTube, so I practiced with it.I was amazed at how much time it saved and how uniform the products were. I don't understand the features yet, but some of the features are really great, so I don't think you'll regret buying it.

This is best decision of my life to learn something good this about color grading in davinci you do doing well done jobe i am from india one guy called prateek mahesh and i show his work he tell on his youtube video where he learn color grading then i follow you thank you for all your support sir!
Pablo Mtz

Was a bit sceptical about buying this kit, because i thought... Davinci is already so powerful, why would i need a tool to get the results i already can get?. But man, so glad i bought it! You can just get there so much faster with every tool and with charts i can make sure my exposure, skin or saturation is spot on. I don't think someone really into color grading would regret getting this.

I’ve been working on filmmaking for 10 years but I wanted to improve my colorist skills. I haven’t completed the course yet but I already feel the improvement. Waqas makes it easy to understand stuff that I always struggled to learn. Highly recommended.

And because it’s the biggest project in my life so far, I need to make sure it’s the perfect edit. I tried so much for Color grading. I tried it myself from scratch, I used some ARRI Luts on it and worked hard to make it look cinematic. In the end, after many hours, I wasn’t happy with the outcome so I was looking for something else. I stumbled over Qazi’s YT Channel and learned so much more about Color grading, only from his free videos. In his videos he is using his own tools sometimes and I absolutely loved the outcome every time. Because I struggled with my approach I tried the Qazi tools myself. You have no idea, how much better my movie is looking after using the toolkit.
Someday in my process I’m gonna make a video about it on YouTube just to show you the results and differences compared to my edits before and after using the toolkit.The look I developed now is about 70 % made with Qazi’s Tools and 30 % made with davinci build in tools. NO LUTS AT ALL. I love the Look DNA, the Skin Juice Mixer and the Saturation Control. But because I need to make sure everything I did is ready for screening in cinemas and streaming, the QT Charts are absolutely necessary.
Thank you so much for putting it out there, I really love your tools Qazi. I hope for more videos about how to use them, I would really love to see how you are using them with really difficult clips, where maybe the lighting went wrong or the skintones are really hard to fix. Greetings, Matt
ps: I uploaded 3 images from my current feature film. The same scene, one in Log, one with ARRI Luts, and one with Qazi’s Toolkit.

Like a lot of people color grading in Resolve, development of a node tree is a never-ending rabbit hole of a side hustle. Even if you have an in at a Hollywood color grading studio, like Company3, which I do, it's proprietary. It's called "secret" sauce for a reason.Now years into my switch over from Premiere to Resolve and even after picking up a node tree from Qazi, augmenting it with other peeks behind the curtain in other tutorials, and even after a one-on-one session with Qazi, I am getting pretty limber with differing methods at tackling footage and my eye is getting better at making these decisions.Enter Qazi's Toolkit. It blew it all up. I added it to the top of my node tree in series like I saw in his tutorials for these new tools and now, seldom, in fact almost never, am I doing anything in the rest of that tree. This toolkit of DCTL nodes is night and day better than what was already a vastly superior program to most other NLE programs.Simply put if you aren't running Qazi's Toolkit, it's as big a difference as what you first noticed was possible switching from Final Cut to Premiere, or Premiere to Resolve. It's that dramatically better. Get it. Do it. You won't regret it.
