The Digital Intermediate (DI) course introduces students to the creative and technical processes that shape a film’s final visual identity. From colour theory, correction, and grading to conforming, colour management, and platform-specific delivery, students learn how images are refined for cinema, television, and streaming. Through guided colour-grading exercises using specialised tools and established DI workflows, students build the skills required to collaborate with directors, cinematographers, and editors. The course builds a strong foundation for entry-level roles in colour finishing, DI assistance, and on-set imaging.

Baselight is considered widely used for high-end colour grading and DI workflows for high-end color grading and DI work, built on strong color science alongside its grading toolset. It's used for raw format handling across Sony, RED, ARRI, Blackmagic cameras, and both manual/automatic conform via EDL and XML. This is what is used in professional feature-film finishing workflows.
Still listed among the core toolset in professional DI studios alongside DaVinci Resolve, Baselight, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro X.
Not directly quoted above, but referenced by the same industry veteran as a serious competitor: its XML architecture is considered particularly powerful, making it a common choice where flexible metadata/conform handling matters.
Build a foundation in colour management, LUT workflows, conforming, and image enhancement. Through practical sessions, you will develop the critical skills required to begin as a DI or colour-grading assistant, junior colourist, or on-set DIT, through practical sessions and complete colour-grading projects independently. Become familiar with professional post-production environments and gain confidence to fulfil advanced colour-finishing roles in film, television, commercials, and digital media.
