Color Grading Software For Potato Computer

Couple days ago i asked for video editing software recommendation for my potato laptop which runs on Core i3 350M with 3GB of RAM.

Two awesome LTT member recommended me 2 software that is WIndows Movie Maker and OpenShot which work great but sadly they cant do color grading.

And since i shoot with a smartphone (Redmi Note 8 Pro) using budget LED light as my keylight in my softbox, it cast green'ish looks on my subject.

 

So i wonder if there are any Color Grading Software that could run on my laptop, an old version of Davinci Resolve perhaps?

I would recommend DaVinci resolve, though I doubt you'd do a good job due to the laptop screen and it being old. If you can't buy a whole new computer, at least get an external monitor and calibrate it to the best of your ability. Otherwise there's no point

Either @piratemonkey or quote me when responding to me. I won't see otherwise

I see, which version would you recommend because the latest seems require a monster PC to run it

I don't know any specific versions. I'd say the last available version available for download from their website, provided you can meet the requirements

no version of reslove will run on 3gb of ram

open shot should allow color grading given you can add effects

It does but it doesnt give me a lot of option. For example, there are no histogram, color temperature, and no slider for individual color. :(

best your going to get on your laptop unless you got an external monitor that had historagms and such but given that they start at around 125-150 USD you could just build a workstation for that much

i think you are missing a few 0s in the cost

yeah what would i know about cameras or cinematography compared to you tech people.  i've only done this work for nearly 20 years, won a few awards, worked in over a dozen different countries and a few multi million dollar projects

time to upgrade the computer or get a new one.  i cant think of any nle that would run well on those specs unless its a very old version of the software but then with very old versions you can have problems of not recognizing modern codecs
