@MadDog-dn5st yeah who likes learning different methods anyway? 😉 the intent was to show how things worked so you'd understand the concept and not just repeat what I show, so when you inevitably encounter a situation in your own work that slightly differs from what I'm showing, you'll have the knowledge to figure it out.

Haha the reality is I'm cheap! But for speed I do have a mouse with 12 programmable keys around the thumb area that I bought for around $50 canadian. I have 3 custom pre sets I toggle through depending on the use case, one for colour page, one for editing, and one for non resolve use. For example in the colour page this allows me with one button to: add a node, rename a node, disable a node, disable the entire node graph, etc. I also enable the printer light hotkeys to quickly adjust global values. I suspect this setup would probably work well for many people. However there are people that need something like an advanced panel as it's cost is offset by the time it saves them and their clients, but the important thing to remember is that better tools will never make someone more experienced or knowledgeable.

@@NathanCarterVids I agree with what you say but what the literally heck! I genuinely did not know any one like you using a 'type of mouse' like that before! I know gamers do that especially with keyboard, but never before did I know anyone doing editing (of any type of media) using a mouse with massive custom pre-sets and programmes. I figuratively vomit blood looking at 50 Canadian dollar mouse. I have never used one like that in my life! Even my keyboard is cheap. I am cheap as well but way cheaper than you are. Yes. I used to say similar to what you mentioned to my friend and I still say something else similar to the effect to people that having a million dollar lens and camera (body) does not mean one will make breath-taking images. My first camera is Canon A95, my friend is rich so he kept buying 'better' cameras, but my images attracted people a lot more than that of my friend's. Nothing to do with 'cinematic' nonsense. Basically no one talked about cinematic rubbish in the past. 'Influencers' wasting time with drinking coffee, frequent pause and stare, B-roll, and inferior slapstick were not a thing in the past. (These all start very likely due to how money is earned online in modern time. Need to satisfy so-called 'algorithm' in order to get paid.)

did you actually watch the video? I go in depth about how this is something you should not expect, and talk about stylized looks

I get that a lot haha.

Aside from generating/inserting images, adjusting RGB subpixels is the only way you can alter an image. Changing the colourspace you're operating in (what's shown in this video) allows you to interact with those channels/subpixels differently, but it's still just making subpixels brighter and darker. Sharpening is just altering the difference between values at "edges" where an "edge" is an area of abrupt value change. I'm not actually a huge fan of how I explained things in this video. However, I have a video where I go through some tests looking at what sharpening in resolve is doing to your image, and I think that may make things a little clearer if you want to check that out. Thanks for the feedback.

@@NathanCarterVidsYes thank you for your reply. It's very unclear to me to see results and understanding in your video. I guess it's a little above my understanding of how it really works.
