Without a doubt one of the best series on Davinci Resolve I’ve experienced. And I’m so grateful. Thank you all for producing them. I’m able to use the things I’ve learned immediately in my day to day editing and coloring.

Our pleasure! Stay tuned for more 🙌🏻

Thanks for the series - I really struggle to find interest in color grading but I know it's necessary. These videos helped me gain some understanding and interest in this area. It's tough because some of the changes are so subtle it makes me wonder if i'm even doing anything.

3:45 My preferred way is to make my Output CST a Shared Node that I use across all groups 👍🏾

[@motionvfx]

Thanks for sharing!🙌🏻

[@gerki_fpv]

Great Video, learned so much! Thank you for that!

[@motionvfx]

You are more than welcome ✌🏻

[@SaschaBucher]

Thanks for the tip! For a long time I was looking for a solution to perform color grading only for the video clip and leave the Fusion elements untouched. Now I no longer have to integrate Fusion and the video clip separately in the timeline.

[@motionvfx]

Happy to hear that! Stay tuned for the upcoming tutorials 🫶🏻
