For those who had this sorted out before but are back to the old problem: After recent updates you have to change the colorspace inside of the TIMELINE SETTINGS which overwrite whatever you have set in your project settings. If its a graded project put a color space transform effect on your entire timelime (input "rec.709" - output "use timeline") et voila
Great catch but for people who are new like myself at this, voila for which one? Do I change "Input" gamma or "input" color space?... and vice versa for output? Do i just rec 709 the whole CST options? lol thanks
Mate, I've been struggling with this for months now, endlessly tweaking color management settings, and the solution was just a couple of clicks away! Thanks, this is a life saver!!!
Crazy how we actually have to learn the science of this stuff to do a good job. All that information in the inspector of a file is worth understanding. Like bitrates. That took me years before I learned. I didn't need 100GB files upon export...
I ran out of words. I have had a problem with this for many years. I never quite had control over the color ... until today. I believe in people thanks to such films. ⚡️
For those that find this after color grading an entire project, you can simply apply a color space transform to the entire timeline set to Rec 709-A gamma to Rec 709 Gamma. You'll have to play around with the adaptation slider. Applying a gamma adjustment of -.05 also seemed to work pretty well.
Can you explain this further? I mean in regards to input/out space and gamma - I'm trying but I won't convert to my original grade. I can't set it from 709-A to 709, only the other way around, on the one node on one clip, which also begs the question how to applt to the entrie timeline?
@@emil4226Change the Clip - Timeline slider to Timeline. Add a Color Space Transform Effect. Change input gamma to Rec 709-A. And output gamma to Rec 709. Mess with the adaptation slider until it looks right. Somewhere around 14 should get you going in the right direction.
@@wright96d I'm a bit confused here. So, I graded a little project, exported and put on TH-cam. Looks horrible. I found and followed the tutorial in this video and your guide to fixing an already graded project. But if I add a color space transform from Rec.709-A to Rec.709 on the timeline, it looks like it just doubles the problem and washes out the colours even more. Does that make sense? Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
@@wright96d Thanks. Yes, I already tried that, and it does of course look better. I still had issues after export, but that may have been something else, then. I'll give it another go one of the next days. If I can avoid grading it all again, it's worth a few hours of tinkering.
Thank you! Guys, what has helped me to correct an already finished project: Add an adjustment clip for the whole timeline, add a Color Space Transform Node -> Input Color Space: Rec.709 // Input Gamma: Rec.709 // Output Color Space: Rec.709 // Output Gamma: Rechnung.709-A
I don’t think you understand how grateful I am that you had posted this!!! A whole Literal year of just bumping my SAT just so I can match it to what I originally wanted in my timeline. Thank you!
OMG - this has fixed many years headache! What I would recommend is keeping to REC709A as suggested in Project Settings but set your Gamma to 2.4..and ensure you have Rec709 and Gamma 2.4 in the delivery advanced settings as well.
Can't thank you enough for uploading! Resolve should "recognise" somehow the MAC and set this by default. It's depressing when you think you where trying your best to color grade and you where color grading everything wrong because of what was presenting on the monitor.
I found out last month after struggling for 5 years. I wonder why it has never been a bigger issue on TH-cam. Anyhow thank's for this tutorial. It helped a lot off people. Still it is a problem with color managed settings like Wide Gamut and/or ACES. Cheers
Yes, that has bugged me for some time in the past as well. I used to do it the harder way - while editing, my timeline color space as P3, and before the export I would change it back to Rec709. Had pretty similar results, but your approach looks to be more methodical, and skips the uneeded color space change before the export. Thank you
Thank you SO much for this!! You saved me! I'm very much a beginner and have been searching and searching for the answer. So many comments in forums I found online were unkind to beginners and nobody explained it like you did. I'm SO GRATEFUL!! Thank you!
dear lord, i've been struggling with this for literally years. Thank you! This finally works! After exporting it works fine in my mac's quicktime, works fine in my iphone and when i upload to instagram as well.
I can't thank you enough! I got a brand new m1 MacBook Air for editing in DaVinci Resolve and I almost switched to FCPX for video editing as the colours were so inconsistent! THANK YOU!!! You've got a new subscriber!
Had a big project and gave it one more (week long) shot at fixing it after grading.. ended up with a complicated mess of added "corrections" to make the output look like my grading. Back than i figured out that the fix needs to happen before grading but didnt look back into it. Thanks for sharing this info! Its exactly what i would have needed to figure out before my next big project!
Holyyyy crap dude!! I've been struggling with this for a year and a half. One of the main reasons I switched to davinci resolve in the first place. Cause it was happening in premiere too, but worse. So I took the lesser of 2 evils. This finally solved the problem!
Been struggling with this all YEARRRR! You saved my ass and no more frustration on my end! THANKS SO MUCH! If you thumbs downed this video... REALLY?? My man is a legend.
What works for me is Color Space Tag - P3-DCI & Gamma Tag - SRGB Had been trying to sort this for so long and after playing with random combinations got something that worked
Dude, you have no idea what you've just resolved for me... no pun intended, Resolve was driving me crazy with this one downside to it... YOU SOLVED IT!!! Thank you for generously sharing it and making life easy for so many who have suffered just like this.
Thank you so much! I had the same issue in premiere pro, so I moved to DaVinci and when I first saw my render from it, it was as washed out as it was after Premiere, so I felt like this is the end.. But your video saved me so much headache, I am so happy haha
Thank you! Finally - so tired of being told by so called "experts" that it was all because I didn't have a bajillion dollars reference monitor (which makes zero logical sense).
Holy shit this finally fixed the issue... thank you so much. Every place kept saying "just switch in deliver tab to full" and that was not the answer at all.
Thank you, I just purchased a Mac mini and ran into this problem. I have an Asus ProArt which is calibrated by Calman so I was shock when I my colors were off. This definitely helps.
Thank you!!!!!!!! Saved my bacon here! Did a test render of a section of the timeline, mainly to check audio, after grading and had this problem. Black magic should explain this! Thank you again!
incredible how something that simple can work that effectively! I have an external grading monitor and this was still the way to go... great work, thanks! :D
This fixed it for me thanks. Premier and Resolve looked exactly the same! THEN...I updated to the latest update and colors look all weird again. I just don't think Resolve wants us to use premier.
Liked and subscribed....Based on this one video - SO many offer solutions which don't *actually* solve the issue - They either change gamma or colour on export anyway! This may initially change your grade, but so far, the final grade I export gives the same look as the one in the editor - None of the others are colour and gamma accurate. Good work for doing it succinctly (even if others may have alluded to it, they didn't say it simply)
So many answers on this. I’m on MacBook pro 16max and so many opinions. yRGB COLOR managed is what they say. Then wide gammut I also heard go color managed followed by sdr 709 then output at srgb But you’ve not selected Yrgb color managed. Interesting.
Brother, thank you for your pain (and for fixing mine!). I've been struggling with this trying a tone of different settings, now I'm set. Thank you so much!
Great Video and you saved my workflow! I was having this issue for every video I exported. i don't have the money to spend on a calibrated monitor and things like that, but thanks for this! Subscribed!
This solved my contrast issue, but the colors on my exports are still off. Has anyone else experienced this? For example, blue is more purple. Thank you for this video!
I could literally kiss you lol. Been wrestling with this for months. I had my timeline and export settings set and it was still off and I was losing my mind.

Amazing help! Quick note tho, remember to restart Davinci Resolve after changing these settings, otherwise they don't take effect
I understand now why people complain so much about FCPX. This makes total sense, very intuitive.
I've gone through many videos, this is the first that actually made youtube, quicktime and the viewer the same. Thanks.
A pleasure! Loads more tips coming soon
im doing something wrong, i do these same steps but for some reason youtube still makes it look worse with more contrast
I found out last month after struggling for 5 years. I wonder why it has never been a bigger issue on TH-cam.

Same here!
I switched camera brand due to this😅
Absolutely legend!!! It took me 1,5 year to come up with this solution from you. It was such a frustration to colorgrade blindfolded...
These settings worked to solve my problem on why my rendered videos were darker than the DaVinci viewer. Thank you!
I too am extremely grateful for this tutorial, I have paid good $$ for online courses that have not provided this critical information. Thank you!
Dang I wish I knew this before I delivered to the client and uploaded to YT. Better late than never, thank you!

Did this and worked almost perfectly. When I watch it on my phone the brightness of the video isnt a bit duller. But overall great video
Life saver. Can't believe Resolve doesn't have this as a default option.
"Same as project: I wouldn't recommend it." Ha ha, I totally get you.
Thanks for the tips!

I have no idea whats going on but you saved me thanks. that was confusing the hell out of me, everywhere things looked so different
Great video, export Color Tag and Gamma to rec 709 was the biggest fix for me
You are my hero. A problem for years is solved 🎉❤
this is the ultimate solution. i have tried calibrating, changing it to full data levels, they still looked different. this is the way. thanks a lot.
Thank you so much! I had the same issue in premiere pro, so I moved to DaVinci and when I first saw my render from it, it was as washed out as it was after Premiere, so I felt like this is the end.. But your video saved me so much headache, I am so happy haha
Thanks man. I had this problem and although someone helped set my system I didn't quite fully get it till I just watched your video. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! First time using Resolve for me and I was very disappointed until I found your video
Thank you! Finally - so tired of being told by so called "experts" that it was all because I didn't have a bajillion dollars reference monitor (which makes zero logical sense).
Holy shit this finally fixed the issue... thank you so much. Every place kept saying "just switch in deliver tab to full" and that was not the answer at all.
struggling with this problem since 2018, thank you very much!
Now the color is correct in davinci, quicktime and youtube (Most important).
THANK YOU, MATE! I gave up 2 years ago and now found this video :)
WOW my goodness after so much searching around, this is the one video that actually helped me resolve this isue. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Please share the video! It’s so annoying not knowing how to fix this. Glad it’s helped
ohh my goodness thank you SO much. I have been googling this problem for DAYS.
I love you! I was about getting crazy with all the settings changes of the past weeks to get the look I wanted. Much appreciated!
Thank you soooooo much, it drove me nearly crazy, grading forever for nothing. Yeeessss that rocks and works perfekt!! Thanks so much!
Great video, thanks for this! Just noticed the colours were off and your video was the first I found, lifesaver.
mate. you have saved me so much anguish. thank you.
Thank you, I just purchased a Mac mini and ran into this problem. I have an Asus ProArt which is calibrated by Calman so I was shock when I my colors were off. This definitely helps.
What model of Proart are you using amd how good is it from Eizo CG series?
Excellent and clear. No fuss. Stated the issue, provided a fix. Nice work.
Absolute lifesaver THANK YOU!! Worked like a dream - you have no idea how helpful haha
Perfect! I use Resolve Studio 18 on a MacBook Air M1 and these settings are exactly what I need! Great video, thanks!
Finally something really helpful and short... Thank you so much for that!
Thank BM team, they finally did something about it.
Thank you!!!!!!!! Saved my bacon here! Did a test render of a section of the timeline, mainly to check audio, after grading and had this problem. Black magic should explain this! Thank you again!
thanks for the help, sad i have to re colour correct and grade but atleast now everything is as appears!! bless

Amazing!!!! I just started using DaVinci, and was bummed out. Thank you!!!!

Thank you very much, I was also very confused and frustrated
GRACIAS!!!!!!!! Thanks man! I can't believe I solved that extremely annoying issue! I can't thank you enough! Subscribed and now following
Thanks so much... you took away my headaches everytime I color my videos and photos. Very clear instructions. Thumbs up!
thank you! I was really frustrated by this. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this!
Any update for Resolve 18? I cannot find the "Use Mac display color profiles for viewers" option any more.
Thank you so much for this man. I've been struggling with this for years.
Wow, if this will work, I will celebrate it for 3 days straight!!! 🙏
Great Video and you saved my workflow! I was having this issue for every video I exported. i don't have the money to spend on a calibrated monitor and things like that, but thanks for this! Subscribed!
Greatest video on TH-cam.
thank you so much! as a new resolve user, this was so confusing for me as to why my footage was washed out when I exported!
Thank you so much for this - I've been pulling my hair our with this since I got my MB M1 Max, it was infuriating but this has solved it!
perfect, thanks a lot! Makes my new work as a content creator in my company much easier now - from scratch on :))
Finally! Thanks a lot for that, it was making me nuts. Nice channel by the way!
This solved my contrast issue, but the colors on my exports are still off. Has anyone else experienced this? For example, blue is more purple. Thank you for this video!
HALLELUJAH!!!!!
Thank you sooooo much - this was killing me but you fixed it!
Thank you so much, I got so much issues with this problem, you made my day 🙏🏼❤
OMG I have had this problem for 3 years! This is brilliant. Thanks so much 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Amazing! Thanks for sharing. Was looking for this and it worked!
Thank you so much for this mate. Helped me so much with my current project!
this changed everything for me. thank you so much!!
Amazing, been struggling with this for a long time!!
Not all heroes wear capes..... You are a hero!
I could literally kiss you lol. Been wrestling with this for months. I had my timeline and export settings set and it was still off and I was losing my mind.
Just started with davinci. This is a life saver!
oh! man, this is really helpful ! finally I can fix this problem.
Thank you so much! This has solved my color problem. Thank you for sharing!
