So I'm going to ask, I work with the BlackMagic pocket cinema camera 4K and the color management through the Nod, I mean, dragging the Color Space Transform to the Nod, will open different options within each part of the menu below, 1st Input Color Space? 2nd Input Gamma? 3° Output Color Space? 4th Output Gamma? The question is, to extract the best of the camera's color science, what is the setting that would be chosen for the options presented by the Color Space Transforms?
Thanks for checking out the video! Let me see if I can provide a little insight for your CST nodes: The input CST node at the start of your node tree would be Input color space will be whatever you decided to shoot with in camera, so yours will likely be "Blackmagic Design 4k video Gen 3" Input Gamma would also be what you decided to shoot in camera, I'm guessing "Blackmagic Design 4k film" Output Color Space would be "Davinci Wide Gamut" Output Gamma would be "Davinci Intermediate" At the end of your node tree you'll need an output CST node that take you from Davinci EG/INtermediate into Rec 709 Input Color Space "Davinci Wide Gamut" Input Gamma "Davinci Intermediate" Output CS "Rec 709" Output Gamme "Gamme 2.4" Hope this help a bit! The CSTs are there as a way to tell Resolve the path you want your footage to take from it's original camera space to it's final display space. Kep that in mind as you build your CST nodes and you should be set!
Hi! Ive just discovered your channel, and i see you have a Mac, i have problems with my Mac when exporting in DaVinci, color shifts a bit when exporting, in your preferences, in general, do you have set Mac profile for viewers? Or do you know why this is happening? Thanks!
Hey thanks for commenting! You're not along in this, the tough part is that there are a handful of variants that are out of our control that may contribute to this problem. For example, exporting from Resolve and viewing in Quicktime on Apple computers results in a color shift that we have to live with for the time being! (I know, its unfortunate!) I hear rumors of a being able to export in Rec 709-A to help correct that issue but I don't know that I would recommend it, simply because I don't know enough about it. Another color shift out of our control is the way different platforms will interpret our images (TH-cam, IG, Vimeo, etc). The best thing we can do is control what we can control, which is our reference monitors and grading environment. If we can work from a solid foundation, hopefully the variations amongst things out of our control is minimized! Sorry this wasn't more helpful! I'm plagued by the same issue myself! :)
If you're grading on your mac and are not using a reference monitor, set your ODT to P3-D65 and gamma 2.2 instead of the rec 709. The problem often is Resolve is the Resolve viewer is sending out a 709 2.4 signal, but your mac is displaying p3D65 and gamma 2.2. Just be sure to switch your ODT to rec 709 gamma 2.4 before you export. And speaking of export... You need to consider where your video will be viewed. If it's going to web, export 709 gamma 2.2 instead of 2.4. And you can try applying the Rec709-A for the gamma tag in your export settings for it to play correctly in Quicktime (though you might need 2.4 for quicktime with the 709-A tag).
I’ve found the group CSTs really helpful for organizing/interpreting footage at more “global” level. This provides the ability to, say, change to output from Rec 709 to P3 much easier than having to do so for every clip. There are a few other reasons similar it helps with but that’s my thinking behind it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Appreciate the hype! 🔥

I think old workflow easy use color management only. not make a group for cst
