Thanks you for bringing these comprehensive and high quality series of Resolve 16 video tutorial as well as the previous series.

I have noticed that when the final exported file played back from Kevin’s desktop, -lesson L27: Exporting- it suffers from the same gamma shift syndrome that has been around for years in Resolve and other NLEs.  It’s about when the exported files look low contrast and desaturated compared to Resolve Viewer or the external video reference. This is regardless if the displays are matching the calibration to specific color space output of Resolve or not, or if Resolve Video Range in the Delivery page and/or other pages is set to Auto, Video or Full range.

 It would be helpful if a Lowepost could make a video tutorial addressing the possible cause and workaround on this repeated issue. 

Thanks once again for the excellent series.

Resolve 16 has me looking at it very seriously as an option for future projects to streamline our workflow. On paper it looks like it could save a ton of time with our productions and delivery. I was hoping to see sections on shared proxy workflow vs optimized media and collaborative editing using the server, but this is a rock solid start as I've spent almost no time in the NLE side of Resolve. Thanks, I'm excited to be a member here while learning Resolve.

Hello, Thank you very much for your great work.
I have a question about the best workflow. I am under Mac OS Mojave, Mac Pro 6.1 - 2.7 GHz 12-Core Intel Xeon E5 - 64GB 1866 MHz -AMD FirePro X 2 D700 6GB
Externally connected in Thunderbird II, I have 4  NMVe SSD in RAID 0 of( 4GB) dedicated to editing under Resolve.
I also have another RAID 0 externally also Thunderbolt II or I have all the media. Can you tell me where I need to store the CacheClip, Gallery, Database... to be able to work under the best conditions

Thank you in advance for your help

Pierre-Yves

No matter how long I've used Avid or any program for that matter, I always watch a McAuliffe tut.

For which I always find myself saying "Let's tab into ______. and let's get started."

Second that Brian. Kevin was the one that got me up to speed with Avid ages ago and the best I can think of to teach editing in Resolve.

The quality of all the courses on this site is extremely high and made me cancel the subscriptions on the other Resolve learning sites months ago. Thanks Kevin and thanks Lowepost.

Really loving all these new courses. The price of membership is such good value compared to other sites and in most cases the content is better. I have learnt so much from this course.

Thanks
