And Resolve has the collaboration features already in place...

You could try screen or add, those will not just replace the black, but the black will become orange.

Look at the resolve panel layouts, the buttons on the panels are some of the most used features, and see what the keyboard shortcuts for those features are.

The contrast control and the log controls are pretty recent addition, I think resolve 9 or 10. So before that you had only lift-gamma-gain and offset.

I'm using the offset-contrast-pivot in a pretty methodological way when I'm grading on my own, but I end up resorting to lift-gain when I have a client watching and things need to move fast

The yellow is replacing everything that is darker than it, in this case the whole image.

Works for me...

Is the color generators input connected to anything?

Is "use Mac display color profile for viewers" checked in Resolve, and what color profile is selected for the monitor in the OS X settings?

Thanks Jussi! Where is that node operations tree from? 

It's in the Resolve manual.

Yes, and also color boost is applied before the primary YRGB corrections, and saturation is applied after primary YRGB corrections.

Standard is 100 nits, just leave it like that.

With Aces in Resolve, I usually set the contrast to 0.7 or 0.8 to start with...

Can't you just split into two branches of corrections and blend those together with the layer mixer?

The matte clip needs to be selected from the media pool. Do you want to use the same clip for 2 layers?

Just duplicate the clip on the edit page.

you can use node tree, bring in the other clip as matte and connect to the layer mixer.

The colors are different, but with s-log -> log C transform, the tone curve will be similar (of course the quality of the files is different)

Slog3 is quite similar to log C, while slog2 is very different. I always convert slog2 to cineon, log C, or some other well behaving log.

Question about hard drives and still sequences: You can have performance issues If the frames are not written to the hard drive in a sequential order. That should not be an issue with SSD, right?

Also TV's are way over 100nits and the viewing environments can be anything...

What Doyle used on Harry Potter is the kind of spill suppression math compositors use for removing fill created by blue/green screen, but that can be used to remove other unwanted color fill as well.  So the suppression math does a better job than desaturating the unwanted color.

So the contrain LUT is a different thing...

also keeping ctrl pressed gives you half points instead of full points.

My no.1 feature request for a long time: Allow panels to be custom mapped...

One thing you can do is to manually set a pivot point for the custom curve to the same location as the pivot setting, and then you can use both contrast and the custom curve together in a consistent way.

I don't know if a raid card/sata drives is a good option for cache anymore, now that there are PCI-based drives in the market, and some motherboards directly support Raiding those drives as well.
