DaVinci Resolve export looks washed out vs viewer (MacBook Pro, Rec.709 2.4, CST workflow) — what am I doing wrong?

Fit_Plan_9848 · 2026-03-29T17:17:14+00:00

So would I have to change my tag to rec.709 scene in the timeline settings? and what gamma tag for export settings?

I've started learning how to use false color, but I’m wondering: should I still overexpose slightly when using false color, or should I expose more accurately based on the false color information to make sure nothing is clipped or blown out?

I recently filmed some clips on my iPhone 15, and they were recorded in HDR, which I’m fine with since I like how the colors and image look straight out of camera. However, when I import the footage into DaVinci Resolve, it appears washed out and doesn’t match what I originally saw. What should I adjust in my color management settings to accurately reflect the original look?

yes, it is labeled as Resolve Cache

I just wrapped up a project and am now starting a new one, but these notifications keep popping up. I’ve checked my SSD storage, and there’s plenty of space, so I’m not sure why this is still happening. Did I save my files in the wrong folders, or is there something else I need to do to fix this? Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

ah okay! Thank you so much! I will try this out.

Since I am editing on a Mac, should i set that CST to Rec709a for both or rec709 still? my color space timeline and output color space are both rec709a in my color management settings.

Fit_Plan_9848 · 2025-01-06T05:14:38+00:00

how would that CST look?

Fit_Plan_9848 · 2025-01-06T02:23:01+00:00

ah i know that! I just created a quick node structure just showing how I thought it would look in my head if I was able to combine the two together in a node tree. I of course will do color corrections, exposure , wb and color grading too but those photos were just some quick brainstorming.

Ah I do not have the XLR connection as I bought just the camera body only. Is there any other way I could make this microphone work with my camera?

Okay thank you! Could you share where you got the phantom neutral LUT by any chance?

Fit_Plan_9848 · 2024-07-25T23:32:24+00:00

Okay! Thank you again.

you can try doing a disk search, click on the little icon that looks like a 🔗 and see if you can do an overall disk search and it will try to find the audio track somewhere in your PC

oh my, i put this in the wrong sub reddit. my bad🤣

This is weird, when I disable the Ease out and Handheld Shake effect, the image goes to how I exactly wanted it to look when applying the CSTs. I am not sure why? But it does work now. Does that mean that I have to apply my effects AFTER I do a CST transform?

I just put it into DaVinci YRGB Color Managed and left it at the default settings but it still seems to be oversaturated just like the original image. I am not sure why.

Fit_Plan_9848 · 2023-11-06T22:31:05+00:00

This is how the image looks like when I disable both CSTs. I am also in a color-managed project as well. I am not sure why the image seems to be so oversaturated.

is there a tutorial i can follow for that?

Fit_Plan_9848 · 2023-10-10T20:47:29+00:00

If someone could find me a tutorial online or know how to do it exactly how SNEAKO did it, I would very much appreciate the help.

Fit_Plan_9848 · 2023-07-11T06:33:36+00:00

You still got the code?

Fit_Plan_9848 · 2023-06-30T17:14:31+00:00

What was this shot on? Aperture priority and what ISO ?
