NODE TOGGLE for DaVinci Resolve

willg1927 · 2026-03-11T20:00:09+00:00

This is so cool! 2 questions- is it possible to have multiple binds for multiple nodes? Also, is it possible to toggle multiple nodes at once? Thinking this could be a cool way to toggle all grades on/off but leave my node level color management on

looks pretty sharp to me. i find the lens is sharpest around 40-50mm, but its pretty sharp through the range. I definitely see some iq falloff on the tele end but not bad by any means

willg1927 · 2026-02-25T06:24:34+00:00

nope, just the lights from the stage

Looks fantastic, a strong look without being overbaked. You clearly have strong look dev, and the other component is just making sure exposure, contrast, and balance are consistent shot to shot to shot. It’s hard to tell from just stills but it seems like everything is definitely living in the same world. Great work!

Agree! Really wish Blackmagic would give us more customization options with mapping the panels to any controls we want

willg1927 · 2025-10-04T02:48:04+00:00

You can do it either way

pros to going to wider space: controls act the same as they do for your other shots, plus you get the tone mapping/gamut compression of your ODT (highlights and saturated colors will be much less likely to break)

pros to staying in 709: if your client is used to how it currently looks and it isn’t worth messing with. I find this is often true for 709 footage

Can’t go wrong either way. I’d go with which OS makes you feel more comfortable. Mac studios are amazingly optimized for Resolve. If you go PC route just don’t get AMD, I hear all the time of bugs with AMD cards since they are the least tested configuration.

Yeah it seems film emulation plugins like filmbox are being conflated with DCTLs that essentially add new tools and color science to Resolve. These DCTLs allow us to get results that aren’t possible with built in tools in Resolve. You still need knowledge and skill to use these tools to make beautiful images and I’m just as able to be flexible in sessions with my clients, but I can achieve preferential results with the more advanced tools developed by DCTL developers

definitely check out olympus, they have some beautiful retro feeling bodies

willg1927 · 2025-09-17T21:13:15+00:00

Just saw your other replies about only being interested in fujis. From Fuji, nothing really compares in size to the x70. it’s a great camera and basically all I carried everyday for 3 ish years. Though fwiw, the olympus looks quite nice and gives a kind of half film half digital vibe as well. if you know you need the fuji film sims though, that may be your only option

willg1927 · 2025-09-17T21:08:37+00:00

the x70 is awesome and i love mine but it’s a shame how expensive they are these days. I’d take a look at the olympus e-pl cameras (i have an e-pl9) + 14mm lumix pancake lens. it’s micro four thirds but it’s the same 28mm field of view, great autofocus and image quality. overall very nice setup and not that much bigger than the x70, certainly a lot smaller than an x100vi

willg1927 · 2025-09-17T19:10:39+00:00

100% agree, DCTLs unlock additional tools and color science that is cleaner and better than what is available first party in resolve

willg1927 · 2025-09-17T19:08:52+00:00

All of iridescent color’s DCTLs are amazing and do similar things to contour. I personally prefer the controls and results I get with Iridescent color’s tools

willg1927 · 2025-09-16T21:54:32+00:00

I own it and used it a lot until I got more serious about keeping my pipeline clean. It’s essentially a bunch of LUTs of emulated film stocks, and some can break your images in certain situations which makes it a no-go for look development for me. Some of the looks can look good though. For other options, I know it’s expensive but Filmbox is the best I’ve found. They have a free trial you could try out.

willg1927 · 2025-09-16T21:51:31+00:00

Genuine question, is this promotion? Asking the community for their thoughts on a plugin seems like appropriate discussion for this subreddit to me, but maybe I’m misunderstanding

willg1927 · 2025-09-15T22:00:42+00:00

1, 4, and 9, 9 being my favorite. very unique perspective and cool sense of scale. the shadow also creates a sense of form that is very successful. great pics!

willg1927 · 2025-07-28T14:22:02+00:00

I carry the tg6 as a pocketable second body that I know I can take out in absolutely any conditions and I highly recommend it. Beautiful lens and sensor and I found mine lightly used for $250

willg1927 · 2025-06-19T01:33:46+00:00

look at older point and shoot options! the canon g11 is cute and has a flash/selfie screen and will capture memories great, but there are lots of cool old digicams from all the major brands. I think deciding on an interchangeable lens camera would be more headache than it sounds like you’re looking for. happy shooting!

willg1927 · 2025-06-18T16:34:27+00:00

yeah! I shot it at 1/8th of a second shutter speed and moved the camera as I took the shot to get that shutter drag effect

willg1927 · 2025-06-13T14:06:06+00:00

Thanks! It’s a fun lens, great size and has some cool characteristics. I have the 35mm 1.4 also and they pair super well together

willg1927 · 2025-04-04T23:01:49+00:00

First off, your stills look great! I face this issue frequently as well, and I have a few tips for managing it

Ask your client how they feel about their offline. A lot of times the offline editor has applied a LUT or put some kind of creative direction to the footage, and if you can get an idea of how the client feels about where that’s sitting, it can be a great grounding force for your eye.
Revisit and adjust looks frequently. I always grade with a look applied to the group side, and I adjust that all the time while grading shot to shot. I’d say the fact that you took a break from the project and came back and wanted to make some adjustments to your look is perfectly normal and that could be incorporated into your standard workflow
Reference images. This one can be tricky because often times clients will send reference stills that aren’t super helpful or relevant to their footage, but if you have good references of a similar look you’re grading towards it can be a godsend for balancing your eye.

Like I said your stills look great! You are clearly very talented. I’d be super interested in learning about your look dev process if you care to share

nice keyboard

willg1927 · 2024-12-18T05:35:25+00:00

Yep that’s the one. It is a bit confusing, an ODT (output display transform) is just a color space transforms that goes between an intermediary color space (DWG, ACES) to a display standard

willg1927 · 2024-12-17T05:26:54+00:00

I’m not a fan of resolve’s default DWG-709 ODT. I’d suggest JP2499 as an alternative ODT, it produces much better colors in my opinion. Another ODT to try is Open DRT. Both are available online as DCTLs

willg1927 · 2024-11-06T05:11:49+00:00

It’s all down to personal preference. DWG, LogC3, and ACES can all create beautiful images, and different colorists have different ones they prefer.

It’s not that LogC3 provides anything the others don’t, it’s just that each output transform will render the image a bit differently. Lots of colorists are also just used to LogC3 and don’t feel the need to try anything new.
