Grades changing by themselves?
Hey guys,
Been lurking around here for a while now, it has been a great source of information. Thanks for all the help you’ve unknowingly given me so far. It’s much appreciated.
The reason for my post is this. . .
Lately I’ve been loading Resolve projects to find that the grades have changed, in a way, they have become corrupted. Some nodes will have been radically altered, they will look all blown out and basically need to be done all over again. The node structure seems to be intact though. I don’t see any rhyme or reason to it. I can’t see any correlations between a particular project type, resolution, format. . .I am at a loss.
Has anybody seen this particular issue before? It’s driving me nuts. . .
It’s been happening with native 5DMKII h.264, ProRes & RED Epic footage.
I’m running Resolve 8.1.1 with a Tangent panel – OSX10.6.8 – iMac i7 3.4ghz – 16gb RAM – 2gb ATI Radeon HD 6970M.
Anyway, I really hope you might be able to shed some light on this for me.
Thanks very much in advance.

Are the clips long takes and spread across the timeline? Can it in fact be that you’ve graded clip 1, while clip 50 and 62 actually was based on the same source file, but you haven’t gone back and seen what it’s done to the two other clips?
Might sound weird for asking this if you already know about it. But that thing drove me nuts the first few days with Resolve last summer, coming from Color.

Did you put any nodes in the Track layer? This gets applied after the Clip grades, and hence could affect everything.

Hey Ola,
Thanks for the reply mate.
No, each file was an individual source clip, no shared or linked grades are the culprit.

Hey Rohit. Thanks for getting back…
No grades on the track… :S everything is applied at a clip level.

Have you used any LUTS on those clips?
If you have used any luts that may have gone missing since or been deleted can cause your grades to shift.
May be a long shot but it happened to me before so it’s worth checking!
Hope this helps,

Did you happen to upgrade Resolve since those projects were worked on?
I had something similar happen to me after upgrading to 8. I opened up an old project and noticed that a particular shot’s grade was messed up. It was a shot that had a lot of masks combining through a key mixer node and the way the masks were mixing when I opened it was wrong. Other than that everything was fine.
Just my 2 cents.
