Quick Question (Color FX Room)
As I understand there is no place in Resolve comparable to Color’s FX Room. So, how would I replicate looks that I achieved in the FX in Resolve?

I think you would have to be more specific. There are a lot of different nodes in Color’s FX tab, and lots of different effects can be achieved in Resolve in different ways. There’s no 1 to 1 translation between the two tools.

Sorry to be vague but that was kinda on purpose. I just wanted to know if stuff like stacking blend modes can be achieved like they can be in Color’s FX room

Blend modes are available on the timeline, so you could take the same clip and layer it on top of itself on different tracks, apply different corrections to each layer and set them to different blending modes. Perhaps not elegant, but doable.
Most everything else I can think of can be done with the regular node tree.

The best way to think about it, coming from color, is to imagine that everything in resolve is in a better version of the color fx room. If you need to put two pieces of a mask together you’ve got your key mixer, etc…
It took me a bit to get my head around it, ( about a month to translate everything and then another 4 months to realize how utterly limiting color was in the first place.) but then I had a background in node based compositing with shake.
Once you grok the nodes, you won’t miss the wonky color fx room, I think. I could be wrong as I hated the color fx room, coming from a shake background.

Resolve is one big Color FX room. It is node based and not only that but you can apply everything in any order you desire with parameters that are much more complete.
