[Jonathan Reed] “thank you so much, the clients wants the brighter shot to look like the darker sit down shot. This is what they want.”
Then you are in a no-win situation, but I certainly understand the dilemma. The big issue is that you have a light source on the ceiling. You can’t simply darken the shot overall. You can make the dark portion darker. While that’s technically doable, it’s still illogical, because that same light should be casting some light onto the people sitting down. But, in any case, good luck.

That’s sort of what I thought. Thanks. Seems pretty dumb. ☺

[Michael Gissing] “However the effort to upload to the cloud compared with cloning a disk and posting it is still a major issue.”
Completely agree.

All good points. If you as the colorist have the high-res footage, then you really only need to get high-res proxies to the client. Yes, he’s selling Frame and they have good workflow integration. But, you could get the files to the client in a dozen different way.
The idea with the camera files in the cloud is it assumes that the colorist doesn’t have the high-res files in the first place. His presentation assumes that’s at the editor’s site in a different location.

First of all, I think you went in the wrong direction. Why did you darken the angle looking up at her? Don’t you want to simply brighten the two-shoot on the sofa? (This was horribly lit, BTW.)
You can certainly brighten it, but it will likely get a bit noisy. The same tools you would use in any other NLE’s color correction controls (curves and/or low/mid/high wheels and levels) would be used in Resolve as a starting point. Stay away from all automatics.

[Joe Marler] “Was the media on shared storage?”
From my earlier post:
The original edit was done from media on shared storage. Library on a local machine and media left in place. These files were archived onto different archive drives. That’s because the media isn’t associated with one single project. So the library and various media files are on several different drives. In order to make the necessary revisions at home, I have to copy all of these pieces (media and library) back onto single larger RAID. So obviously in that process, paths and volume names have all changed. Filenames are unique.
Not sure about Spotlight indexing. Certainly nothing on shared storage would be Spotlight indexed.
