I think curves would likely work better than linear fall-off. It’s easier to change, say, the color of a shirt in the Hue vs curves than in HSL, probably because the falloff is smoother an d easier to control as it uses curves.
To those who say changing a shirt color, for example, should be VFX and is not part of grading: I say 1998 is over. People expect the color session to be able to affect all things color, and being able to pull clean secondaries is very much part of that.
I also agree that the sat controls seem almost broken and do not work as expected at all.
Overall, I would prefer slower but better performance – the expectation of pure 100% realtime is no longer there – tapedeck days are over – it doesn’t really matter. Just give me quality. Maybe give me a “high render” option on the HSL that would be slower but cleaner?

Not all displays float white nor black much at all. In the case of a VT25 (with last firmware), VT30 or VT50, the amount is tiny, and perceptually pretty much invisible.
Some other consumer displays do this way too much, and, you are right, should not be used for grading.

Indeed they are gone. Also, client expectations are much higher. You hear things like “change that shirt color” often, and they want it to look perfect every time.

+1 on Sasha’s suggestion. If on a budget, the Wave is great too.

Get a DVI switcher from Monoprice – switch per application.

But networks still often request Prores as a deliverable, and none refuse it (among those who accept file-based final output – which is most these days, soon all.)

hey there “Old Ben Kenobi” No, we just want to have each instance of any Red Clip have its own settings internally within Resolve. Forget metadata. No need to re-save metadata, or deal with it at all. I would mention that Premiere and Afters Effects can do this already, and that in these softs you can chose any Redcode Settings version you want and click on a “save as metadata” button – but it doesn’t affect any of the instances on the timeline, it just affects the clip for when you re-load it it some other software, or within Premiere if you chose to use the metadata rather than the custom settings.
I think the way Resolve deals with this is a bit old-school.

Yes, OFX would make more sense. As long as I can qualify it…

I did. I replied by saying that pursuing that avenue within Resolve was using the wrong tool for the wrong application, as did the other poster. I don’t see how that’s useless.
You can save your own pre-made grades as Powergrades, but thats’ in the manual.
By my hourly rate, I meant potentially yours too, by learning to be just as fast with a more hands-on, hand-crafted approach.
Since you’re so rude, don’t worry, I won’t bother next time. Likely neither will many others in this forum.
BTW – there are some nice shots on your reel (very nice even), maybe if you were less rude, you would be famous by now.

How good is the tracker in Smoke?
Which control surfaces are supported?
It is very expensive still no?
