DaVinci Resolve's Fusion page can sometimes produce inconsistent results in the viewers of the other Resolve pages when working in wide dynamic ranges. This video observes the behaviour of the Fusion page in 4 various color management systems and proposes solutions that are user-friendly, future-proof, and rely on tools that are already available to you in DaVinci Resolve. --- Table of Contents: Introduction - 00:07 Purpose of the video - 00:17 Challenges of Fusion color management - 01:25 My intentions: 02:44 Project setup - 04:03 Template - 04:57 Part 1: No Resolve Color Management - 07:00 (3 mins) No RCM - external monitor - 08:55 No RCM - quick summary - 11:10 (22 secs) Part 2: SDR Color Management - 11:32 (13 mins) Mapping sRGB to Linear - 12:43 Checking the accuracy of the Color Space Transform - 15:26 Fusion/Edit page mismatch - 17:01 Solution #1: Edit Page CST - 17:47 Solution #2: Fusion Page CST - 19:11 SDR RCM - external monitor - 22:14 Non-automatic SDR projects - 22:58 SDR RCM - quick summary - 24:49 (1 min) Part 3: HDR/DWG Color Management - 25:49 (14 mins) Bypass Color Management - 27:21 HDR/DWG demo setup - 29:50 HDR/DWG Fusion monitoring - 31:09 Single node solution - 33:55 HDR/DWG RCM - external monitor - 36:08 Fusion ‘upscaling’ for DWG - 36:33 HDR/DWG RCM - quick summary - 39:51 (1.5 mins) Part 4: ACES Color Mangement - 41:14 (11 mins) Bypass Color Management - 43:48 ACES Fusion monitoring - 44:51 ACES - external monitor - 47:26 Fusion ‘upscaling’ for ACES - 48:41 Alternative CST when ‘upscaling’ - 51:11 ACES - quick summary - 52:05 (1 min) Conclusion - 53:13 --- Narrated and edited by Daria Fissoun Please find the documentation for this video here: (I am still in the process of writing it up.
