This week's live is covering questions around how saturation works and how to build a practice around what this tool can and can't do.

0:06 Introduction
3:20 Could you explain what color model does your SatShaper DCTL use for subtractive saturation?
7:20 What is the difference between using HSV color model in the color warper and putting a node into HSV?
12:10 Is there any workaround to avoid getting artifacts on your image using Gain or Gamma in HSV?
17:48 Can you explain what HDR saturation does? What does ‘’color space aware’’ mean in terms of saturation?
21:19 How can you manipulate saturation without reaching for a sat knob? What is the relationship between RGB values and saturation values?
25:06 How does the saturation compression algorithm work in the color space transform OFX? How to use it properly?
32:00 Shouldn’t saturation problems be fixed in the IDT process rather than after in the pipeline?
40:43 What do you think about using HSV to achieve a clean white look lowering the gamma and boosting the gain in the saturation channel?
47:09 What characteristics of a LUT can you recreate in Resolve using the custom curves?
53:58 Is there any way to use Lift and Offset in HSV without creating artifacts?
58:58 Why does Lift also produce artifacts when going in a negative direction?
1:00:56 Conclusion
