This week's live is covering questions around your cheat code for color management in Resolve and upgrading your apple display monitor.
Grab the Color Management Cheat Sheet: https://procolor.ist/color-management-cheat-sheet/
Grab the macOS Viewing Transform from the video to unlock your Apple display:

Get on the waitlist for this year's final round of my color grading course, the Colorist Career Accelerator (happening mid-October):

*IMPORTANT NOTE*: This video will NOT provide a fix for the "gamma shift" problem of images looking different after export than they did while grading. This is a separate issue from getting an accurate image during the grading process, and one we'll cover in more detail soon!

8:24 How do I know what color space does my monitor support?
13:08 How does resolve relate to the ICC profile in your calibration?
15:32 Can I use the workflow you explained in your video if I have a non Mac monitor connected to my Mac device?
16:27 What function does the color and gamma tag have in the export tab in Resolve?
22:43 Should I see the same result if I calibrate one display to REC709 and another to sRGB?
27:01 What’s the difference between using REC709 / Gamma 2.4 and REC709 / Gamma 2.2 for delivery across all platforms?
30:00 If you calibrate a monitor to REC709 / Gamma 2.4 that’s going to a video IO device to bypass color sync would you still do a separate export for web in Gamma 2.2?
35:27 Is there a reason to not put the viewing LUT on the timeline rather than at the Output LUT setting in color management options?
42:25 Does color management help with problem footage errors, such as banding?
43:38 Can you grade HDR if your laptop monitor supports HDR natively such as the newer MacBook Pro?
48:00 Does any camera still capture REC709 / Gamma 1.96 or is Apple just following legacy specs?
50:17 HDR doesn’t look more natural to me, instead it makes the images look more artificial. Why is that?
55:00 Do you have any resources on how to calibrate your monitor?
57:26 Is there any inherent benefit of doing color management in nodes rather than at the project level?
1:01:28 Conclusion
