Resolve gives you 3 different sets of temp & tint controls: in your Primaries, HDR, and Camera RAW tabs. So which one is going to be best? None of 'em. Let me show you why and what you want to use instead if you want more accuracy, speed, and control over your images.
00:00 Should you use temp and tint for white balance?
00:40 The sneaky problem with temp and tint in the RAW tab
01:24 The mentality you should have during grading
03:32 The tool I used to be addicted to (but you shouldn't use)
06:20 "Can't you just use temp and tint in the HDR tools?"
08:10 Why the HDR tools aren't accurate
08:19 A model for thinking about your color balance adjustments
09:07 The "best tool" for white balance... that you'll rarely use
12:15 Another way the HDR temp and tint fall short
14:00 What to the 90% of the time you can't use "the best" tool
15:29 More ways to "think" to get better balance
