TIP: If your monitor is calibrated differently, you need to select a LUT
that matches your calibration.
Whether you use the Gamut View LUT or a LUT for your specific monitor calibration, you can
save the viewer setup as the default.
To Save the Gamut LUT setup as the default viewer setup:
Right-click in the viewer, and then choose Settings > Save Defaults.
For every comp, the viewer will now be preconfigured based on the saved defaults.
For more information on Viewer LUTs, see Chapter 58 “Using Viewers” in the DaVinci Resolve
manual or Chapter 7 in the Fusion Studio manual.
Using Resolve Color Management
If you’re using the Fusion page within Davinci Resolve, you have the option of enabling
DaVinci Resolve’s scene-referred color management, instead of inserting Gamut and
CineonLog nodes. When DaVinci YRGB Color Managed (RCM) is enabled, the color of MediaIn
nodes in the Fusion page is handled differently. The RCM Timeline color space setting is used
for all MediaIn nodes in the Fusion page, which then automatically get converted to linear
gamma. The MediaOut node then gets converted back into the Timeline color space to get
graded in the Color page or further edited in the Edit page Timeline.
Despite the seeming complexity of color management, using RCM is actually simple. In
essence, all you have to do is (A) turn on RCM, (B) assign the appropriate Input Color Space to
each clip in the Media Pool based on its recording device, and (C) choose the Timeline and
Output Color Space combination you want to use.
To enable Resolve Color Management:
1 Open the Color Management panel of the Project Settings.
2 Choose DaVinci YRGB Color Managed from the Color Science drop-down menu.
3 Choose the Input Color Space for the clips in the Media Pool.
4 Set the desired options for the Timeline Color Space and Output
Color Space RCM settings.
When DaVinci YRGB Color Managed is enabled, Timeline
color space is used for all MediaIn nodes in the Fusion page.
