Huesmith Starter Kit for DaVinci Resolve
=======================================

Ready-made node trees for log footage. Each grade has labelled nodes in a sensible order and a
Color Space Transform node already set for your camera, so the log picture is converted properly.
Works in the free DaVinci Resolve and in DaVinci Resolve Studio.

1. Find your camera
   Open "Node trees" and the folder of your camera and log profile (for example "Sony S-Log3 - S-Gamut3.Cine").

2. Pick the file for your timeline
   Project Settings > Color Management > Timeline color space:
   - "Rec.709 Gamma 2.4" (Resolve's default): use the files ending in "Rec.709 Gamma 2.4".
   - "Rec.709-A": use the files ending in "Rec.709-A".
   Colour-managed project (DaVinci YRGB Color Managed or ACES)? Use the folder
   "Colour-managed projects (no conversion node)" and set the camera on the clip instead:
   right-click the clip on the Color page > Input Color Space (or Input Transform in ACES).

3. Import into the Gallery
   Color page > Gallery > right-click in the stills area > Import... > choose the .dpx file
   (keep its .drx file next to it: the .drx holds the grade).

4. Apply
   Select a clip, right-click the still > Apply Grade.

The trees
- Starter: Balance > Convert > Look. The smallest tree that keeps corrections before the conversion.
- Classic: Exposure > Balance > Convert > Contrast > Skin > Look. The order most colourists teach.
- Wide gamut: camera to DaVinci Wide Gamut, grade there, one transform to the display at the end.
- Multicam match: a Match node first to line each camera up with the hero camera.
- Interview: built around faces, with a skin node for a qualifier.

Only the conversion nodes are set. The other nodes are empty and labelled: that is where you grade.

Want skin checked on Resolve's own picture, automatic skin balance and a timeline check?
That is the Huesmith plugin for DaVinci Resolve Studio.
