We learned from a PROFESSIONAL Colorist! Apple Immersive Video Masterclass with James Willett

We're exploring the world of immersive production in Da Vinci Resolve for the Apple Vision Pro . If you haven't already, please go watch the other videos in this series. This . This episode is special because we're going to be talking with James Willlet, a professional colorist who has been working with Da Vinci Resolve for some 15 years across numerous disciplines. . We did some work to prepare the timeline for James . Here's the DRT that we've created for you. Hopefully you like how tidy we have made the timeline . So we have grouped the scenes by color . And then you can see the disabled tracks . Well, that's because on track one we actually have fusion effects there . On the disabled track, it's just a duplication but without the ef hout the effects applied to it. You might be wondering why we've duplicated and stripped all the effects from those fusion clips . We would like the best performance we could get hold of. And having a load of fusion work on a clip is going to bog things down a bit . Particularly in the immersive world, we're talking 2x8k . It's a lot of media . What this means is that we can switch on V4 and V5 actually . And we just switch off V1 and two . And anything that had Fusion work on has just been wiped from the timeline with regards to it being visible in the color page . It's still o 's still on the timeline, but the color page is not looking for it. And it means we can work quite happily on the rushes . and then the fusion stuff can be put back on afterwards . However, you don't really need to think about it being put back on afterwards. By default, Resolve will use what's called a local grade . Quick interruption
