I have often done my corrections using gain, gamma and lift and was not really satisfied with the colour results. Next time I’ll use that offset tool and balance it all out! Thanks for the very useful hints and infos packed in such a sweet tutorial!! 🚀✨

[IkennaVisuals]

I love how you’re speaking your thoughts like how a beginner would think, I can totally relate because those were the things I was thinking hahaha. Learned a lot, thank you! ✨

One of your best tutorials yet! Simple and powerful. Love it! You really demonstrate how this approach it's the one that makes the more sense when it comes to balancing an image. It's a great workflow and a time saver too, which is great because, as you say, balancing all the footage is one of the most time consuming (and also kind of boring)
tasks. Thank you! It's so great to have you as a teacher!

wow, damn! I've never questioned how TEMP and TINT work, simply trusted that they would do what i expected. Though I didn't really use them to change temp and tint as I was able to work with raw footage most of the time, that's a really interesting point you're making and proves that we should consider reviewing what or nodes do more often using the greyscale. THANKS A LOT man!

Man where was this on Monday when I was struggling with balancing a complex lighting scene. That black point tip is clutch. So Simple. Chef's kiss

[LOHmannFilmes]

That's is super helpful! So simple and so important. Thanks!

[DonWayFilms]

I'm coming from Premiere and am used to doing things completely different. Your tutorials are really helping me to get acquainted with Resolve really fast. Thanks.

[fullframevisuals]

Wow that is very valuable insight! Here I was thinking the Temp/Tint are the moest non-destructive tool within the Primaries. Such a simple yet powerful demonstration! Finally I get why I sometimes can't get my balance right when using Temp/Tint, even in cases where the image doesn't seem so far off that should unsalvageable. Thanks for this!
