Just wanted to reiterate how great this video is- I'm currently traveling and trying to upload videos simultaneously for the first time, and went back in my history to find this exact video (vs searching for others) when I realized I didn't re-download the preset along with my software on my laptop. This video is GOLD. So novice-friendly! Thanks again!!

I have been looking everywhere for this fix! After hours of trying to manually fix the problem myself and looking through reddit, I just found this video and it solved all my problems in 10 min! Thank you thank you!

THANK YOU!!! I've gone through sweat and tears trying to find out a fix, and I couldn't believe my eyes when it worked!! Also you explained it very well!

It was quick and effective and thank you! However its a filter that bring some colors back mind is still not exact the same, but your tip was faster and more effective than two other you tubers that i tried, they took me to setting, color etc and no changes! The question is why in Davinci colors are washed off at the first place, and isn't the case with with FCP and Premier?

Thank you so much! Tried so many things before, but nothing worked. This one was flawless!

[Adams-Gardening-Guides]

Brilliant! I've been struggling with this problem for months, and given up using DaVinci Resolve and returning to iMovie for editing for the time being. You have provided the solution. Many thanks!

EXACTLY what I needed for some washed out Iphone footage. THANK YOU

[path_driving]

Thank you, Andrew! Everything is clear to the point, no fluff. It helped me convert the video.

Wow... straight to the point and immediate fix to a complicated issue. Well done.

Bless your soul! I was watching other videos and they were showing the file management setting which I believe helps on the export (was a problem I also had so hope that helps) but wasn't working on the import! This did! I also saw a comment on another video that said you need to change the format of your iphone camera in your iphone settings from High Efficiency to Most Compatible. Looking at the description in the settings, that seems to make sense. So I made all three of these changes. I also bought premiere pro strictly because I thought it was just Davinci Resolve, but this same color error was happening in there too so now I can cancel it :).

Insane. I spent hours trying to color grade to match it. This took 5 seconds and it’s for free too what more could I ask for

[BrokeWatchFanatic]

Thanks for the tip! Question is, where is the underlying issue? Is it the iPhone settings or Davinci?

[rachelliu]

You are an absolute godsend, this took me several hours and you literally fixed it within a minute

[ellieinspace]

thank you for making this quick!!! issue SOLVED

[Imysrwr]

Amazing video! But do you know how to make it as a default setting?

[J-Tea]

Tried many many other things before finally trying this videos solution. This definitely was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders! The LUT looks amazing, thank ya much Mr.Sweeney!

[TravelingKroo]

Thank you, It took me several bad videos to realize that it was the editing software and not the Iphone itself!

[smithageorge]

Do you have a solution to videos looking tiny on the iPhone which are shared through watsapp after editing on davinci resolve? Theres just way too much black border around all vertical images in the video.. pls help..

[LeonardoManzoni-st]

Thank you! You solved a problem I had been carrying around for days in 2 minutes!
