Hope you get that 100K ASAP You Deserved It All!!

In 15 years as a working colourist, you are the first person I have seen in a tutorial mention the Alt+click hide layer in the colour tab. It always astounds me that so many people DO NOT know about this!

[AdamSzarmack]

Aghhh, NEVER knew about smaller thumbnails being an option. Life officially changed.

[yorkunt]

Wow, I'm just using Resolve like 5 years now, I didn't even had a slightest idea those tricks exists. Those gonna make my life so much easier when I'm grading. You rock Darren!

As a working colorist myself, it is so refreshing to see someone knowledgeable talk about color online. You really have the best color videos on the internet.

[MikeUCV]

Thank you Darren. I finally could wrap my head around on how to use multiple playheads!

[Miguel_.O]

Bravo Darren! These are the kinds of craft gems that Master Colorist like yourself would pass on to an apprentice, and these beautifully produced videos follow in that great tradition. Thank you!

[stephensweeney]

Long time as a photographer, and just moving into video production. I am utterly blown away by your tutorials; I am really not joking when I say that I have say with my mouth wide open in astonishment haha! Thank you so much for these incredibly comprehensive, and easy-to-follow guides.

[ayeshs]

As someone who's relatively new to DaVinci, I can't even begin express how helpful these are! Thank you very much Darren

[felipefenton]

I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the top colorists in the US and I can say, without a doubt, that this is the best color grading channel I’ve found so far on YouTube. Great job!

[videoyoplait]

I am still new to colour grading and this is awesome. Thank you!

[StefanRingelschwandtner]

Many of these tricks were new to me, and they're extremely helpful for improving the speed of color grading. Thank you!

[im_gldn]

My favorite is the color page selection disable. That was a gem. Thank you sir.

[geodudereal]

You're like the best teacher one could ask for. You are so clear and explain is with no nonsense. Unfortunately, you've now made it so I just can't stand listening and watching hundreds of other Youtubers, who probably just don't know what they're explaining to the same level of detail that you do. You're up there with Gerald Undone for me.

[jacques_crafford]

So awesome to see your channel grow Darren, you really deserve all the love coming your way. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these tutorials!

Tip #7 massive time saver. "You just don't know what you don't know" and this video is so helpful to help solve that

[jianbinhuang]

I love the playhead options. You are the first colourist to reveal this. Thank you so much for the sharing. 👍

[johrman]

Not sure if anyone else did this yet but here are the timecodes for the tips.
#1 - 0:50 - DISPLAY QUALIFIER FOCUS
#2 - 1:37 - STILLS HACK
#3 - 2:40 - EFFECTS LIBRARY STAR
#4 - 3:20 - EFFECTS VIEW [SHIFT+F]
#5 - 3:50 - PLAYHEADS
#6 - 5:11 - VERSIONS
#7 - 6:54 - WINDOWS HACK
#8 - 7:38 - DISPLAY NODE GRAPHS
#9 - 8:20 - LAYERS
#10 - 9:21 - MAXIMIZE SCREEN REAL ESTATE

I've come back to this video a few times already and figured it'd be useful to have this.

[IAMJOELBURRIS]

These tips are actually legitimate and not gimmicky at all. Playheads and versions blew my mind. Also the disabling graphics layer in color page is welcome.

Hi Darren, just to say I couldn't think of anyone who deserves to hit that Milestone more than you .. and I look forward to seeing your Celebrations !! you have helped me in so many ways, specifically to get over my fear of Davinci Resolve, and now, although nowhere near the heady heights of a Colorist, I have better results than I ever thought possible and that is mainly down to your Videos (and of course some of your close YouTuber friends) Can't thank you enough .. and anyone reading this .. make sure you SUBSCRIBE .. this guy is the Don !!
