Office Hours Conference Call, 22 March 2022
Mixing Light Contributors Joey D’Anna, Cullen Kelly, Rich Roddman, and Peder Morgenthaler join host Patrick Inhofer taking member questions in a live conference call format.
After starting the conversation sharing recent wins, we dive into the questions that are at the top of mind for our members. Today, we take questions about:
- How are we now working in the still-new HDR palette in Resolve 17?
- Does working in unmanaged projects negate the ‘color space awareness’ of the HDR palette?
- Is it appropriate to hand your project files to your client, and if so, how much is a reasonable price?
Questions or Comments?
The team had a good time on this call. Feel free to continue the conversation below in the comments!
