Two colorists show how to set up the DaVinci Remote Monitor app to share your Color Page Viewer with remote clients during a grading session.


Work with clients worldwide and with a color-managed remote grading pipeline

In this Insight, Patrick Inhofer and I set up a complete remote color grading workflow and share our best practices for using the standalone application ‘DaVinci Remote Monitor’, which is automatically bundled with DaVinci Resolve Studio as of April 2023.

We also explore the free and paid workflows that can be used to share DaVinci Resolve’s output for a remote grading session and how to set it up correctly as a color-managed pipeline, end-to-end.

Note: This Insight was recorded while Resolve 19 was in beta.

While I feel lucky to live in the charming coastal town of Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, the local color grading market is small and competitive, which is a reality I need to manage.
