Professional Color Grading Pipeline in DaVinci Resolve

Creating vibrant, scroll-stopping colors on mobile displays requires an engineered Color Space Transform (CST) pipeline.

1. Node 1: Exposure & Offset: Balance global contrast using logarithmic controls.

2. Node 2: White Balance: Correct color temperature across highlights and shadows.

3. Node 3: CST Node (Input to Rec.709): Convert camera RAW / Log (Sony S-Log3, Canon C-Log) to Rec.709.

4. Node 4: Skin Tone Qualifier: Isolate skin vectors on the vectorscope to maintain natural hue lines.
