Patrick Williams :

Because the comment section is to full I will just ask. What if I use my iPhone or iPad with davinci resolve monitor? Wouldn’t that show me accurate color if I use it for those devices anyway?

flicsfrommak :

Just switch your color space to REC.709A the A is for Apple and will make it so what you see on your Mac screen is the exact same as what will export. You can change the setting under color management tab in timeline settings

ty.rory :

The fact that anyone color grades in any other display profile other than P3-D65 on their Mac displays is also wild. Don’t edit in pro res or any default profile

joanvillalon_ :

User error. You can change color profile of your MacBook screen

austin.filippi :

Macbook is probably the best you can use. Also majority of people view on an iPhone so why wouldn’t you want to match that?

TravisDennyMedia :

Turn off True Tone and use scopes to color grade. And just because that’s an external monitor doesn’t mean it’s true to color. Every monitor screen is different

kp_clr :

I only saw 2 comments on this, but the main trick is changing your MacBook display settings to HDTV rec709 bt1886 and you’re good to go!

Jeramie Lu :

I’m gonna blame your external monitor

Rai’en • Drops :

All comments were super helpful

Búza Peti :

Actually, MacBooks have multiple color profiles/reference modes you can switch between in the settings, like Display P3, sRGB, or Rec.709.

LaagstreepjeRobinn :

I discovered that the MacBook transmits its TrueTone colors to an external screen. My external OLED screen only had its original colors when I closed my MacBook screen.

Chewie :

Its your setting bruh

Teekshan Arora :

What kind of macbook are using? I was planning to buy one!

Jae :

I saw this the first time on the M silicon. You can got to Display Settings & select the appropriate color profile. But no brightness control when you select a proper colour profile like D3.

Shell.in.Motion :

Wowww! I actually had no idea

waaanderfinds :

SUPPORT 💕🥰

Jem Adriano :

I am editing on an ipad pro and the color has been accurate so far

DAN :

okay that gives me more motivation to build PC with great GPU instead of getting back to macbook. 🤣

Josh.mov :

the external monitor is also lying to you. You would need to get a Blackmagic Ultrastudio 4k connected to a calibrated BT.709 reference monitor.

raphael :

You just have to use the right settings in display

Zach :

If True Tone is off, it’s about as close to accurate as you can get. Your external is likely way off.

lukedanielj :

Just use Rec 709 A

Granhead the 1st :

we just colour balance on camera job done.
