In this video I walk through my current DaVinci Resolve workflow for grading Panasonic Lumix S9 V-Log footage into a finished Rec.709 image that’s ready to deliver. I’m not rebuilding the node tree from scratch on camera—I’m showing you the exact node tree I use and what each node is doing, because that’s what actually helped me level up. I’m still learning lighting and color (this was literally a kitchen lighting test), but I’ve come a long way since I started using Resolve in early 2024, and my methods keep evolving. The backbone of my grade is a three-step Color Space Transform setup: V-Log/V-Gamut → DaVinci Wide Gamut, then DWG → Cineon Film Log, then Cineon → Rec.709. From there I do a small “CB” color balance move (the S9 log leans a bit magenta to my eye, so I nudge toward green), then “CW” color wheels for lift/gamma/gain/offset balancing, and gentle curve work using editable splines. After that I start building the look: a film-emulation style pass, an optional Vision3 250D scan LUT that seriously softens and tames highlights, then HSV for more natural color density, plus HSL and skin tools when I need targeted tweaks. I also share a Mac timeline/output color space tip so your exports don’t come out lower-contrast than what you saw in Resolve.
