For more information on how color management affects the Fusion page, and why the Linear color space is preferable for compositing, see Chapter 76, “Controlling Image Processing and Resolution.”

Ability to Bypass Color Management Per Clip

When you right-click a clip in the Thumbnail Timeline of the Color page, a “Bypass Color Management” setting appears underneath the Input Color Space and Input Gamma submenus that let you identify a clip’s color characteristics. Choosing this option so that it appears checked lets you exclude that clip from color management altogether, in the event you want to manually manage that clip using LUTs, the Color Space Transform node, or simply by doing manual grading.

Exporting Color Space Information to QuickTime Files

If you render QuickTime files from the Deliver page, then color space tags will be embedded into each file based on either the Timeline Color Space (if Resolve Color Management is disabled) or the Output Color Space (if Resolve Color Management is enabled). Two settings in the Advanced Settings of the Render Settings let you choose how color space metadata will be embedded into your output for supported media formats, “Color Space Tag,” and “Gamma Tag.” These default to “Same as Project,” which will match the Output Color Space currently selected in the Project Settings.
