How to use "Versions" - Resolve 16.2 Tutorial
Today we are going over the Version feature in Davinci Resolve 16.2 and how it can save you a bunch of time while grading. Allowing to you to quickly switch between looks and compare the different grades and keep working on them. You can also export all versions simultaneously which is pretty incredible.

This pack includes 4 looks shown briefly in this video. These were built with the Pocket 4k in mind however I feel as though they should act appropriately with most log profiles. I would recomend using general exposure adjustments just to balance and match before the LUT. I will also note that while there are some similarities between the teal and cross process grades I quickly whipped up in the video and Teal Town and Right Cross included in the LUT Pack they are not the same. I was just making quick approximations in the video so there's some additional effects and much more tweaking that went into the included LUTs that I figured would't fit into the video super well and doesn't really have much to do with the Tutorial. However if you would like to see a detailed grade breakdown just let me know down in the comments.
Additional Notes:
I will note that at 3:33 I claimed you can export the split screen as an individual still and I believe I misspoke. This also wouldn't make sense as stills in Resolve typically have a drx file associated with them which contains the color data and node graph which wouldn't really work with two separate grades contained in one image. My apologies for that.
