Using DaVinci Resolve’s Take Selector to work faster, with fewer mistakes

The take selector is one of those little unsung hero features in Resolve. It’s super useful – but not many people know it’s there!

In talking to a few other colorists I found quite a few didn’t even know it existed, or how they could use it to organize and speed up their VFX shot workflows.

The take selector is also a great way to swap between different tags, graphics, or languages.
