This so much. If only they ditched both node styles and made Nuke style nodes but with horizontal flow by default maybe. The Color page nodes are so so wonky.
Yep. Usually nodes make it much clearer what is being done to your input. I learned from Shake how great node-based workflows are.
But in Resolve they're an afterthought.
The other huge problem in Resolve is failure to distinguish between clips (references to video files) and timeline events (the usage of part of a clip in the timeline). If you want to change the grade on an entire shot, no matter where it's used in the timeline, the logical thing to do is apply the grade to the clip in the bin. Then all timeline events that refer to it would reflect the change.
But no. To this day I don't know how to reliably change the grade of all uses of a clip. It's a huge PITA and leads to errors in your results.
