Drop TColor on a node. Tick Open TColor UI in the Inspector.

2 · Colour Science

Set it once per node (DWG, Rec.709, ACEScct…). Match Resolve (once) copies your project's timeline space. It never changes when you change clips.

3 · Grade by tabs

Each tab is one tool. Tabs run left to right, like nodes in a row. Every tab is also its own plugin: TCurves, TPrimaries…

4 · Blend like layers

Every tab has its own blend mode, colour mode and opacity.
