Couple of things I'm a bit confused by...
[Michael Holmes] "I have been struggling with color and shape masks in FCP X to deal with the bad cases, but it is really tedious. "
Are you referring to the time it takes to keyframe the mask? Or is there some other aspect of the masks that you're having trouble with? Because no matter what program you use, if you need to mask out portions during the color correction, then it's going to take some time. Resolve has the ability to track the object or person you've masked, but even that is not a magic bullet all the time.
[Michael Holmes] "I looked in detail at what it would take to use Resolve and it makes absolutely no sense for me.............I would spend tons of times learning complex capabilities designed for much more complex movies, and also spend a fortune on a separate computer system."
Why do you think you need a new computer system to run Resolve?
