The primary sliders and YRGB processing
- By default, when we launch into the color page here in DaVinci Resolve, the Primary Wheels aren't the first thing that pop up. The first thing that pops up is this menu here, the Primary Bars.

If I come in here to Primary Wheels, and let's start with the Offset control, I'm just going to take this Offset, I'm just going to push it up to red. What happens when we switch into Primary Bars? Notice this red bar has gone up, but I've also pulled a little bit away from green, so the green bar has come down. I can reset here, and if I come back to my color wheels, it's reset here. The real advantage of the bars is the ability to make very fine-tune controls. Notice, I try to add red in the Offset, but in the process also pulled out green. What if I was happy with that green?
