Graphics cards Nvidia GTX 970.
Footage will be from Mini Ursa 4.6k ProRes and RAW, RED Raw files, Sony MXF and GH5 files.
Final delivery web for majority of my work.
But also out of curiosity what would be the best options for broadcast and theatrical as well?
The thing that stands out to me is your video card may not be strong enough. I have a 970 and it has 4GB of RAM, it's fine for a lot of stuff but I imagine if threw the higher resolution .R3D's at it, it would go out of memory, esp. with significant effects added.
The other thing is that if you are using 10-bit GH5 files I belive you need the Studio version of Resolve.
The advice to go 709 is very sound. And then test how your output looks when exhibited. That simply means, if it's Vimeo, then upload the file and look at it using different OS's and browsers and see how it looks. You very well may have to adjust your grade to make video look right when viewed online. There is a whole host of reasons for this.
Using a Decklink card or similar device will enable you to avoid OS interference on your end, which is helpful. Calibrating your monitor to 709 is kind of a must. If you are serious, then research probes and calibration software. And if you are really serious, then get a professional to come in and calibrate your monitor. And then try matching that calibration with your own equipment. I'd much rather have a properly calibrated $700 monitor than a poorly calibrated $3,000 monitor. The truth is that most good IPS panels can be calibrated to 709. The more expensive panels will be more stable, have more connections and controls and higher bit depth.
Finally, you should pay attention to the color temperature of the light in the room that you are grading in. And ideally should have 18% grey walls behind your monitor.
Good luck.
