Peter, thanks for reading this thread. I discovered the above by reading the manual yesterday, and therefore got past that first hurdle.
Where I am a bit more stuck is trying to figure out how to get my matches closer to the card. I have a pair of RED DRAGON cameras (one has the old OLPF, one has the new OLPF) and I tried matching them with the X-rite chart. Set initially to their defaults (DRAGONcolor, RG4), both had very similar deviations from the X-rite card, which is not a surprise, since except for the OLPF and slight difference in camera position and physical lenses from the same manufacturer, they are the same. But several of the colors in the color chart (most notably the "normal" green, 2nd row from the bottom, second chip from the left) is rendered far less saturated than the red and the blue after the match function.
Resolve starts with a default of Rec 709 for everything, so I figured I could get a better match by using some gamma that RED and BMD could both agree on. I switched by RAW gamma to Linear and Resolve's Source Gamma to Linear, but that didn't give me the expected result. Do you (or anybody) have a step-by-step to getting a really good match from a RED DRAGON source?
My ulterior objective is to use this feature to find the best baseline within my GH4 to match against my DRAGONs. But I can get predictable and great results from the DRAGONs, I don't want to mess around with the variables contained within (and constrained by) my GH4.
