Use a test copy. Record actual observations; no result is pre-approved.
The browser lab is an authored teaching model, not Blackmagic DSP or a test of your audio.

1 · Name the task
Choose 10–15 seconds of a transition, machine or musical layer. Write where the movement should be clear and what must remain readable.

3 · Compare Feedback polarity
At one Dry/Wet balance, compare +40%, 0% and −40% in the lab, then separately in Resolve. Matching numbers do not make the two algorithms identical.
