Gamut
Managed gamut and gamma conversion
Converts between source and output gamuts/gammas with optional white-point adaptation and premultiplied-alpha handling.
Gamut
DaVinci Resolve · Fusion
Gamut is Fusion's broad color-space conversion utility for moving imagery between known camera, working and display spaces when you need an explicit transform in the node graph.
Overview
What Gamut does
Gamut is Fusion's broad color-space conversion utility for moving imagery between known camera, working and display spaces when you need an explicit transform in the node graph.
Mental model
Define where the image color values currently live, define where they need to live next, and let the node perform the coordinate conversion between those color spaces.
Common uses
Convert camera gamut to a working gamut
Move between wide-gamut and display spaces
Apply or remove gamma around technical processing
Adapt white points between spaces

Inputs & outputs
The port structure shows how this node fits into a Fusion graph.
Image
Source image for the operation.
Effect Mask
Optional mask that limits where the node affects the image.

Output
The processed result from this node.

Diagram: 1931 xy
Sets Diagram to 1931 xy.
Source Space
Declares the input gamut.
Choose the actual source encoding; a wrong declaration produces a mathematically valid but visually wrong transform.
Source Space: No Change
Uses No Change as the source space.
Source Space: ACES / ACEScg
Uses ACES / ACEScg as the source space.
Source Space: Adobe RGB / Apple Log / Apple RGB
Uses Adobe RGB / Apple Log / Apple RGB as the source space.
Source Space: ARRI DCI-P3 / ARRI ITU-R BT.709 / ARRI Wide Gamut 3 / 4
Uses ARRI DCI-P3 / ARRI ITU-R BT.709 / ARRI Wide Gamut 3 / 4 as the source space.
Source Space: BMD 4.6K Film / BMD 4.6K Film Gen 3 / BMD 4K Film / BMD 4K Film Gen 3
Uses BMD 4.6K Film / BMD 4.6K Film Gen 3 / BMD 4K Film / BMD 4K Film Gen 3 as the source space.
Remove Gamma
Linearizes or removes the source transfer function when required.
Use only as part of a deliberate source-to-output conversion.
Output Space
Selects the target gamut.
Match the next stage of the pipeline, not merely the current monitor.
Output Space: No Change
Sets Output Space to No Change.
Add Gamma
Applies the requested output transfer function.
This is typically paired with the target output space.
Use White Point Adaptation
Adapts between differing white points.
Useful when source and target standards use different chromatic reference whites.
Pre-Divide / Post-Multiply
Protects premultiplied alpha during color conversion.
Important for keyed or graphic elements with soft alpha edges.
Practical setup
A reliable workflow
- 1
Identify the true source gamut and gamma.
- 2
Set Source Space and source transfer handling.
- 3
Choose the target working or display gamut.
- 4
Set the output transfer function deliberately.
- 5
Inspect neutral grays, saturated colors and alpha edges before continuing downstream.

Examples
Where this node fits in real work
Camera to working space
Convert a camera-specific wide gamut into the comp's chosen working gamut.
MediaInGamutColorCorrectorMerge
Working to display space
Convert a wide-gamut comp for a display-referred output branch.

Troubleshooting
Common mistakes
Guessing the source gamut from appearance
Applying multiple undocumented gamut conversions
Using a display conversion in the middle of a scene-referred working chain
Production notes
Practical tips
Name Gamut nodes with explicit source and destination spaces.
Avoid duplicate color management if Resolve Color Management or ACES is already handling the same transform elsewhere.
