Cinematic teal-orange grade

Cinematic teal-orange grade

Build a 5-node grade in DaVinci Resolve via MCP.

Steps

1. Node 1 (balance): auto white balance, then lift/gamma/gain to hit 10/40/90 IRE on a gray card frame if present.
2. Node 2 (split tone): shadows toward teal (hue 190, sat 12), highlights toward orange (hue 35, sat 10).
3. Node 3 (skin protect): qualify skin tones, pull saturation back to natural.
4. Node 4 (curve): filmic S-curve, toe at 8 IRE, shoulder at 92 IRE.
5. Node 5 (texture): grain at 0.15 intensity, 35mm profile.
