Humbled by EDL etc.
Ok after spending a few hours dealing with EDL’s and having everything I try fail! Even QTchange “damn DSLR footage and lack of proper timecode and metadata! I decided to just cut up the full 10 bit uncompressed movie file with scene detect. This got me much further.. BUT.. Now when i try to make a correction it seems to apply across the board to all shots. Almost as if they were in a group. is that because it thinks they are the same clip name? is there a way to let it segment it up so that each shot is independent? Or did i just forget to do something stupid on the scene detect step?

Maybe you didn’t select Split?

No need to split clip. in the color window just right click any thumbnail in the timeline and select batch unlink. Done.

You rock! That did it.. Now what did I do wrong to cause them to come in linked I wonder?
Did I miss a step? -
What I’ve done is,
- In Browser page, right click and add the clip to the project
- Right click again, and add it to scene cut
- Detect cuts, double check everything is fine
- Save EDL
- Jump to Conform page
- Select PRE CONFORM
- Load EDL I saved from Scene cut
- That’s it..

If you’re working in the Scene Cut Detection window and press “split,” the media will be added to your media pool as a separate clip for each shot (you can go inspect that in the browser window). If you don’t split it at some point (you could also “split according to EDL” or such) it will all be linked together because resolve “helps” by grouping all shots in a timeline from the same clip, assuming that they’re the same take… in your case they’re not.
So you didn’t do anything wrong, but you could add a step and split them, then you wouldn’t have to unlink.

My guess is that you added both the original clip, and the split events from the scene cut page into the Media Pool. You should not add the original clip, just the split events from the scene detector page.
This lets you use the Master Session for the grade, and you have the ability to Split/Join in case the scene detector made some mistakes.
