    Hi,

    First, great job BM, very good update. You should seriously consider making a NLE soft for taking over FCP7

    One strange thing though on V8 :
    On a 2 tracks projects, when I put a color correction on track 1 (in the track node), it applies the same on track 2.

    That’s not logical, it should only apply the correction on track 1
    We should be able to apply correction on each track
    What do you think ?
    Thanks

    The track tab node and grades are applied downstream of all tracks so it is normal to apply the grade to all clips no matter which timeline track they are in.

    The Track node applies to everything, and is really useful the way it is, if you want to apply a grade to entire project or scene.

    I agree this is very useful but I think It’s not logical
    Now there is multitrack, the track node should target the selected track.
    There could be a “timeline node”

    And if you want to apply to the whole projet, it’s easy to copy on all the tracks.

    I think it would be a great to have that.
    For dailies, you could apply a node for day on track 1 and another for night on track 2 or put the log material on track on with a loglin lut and linear material on track 2 etc…

    “on paper” i think the idea is not bad ,

    but honestly i think you “almost” never ending up having on separate layers such different footage that require this …. i think that would require more time on prepping teh timeline that actually grade….

    What do you do, when you have a separate titles track, which is on top and you want to grade it without affecting your main image?

    Hi Jake,

    Most of the grading in Resolve is done in its clip mode. The track mode sits on top of everything, a bit like an output lut. We had in fact started out by implementing it on a per track basis but quickly realized it was not working very well as if you move a clip up a track or get a new version which you drop on V2 it doesn’t get the same track grade.

    I guess it would be good to have both, a per track grade and an overall.

    Regards,
    Rohit

    From a “logical” point of view, the track label should refer to the track of the multitrack. It is I think intellectually disturbing to have a label that says track and that in fact affect the whole project !

    I still don’t know how to put my lin titles or effects into log and I though that would be great with this option.

    Anyway, I think BM is doing a great job. I hope Apple is not going to ruin everything by announcing the end of the mac pro one day !
    For what I see, they are capable of doing so…
