scene detection blues
I’m attempting to notch a 2 hour movie in order to pan and scan but running into trouble.
The scene detector just stopped working. I’ve been notching in sections like so:
-mark in and out around a couple of minutes of footage
-use the detector
-manually correct the scene points
-move on to the next chunk of footage.
I’m at about 25min into the film and the detector will no longer detect. Anyone know what’s up? As I’m writing this now I’m thinking there may be a limit on edit points or duration, maybe I’ll continue in a new project and split the film into reels.
Suggestions?
Thanks,roman hankewycz

Update.
I saved the scene file from my initial notching, restarted Resolve, loaded the scene file, got my previous notches back and now it’s letting me continue scene detecting.Question, should I work in reels anyway?

After notching the whole film I’ve found that doing the film in reels is much better. The system was getting sluggish when I tried to force scene detection on long durations. Of course I always work in reels for grading but I thought since I was just notching and doing pan/scan that it wouldn’t be an issue.
In other news I have found that working in the scene tab is a bit cumbersome. Little things like:
-the way you zoom in and out of the timeline
-sometimes my navigation keys and buttons stopped working
-sometimes when I zoomed in the timeline “disappeared” until I hit reset twice, etc.
I’d like to see this feature set become easier to use in the future.roman hankewycz
