Activity Forums DaVinci Resolve Feature request – sort stills by label

  • Feature request – sort stills by label

    Posted by Andrew Sableton on February 27, 2012 at 8:39 pm

    I like to group my stills together with an alpha / numeric label that keeps stills from the same scene grouped together in my list for quick and easy access. I don’t see a way to do this with Resolve – you can keep adding stills tabs, but at a certain point this will become cumbersome.

    Thanks

    The Still numbering does this sorting automatically.

    From the manual.
    Stills display an identification number in the upper left corner, that consists of three numbers separated
    by periods:
    The first number is the video track it’s saved from.
    The second number is the number of the clip the still is from.
    The third number is incremented every time you save another still from that same clip.
    For example, the third still that’s saved from clip 4 in track V1 is numbered 1.4.3.

    Thanks for the explanation…..I guess what I would like is the ability to force my own organization onto the ordering of the clips by sorting according to my user generated labels.

    YES YES YES
    I would love that feature as well!
    DaVinci Resolve custom stills sort would be awesome!

    I work with resolve near set and I name my Stills for the Scene and camera they go with…until they get approval and toss the ones that don’t make the grade.
    EG:
    SCN_004_A_001_warm
    or
    SCN_001_B_002.

    But once you get a huge number of stills in there they are all sorted by the clips / card they come from. Then to find stills for SCN_001 I have to enter a specific search.

    Would be way easier to have them sortable by various options or just alpha numeric.

    That way to find scene 001 I could just scroll up to the top of the stills folder to find scene 001

    By the time you are done the project you have stills from begining to end of the project.

    ****Also it would be great IF I could export them with the names I gave them rather than having to assign a batch name.
