  • Viewing offline with audio compared to online with a wipe in resolve

    Posted by Mark Longchamps on March 8, 2012 at 4:02 pm

    We have a resolve on a Mac that is pretty beefy. It has the PCI extender with 3 cards in it. Sorry I don’t have more tech specs, but it should be able to handle two streams. Here is my question. I have Alexa pro rez 444 footage that I have conformed. I have my offline and an aif audio file. Every thing syncs up and plays back fine. Here is what I want to do. I want to play the conformed media and do a wipe with the offline and be able to hear the audio. In the conform tab, I can see the split, the resolve will play back the offline and the online, but I can’t hear audio. In the color tab, I can see the split between the offline and the conform, I can hear the audio, but the offline does not play back. Can the resolve not do this? When I conform stuff in the smoke, I do a wipe between the offline and the online and I listen to the audio. That is what I want to do in resolve, but I can’t seem to get it to do it. Thanks

    No, you can play back the offline in the Conform window side-by side, but I’ve only ever done this for reconciling cut/sync and audio has not been a priority.

    off course i mean over the SDI in the client monitor … as i was clearly referring to that …

    clients want to see how the offline looked like (the only way around is to create a empty session , drag the offline etc… , but that is not the same because for example clients while working on a shot they want to see that shot playing back as offline (so going to the session created for the offline , take time , plus you have to find that shot , cut the qt to isolate that bit to loop it etc…)

    Argh. Thanks guys. Score one for Smoke I guess. If Davinci reads this thread, please put this on the list.

    Hi,

    my workaround:
    -put the offline in an additional videotrack
    -ad alpha out on this track, enable a powerwindow to create a wipe, connect key of window to it
    -switch the wipe either by switching the track or controll it by using keyout-mixer of the node

    Regards,

    Knut

    Have you tried using multiple Play heads?

    Yes, and that didn’t work either, but I have yet to really dig deep into the software. Mutliple playheads seem to work only for your current timeline not the offline.
