Avid offline to DPX 2K scans
Hi there,
wasn’t able to find the exact scenario on past treads so I’ll stat from scratch:
My next gig is gonna be a feature film shot on 35mm and then entirely scanned to 2K DPX.
It was cut on an Avid and I’m planning to color grade DPXs with my new Resolve 8 and then create a DCP + HDCAM output.
What’s your suggestion in terms of workflow?
The movie is divided in reels and has only few dissolves and PIPs so mainly 2 tracks of video.
Thanks in advance for your precious time!

I just did a35mm 3-Perf finish grade from 2K DPX and I did the dailies too. The dailies were Pro-ResHQ 1080p 23.98 with a hole punch on the first “k” frame. Each dailies reel was set to 01:00:00:00 TC on the hole punch. The editor made five EDL’s one for each reel for Resolve.
The editor also made an EDL which listed each lab roll and all of the shots on it for the Arriscan to make the scan process easier. The Arriscan was set to the hole punch and the scan EDL was loaded and the lab flats were scanned by timecode.
I loaded the scans into my disk array and added the master folder to the media pool and added the five EDL’s into Resolve and everything came in almost 100% perfect with only a few shots that needed trims because the original edit was a bit off.

Great! My only concern is that the film was scanned entirely before they started editing.
So I’ll have to deal with an enormous selection of DPXs.
Also did you export an HD CAM or created a DCP?
do you suggest to export from FCP uncompressed?
thanks! -
They scanned all of the original neg? That’s allot of DPX frames….
I exported Pro-Res444 and sync sound to picture in FCP and recorded to HD-CamSR for playout.
DCP and Filmout possibly in the future…

Rob, do you know if there’s a way to media manage all the dpx after I’ve relinked?
I have 11 tb of dpxs and I don’t need them all.
Like copy to another drive as you would do with FCP?
Thanks

If you use the Split and Add (with handles), it will put only the media you need for the conform in the media pool. You can then copy/paste these files to another folder/SAN volume, and then this will do an optimized copy of the selects.

Is there a way to add a video track to an existing timeline in version 7.O?
Can’t find it in the manual / commands.
Thanks
