  • Can I copy key frames (tracking power windows) from one clip to another?

    Posted by Pierre on September 14, 2012 at 8:30 pm

    I’m new to davinci – just downloaded resolve 9 lite.
    I’ve been working on a long clip for several days… keyframing moving power windows. I have about 6 nodes with different tracking windows.

    I had two duplicate clips in this project and wanted to get rid of the one I wasn’t using.
    So I went to “conform” and removed the WRONG clip from the conform window.

    All of my keys and windows are still intact in the “color” timeline… there is just no media.

    My question is:
    How do I reconnect the clip to my timeline so that all my keyframes sync up?
    Or alternatively can I copy all of the keyframes and windows and then apply them to a different version of the same clip?

    thank you !

    Edit: Rephrasing and Simplifying my question.

    Is it possible to replace a 1080P Uncompressed clip that I’ve graded with a 4K R3D file?
    The clips are identical frame for frame with the exception of the resolution, codec and bit depth.
    There are 11 nodes and moving power windows with many key frames that would need to translate over.

    Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks in advance.

    PS – it’s a 9 minute clip ! (will this make a difference)?

    One possibility (if they keep tc and reel identical) would be to colortrace the shot. This would copy keyframes etc.

    That being said you may just be able to remove the uncompressed file and add the r3d file and it may relink automatically.
