Activity Forums DaVinci Resolve Cannot Turn on Timecode or Burn

  • Cannot Turn on Timecode or Burn

    Posted by Robert Ober on June 17, 2014 at 5:23 pm

    Hey Folks,

    I am on 10.1.5 Lite. I strung together some Quicktime clips from my D800 in a MC 7.0.3 timeline. I transcoded the sequence to DNxHD, then I exported an AAF to Resolve. In Resolve I did the Auto on the clips just to ballpark the exposure and I want to export that for folks to review with a reference (as in virtual, not absolute) timecode burned in. In the Color module all of the Data presets are greyed.

    Is there some easy way to do this in Resolve? I searched and found no answers.

    Thanks,
    Robert A. Ober

    Are you sure the settings in the Data Burn In area are grayed out? You can’t select the checkbox to the left of any of the items? Can you post a screenshot?

    So apparently I clicked only on the name. Thought I clicked the box. Apologies.

    I did have a real issue however. When I added the timecode then went to deliver and back to color to reduce the gain some more, I lost the timecode and could not get it back. I had to exit Resolve and relaunch it.

    BTW, since Resolve is used for finishing, we need control over the codec parameters and more containers like .mp4.

    Thanks Dwaine, ‘preciate ya being here,

    In v11 you have more control over h264.

    You can upload Prores HQ to youtube and vine and get better results than using mp4.

    I use it all the time.
