Copy grade with controllermate ? still searching

Posted by Umut Ergin on September 30, 2011 at 3:11 pm

Hi,

I want to remap a Tangent wave F button for “add correction” (which is in sub menu on the still). I use controllermate for it. so the F button on wave is assigned to middle click mouse for to copy the still grade. And I assigned another simple keys in keyboard for to jump between the stills. but each time I have to click with mouse on the still for to activate the still. Have you got another idea, for to copy the still grade to a image or a controller mate schema for this?

Thanks

Controllermate has an output called “cursor.” This enables you to move the mouse to any pixel on the screen. After that, you can add a “mouse button” output that emulates any mouse click that you want.

Here’s how it works:

Make a screenshot of Resolve in the tab you are working in and bring it into controllermate with the screenshot viewer (it’s in the inspector).

In the viewer, you can make some measurements of exactly what pixel you want to click on. Use the measurements in your “cursor” output.

Thank you for your help. But What I don’t understand, when there are a lot of stills, which one I will define for the place of the cursor.

I mean, in the beginning of the project there are few stills, so I will define for the last one, but as I continue, the new stills will be created, so again jump to another still in a 1000 stills, it isn’t very practical and for to activate, I have to click on it.

Why not just save the stills into the A,B,C,D etc slots and map the load A,B,C,D slots to the F keys?

josh,

you’re right, but the slots are not enough for my work. I mean I grade long tv episodes (100 min), so I try to find a way to find a way to work faster:

but thanks again

Josh,

I have an another question for the workflow, if you excuse me

Have you got an idea how can I trigger F4 tangent wave button (creating still image) when I passéd the next image by forward tangent wave button. using controller mate: So a logic of an action triggers an another action but the buttons remains as they are.
I use also Nucoda at work and it creates stills automatically so I try to imitate with davinci

thanks
