DaVinci 9 and R3D clip not keeping my raw settings

[Pepijn Klijs]

There’s a setting that tells resolve what to use: camera metadata, project settings or clip settings.

Thanks for your reply, but I can not get it to work.

After bringing the clip to the MEDIA POOL and selecting “Edit RED Codec Settings”, all the settings are greyed out unless you select DECODE USING: CLIP. This lets me apply REDcolor2 and REDlogFilm, but once I go to the COLOR panel in Resolve, the clip still has original clip settings not the new ones.

try this:

select all the rd3 clips in the media page, rightclick and choose edit red codec settings. Go to decode using: clip. Then go to the downright corner of that window and click the little icon on the left (apply changes to selected clips). Should work…

this is what I have selected, but like I said once I go to the COLOR panel in Resolve the clip does not have my settings applied (even though I see the changes take effect in the MEDIA panel preview window)

Did you click on “apply changes to all selected clips” (the button on the left at the bottom right of the window} after making the changes? You should also deselect “apply metadata curves” unless there’s an original correction that’s using the same settings as you (i.e., colorspace and gamma).

[Dennis Hingsberg]

The button is there as you see in the screen shot, but doesn’t seem clickable for me even though if I hover over it is says “apply to all..”

I am using the Lite version of 9 – could this be why? But on BMD’s website under R3D is shows full support except it says “NO for “Individual DaVinci Resolve Control Surface controls for all parameters.”

It IS clickable, it just doesn’t give you visual feedback. Try changing the gamma (i.e., if it’s currently RedlogFilm, change it to Redgamma3), clicking the “apply changes to all selected,” and go back to the color timeline. You should see all of the shots update within a second or two.

[Dennis Hingsberg]

Yep I’ve tried that, no dice. Also in the Media Pool sometimes the thumbnail reflects my gamma changes when I scroll around over it and other times it just stays with the default R3D gamma setting.

The preview clip window on the MEDIA pool page always shows my changes (redlogfilm) but once I go to COLOR it is the original gamma color again.

I tried this on MAC and PC and same thing. I’m using Resolve Lite 9 which I know can not output 4k but can open 4k no problem as I’ve been using it with 4k XAVC files from the Sony F55. I need to color some R3D files and just can’t get the clips to stay in redlogfilm.

Anyone?

The only way that should happen is if you’ve made changes on the shot level in the Color timeline. Those settings override the global/project setting. So if you’ve changed those, all bets are off.

Dennis, if you go to the project config page, select RED, what does your ‘raw’ settings look like? Can you take a screenshot and post it?
