[Peter Chamberlain] “• Projects can now be arranged and saved within project folders for easy organisation”
My personal fav. It’s the little things that do so much in a busy, multi-project environment. Kudos.
While the onlining/conforming tools are getting stronger, my only gripe is how “loose” the timeline control is getting. The playhead just “feels” so loose and out of control since 9…and the more time I spend in that timeline, the more noticeable and annoying it can be constantly locking and unlocking the offline, playhead sticking to the pen…it’s the little things 🙂

Ok these little upgrades are nice and all, but here we are on version 10 and still no Facebook support? WTF!!
I mean how can you call yourself “professional” software without deep social media hooks! I mean how cool would it be, to be able to have a tweet go out each time I add a node or power window?
That’s the kind of forward thinking that gets lost with wasting time adding all these “features” that people “use”, to “make art and money”.
Re-foucus! Jeez, there’s not even an iPhone app! Other software manufacturers seem to get it, why not you?

[andrew sableton] “I wonder if Resolve will become a genuine NLE option at some point….I know of many filmmakers who are still dissatisfied with the alternatives to FCP7….”
They should take a look at Lightworks. As a NLE it’s a great option.

Well, I guess that makes my search for ways of using Resolve as a finishing tool way easier. With titles and all the new enhancements I guess we are basically there.
Can’t be here soon enough. Great work guys! -
[Peter Chamberlain] “• 3rd party panel improvements”
On that note, I am desperate to know if the improved 3rd party panel support will in fact fix the heavy latency issue that Avid Artist panel has with Resolve. It is barely usable as it is, while It runs like a dream with Apple Color…
Sooo exited about all the improvements and additions to DR10… Thanks BM!

I just hope you guys have fixed the qualifier – “new RBG YUV selection” might indeed be this.
All these new features are fun, but to me this was part of core functionality in serious need of improvement. The rest was already more than fine.
Just give me a blur/choke for qualifiers that actually works solidly.

Vlad, I assumed that was what they were referring to with:
– Render Cache metadata is now saved with the project
I could be wrong, but guessing they’ve fixed this.
-
So it would make FX stuff on Cache and play it from there.
This sounds promising.
Just last week i had to work a lot on conform page with 2 hour feature
and i had a ton of ideas. Most of them will be in ver10 already 🙂—

Hey Robert,
Could you clarify what you mean by this? Do you have examples of the issues you’re seeing?
-
My issue is that trying to create a secondary from an HSL qualifier ends up in a lot of noise or something very imprecise, or just big blurry noise.
In almost all other color grading software, “blur selection” actually removes noise and the “choke” retreats the selection so that it doesn’t halo. In almost all other software, this is a very easy and fats and intuitive process.
“Grow/Shrink” and “offset” are so weird the DaVinci manual does not even attempt to explain them. They do not work well, they are big time-wasters.
In Davinci, the HSL qualifier system is by far the worst of any of the major packages. The tracked windows are spectacular and awesome and wonderful, yes, but windows are often not all you need to do a secondary grade (unless you want to – or can – spend hours pushing points around).
Unless they’ve fixed this, it seems V10 adds lots of features that are non-essential to most grading sessions I’ve encountered (I’m not saying useless, just non-essential), yet fails to fix a basic problem that comes up in every single session.
Blur Choke is pretty basic stuff – many software did this perfectly well 10 years ago. It’s not patented or anything, it’s not hard to code.
People here who claim the HSL qualifier is fine as it is have simply never worked with the secondary color range selectors of any other packages. They are all better. Even Colorista’s is way better, and that is a prosumer/low-end plug-in not even aimed at a dedicated color-grader. Baselight? Smoke? Msytika? No comparison can even begin.
