daVinci Resolve Transform Input
Hey There,
Anyone have experience with the framing not saving on the input transform?
I am having problems with the input transform on Resolve for Mac while working on a Red shot project. 75% of this job was shot with anamorphic lenses. The rest of the shots used a standard lens framed for 2.35. I can’t use the Cinemascope option, as it cuts off too much of the image north and south. So I created an input transform which I sized from a chart provided by the director. Unfortunately I have to click on each clip individually to properly size them due to the fact that when I enable “override the scaling on all media pool clips” using the input transform I created, it clips the left and right frame of the original image about 10% on the non-anamorphic footage. I can resize the top and bottom of these clips, but can’t recover what is lost on the left and right frame of the image. This part makes sense.
So, I must resize each anamorphic clip individually, then save it. This sometimes works, but then when I exit the project sometimes the sizing sticks throughout the session, and sometimes it does not. Or, the sizing may change during the session even before I log out. Very inconsistent. All software is up to date.
Any thoughts or work arounds are much appreciated! I’m sure I’m missing the boat here somewhere. Resolve is certainly a fun system when I am actually Coloring!

I would not setup my sizing on input, go into the format tab and size it on output.

Thanks for your reply. When I resize on the output transform it affects all the shots globally and does not allow me to resize each clip separately as I can do on the input transform.
Thanks again for taking the time to think about this!

Hi, there are a couple of items to check here. You mention that you could not use the cinemascope option and Im assuming this is the one in the conform project settings? Did you have the input scaling set to ‘scale entire image to fit’?
You don’t clearly mention if you tried setting the pixel aspect ratio for these in the media pool. In the media pool select all that need changing at one time, right click and select ‘change pixel aspect ratio’,set to cinemascope and see if that helps.
We have a lot of users that shoot a mix of square and anamorphic so these should work.

Thanks for your reply Peter! I will give this a shot today!

Hi,
I’m having the same problem.
Media managed the project to Prores HQ.
But the doccie has some hidden camera footage which they want smaller than full screen.
I also have two different format hidden cameras- a 4×3 and a gopro, so I’ve got two different presets which I’m using.After I rendered out and closed my project, the following day I needed to tweak a shot, but most of my resizing had disappeared!
Will have to go through everything again and double-check the sizes…., lively activity for a Tuesday night! -

Yes, this problem is a confirmed bug from black magic.
We just got a Resolve 4K for a job and that is the first thing I was doing: I have 4 different extractions and I was trying to uniform them with the format in input. at the close/reopen of the softer the values where back to null.
Workaround:
Do a PTZR manual setting for one of them, save the still, open the graph and do a manual (replace PTZR only) setting on the other clips.It sucks, i know.
I think you can try to group them and replace just that PTZR setting, but I did not try that.
