I don’t have any experience with this myself, but during the demo in Oslo on thursday, someone from the audience asked about this.

Dan Moran who held the demo, said it was “do this, click here, dust gone”, and that it would overwrite that exact frame to the source media. So I think that’s the way it works. If you’d like to undo that – I’m not really sure what to tell you. Take backup of the material before dust busting?

I spoke to Dan yesterday and he agrees this should be fixed. Replacing the source dpx from a back up is how I fixed the issue. a simple undo would be great. Or perhapes commet the fix to the render. The lustre creates a original folder and saves them.

If you do a dirt fix on a frame, and want to UNDO it, you can press the PAGE UP key on the Mac keyboard. You can even save and recover the project, and go back to that frame, and the PAGE UP UNDO function still works. I’m not sure where the original frame info gets saved to make this happen. But it appears to be true (on the Mac Resolve at least) that as soon as you make a dirt fix, it’s applied immediately to the original source frame. When you do the PAGE UP UNDO, that is also immediately applied to the original source frame.

Thanks Dwayne. I have one more. Sometime the dirt tool doesnt work. Unable to draw the box. I must be missing a step?

You’ve selected the Dirt icon? If you right click the icon and change a Dirt parameter, does it work then?

I tested again this morning.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not..

Yes I select the dirt icon on the viewer page or color page, changing the parameters doesnt do anything.
When I click on the screen to draw the box I get the following message. “refreshing screen.”
Dpx frames were created by the resolve. I can put two sets of dpx frame in the same time line. One I can clean the other I cannot..

I don’t understand exactly what you mean by 2 sets of DPX frames in the same timeline?

I’ve never seen the refreshing screen issue. Since it appears that it will modify the source frame as soon as you do anything, the problem might be related to write permissions on the source frame when it doesn’t work. Could you check that?

One set of dpx frames was rendered via the resolve.. I can use the dirt tool on these frames.
I have another set that was made with the resolve using convert format.
Both are in the same session and same timeline.

Permissions seem to be ok. Both sets of files are on the same storage.

Can you send me a sample frame that doesn’t work?
