Epic mixed resolution timeline: 2k, 3k & 5K?!
I just imported a project which has am ix of resolutions of footage all shot on a RED Epic – the xml came in fine and i am working in a 1080p23.98 project HOWEVER I need to render each shot at full size not 1080 and I am wondering if there is an easy way to have DaVinci do that without me changing the resolution on a per shot basis in the render room and project settings tab?? I am hoping there is a way to tell it to just render each r3d as ProRes444 in its original resolution.

Change the project setting in the configuration room.
That won’t let you render in the original setting. But you could do a sequence for each resolution and then source render at each res. unfortunately the renders are always at the project res. not the clip resolution.

Hi Juan,
I am confused by the response – change timeline format you mean (i.e. for 5K shots set to customized 5120×2700) and just render one clip at a time adjusting the settings in config as needed? I would rather not try to make separate sessions for each format as all i have is the xml file and an offline reference – i need the least tedious / quickest way to render each shot in its native r3d resolution as ProRes444 quicktime files based on the xml from edit. -
Juan has the right idea.
I’d set up each different resolution on a different video track. Grade the project in context at 1080, then save versions of the project for each resolution you’ve got. Change the project resolution in the Config, tab, disable the video tracks with footage from the different resolutions, and render all the shots of the same frame size. Then repeat for the other resolutions you need..
should be relatively painless with a little set up.

Brandon explained it better than I did.
