Feature Suggestion: a 4th picture for scene cut detection

October 15, 2014 at 1:53 amIf you instead create an EDL with the Scene Detector and preconform, then splitting and joining will work fine. That also gives you additional backup. I sometimes even save the Scenecut session.

October 15, 2014 at 3:42 amObviously I agree with pretty much all, but I think it’s time to begin to pare down certain windows, like scene detection and key framing. When one conforms in NLE, there is no separate window for that. Why Resolve needs it? Isn’t Resolve is marketed as an NLE?
The same goes for key framing. That window is down and to the right of the timeline. It’s sizing has no correlation to the actual timeline and makes no sense. For example in Nucoda the keyframing is done right underneath the actual event in the main timeline and resizing event causes resizing of the keyframes as well. It’s just so much more natural and simpler and it doesn’t waste all that space. -

October 15, 2014 at 10:55 amI think we are all aware of the workarounds and there are plenty.
But as Jack states, Nucoda really shines in modern interface usability here…
Heck, even Logic or Reaper have better Key-framing options.
Personally, I do not need more functions at this time, but lets streamline things.
Resolve would only get better if some of the functions would be accessible faster and more accurately.
And in terms of using motion tracking for scene detection, if you go down that path you could do so much more.
Like tracking pan/scan info on an offline and recreating that for the online, even speed info could be derived from that.But for know, just a slider with “minimum scene length’ for Resolve 11.2 and this tool gains 500% functionality 🙂

October 15, 2014 at 1:10 pmWhile it’s on my mind, I would also love if I could say the “shots that didn’t link” list as a spreadsheet or .txt file. Right now you’ve got to screencap it, which isn’t as efficient as being able to open it up in a spreadsheet or hand off a file to the assistant editor to work on.

October 15, 2014 at 2:47 pmCould you use the “export missing clips EDL” function from the timeline (right click)?

October 16, 2014 at 12:10 am“export missing shot EDL” never works fo rme: I browse to the folder where I went to put the EDL and nothing is ever there.
Oh, and one more thing: I would love if the little red box above a clip that indicates that there are multiple instance of that shot in the timeline would have a fraction indicating which instance it is: like, 1/5, telling you it’s the first of 5 times the shot appears, or something.
Would be SUPER useful when 3 shots are next to each other in a group but one is far off in the timeline and you might forget that it’s getting tweaked by changes as well.
