Multiple shots
I’ve finally started to play with Resolve for Mac. (Nice calling it play instead of work) I’ve cut a small sequence of Red footage in Final Cut, and exported an edl into Resolve. In Resolve I’ve loaded my media based on the edl, and loaded the edl itself. Everything linked up great…maybe too great. When I add a colour or window to a shot, any other shots from the same source clip, that are also on the timeline are also coloured.(my initial test used a timeline that simply cut back and forth from two main clips)
Seemed like an easy way to do a basic colour pass, but it seems anything I do to the first clip also occurs on the other clips. (tracking of a power window for example) If I bypass one of the nodes, all nodes are bypassed in the rest of the connected clips on the timeline.
Not sure what Davinci’s terminology would be to “isolate” a clip.
Thanks for your help.

This is happening because the grade is stored with the source clip in the master session. This is done so that when your edit changes, you just load a new EDL, and you get all your grades in the correct place. Also, it allows you to switch back to the master session and render out the source media.
There are 3 ways to solve this problem:
1. You can use the Split and Add function to split up the source clips before adding into the media pool. You can choose handles in-case your edit changes to cover a longer section of the source clip.
2. You can use the “Local Version” for grades which will let you store the grade with the EDL itself, instead of pointing back to the “Master Session” (Remote Version). The easiest way to do this is to use the “Batch Copy” function, or “Batch Unlink” function. In this method, you lose the flexibility of going back to the master session to render, or re-load a new EDL. (You can still use the colortrace tool to preserve the grades across projects)
3. Add a new remote version for the EDL event you want to have a different grade for.

In such cases I’ve made a new version for that one clip specific, even if the source material appears on the timeline several times. Then I can have tracks and what not wherever I want.
