  • Need to see the frame count instead of timecode !!! Phantom workflow

    Posted by Flow Wolf on February 1, 2012 at 4:46 pm

    I work on phantom files and got a reference of the frames needed to be graded, it shows the frame count like fr 220-406 starting by 0 at each source clip.
    The idea is to sort out the frames needed in the .cine files

    So what i wanted to do is add the whole cine clip at 1:00:00:00 in my timeline and select the frame 220-406. Then cut this selection and move it to another timeline/ V2 above.

    The problem is I don’t find a way to show the frames !!! I need to to find a way to see a frame count instead of the timecode or to “jump by frames typed in” in my conform timeline.

    At base light you can jump the cursor by typing in +200 frames / enter….

    I hope to get helm somehow !

    You can’t see frame counts on the conform page, nor can you navigate by +/- a number.

    Have the clips got timecode ? doesn’t really matter, but would be nice.

    Try this. New session!
    Turn on reel number support and identify clip filename as reel numbers /%R*.*
    See the reel numbers in the browse page before moving on.
    Do a quick low rez render in dpx 1K, (dpx fastest render speed) burn in the frame count,

    Then, take these files in and slice them up as per the clients frame count reference, then export and EDL from that session, back in your final grade session, import the EDL and point to the full rez clips…

    Another workaround, directly in Resolve.

    1. In Config > Settings, enable Show the current frame in the master session
    2. Place the clips on a timeline
    3. Go to Color
    4. Click the Timecode several times to go through a number of different ways of showing information. One of them shows you the frame for each clip, from 0 to ……
    5. Find the right frame number, go back to Conform and cut.

    Now it shouldn’t be too hard to calculate just how many seconds and frames ahead the out point will be, using a timecode calculator. Otherwise, go back to Color and find the frame number for the outpoint, go back to Conform and cut again.
