  • outgoing – incoming frames viewable simultaneously?

    Posted by Chris Oben on November 8, 2014 at 4:09 am

    Is there a way, using split screen or another method, to see both the outgoing and incoming frames of two consecutive shots…

    The best method I have used so far is to do a freeze on my grading monitor in its split screen mode. This works very well but is very tedious.

    I think being able to jump from cut to cut seeing the out against the in is a very efficient way of grading. Premiere allows you to do this…

    Sure, just use the playheads or a second video track with a masked alpha output and a 1 frame offset.

    A slice of color…

    Can you describe how to use the second track with one frame offset and alpha?

    It seems like ‘outgoing / incoming’ would be a useful preset in split screen …

    You see this on edit page when in trim mode. two up or four up depending on mode.

    Thx for mentioning that Peter. Could you elaborate on how to do that? The idea for me is to be able to look at one clip while adjusting the other… I’m not sure this is possible from the EDIT page.

    ok. I remember some more advance playheads controls in V9 but I can’t seem to find the outgoing/incoming frame functionality in V11 using anything to do with playheads. My goal is to see the outgoing frame and incoming frame simultaneously and then make adjustments to the incoming frame …

    Can you describe how to do this with playheads Sascha?

    It’s all documented, if you would make the effort to look.

    Of course, if everyone would actually RTFM, half the questions on Creative Cow would be unnecessary.

    Thanks for the link Mike. Sorry to have wasted your precious time. Just a note … I’m not new to the software nor to this forum. I am also one of many Resolve users on the Beta team (I suspect you are too) I teach courses on using Resolve. My question is specific and not clearly documented in Alexis’ extremely well writteguide. Don’t worry I’ll be sure not to ask you for help in future. Perhaps another user has some insight here.

    I didn’t read all of the previous entries in this thread and misinterpreted your question. Sorry.

    The simplest way to do this is to grab a still of the outgoing frame. Then you can wipe to it and adjust your incoming frame as you described. Hopefully I’m not misinterpreting again…

    Sorry, I read the question differently too.

    You can use the frame fwd/back commands to toggle from one to the other, but you only see one at a time.

    [Mike Most] “The simplest way to do this is to grab a still of the outgoing frame. Then you can wipe to it and adjust your incoming frame as you described. Hopefully I’m not misinterpreting again…”

    First thing I thought of. Any other method is just going to be too much trouble and take too long, especially if you’re trying to knock out 500+ shots a day. My memory is also pretty good.
