  • Power Window softness keyframable by dragging points?

    Posted by Dan Powers on June 9, 2014 at 11:10 pm

    So I want to keyframe the position of inside vs outside. for example drag only the pink softness points to a new position. Often need to color scenes that need a lot of softness on the left and almost none on the right of a custom power window. What I want to do is to adjust softness gradient similar to masking in Smoke.

    If i remember correctly this is not possible for now.

    Maybe in future releases.

    Should be possible with the Power Curve. Set a dynamic for the shape and continue to keyframe from there. You don’t get a keyframe for each individual point, obviously, but you should be able to accomplish what you’re trying to do.

    Cant have a hard edge on one side of a Power Curve and a soft edge on the other.
    I had to stack another node to soften up one side.

    Wait I found you can adjust the softness points individually , but only if zoomed to a certain level on the viewer. If the points are too close together it groups them all. CTRL + several times and you can grab the points individually. That is what I was looking for. Now if I could just pan the viewer window to see the points that are outside the zoomed region.

    [Dan Powers] “Now if I could just pan the viewer window to see the points that are outside the zoomed region.”
    Center click + scroll wheel will zoom out the Viewer and let you see beyond the edges of the frame. Is this what you’re talking about?

    Hold the middle mouse button to pan the image around the viewer.

    Thanks for the feedback! My Kensington Expert Mouse Pro Trackball doesnt have a middle button, but I did find that pressing down on the scroll wheel and moving the trackball will reposition the zoomed in viewer.
    Loving Resolve 10! As a near life long on-line guy and someone who used DaVinci with Ursa some 20 years ago, it was an absolute pleasure to revisit DaVince.

    I love the Expert Mouse and used it for many, many years, but I reverted to a simple 3-button Kensington wired optical mouse especially for Resolve. No muss, no fuss.
