Resolve 11 – Is it me…
…or is this FCPX with tracks? Having just watched all the videos I’m kinda failing to see what’s not to like in this system – especially for the low entry price (free) and toolset available. I think they may have pulled the rug out from under everyones feet big time style – certainly for short form work.
Have a look at the videos here
Thoughts?
(and don’t get me started on Ursa. All I can say is I want one.)

It certainly looks like they are making the FCPX editor very comfortable.

But if you drill into a lot of the features here Scott, they’ve basically covered all the bases – I’m not seeing a while lot that X can do that this can’t, mag timeline excluded – and multi cam by the look of it. And metadata export to ALE files could be a real cincher for many people – if you can log, tag and ‘favourite’ in Resolve and export to Avid for offline that will seriously sway some people, as it can work in conjunction with Avid (which many post houses still have and clients insist on) rather than as an alternative. I was asking on one of the X forums the other day about getting metadata from X into Avid – I’ve an edit coming up where the director likes working in X but the production company won’t hear of it. So Avid it is – but that means conventional logging and less flexibility for him. Metadata rich ALEs from this to a ‘known safe’ platform could really shake the market up, especially if people eventually realise that they needn’t go elsewhere for their finishing.
I think this is very exciting. Post has never had it so good…

I am just happy to be more compatible with my colorist who is a Resolve guy. Having played with Resolve 10, it’s very basic. BMD might be putting together just enough of an editor for mastering. Yeah, it’s a great time to be in this business…

Haha, Apple will have to start another court case a la Samsung.
If it really works, this looks like the long-lamented FCP 8 or FCP 9, a hybrid with FCPX features!

Haha, hey Charlie. We’re not jumping off the X ship just yet! But you gotta admit they’ve made some interface choices that ape X’s “modern NLE” look while retaining track-based editing.
