Resolve 11 – Is it me…

[Franz Bieberkopf]

[Bret Williams] ” … in reading their blurb about audio, it sounds pretty decent.”

Bret,

It might be.

How does it multiple source channels on clips? Do I have versatile control of mutes and levels on individual channels?

Stereo, mono, multi-channel tracks?

Separate master controls? Does it allow grouping or any sort of routing? What kind of metering?

How does it handle audio plug-ins? Can I apply them to clips and/or tracks? Third party?

Support for control surfaces?

Will it take any audio interface? Can it deal with sync offsets if that’s an issue on playback?

What’s the quality of speed effects on audio?

It’s hard to say without actually using it in workflow. And this is just one aspect of the NLE.

Franz.

One thing that hasn’t been discussed yet, is that BMD is notorious for delivering half finished products, at least on the hardware side of things. They seen to be a little more attentive with Resolve. However, I think it would be unwise to jump in with both feet, with a product from a company that loves to promise big things, and then is real slow delivering on those promises.

Basic editing and a finishing timeline is exactly what I am looking for.

[Scott Witthaus]

There are many more ‘mature’ products to provide that available now. While interesting, Resolve 11 is brand new and untested. X or Premiere might be better options for you at this point.

I wish, as I wished with Color, that Resolve could be a “plugin”.

Like Baselight and now SpeedGrade.

[Bret Williams] “My prediction. Next year – they add multi cam and a full 3D motion-like animation system, except it’ll be node based like smoke.”

Node based applications aren’t typically very good at animation… that’s why the most poplar animation programs are layer based. Maybe Resolve will become the all-in-one application that some want it to be, but not anytime soon. My prediction is that Resolve will become a solid finishing tool that might (more or less) take the wind out of Autodesk’s sails, but probably not Adobe’s… not unless Blackmagic buys Corel and Hitfilm and drastically re-tools those applications for more integrated workflows… BM would also need an answer to the AE/C4D integration story… all of that would take a lot of time.

I switched from 7 to Premiere and from Color to da Vinci a while back. The more I look at Resolve 11 the more I like being able to stay in the grade program rather than jumping in and out during finishing.

One biggy will be stills with moves. I want to see how well they translate. Also comparing their stabilizer with warp stabilize in PR/ Ae.
