Resolve 11 What is your plan?
-
I think I was that DP! I think i did have to change my shorts afterward. The BM demo guy ( an editor) told me he thought it was the most like FCP 7 of any of the new breed of NLE’s – What the FCPX ( or should i say FCP 8) should have been. He was either a helluva BS artist for someone just hired to demo at the show, or he was telling the truth when he said it floored all the guys they hired to demo . Another guy showed me how easy it was to import an FCP 7 project and start going right away.
I’m a DP who does some cutting though not a real editor so time will tell if it delivers or not, but it sure looked great. It felt like 7 to me but I don’t know anything about X. Tried to learn X but just got drustrated at the get go and went back home to 7.
Also they said it was very easy on the processing hardware and you could function fine on a Macbook Pro. Multicam will be a future upgrade. Most exciting thing at the show for me and completely unexpected. I hope it delivers on its promise. he also showed me some very impressive and impressively fast noise reduction.
Oh yeah and its Free for HD!Lenny

Having spent almost an hour with it today, I agree with you.
I think people are underestimating this. The interface looks just like X to me, but with far better trimming tools and a bunch of things we had in 7 that we lost in X.
A friend of mine that was an FCP7 user that went to Premiere, but isn’t happy with the subscription model, is considering Resolve 11 as his primary editor…

In the past da Vinci noise reduction was only available in the paid dongle version. Are you sure it will be available in 11 lite?
Oliver, in the demo was it possible to copy parts of one timeline into another, in other words have multiple sequences? As I always have multiple sequences/ versions of a finished job and often have to copy paste revision elements between versions, did Resolve 11 show any capacity for multi sequences a la FCP7 or PR?

At this point, I see R11 as a finishing tool on projects that need its color power. But what I can finish in X I will. For non-broadcast stuff most will stay in X. Not gonna force the issue if there is no need.
However, as a freelancer, I can see shops moving this way, so R11 is another one to learn. And yes, Symphony folks must be bitter at this release.

It seems like the big difference between free and paid is noise reduction (and stereo 3D).
Is DaVinci Noise reduction worth $999?

Also the free version goes up to QuadHD (UHD), while the paid version can exceed that. I think there’s also a limit of 2 GPUs for LITE.
Michael – regarding multiple sequences – I don’t know. It also has a mixer.
It’s supposed to be ready for download in June.
Since many X users like the organization in X and they like the plug-ins, I think you’ll see many starting in X to build the basic cut. And for the proxy/transcode workflow. Then go to R11 for finessing the edit and grade. Then back to X for additional filter effects and outputs in multiple format outputs.

Oliver –
Did the demo guy drive R11 with the keyboard or primarily with the mouse? I watched all the demos on the Blackmagic site and the majority of the time it was very mouse driven (which may have just been for show).
Can’t wait for it to drop in June. Very interesting time to be in post!

He ran most of the demo with the mouse, but there were a few keystrokes used. It uses the FCP “legacy” keyboard map, like R10 does, although he mentioned you could bring in other settings. He did crash once during the demo, but that’s not uncommon. It’s still alpha software at this stage.

Define “finesse the edit”? Not sure why you would not want to lock picture before going over to R11.

I’m just thinking out loud, but finessing, as in additional trimming, mixing with a mixer panel, resizing clips creatively. Also it is often not possible anymore to lock the cut, thanks to the way clients work these days. That discipline seems to have been lost years ago for many 😉
In any case, I’m looking at possible workflows that become more fluid than we are used to. Having advanced grading and editing combined is a very good move. That’s why systems like Symphony and Pablo exist in the first place. That’s what Adobe is trying to achieve with the Direct Link between Premiere Pro CC and SpeedGrade CC.
