Resolve 11 What is your plan?

[Oliver Peters] “That discipline seems to have been lost years ago for many ;-)”

Agree!

[Oliver Peters] “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”

Also agree. I also really like the opportunity to move easily from my storytelling platform to a colorists system. I confess I am no colorist, so this ease of movement is a good thing.

[Oliver Peters] “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 ;-)”

And also shot replacement.

Many times, I have to work with temp shots until they come back from graphics or whatever.

Now, I have to add the new shot in NLE timeline, resend an exchange file, import the exchange file and conform the timeline in the grading system.

Now with more editing capability, I can simply import the new shot and edit in the to the timeline right in Resolve. I am really looking forward to this.

I just wish it would work with AJA hardware. 🙁

Does the $999 version allow third party video out?

Call me crazy, but I suspect there’s probably only one vendor whose hardware will work with R11. 😉

Just looks like X with tracks. And I am faster without tracks.

But yeah, if we can have access to X libraries for shot replacement while finessing/color in Resolve would be a nice thing.

If I pay them $1,000 for the privilege of using AJA hardware, shouldn’t that be enough of a love tap?

I will go on record and say I have a really hard time trusting Blackmagic hardware, and that is from experience and not conjecture.

I know that plenty of people have had great luck with it.

Before then, do note that, in a longer version of my previous post (and yes, I do edit my posts), I had in fact observed that in some of the teases, they did use the word online…so I didn’t mean to imply that it was your imagination, David…but on the product page, not at all.”

Not a problem. Hope no offense was taken. I enjoy reading your posts — they are entertaining and informative.

I concur. I don’t even know if I’m empirically faster, but once you get used to never even thinking about whether an edit will “fit” somewhere, it’s really annoying to work any other way. I really think it’s easier even to make a J or L cut. I can do it in the source window in a tracked NLE, or just as easily after the fact in X. I like the fact that *all* keyframes have bezier handles in R11, and the 4-up trim display looks nice. I imagine that if Apple keeps enhancing fcpxml as they have been, roundtripping is gonna be really easy, probably better than with any other NLE

If you use linked media you could just drag it into the media pool right? Can Resolve read Event XML? That would be pretty cool…

I didn’t take any — I hoped YOU didn’t take any! It’s all good. 🙂

[Jeremy Garchow] “It seems like the big difference between free and paid is noise reduction (and stereo 3D).

Is DaVinci Noise reduction worth $999?”

There are a few more differences. Some of the most important (IMO) are lack of collaborative team workflows, 2 GPU limit (3 on other versions, up to 8 on Linux) and no “Real Time Timeline Power Mastering”.

Good points, and those are well worth the money if you need them.
