Resolve RED question

[Rohit Gupta]

Add all the R3Ds in the media pool, and then load the EDL to conform the media.

You should also enable reel number support to avoid any conflicts in case there are two clips with overlapping source timecode.

Resolve supports reading the full reel/tape number written out by FCP in the comments field of the EDL.

Where do you enable the reel support?

Extract Reel Names from EDL comments: You can find the checkbox in the Configuration-Settings screen.

Thanks Peter.
I was curious about this. Conforming a mixed source project (Prores, R3D), I was getting some conflicts, which I had to resolve manually. I think this should help.

Also, in the Config page, Project tab, enable “Assist using reel number from the”, and then “Embedding in source clip file”.

It is recommended to set this to before starting your project and adding any clips to the Media Pool.

I’m curious. Why not consolidate all of this in the conforming tab? I’d like to see conforming choices based on the reel name, file name from file or from the file’s header, TC etc. Also, I would like to see some kind of filter for the file types for adding folders and subfolders to the library. For example, you could select to add only R3D and not QT.

Thanks for the feedback. We have a number of good ideas like these to consider for our subsequent releases.

People are doing strange things mixing formats these days.

Red, Canon 5D/7D, Film, HDCamSR, EX1/EX3.
Two or more of the above in the same project.
(Hey, its a free country right?)

How good is the conform in an EDL consisting of mixed media?

Conform management is Resolve is powerful and few issues arise from mixed media.

What does it mean when you get a BIG RED ‘X’ on your clips in the timline / conform?
