  • Workflow for DVD dailies

    Posted by Justin Lovell on September 6, 2012 at 4:30 pm

    Hey fellas,

    Can you recommend a workflow for creating DVDs / Dailies from resolve?
    My originating material is Regular 16mm 4×3 over scanned showing sprocket holes. (from film transfers)

    Currently, I’m rendering out HD files (showing the overscanned image sprocket holes/framelines)
    import to after effects
    resize image smaller to 45% to a 720×480 timeline
    exporting mpeg 2 DVD file (constant bitrate 7mbps)
    import to encore
    export DVD

    Is there a faster or better workflow?

    Thanks!

    [justin lovell] “faster or better workflow?”

    You might consider skipping the resize if you are not exporting it directly from After Effects and it turns out to be faster, because you can crop/resize in Compressor. You might be able to go from the dpx sequence for each reel.

    Is it at all possible to directly create MPEG2 DVD files straight from resolve?
