i would like to see

keyframing as suggested above

colour wheels and controller integration

multiple scopes

customisable and recall for window layouts

metadata mapping and verbatim logger tools similar to CatDV or final cut server, while your at it a watcher type tool that automates more complex tasks would be good

audio analysis and script sync like tools

auto line up of scences, shots, takes as auditions

abstracted storyline/storyboard view like imovie has but with steriods like first cuts software

ganging

a tracker

send to motion

proper versioning and notes around that

versioning tools for deliverables, like roles but done better

audio mixer that works and connects to external controller

AVCintra MXF export for UK DPP

“I don’t think it wise to subject the nice folk on the techniques forum to the periodic rantings of Aindreas, it might prove traumatic.”

you never know you have him guest star on every forum, ranting as he does best

[Ben Scott]

I think it would good to have some sort of big light system (bigger than that in the marks timeline) to say which mode you are currently in, its not so obvious when not using a davinci panel and can easily cause mistakes

[Ben Scott]

sometimes it is difficult to tell that the panel has had modifier keys pressed, its a single press then press command button needed

if you aer having trouble with panel, try no panel in preferences resolve. restart resolve, turn artist panel back on, restart resolve again. may come good

with the rotary knobs, use them like buttons to navigate to a menu then they will change to choices needed and will work as knobs

[Ben Scott]

track effect could be used with light clipping of signal throughout, probably better with luma and RGB values

for saturated sections make a corrector and save as still, then apply as grade additionally to the existing grades on suspect shots. e.g. create some grade fixes for things like bright reds isolated through saturation curves or keyers

[Ben Scott]

it may be that a track based correction could be used in similar way to limit the whole piece

[Ben Scott]

how much is the blackmagic teranex box?

it can be used as an ultrascope and is thunderbolt connecting into macmini

worth a look if you dont have a alchemist type box and need that scope

[Ben Scott]

i have had similar issues

when playing back graded shots that need to get up to speed to cache there is choppy playback of sound

seems shots with no grade on them playback better

odd

[Ben Scott]

see that cineform has a free codec for gopro cameras and that seems to encode out from resolve, for the encoding in fcp 7 timeline for dissolves I found the cheapest is neoscene which should be fine for many 2d applications

[Ben Scott]

I have been outputting blackmagic 2vuy file from avid pc with rgb output values for a whil reliably to fcp7
It reads as uncompressed not none codec

Will try a mac formatted drive with paragon to see if this helps eg not ntfs

We were writing to exfat drive

Haven’t properly seen the scopes out from resolve for the imported prores file as signal did realise that output at inputted levels mattered as did legal levels as working rec709

Not too sure the glue tools solution is a long term fix, how do the clients get back the fcp7 timeline with rec709 easy to use files
