Working in Resolve…
1-create a mixer node
2-in the layer mixer, change the composite type to ADD
3-add a node after the layer mixer and saturate to tastethis pretty much washes out the background, no detail

Recently purchased hardware that allows me to record in 4K. Have begun to “dabble” in it. Workflow thru Resolve and Media Composer to produce 1080P content and DVD distribution for independent film production. As of this point, I have not been thru the entire process, end to end, still developing workflow. Biggest drawback to 4K is monitoring 4k as currently capable of monitoring HD. Record time in 4K is limited to <1 hr per take, not too bad, but, cumbersome.

On your installation disk(or downloaded file) you should have a folder with Avid codecs LE and Avid codecs PE. Make sure the licensed version is installed, I think it’s the PE, not available for download from the Avid site without logging in to your account.

Seriously, as you’ve noticed, everyone and their cousin is stepping into the biz. What sets me apart, as a professional, is my positive and upbeat attitude. Anyone can be an editor, but, it takes a special person to go at the job with enthusiasm, commitment, and energy. Potential employers know this….and they can’t resist someone who’ll bring what few others can bring to the job.
Of course, all this is assuming the technical skills are there to start with. An experienced,technically savvy person will beat those garage editors, every time, hands down.It does take a certain amount of self confidence to pull it off at the potential hire interview. Take that in there with you.

Victoria,
The community I work in is no different from the vast majority. There’s plenty of competition for work; and, the pay is very low. What I’ve found, over the years, is that there’s nothing like developing a good reputation to set myself apart from the garage editor. When the reputation exists for being dependable and of high quality, the work seems to find me. And yes, many times I’ll take the job because of the fun I’ll have, more than what they want to pay. I know, you can’t pay the rent or the grocery bill with the fun to be had, but, somehow, things always seem to work out if I just keep smilin’.

It’s worthwhile to note that the colors that are shown in the monitor window are not accurate. So, unless you’ve calibrated your monitors with the color management software provided by resolve 10.1, you can’t trust what you’re looking at. The closest truth monitor you can have is an external monitor that’s been calibrated for Rec709.

What Michael Philips said notwithstanding, the Media Composer nomenclature is confusing and ambiguous. In Avid-speak, “RGB” means MC expects the data to be full range (0-1023) and so it will remap the data. “601/709” means MC expects the data to be “broadcast range” (64-940); and so it will import/export as is, without remapping.

yeah, I followed the guide published by Cal_man. BTW, I’ve had 3 separate posts deleted every time I mentioned them…oh well, go figure.
There’s a few nuances to the setup that aren’t mentioned in the quick guides. One has to “find” the C6 meter and the Blackmagic pattern generator before it will work.

yeah…every time I write that name, my post is deleted with a message saying I’m not allowed to say that….go figure.
Look at this thread…
