Smart Bins and Edit Index. Oh, and CTRL-A for a quick search of all bins. Yup, it’s all there. Not obvious, which is duly Avid-esque, but sensible and straightforward (rather than endearingly bizarre Avid-esque kluge of antiquity).

Smart Bins and Edit Index. (Smart bins are great, powerful, mature, though sometimes it would be nice to just do a quick search of everything without setting one up. Anyway, good answers and much appreciated. )

Needless to say …

February 15, 2018 at 11:09 am in reply to: Media pool search — really doesn’t search all bins?Ah, thank you, it’s clunky but a smart bin is a way to find a clip in the media pool. Unfortunately there seems to be no way to search for a clip in the timeline. The DR editor is a wonderful thing, though clearly it still has a ways to go before it’s really ready for prime time. I’m using it, but sure am missing it’s structural mentor, the robust FCP7 (RIP)!

Okay, a weird omission on both counts for a video editor. Hm…

(To be sure, I’m not in the habit of attenuating other mixes unless they are not originally broadcast or cinema mixes or taken right off of an editing bench. The docu I’ve got in hand appears to be Lo/Ro or LCR not for broadcast, adapted — or upmixed with little change — for 5.1. To give an idea, the LKFS of the entire mix is -21. While the LKFS of just the dialogue track is… -21. It’s a talking heads doc with a nice sounding mix artistically, in fact, but not a mix balanced for a theater that I would be comfortable exhibiting.)

I can only use 2.0 monitors and flat-response headphones from within Resolve / NLE, and audition surround mixes externally on 5.1 / 7.1 studio monitors. Final mixes (and picture) are previewed in a cinema elsewhere.

Seemed to work for me many weeks ago in Resolve 14b, beefy iMac, El Capitan.
