Michael, thank you for your response. I agree perhaps that I should pay someone to do this. The film I produced is streaming in July and even though 5.1 was an option I feel it to be a more advantageous for the platforms. As for myself I gave been a cinematographer / editor for over 30 years in the film industry to include mixing my on audio in…

So in the 6 tracks I have for exporting 5.1, I need to send the music to both LF and RF. I have only one mixed down music file so do I copy this file and place on two tracks pointing each one to the LF and RF respectively. The dialogue Im sending to the front center and then the same question applies I have if sending the effects to both rear speakers.

Richard I just stumbled upon the cause. All the clips with Noise Reduction. If I take off noise reduction the frames go back to normal. I even took a perfect clip with no problems and applied noise reduction and it instantly became cropped. Possible lack of vram maybe. I have 6GB. I did start getting warnings last week about low memory swap.

Im just finish editing a feature and now trying to finish up the trailer. I loaded up my project today and the absolute strangest thing I have seen within the color grading page. Many clips throughout the feature and my trailer that have been colored via gallery created LUT stills have taken the clip and cropped it although technically its not…

Well i figured out the problem myself. Upgrading to 17.4 was the problem. Nothing but bugs. Went back to 17 and all is perfect.

Well after years as an editor I thought I saw it all. Recently updated to 17.4 and just started ingesting footage from a feature I have in production. I was putting together a few dailies and giving it a basic LUT that leans toward the color grade we prefer. No matter what clip or sequence we add, the minute I add the LUT, the clips go off…

David you may be on the right track. 99 percent of the footage is Red footage but I have a few clips from a drone at 24 frames per second as oppose to 23.976. The total running time is 1 hour and 40 minutes for this feature.

UPDATE: I also found a few clips where we shot on video at 29.97 for an effect.

Im exporting out of Resolve 16 using the Pro Tools setting. Im sizing the video export to 1080 low resolution as it is for reference anyway. Then I’m adding about 240 handles per sound editor. They can open the project with no problem but the audio starts out in sync and drifts. By the end of the movie its off at least 3 seconds.

Trying to export a feature film for sound editing only to have project out of sync when importing into Protools. Sample rates (48) are the same as original and the frame rate is the same (23.976). I can export out as single tracks wav format with no problem and its in sync. However I need the AAF for separated clips for sound editor.

David, thank you for reaching out. I keep the cache deleted as Im not using cache option. Im using Resolve 16. My RAW setting is full resolution if that is what your asking. UPDATE: It seems I found a work around. If I replace the clip(S) with the original its fine. That just doesn’t make sense. Is the clip in the time line not pointing back to…

Im pulling my hair out here. Ive been editing on a feature for three months and have been sending low rez files to producer along the way for Time code edits. Suddenly out of nowhere Im now getting intermittent single black frames on occasion after rendering. Its only in a few places during the film and to make matters worse the black frames are…

Thank you guys for the info. As indicated by David, once I spoke to the station (CBS affiliate) They told me to edit as I normally would and they would convert on their end before air. The only thing i did on my end was set my timeline to 1080 (final broadcast size) although I shot in 4K, so as to reframe may footage so it would not be letterboxed…

Guys Im stumped. 30 years as a DP/Editor and I just finished editing a 30 sec spot to run regionally inside the Super Bowl. However they are asking for a 1080I deliverable in 29.97. We have always shot in progressive on the Red cameras and never had a problem. I can’t find anyone who can tell me how do you convert to Interlace in Resolve 16. I…
