Okay, worth a try. I also did an AAF export and was able to import the clips into a drop frame project, but none of the clips re-linked properly (not even close). Anyway, I think that my workflow will be to continue editing in non-drop, and then keep the calculations in my head, make my final, flattened exports, then bring those into a drop frame project and re-export with the proper DF timecode track. Considering these are :60, :30 and :20 promos, I think that I can manage that.
With that being said, as a new Resolve user, this is a glaring issue. I can’t think of any other NLE that won’t allow you to at least change from ND->DF timecode. I’m even baffled as to why you can’t have multiple timelines with different framerates, in one project. If you offer “mixed frame rate support” then you should also offer timeline frame rate adjustments.
Thanks for the reply!

Got it. Not sure if you are able to drag the DNxHD files into your media panel rather than import through Resolve, but that seems to be an acceptable work around for me now.

Rare indeed, that’s why I had never done it before, and yes, that’s what the client wanted. The spot is all graphics, and they wanted to keep everything progressive.
I will save my custom set-up, and dust it off should this arise again.
Best,

Hey thanks for the tip! We just took delivery of the deck, and there’s definitely a steep learning curve. I’ll let everyone know if I make any breakthroughs with the ghosting issues.

Yes, that’s what I was afraid of. I think it’s a contrast thing, and the downconversion process is not able to sample the color differences as precisely. There is also a small (maybe 1 or 2 pixel) stroke around the edges of the text that might be amplifying this (not my graphics). But like I said, it’s still much crisper than the SRW-5800 deck’s letterbox output, which I would describe as “a bit soft”. I usually prefer to re-title for SD anyway, so that I can re-position, and even increase the size of text where needed.
Thanks!

You need to check what video is feeding back into your system. I loop the deck signal back to my box, so that the card can lock onto the same signal that I am lying off to (and that jive with my easy set-up). More than likely, that’s the culprit, and not your easy set-up. Hope this help comes in time!

Not sure if anyone was monitoring this issue, but in the interest of closing the loop, a clean re-install of Leopard fixed the problem.

Thanks for the info. Tried everything you said, and still no luck. Called Adobe, and they recommended to try a fresh erase and install of Leopard, and two days later, AE works! Of course I was trying to avoid a complete re-install, but sometimes, especially in our business, it’s just good practice.
Thanks again!

Did you try uninstalling, and then re-installing the AJA drivers?

I get that issue when I leave the “Mastering” setting on, instead of the “Editing” setting. Mastering, by default, adds a trailer of 5 seconds of black to any edit. You can select “Editing” at the top center of the ETT window.
Other than that, I’ve never had this issue.
