I use waveform for exposure and parade for color balance. Never heard of waveform for use with regards to color balancing. Occasionaly look at vector scope for color balance.

1. If then conditions. For example, have particles per second be set to 0 at a certain time, or position of another layer; could also have the particles move in the opposite direction of another layer, such as a text layer.

2. The ability to add sliders to add to an expression. For example, have an object move around like it is a bit crazy. Then with the slider controls I can keyframe the values that go into the random expression.

For example: wiggle(Freq,Amp)
Then have have slider for the frequency and amplitude (amount). I could keyframe the value or add a random expression to make things more interesting. I could have a minimum and maximum frequency, same goes for amplitude. The random expression would then determine what the amplitude and frequency is at any given moment.

Hope this clarify things. I do like Motion, guess I do not have a good understanding of parameters.

Thanks for sharing this. Interesting to see FCP X and Motion as part of a more advanced workflow. I just wish Motion had expressions and support for Trapcode Particular, which, in my honest opinion, is the best particle emitter out there.

Just noticed Resolve 11 has an edit index, assuming this is some type of timeline index.

I have decided to resolve not to subscribe to CC but rather be an avid user of FCP X. 🙂

Sorry, looks like Adobe won! I mean just paying a monthly rental fee is so exciting. 🙂

That would be sweet! Wish they would bring back with it the 50s style title sequence.

Yes, the camera would be of the 2.5K variety. I was looking at products offered by G Technology but very open to any suggestion. I might talk with John Davidson, sounds like he might have a very good option. I take it that USB 3.0 would outpace Firewire 800 if my understanding is correct. I do have additional internal drive docks available in the Mac Pro but thinking external would be a better approach.

Look forward to any additional advice, even from Mr. Tim Wilson himself.

Oliver,

Just read the article. Some of the workflows I heard of, others I have never knew about or considered before. Thank you for another clear, concise and to the point article as always. Thank you for the sound advice as well. Thank you to all as well. This is why I love the Cow and this forum in particular.

I do have one quick question, to which I believe I might have the answer but just want to confirm it. I am going to adopt the workflow as suggested in your post and apply the LUT inside of FCP X. Should this LUT be removed before going back to Resolve for final color grading or can I leave in place and remove it in Resolve?

Again, thank you to all that have responded.

I plan to render out proxies from Resolve first, edit in FCP X then back to Resolve first. Will apply a LUT as well. Going to use the workflow as Denver Riddle uses.
