Hey Dan, can you help all of us out?
I haven’t heard of anyone who has gotten the Avid roundtrip working correctly so far, except for a baked mixdown with a preconform EDL. Maybe they’re all staying tight-lipped for now. Do motion effects work? How about rendered media? How do you achieve a successful relink when returning to Avid?

Thanks in advance…

Get the 55 inch Panny VT-30. Tremendous blacks, rock solid consistency with no drift, submenu calibrated THX mode using a good spectroradiometer will knock your socks off, and you can get it to match the Flanders almost exactly. Best part – $2200. Add $400 for a quality calibration and you’re still way under $3K, delivered.

In the words of Homer Simpson, “Woo-hoo!”

Now if you good folks at BMD would kindly start shipping the much anticipated UltraStudio 3D you would make my summer!

June 16, 2011 at 7:27 am in reply to: 8.0 still missing true C-mode!! Please fix

BTW, Charlie, traditionally C-mode is source order and A-mode is master order (first edit at 1:00:00:00, etc.) C-mode was used for auto assemblies of linear online edits, so each source reel would be loaded only once and all shots from each reel layed in to the master in their appropriate places.

Well that workaround is interesting in that it does actually default to a true C-mode sort by source, but it strangely does so as the default A-mode timeline, and when you toggle to C-mode is acts as an A-mode for the original preconform. What this means is you can actually grade in a C-mode workflow of the original preconform (Resolve calls this A-mode for the new session), but when it comes time to render the master, there is no way to have it render in original show order (what Resolve now calls the new C-mode for this session), only in source order (the new A-mode). So it cannot be used as a workaround. Very frustrating. Please correct this BMD, please!! I’m begging again.

Thanks.

Hi Rohit

Did your team manage to fix C-mode availability in preconform??
Oh please, oh please…

No, Jake. You’d know if I were kidding. Just being logical. Seems pretty simple to have Resolve apply the source code and reel to the master file in a preconform workflow. It already reads the EDL and splits the file based on the EDL. Why not apply source code based on the EDL as well?

All kidding aside, someone at BMD agrees with me and apparently they’re including this fix in the next update. No kidding, really.

Could you have used the editing functions to split the clips at your transition points then added the 2 frame dissolves on each? Then you’d just add the correct grade to every other shot. An editorial solution instead of a keyframe one.

Any solution on this yet? Have you found a workaround?
