No, there is no variable speeds change. Also, as I have mentioned, it will not work even without bringing in the XML

[Dmitry Kitsov]

This is a catch 22. You really should not grade the footage but if you do the grade should be purely primary grade, in that you must not affect the relationship between the blue screen and the foreground, as that would drastically reduce the effectiveness of the key. Anyway I am not sure who is running your show but the usual practice is to do the visual effects VFX artists so you may grade the foreground and the background plate separately. Those mattes are generated as the part of the keying process.

Please read the first paragraph again.

“I have noticed that in a lot of movies, the colorists keep the darkest parts completely black while the area between shadows and gamma are colored. Like teal/cyan in the Transformers case.”

So, my point precisely. I do not understand why are you trying to use log controls for what, as Alexis described in his book, curves are pretty effective.

[Dmitry Kitsov]

Curves.
Side note: Stig, please do not take it personally, but I think you are in need of some fundamentals, may I suggest great book https://www.amazon.com/Color-Correction-Handbook-Professional-Techniques/dp/0321713117/ref=la_B001IODHRA_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347124415&sr=1-1.
Between that book, owners manual and the warren eagles training series (some of wich are free) most of your questions that you have asked here (which are truly really basic) would be answered in a very systematic and logical manner. I have found above sources to be a great asset in my training.
Good luck.

[andrew smith] “A few things I notice right off the bat after upgrading from the beta:

1) Previous/Next keyframe is still not working on keyboard shortcut and menu select?

Works fine for me.

2)The other thing i notice is when using option+f to go into the larger view in the Color tab enable/disable node or grade is no longer working.

+1, also doesn’t work with a full screen mode.

3) When i try to name a node its a little hand icon only so i cant tap or click above a node anymore – only right click works now.

This had seem to be done on purpose in order not to annoy people who do not want to rename their nodes. After you name it just clicking the name will let you edit the name without a right click.

4)Mouse scroll to zoom in/out of a shot not working – have to command + or – to get that working.

True, however if you hold the alt/option and scroll this will work

Anyone else having these problems?? “

Now, my own:

5) Thank you for fixing Cineform Export! 🙂

6) Thank you for improving the UI of Key Framing window, now, let’s deal with the scrolling/zooming in a window with just a mouse, please.

7} Why, again, can I not scroll past the current screen in the Conform, Color and Key frame timelines with arrow keys?

8) In the key frame timeline and in the Color page timeline, why can I not scroll past the edges of the current screen while dragging the mouse?

9) What is the reason for the Shortcuts/Menu items to become grayed out only to reappear after a relaunch?

10) Transitions conforming with more then 3 mouse clicks and only after using rolling edit tool?

Hmmhmm, I guess we do need a punctuation mark for sarcasm…

[Dmitry Kitsov]

Next key frame, previous key frame shortcuts require you to be in the corresponding mode: all/color/PTZR, it seems.

[Dmitry Kitsov]

Make your own HD bar chart in resolve with power windows and using waveform and vectoroscope as a guide. This way you will be sure what color values are generated.

You might want to refer to the manual in the whole mixed/ unmixed dealio.
