Thanks for the feedback. I tired the “remove subclip” routine, but I’m still missing something really obvious.

in a 20 minute timeline, Resolves’s import turns up 4 hours, as if it just plays the entire clip, not an edit.

I’ve complained about this earlier last week. Hopefully BMD will fix multi cam support on the next update.

One work around will be to re-edit each shot as a regular edit. FCP) 1st, select all edits, and right click, hitting “collapse edits”

Then matchback each video edit hitting “F” key, then “F10”. That should match each edit with a clean version of each cut. XML as usual, and you should have better success.

These issues come up time and time again. If I have just a straight cut movie, then no problem. However, multitrack edits have constantly given me problems both in red, and prores alike. Miss match frame rates are common to TV and documentaries, no? Many low budget shows hodge-podge timelines. As a colorist, you don’t want to take time to re-render whole timelines, before you grade them.

Please forgive my attitude on this. After completing a 30 minute show this morning in Resolve, I noticed 50% of my timeline was completely wrong. 60 missing edits, whole sequences of 23.98fps interviews were completely wrong. Resolve just made a mess of it.

I re-graded the whole show again in Apple Color. Color loaded this show PERFECTLY! It rendered it out and opened in FCP absolutely 100% correctly. If Apple can do it right, why can’t BMD. FCP7 will still be on our systems for a few more years.

IMPORT IS IMPORTANT!!! I don’t want to waist hours and hours fixing a timeline, when when I’m under deadline.

So be clear… The AVID session footage is MXF. I’m trying to color the mountain of Red files spread cross 3 different drives.

What would be the right settings for AVID AAF, and the right settings for Resolve?

[Eric Chase]

This happens to me as well, working in Snow Leopard. It’s rare, but does happen with MC color

[Eric Chase]

Sorry for being dense here.. I’m on MC 5 mac

How do you output a aaf “correctly”?

and

Should’t you put the files in the media pool first?

[Eric Chase]

I read everything there and I still don’t understand the right settings to import an Avid session into Resolve.

[Eric Chase]

I don’t know how to old the shift key, but i had a couple questions for you?

1) Do you have heavy latency on the MC color panels? Apple Color is quite quick, but Resolve seems to take a lot more time.

2) Saturation knob stays at 0 when turning it up and down?

3) MC color doesn’t respond after the computer restart?

Please let me know if you or other people have same problems.

[Eric Chase]

Nice to hear from you, Sascha!
I looked closely at the manual and couldn’t find anything for a “blend node”
Where would that be?

I did see if you labored over dubbling up the shot on a secondary track, turning it into a screen mode, then added blur to that, seems a much more difficult round about way, than to add a “screen blend mode” sort of speak to the end of the shot.

I’ve told BMD with a similar issue. After restarting the computer, I’ll need to go to preferences, select none in the pannel.. close preferences…. open preferences… select avid artist color… restart Resolve.

THEN… it works.
