[David Baud] “Which video file format is it? have you noticed the issue with other file format?”
It’s an audio issue, not a video issue. The audio files are separate from the video files.
[David Baud] “Could it be an issue with the audio tracks configuration in PrP?”
No. It’s a resolve issue for sure. It can read the metadata fine, but it labels it incorrectly
[David Baud] “Which versions of PrP and DR are you using?
“See my previous post.

[David Baud] “it might be helpful if you explain how you created your XML file in the first place”
I’m exporting from Premiere and importing into Resolve. I’m using Premiere 2020, latest version and build, and Resolve 16.2.4
[David Baud] “in the Media page, have you tried to select all the clips that you want to change the audio settings for and then select Clip attributes, Audio tab and make your change?”
It’s a fair question, but not really applicable to my issue. I did do this, but all the audio channel assignments for the clips are as they should be. Resolve, upon importing the XML, parses out each audio channel to a new track – splitting stereo tracks into dual mono tracks, etc. This is good. It’s what I need.
However, all the tracks revert to channel 1 for each clip. So I figured, ok, I’ll just manually change each clip’s audio manually to the correct channels. When I do this in the clip attributes dialogue in the timeline, channel is changed, and the waveform is updated accordingly (see image 1 for how this should be). However, the label on the clip will continue to say Mix L (my audio’s channel 1 – see image 2). Or sometimes it’ll have one of the other channel labels. It makes very difficult to keep track of which clips have which channels assigned.
Furthermore, this doesn’t happen to every clip, but probably 90% of clips. If I were to close the project and open it back up the labels would be different. Some would be accurate, some still wrong, and some wrong in a new way.
It’s purely some sort of bug in the timeline. Maybe I just need to report it to Blackmagic. But if anyone knows a solution (or how to get the audio channel assignments to come in as it is in Premiere), much obliged.

Dan Ebberts for President!!
Thank you, and let me say how great you are for helping us lost souls through the expression darkness. This will help in so many ways. Another key to the “how do I make expressions work” puzzle.

It wasn’t quite as bad as I thought – I was even able to avoid tracking. I roto’d the character whenever he crossed the stain, masked out the stain throughout. I duplicated that base layer and slid it behind the mask, aligning the top the door. I applied a simple level to match color, and then for a shadow, put a BW gradient on a solid over the fill layer, rotated it to match the angle of the shadows in the scene, and the keyed the position to match the shadow going across. I messed with opacity of the shadow to further integrate.
Whew! Hope this helps some noob like me sometimes.

I’m an idiot. I was in the Edit panel instead of the Media panel. This is how much of a noob I am.
Problem solved!

Interesting. I’ll give this a shot!
What I just did wasn’t perfect, but it did reduce the wrinkles significantly.
1) Isolated the red dress using key/pre-comp/inverted track matte
2) used effect “change to color” on the isolated red dress layer, reduced opacity to 69%
3) masked it to just the most egregious section in the middle
3) duplicated this layer (with track matte)
4) added grain
5) tracked mask on the screen-left arm to have clean shadows, reduced red spillDefinitely a kind of ratchet version that isn’t a full fix, but might be good enough for government work (or boring instagram fashion brand work, in this case).
Am still eager to try out your method, Ivan. You suggest making it a 3D layer and using lights to create a more realistic effect?
Here’s my results. It actually works better in motion than still:

Yes, it is an unfortunate thing someone didn’t catch this on set and it goes to me. Still, if there any ideas out there on how to tackle this that do fall within the capabilities of AE, I would love to hear them.

I, too, would love to know how to add commas to this.

Just goes to show, there are still things to learn. Thank you Walter for helping me through this issue! While I don’t know how I got in this mess (I can say for sure that the frame rate of the comp was never changed, though perhaps the spacing of the keyframes was (an option-drag re-timing perhaps), I sure am grateful for you help in getting me out.
And I certainly didn’t know that about the motion blur.
Creative Cow kicks *** once again.

Weird. I’m having the reverse problem. In that I’m have the wrong frame show in a project in After Effects (that involved a pre-comp – I posted about it here: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/1126546 )
My solution was to import the After Effects comp into Premiere, wherein Premiere rendered it out correctly.
Are you guys using 2018 versions? (maybe you said that already but I can’t be bothered to check, haha)
