what frame rates are you working in. I’m guessing 29.97, as you said it was a 1:07 offset which equals 37 frames…but is that the frame rate you worked in in fusion as well? Is I possible the matte you created is 23.98 and resolve is bring it back in at a different frame rate?
(you sure do have a lot of issues with mattes :))

is your audio imported or linked?

what joe said…. get your colorist to put bars at the head of his output. Look at that on the scopes of what ever you are bringing it back into.
Does your colorist have a calibrated screen? Is he using scopes? you said he is inexperienced…look at his scopes on the shots that are too dark, or too washed out…how do they look on his scopes? Is he crushing the blacks, but his screen looks ok? (or vice versa?)

I play with the channels all the time. I usually use tiffs, not pngs.
can you post a frame of the png to try on my box?
As i said, i’ve never seen this. Working on a timeline right now with a keyable tiff animation, and i’m not getting that
behaviour. I step in an speed change mattes/fills all the time. I wonder if it has something to do with the file creating a RT alpha vs a non RT alpha?Glenn

You arent manually locking the track yourself?
If you right click on the v2 or whatever track do you have the option to unlock it.(Ive never seen that behaviour from an imported file)

When you bring in those files as keyable elements, you are basically bringing in a nested clip within Avid.
Key channel, fill channel, and a matte key effect added on top.
Double clicking it simply reveals the key and the fill.
If you want to alter the speed, or the size of one or both, then you can either double click to expose the workings, and add your effects to them, or you can actually drag the items out of the container, and place the tracks beside each other on the timeline. Note, bringing the first item out is pretty straight forward. Bringing the second item out could cause your timeline to ripple as the empty matte key container will be deleted, and Avid will want to fill in the space…just be aware. Some situations dictate alt dragging the clips out instead.
If you do remove them, do your adjustments, and then stack them on top of each other…matte on top I believe…and add a matte key effect back onto the matte clip. (depending on the matte, you may need to invert the key.)
It wont be as concise, as it will now occupy to video tracks, but it will work the same way.Glenn

I don’t use FCPx, but in the Avid world I would do a round trip. Ignore scaling when you bring the shots in, color them, export with the round trip setting back to Avid.
Back in Avid, import the new aaf, and all the clips are now colored and contain any effects/transformations they originally had in Avid.
That’s the whole idea of the round trip workflow.

Unfortunately frame by frame painting is extremely difficult to do..and not look obvious.
I wish you luck.

Ya, the workflow does work, but it is best to do it as designed…use the preset, and combine those files with the aaf that is created. I hope that solves your issue.
You can change some of the settings in the preset workflow, but you have to start by pressing that button.
Creating your own setting without starting with the preset is well documented in this forum as causing issues.Glenn

Wow, I just downloaded the video…the stills don’t do it justice. The true fix is tracking and cloning frames.
Maybe eyebrow on one pass, forehead on another. I didn’t realize it passed right over her face like that.Looks like a job for fusion and Mocha. Is this the only shot it happens on, or is the whole video like this?
