Thanks for the info. I guess what I meant by “well” was “at all”. Lol. Ok. So reconform it is.

Yup. Thanks! Figures this out not long after I posted. I don’t usually think about mixed rates because FCP and other editors handle it so well. Mixed frame rates are common. What is a workflow to handle this in Resolve? conform everything before you start editing in FCP?

This thread is right on time. I think this is a similar enough question to continue the thread.

I’m very new to Davinci Lite. I’m exporting xml from fcpx 10.0.3 to Davinci Lite 8.2 (tried the beta, but crashes on xml import). The clips on the Davinci conform page correspond to the fcpx project in terms of where the cuts are and the source of each clip. But, it seems to be selecting a different section of the source clip (like a slip edit)to play. Some of the clips have the correct in and out points, some do not. Can’t figure out why it would do this.

The FCPx project is simple: cuts only, a couple of speed changes (slow), one audio track, and a handful of connected clips.

thanks,
Imari

Thanks a ton, Simon/Andy! I got it now. This will definitely shave some time making modifications in fcpx. (12 minute how to video with arrows and text moving everywhere – I was pulling my hair out!)

Ok. Thanks. I’ll try again…

I don’t think I’ve uploaded images. Not sure what I’m doing wrong?

[Imari Childress]

Ok. Here are the images showing the problem. I’ve never uploaded images here.. hope I did it right…

[Imari Childress]

Yes. I’ll post those pics ASAP as soon as I’m done cloning my drive. In the meantime, though… I tried rearranging the widgets. I even created several new rigs and dragged the widgets into them in hopes this would carry over to fcpx. I created a completely new generator to test and got the same results.

Running fcpx 10.0.3, motion 5.0.2 and latest lion version.

Yes. Reveal in finder points me to an alias which points to the original psd file. I opened the original file with Photoshop and it’s fine.

Thanks so much. I had been reading your other related posts on this matter for days before I finally posted. I just found out why this was driving me nuts. I hope this is helpful to someone! This is what I learned: The spatial conform property does not affect a compound clip or a synchronized clip (a synchronized clip, I suppose, is also technically a compound clip). I tried setting spatial conform to “none” on an unsynchronized version of a clip and the image became over-sized in the view as it should. When I tried this with the same exact unsynchronized version of the clip, nothing happened. I also confirmed that spatial conform has no effect on regular compound clips either. What I had to do with the synchronized clips and the compound clips was to open the clip in its own timeline and set the spatial conform from there.

Another weird FCPx quirk. It’s especially odd, because you can change other properties (like scaling) to synchronized and compound clips. Another thing that needs a fix, imho. Especially for those of us that like to edit in a native resolution timeline then bump down to a smaller timeline for cropping, “fake” camera moves, etc…

thanks, again!
