This is completely content driven. Are you talking about using Revival or Resolve or both? Revival is BMD’s restoration specific tool… although in a major restoration job you may use both depending on what you are doing. Resolve has many tools that can be used for doing restoration.
I’ve done jobs that were 20 minutes of run time that took months. There have been other jobs that were feature length that took only a coulpe of weeks.
Budget usually drives the budget. A good operator can manually dust-bust a feature length AB reel in a few days. Using automation passes with manual can cut it down to less time. If there are warping issues or many frames that require manual reconstruction all bets are off.
The speed and quality are talent driven. If you have little or no experience then the learning curve will add to the time. Some types of processing such as RGB registration and stain removal can be time intensive. For instance I just finished a color registration fix on an entire feature and the processing took 2 1/2 weeks of processing time.

Thanks Sascha! That was a tedious test… well done.

Totally agree!

I think with the Desktop-2 xpander with 4 single wide slots you will not be able to fit anything else in the chassis if you are using 285’s or 480’s as they are double wide.
I was looking into this too. The price difference between the x2 and the x4 is about $500 on the B&H website. Having the 4 double wide slots will give you way more flexibility. You could have 3x GPU + RR which you would otherwise not be able to have installed.

Thanks! I got the import working. But, I cannot get the embedded Alpha channel to work. I’ve had to render out separate alpha channel sequence and link it back in Resolve. Do you know of a way to use the Alpha that is already in the file?
thanks!

I use RAID 5 via Fibre Channel on an Infortrend Eonstor 8 & 16 bay and I get realtime playback. So RAID 5 is not inherently problematic.

FYI, if you are trying to build subtitled versions in Resolve I don’t think it can be done yet. It looks like Resolve will not link to stills from an XML. In the v8 manual it says “Still images with greater then 1 frame duration” & “Freeze Frames” are not currently compatible. Boo!
Interestingly Resolve did read the 2nd video track from the XML and inserted events exactly where they were supposed to be in the time-line. Unfortunately they were just slugs. I’m sure it will be supported soon.
The new XML functionality is really cool in any case.

Get the MC Color if you will ever be using Smoke on OS X.

I’m trying to do this too!
