I really like the name mangler app for these tasks. Name mangler + find & replace in an XML.

Get the Flanders. You want hd-SDI monitoring, and you want external scopes. Flanders scopes on their monitors don’t provide the snazzy functions on techtronics scopes but, it’s a good start. Another option is a seperate system for a scopebox or ultrascope.

I very much appreciate this Beta strategy. I think that letting the userbase jump on, and helping get resolve further ahead in terms of usability.

Unless resolve 9 has added some crazy speed change tech I’m not aware of,, I would never do speed changes in resolve. You need frame analysis to create intermediate frames, not just frame doubling. Currently I usually use AE warp, but in the past have used shake, compressor (it has ‘optical flow’), twixtor, even FCPX has decent speed change tools in there.

In a similar situation I was able to do this,but it required my friend who is good in terminal, to set the specific permissions correctly with sudo commands.
It requires very specific permissions to get working. But there is a way to do it.

Sacha beat me to it.
Track Mode is your friend. Be careful with it though…

The whole control surface needs to be mappable. That’s all. I don’t really know why it’s so hard or taken so long.

Chris Adams makes a good point.
DSLR H.264 footage is a main offender. It’s so smushed down that any sort of keying is next to impossible.

That’s the really sad thing about FCPX, all of the underlying algorithms it seems to use are really top notch. It’s great for color accurate conversions from DNxHD, it’s a good keyer, etc… It’s just got a shitty interface, it’s not stable and it’s bad for handling any project of any complexity.
I think the keyer in Davinci is pretty lacking, but I can usually work around it. My #1 pet peeve is how the “Grow/Shrink” grows in these little diamond patterns as opposed to something useful. #2 is how finicky the saturation control is. You just can’t do any fine control with it.
The tracking though, is sublime.

Apple *really* needs nVidia GPU options it seems.
I’m running a Mac Pro 2010 model, with a GTX285, and it runs like a dream, output through my Blackmagic Decklink 3d.
I’m cutting h.264 and XDCAM EX together on a single timeline, without conversion, without hiccups.
I’m cutting a corporate video right now, and using the search function almost anytime to look for a clip, and it’s really sweet.
Titles with Tiff’s on top of video? NO RENDERING.
