1) as a colorist, you don’t edit footages, but you get them from editors. Editors will NOT use Davinci, sir that’s why you’ll have to import their cuts, and match them to the offline edit reference file. Of course you can edit your footage in Davinci too if you’re also the editor of the project.
XML import is a way to act like a bridge between editing softwares and Davinci, just as AAF, and EDL.

2) usually yes. You can also colour correct source footage, but that’s not an usual way.

3) Lower right corner there is a slider, or Alt/Option and scroll

4) IMHO if there’s and issue with the XML import, then it has to do something with the settings, and not the applications. IF your FCP project is linked to the original source files (which are name, reel name, and timecode correct), your XML points to these files, then Resolve should find them in the given folder in no time.

5) You can colour grade the raw files, but you will have to face with two things: more things to render, and after edit you don’t know if your grades will be consistent between cuts or not.

ah, I see, if it can’t be used with other panels then there’s no point of buying it.
Thanks Juan.

great! glad to help

[Laco Gaal]

no, it should exist as soon as you have Resolve is installed.
I’m sure you checked it in your USER/Library folder, but this should be in your root Library folder!

[Laco Gaal]

just find it in your LUT folder.
mac: Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/LUT
win: C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\LUT\

I’m sure someone could help you, if you would share your system configuration (hardware, and software)

thanks Joe, that helped in a lot of things:

– I should find a GUI card that can be in the Mac Pro, doesn’t need as much power as the current GTX570.
– and I shouldn’t put the GTX570 and the Titan together in the exp box.

Thanks Joe, you’re helpful as always. (btw we can make that GT6 race happen sometime:)

what is a better setup currently for generating DNX36 dailies (quarter-res)? A RR-X, or a multi-GPU setup?

thanks

[Laco Gaal]

you can link them together, and put them into the same group, in the manual pg 652 describes how you can use it, and also how can use different ripple modes.

thanks, I’ll try to memorise it.
Although it would be nice to have a switch:)
