Good. If people want the free advice from the Cow they need to see the ads that pay for it!

Look at the columns you have showing in the browser (you may need to scroll right to see them all). Are the columns for Video/Audio roles showing? If so, when you hit play, does it expand the roles column or twirl down your clip when you hit play instead of playing the footage? If so, hide those columns. You may need select another event then go back to the original vent to get it working again.

I sent feedback and purposely crashed it so I could send them the crash report too with info about how I crashed it. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I’m seeing the same behavior. Let’s file bug reports.

If your footage needs a specific look the DP should be providing it, or your colorist, or DIT. Especially if they shot for a particular LUT.
That said, Red Dragon Color 2 Gamma 4 are settings you would use in the Red Raw tab of your NLE or color program. If you were given ProRes files there’s not really a way to apply those settings.
Whoever gave you the ProRes files should have baked those settings in for you, or you will need to get the original Red files and set them yourself, then transcode to ProRes or DNxHD for your edit.
When you go the ProRes files, did you get any more information on how those files were created and the settings they used on the original media?

[Andrew Kimery] “Things like dupe detection, active window highlighting, sub-frame editing of audio transitions, faster timeline redrawing, entering TC w/o having to use “;” or “:”… are mainly quality of life improvements that all major NLEs eventually pickup. “
Do they all pick them up though? I know of one NLE that still doesn’t have dupe detection, and it’s debated a lot in this forum. LOL
Seriously though, you’re correct – a lot of what Blackmagic is adding are quality of life improvements. It’s the pace that they’re implementing them that I find incredible, and shows that they’re actively listening to users. Avid just now got a live timeline and its color corrector isn’t going to be updated until the end of the year. FCPX still doesn’t have an audio mixer whereas Davinci got Fairlight. For a company that basically started building their NLE from scratch a few years ago they’re making huge strides. I think it’s very exciting. And hopefully it’s keeping the three big As on their toes and motivating them to compete.
[Andrew Kimery] “Resolve still seems to be the backup QB of NLEs; it looks great on paper, everyone crows about its potential, but it can’t manage to get meaningful playing time over starters like X, MC and PPro.”
Agree 100%. It’s going to be hard for them to pull users away from X, MC, or PPRo. But kids just getting into editing? I think they have a huge opportunity there, especially for the low low price of free. And if you can get them on Resolve early, they may be able to slowly push the industry toward it. Or if one big player adopts it and makes it work it will start to turn heads (like FCP did back in the day).
I’ve cut a few things in Resolve to test it out (usually after every big release), and it’s not quite there yet. But every big release I go back and try it again, because I want it to get there. Maybe one day!

Everyone is playing catch up in some respects, but also innovating along the way. Blackmagic is just doing it faster than everyone else.

Do you ever sleep Oliver? This was just released! ????
Does Blackmagic ever sleep?!
For anyone interested in the new features, here’s an overview:
My jaw is on the floor at their pace of development. If only any other NLE developer was even half as responsive as they are.

Select Event 3. Select the clips you want to move to Event 1. Drag them to Event 1. Any keywords, LUTs, favorites, etc… that were applied to those clips when they were in Event 3 will carry over to Event 1.
Selecting just the keywords in Event 3 won’t work, because FCPX thinks you’re just wanting to move the keywords. But if you drag clips that have keywords on them in Event 3 and you drop them into Event 1 you will see those keywords show up in Event 1. Also, you cannot select a bunch of clips in Event 3 and drag them a keyword in Event 1. You need to drag it directly to Event1.
Try the above and let me know if it works. It should. If it doesn’t, there’s must be something else going on.
