Thank you. My grader actually has that so we’ll give it a try. As long as I am squeezing out everything from the 4K video my end which it sounds like I am doing.

Thank you Tod and Riccardo – that’s really helpful clarification. I kind of figured that video had no dpi but wasn’t sure whether I was grabbing these stills at the highest possible resoultion from within Resolve. I guess if my timeline resolution matches my source material resolution and I am exporting as TIFFs then I am? There is no better way…

Thank you Riccardo

I have checked the Timeline resolution and it matches the footage – 3840 x 2160 Ultra HD – see grab. The person doing the grading of these stills, prior to printing, says that the TIFFs that I am sending her are 72 dpi (based on 135×75 cm) and 300 dpi would be much better for printing. I am not used to setting dpi for video…

Best way to grab high res stills from 4k video for printing

I have some 4k infrared footage, shot on a modified A7SMKII. I need to grab some stills from this footage and these will ultimately be used to create prints. I want the highest resolution grabs I can possibly get. I have used the ‘Grab still’ option in Resolve and then exported as TIFF. Is this going to extract the maximum possible resolution out…

Thanks. I don’t have After Effects but could use it for a month or so, I guess. I was hoping there might be something in Da Vinci Resolve Fusion.

morphing advice

I am working on a project where I will be filming individual trees on 3 locked-off cameras: thermal imaging, infrared and standard 6k. I will do my best to line up the shots through choice of lenses and positioning the cameras as close as possible to each other to minimise mismatches in angles.

Ultimately I will need to create a composite image…

miniDV capture woes...

I need to capture and archive 70 miniDV tapes for a friend. I didn’t think this would be too difficult but I am struggling to find an effective solution. I have a Sony HVR-M15J deck connected to my MBP via Thunderbolt 3 -2- FW800. The laptop sees the deck. I absolutely need an option where I can capture tapes without having to watch over them – I…
