Thanks David for your explanation.

I think I’m going to go with what you suggested. So I’ll just disregard the h.264 and just make all the cutdown with the ProRes 422 file. The delivery page is where I just change the resolution of the file. Seems easy enough, hopefully ☺

I was afraid of loss of quality, hence the concern I had. Thanks again David for your insight!

Thanks for the quick reply David.

I am very new to Resolve, so bare may novice questions.

Correct, there will be 2 different output. I’d figure since I receive 2 master files that I will keep them at it’s original format and not have Resolve output new media. Now, if that what you mention is the most efficient, than I’ll go that route.

I believe in Media Composer you can still link the original footage as “same as source” in a 2K project, make all the revisions for both video files, and change the project settings according to what resolution I want prior to output. Since you mentioned the delivery page in Resolve, could I essentially do the same? Bring both footage in, make the revisions, than on the delivery page change the resolution for each video file?

I know there’s tons of paths to take, but I’m curious if there’s any other efficient way to tackle this.

David, truly appreciate your input.

I’m actually dealing with a similar scenario.

Shane, are you stating that I should transcode the offline sequence in Avid for my media to be back online?

Melissa, any luck relinking all your offline media? Any other methods you may have attempt to get your media back online?

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

Super awesome of you taking the time to respond to my post. Really appreciate it. A few things to clarify.

1) If my project delivery is to be 2.40, than on the FrameFlex box, I would leave the Frame aspect ratio as is (2.40:1), but under “Reformat”, it should be selected to “pillarbox/letterbox” correct? That kind of looks right on my end.

2a) Now I believe my delivery will be 1920×1080 by 16:9. If so, should the Frame aspect ratio be 16:9? Under “Reformat”, should it be left as “stretch” or “center crop”.

2b) If I edited a good portion of the film with the Frame aspect ratio of 2.40:1, and now have to revert back to an HD 1920×1080 16:9 output, would I have to match frame back all the linked clips in the timeline and apply the correct Frameflex setting to each and every clip? Would the applied Frameflex setting be updated in the timeline or would I have to edited that back in?

Regarding “debayer”, I’m running Avid MC 2018 and that option is now under the “Format” tab, and a check box called “proxy”. There you can change the resolution for performance if I’m correct. My workstation seems to be capable of editing 4K footage while linking, but was curious if the path I took could spell trouble down the line.

Thanks a bunch Michael!
