I am facing the same issue…
my project is set to fit to screen as scale image.
But on MY CM171, it’s showing coped image

My setup is
Resolve 12.5
Mac Pro with dell ultra sharp 24 inch monitor
FSI CM171 as my monitor
Ultra studio monitor with SDI OUT

Thanks for the reply

marc, i know I am asking for too much, but there’s limitations in budgets for our regional films so i will have to work this way, yes you are right I can check in some facility and make notes, I’ll exactly follow that. Sounds good to me.

but still default gamma in resolve is 2.4 and I’ve found out on other forums that 2.5 is good for this king of work in dark room. and d65 on monitor and rec 709 on monitor.

DCP guys do nothing here… they just convert the dpx / mov whatever we give them to and make dcp.

is it better to generate dcp from resolve or its better to give it to the dcp guys.?

thanks

The footage I am grading is red dragon 4K footage r3d files.

Yes footage is bit noisy as it was late evening shoot..

But was cache preview was ok not pixel to pixel
I’ll have to correct it, bad key I think !!

Hi

Agreed !

I noticed some how it calculates some data as it showed me all used clip size 996GB and when I started again it showed 7GB only but never started the process.

So started again,,

thanks for all the replay and discussion,, my problem is that the DOP has not shot with margin for crop so i just can not do center crop, i need to re-frame 4k/5k footage according to space / head room and all..

so whats the best way to do it?

thanks for the suggestion,

i just wanted to get both resolution if client wants 4k as well than I don’t need to go through all the sizing process again.

thanks

Oh… 585 is a typing mistake i did….

from resolve it renders 2048×858 as output but when i open the timeline in fcp x it shows like this i tried to match the timeline settings but fcp x doesn’t recognize the clip 2048×858 size and asks me to choose

i know i am doing something wrong here but can’t figure it out !!!

thanks for the reply.

I was confused about to the base edit.. now there is multiple format issue also. some part of it is shot on 4k with red dragon. and some part of it is shot on Canon 1DC 4k.

I need to deliver it in 2k so was just confused for 2.35:1 / 2.39:1

I need to give DPX with separate wav files. than they will do print or dcp or whatever needed.

I think for print they ask 2.35:1 (not cropped) and dcp is 2.39:1 cropped.

But yes you are right need to ask distributor, I am editing it in 4k. my confusion is for resolve what should be my project settings for resolve for output.

I’ve one more question as you are experienced colorist.

I did a music video shot on BMD Cinema 4k. I edited it 2k dci cropped setting in fcpx. i color graded it in resolve and sent back to fcp in same 2k dci cropped. but in resolve the files are scaled down in time line. the rendered file from resolve are correctly rendered in 2048×585.

I don’t know what I did wrong.

fcp setting 2048×858
resolve setting 2k dci cropped.
imported xml and ignored sizing and cropped in resolve
graded it and exported back to fcpx.

any suggestion??

thanks for your reply..
