[Jeremy Garchow] “”XDROOT””

Bingo. The producer grabbed all the cards from the three cameras and transferred them onto a hard drive. The XDROOT folder caused the entire drive to be seen as a camera and also took away my ability to see any sub-folders on import. Moved that out and everything was back to normal. Whew.

[Steve Connor] “Personally I’d use Resolve to ingest and make Proxies, edit in FCPX then go back to Resolve for output

“

Exactly. If there is something in X I can’t do, then it’s a perfect time to use the software. And if the free version of Resolve can do that, it’s a fine use of the tool.

I am with you, Jeremy. I have been putzing on versions of Resolve since 10 and it’s not a great editor in comparison to X and (dare I say it) Premiere. I view it as a finishing box with all the “heavy-lifting” editorial happening in X.

I agree with Walter to a point about freelance editors need to know color correction. Yes, but knowing color correction does not equate to diving into Resolve color and knowing it inside and out. That’s not a great use of my time. Any color correction that I can’t do in X (or in the case of broadcast spots, won’t do in X in my studio) will go to Resolve and a trained colorist with a control surface, broadcast calibrated monitors and real scopes. I see no need to have my little company invest in that gear. I also see no need to force something to Resolve when it can be done in X, with plug-ins as needed.

Why the need to “jump”? Is X lacking something so important that you would jump to a beta product from a company just getting it’s feet wet in NLE’s? I will be interested in watching Walter’s experiences with a full blown series through Resolve. But I am not putting any client work of mine on the “bleeding edge” until I am sure the product is stable and I have a really good reason to switch from a product that works really really well for me as is.

My humble opine.

Well, it’s a simple fix. Adobe and Avid must stop developing for the PC and work with Macs only. Simple, right?

[David Mathis] “Resolve looks somewhat interesting but still not a viable editor as of yet.”

I have the 12.5 public beta version and it’s a lot better, in terms of responsiveness, than 10 and 11. All that said, I am getting mysterious permissions errors that are preventing me from trying out their version of dynamic linking to Fusion. And the Cow Resolve forum is not that active with answers.

Well, I can say that the beta version of 12.5 is a far sight better in terms of basic editing performance. Having volume permissions problems all over the place that I did not have on R11, but I am liking what I see so far. Not as good as X but starting to remind me of DS a bit.
