Thanks very much for your reply. Very helpful. Yes, it’s an odd aspect ratio. I shot on super 16mm, which is not a true 16:9, so the 2K scans are an odd size. I’m going to have letter bars online unless I’m willing to sacrifice part of the frame and uprez. Which I’m not, so online it will have bars on the sides. But mainly the film will be projected, in which case it works out fine.
My biggest problems now (i see from many threads I’m not alone), is the maddening Chrome/Safari/Quicktime color metadata problems on new Macs and after Resolve 16.1. Everything look washed out. I was hoping that maybe it was a 4444 issue in Resolve and that I’d set something wrong. But I guess not (my project settings were Rec 709, video, Davinci YRGB. The whole thing has been graded and sent back to Premiere for final credits etc and when I exported the master and the clips for Vimeo, I discovered the wash-out issue. Have read a million posts. Tried the LUT for QT. It helps for QT but looks terrible on Vimeo (crushed blacks, pixelated). Since most people use Chrome and Safari and not Firefox (where it looks ok because Firefox doesn’t add metadata) and use Quicktime and not VLC (which also doesn’t add metadata, so looks ok) I can only come to the conclusion that I have to make a separate version with a darker grade for these platforms. Is that what everyone is doing? It’s so crazy to have to do all this extra work to use the most commonly used platforms. Argh.

PS maybe these are better questions:
Can someone advise on Project Settings for ProRes 4444 in Resolve?
questions:
1) My project is 2048 x 1240, 24fps, 2K. For Video Monitoring, there is no preset for this. Select HD 1080 24? Or UHD? Or 2K 1080? Wonder why there’s no 2048…
2) Select “use 4:4:4 SDI” ?
3) Should the data levels for 4444 be set to video or full in the project settings?
4) Color Science is set to DaVinci YRGB. correct? Rec. 709 Gamma 2.4 (my monitor and Premiere set to same)
5) Broadcast Safe: which setting?? -2-120? or 0-100?

Thank you I have not. Will try that next.

Since there are so many different things that can cause “General Error”, what I do (and I do this anyway) is to often do a Save As and make a new project. I just got a “General Error” message after sending a segment to Compressor (I’ve also hear this can cause it and better to export a QT, then bring it into Compressor, duh I should have done that). While my new sequence in the new project had the corrupt file (copied over after the export), i was able to go back into the previous project and get the same clip. It works fine in the project that had the error message now. Luckily, i was able to see exactly which clip was the problem because the timeline would play and then stop at that clip giving me the error message.
I know it’s hard to know when to stop and make a new project, so do it often. I have had the error message happen just after making crucial edits and that sucks.
hope this helps a little. save often, back up often, make copies often. especially with large projects that have many clips etc.. -
thank you

how do you mount the two receivers to the camera?
i am in same situation… would like to use two lavaliers for dialogue. if i need two receivers, not sure how to mount.
shooting on the AF 100, so two XLR’s no prob, but only one spot for mounting one receiver. any thoughts? or is this so unorthodox it’s not done? ?
thanks! -
HI. I know this post is old. I appreciate it. One question: Anyone have any issues with leaving filed dominance “automatic” for 1080 24p footage? or should i select “progressive” (using toast 11).
thanks! -
I know this is an older thread, don’t know if anyone’s had this problem since or if anyone found a fix: all of a sudden today (in FCP 7.3) I get “operation not allowed” when trying to use the insert edit button. have no idea why. tried quitting and re-opening. i can drag the clip onto the timeline from the viewer but can not perform the simple F9 insert edit.
anyone? thanks

Hi Walter
thanks so much for your response. I checked with Panasonic this morning and they said the projector can output 24p. They also said that the projector only does 720.i spoke with Brightsign and they confirmed no go on 24p.
so it looks like i might have to make a blu-ray disk (the museum has a blu-ray player but no Mac Mini) and even still it won’t project in full HD because the projector only does 720.
arrgh. If they get a 1080 projector, would my solution still be blu-ray versus Mac Mini?Still trying to figure out if it’s worth getting a mac mini or other hd media player… Any thoughts on the consumer level Western Digital HD Media Players?
thanks!
