January 13, 2019 at 7:54 pm in reply to: Which bit depth does DaVinci Resolve grade in?Processing is at 32 bit, unless using performance mode, when it is less (I think 16 bit) for playback only. All rendering processing for delivery is 32 bit unless I’m mistaken.

No worries. It was an interesting question.

The only way I can think of is to;
Copy the clip to v2. Go to blending mode, select difference for blending mode, apply noise reduction and tweak gain, turn B&W, export that clip as something high quality like prores4444. Delete copy of clip on v2. Use that clip as an external matte to drive a correction node on v1. You will probably have to tweak the matter to get desired results, maybe with blur etc. Good luck.

The best conversion is 5D2RGB. It does some nice chroma filtering.

October 18, 2016 at 7:54 am in reply to: workflow to import XML full of .MTS clips into resolveThe only alternative to doing what you say and cutting up a preconformed export would be to consolidate the clips in the sequence and re- wrap the files using clipwrap, relink to those clips (or possibly conform to them in resolve). This would be a lossless approach.

Color boost is the devil’s work. That’s why.
What are you trying to do? Sounds like you’re comparing tools. Just use the tools that works best for what you are trying to achieve.
If you want to throw another method into the mix, try using the HSL keyer with only an ‘S’ (saturation) selection and manipulating that. I advise a soft selection.

Matchlight and Lightspace should do it.

-Save project
-Export your timeline as an XML
-Import trimmed media to a bin
-If you have been using remote grades but have created some new versions on some clips, make sure you select local grading in the Color page (right click on timeline) before continuing.
-Conform (import) exported XML
-Save project
-Right click on new timeline and open Colortrace
-Point Colortrace to old graded timeline
-Perform colour trace are necessary (see manual for help)That should result in a timeline like your previous graded timeline linked to the master clips, but using the new trimmed media.
IF that doesn’t work, look at your conform options in the settings (reel extraction etc.).

This can only be done with 2D text with Resolve as far as I know;
-Create the text in davinci (and if so turn the text into a compound clip) or import the text as an image file with alpha.
-On the ‘background’ shot, create a new version with no grades
-Use manual tracking features to track the object using the stabilise tool (and select what you are tracking in terms of pan/tilt/rotate etc)
-In the gallery page right click and select ‘use timeline keyframes’
-grab still of tracked shot
-apply still to text/image layer to be composited
-in stabilisation window, select -100 ‘strong’
-re-apply original grade of background shot.That should invert the stabilisation and perform the equivalent of a match move. Worth pointing out that if there is much 3d movement, the text will still only be 2D. Until Resolve supports 3d files (unlikely), I don’t think you can do what you can in something like After Effects (which is the video reference you pointed to!).

Get a 4k/UHD GUI, It’s amazing! I’ve got the LG ‘digital cinema’ monitor, the 31MU97. It’s lovely. Haven’t looked back!
