I’ve never had any of Resolve AAF options work, ever.

Interesting.

I just finished a 90 minute documentary set for release in FCPX. It went without a hiccup. Very pleasantly surprised. X2Pro Convert was used to AAF the audio for the sound mix. Color grading was actually done in FCPX 10.4.5.

This is absolutely not true on Canon 5d MKIII there is no auto focus in video mode so the focus does not change until you change it. What camera are you using? does it have auto focus in video mode and do you have it turned on?

I’ve been doing this for years with my Canon EF lenses and it does not go to infinity automatically.

I’m signing off now. I’ve explained it to you. Try it or don’t but it works.

Because you never used a follow focus. You use the hard stops to set the limit of the entire focus range: Closest and furthest the lens will focus so it won’t keep turning. (Canon EF lenses can turn forever)

Then the there is a white ring you can mark with a dry erase marker to mark your focus points. It is how we do it in Hollywood on big million dollar productions. They don’t use the hard stops to mark the actors.

On a real cine lens, the lens can’t turn past either extreme (close, far) Canon EF lenses have an infinite turning focus ring so you need to put a hard stop at both extreme points so it won’t turn beyond either point.

The problem is you have no hard stops (Physical stops so the lens can’t turn). If you accidentally bump the focus ring or turn it, you are off.

They don’t change. You are doing something wrong. I do this all the time with hard stops. It never changes.

It is dead on accurate every single time. If you were in Los Angeles I could demo it for you.

Yes. That’s why I bought a Follow Focus unit that has settable hard stops. You can set the stops anywhere you want. I always set to max and min focus– Zero and infinity. The focus ring stops at those two points. It doesn’t keep turning.

Give ML a try. You won’t be disappointed. I taught a class on how to use it. You have to grade your shots in resolve and export to ProRes or whatever format you want to edit. But well worth it.

I mention resolve, because it converts the CinemaDNG fast to ProRes than any other program I’ve tested. I used to do it in RAWMagic, but it is much slower than Resolve.
