  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Davinci Resolve 9.0

That's an unfriendly, jerk's response. How is being unpleasant with people helping you out in your career so far? I phoned a friend who is a colorist and he informed me that you can add an alpha input to a grade, connect the matte triangle to it, and get alpha-based layering in the timeline. It has nothing to do with transfer modes like "overlay", which si why I couldn't figure it out, and is new since 8.1. That took me about 2 minutes to write. I like to be helpful.

Not intended to be unfriendly, or jerkish. I learned a lot reading the 8.2 manual. I highly recommend it for other novices like myself reading along the thread. Someone may find the link useful!

That said, I'm glad you found the answer to your specific question. Resolve has many ways to skin a cat, but I discovered a similar method of setting up a node tree that mixes 2 inputs using qualifiers and a layer mixer (p.215). Maybe not exact to what you were looking for, so apologies for my brevity.

I don't have colorist friends so I have to spend the time reading up on these things and pressing buttons until something breaks, but not everyone has the time to do that. No hard feelings, I hope.

As to your comment about layering 2 r3d settings, if you're using R3D, you can't mix r3d settings if you're referencing the same clip in the master settings. What might work is if you copy / rename a clip so that you 'fool' resolve into thinking it's got two different clips.

John. We were discussing version 9 and in that version there is no need for this trick. Resolve v9 allows to have multiple metadata settings for the same clip, unlike in version 8.

Hey, Jake. Can you change R3D settings cut-to-cut with v9, or is it clip-dependent?
 
Now that we are moving so rapidly to have as a final product DCPs, it would be beneficial if one of the exporting options would be JPEG 2K sequences, wrapped as MXF, compliant with the DCI latest requirements...
 
That would be amazing. But there are still a handful of things that need to happen there. You still need to properly convert to XYZ color space etc. Proper DCP creation is not a simple thing, can it be done without bigger iron hardware like clipster and Dolby boxes? Yes, but it's not a simple process. Needless to say, if the black magic team can build proper DCP and DCDM mastering into Resolve, then they win and more so, we all win.

I have generated enough DCPs, and the color space part is very simple to deal with: just use a LUT and it will do the trick.

A producer of mine just asked me for a quick option to deliver a DCP to a festival, and I referred him to Simple DCP here in LA:

http://simpledcp.com

I have no connection with them and only gave them a conditional referral, but the website looks pretty together. I've also personally used Fotokem in Burbank to do quick-turnaround DCPs, both from DPX files and from Rec709 videotapes, and their work was fine (and fast).

No, that's cool. Understood.
