Linking External Mattes

[Silvana Grob]

Hello

I have a problem with the external Matte in Da Vinci.

I have made a Matte with Silhouette v4 and renderd it out as a DPX Sequence.
I then moved to Da Vinci and add the Matte and the Footage in to the Media Pool.
In the Da Vinci Manual is not much information, only it is written that i have to link the matte to the associated media.
Can anybody tell me how i have to do this?

It is the first time i try this workflow and also the first time i'm using Silhouette, so maybe i'm making something wrong even before i go to Da Vinci.

Thanks for any help
Silvana

Don't actually import the matte into the media pool. Instead, just select the footage (in the media pool) that you want the matte to be applied to, then browse to and right-click the matte, and choose "Add as matte" (may not be exact wording; I don't have Resolve here). When you're grading, add a matte node for that shot.
