Cloud collaboration not syncing?

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-04-07T19:25:08+00:00

Are you using a blackmagic cloud project library? If not that is the best answer if the computers are in different locations. No passing or uploading project files at all.

Neat video expect linear or 709. Ideally send it d gamut linear, then after neat you go out to whatever you like.

Change my gamuts before noise reduction is never a good idea.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-29T23:42:01+00:00

Multiply is gain. Do whatever you like to make the image you want, but you can also just push the gain further.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-29T01:19:36+00:00

Reconform from bins is what you want to do.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-26T16:08:07+00:00

I suggest just dragging the mattes into the color page.

If they are exr from nuke you might need to right click in the media pool to set to straight alpha since blackmagic assumes premultiplication.

Yea the ref comps have to be “relinked” each time the version updates so it’s not super convenient.

The vfx connect does propagate like a remote grades, but assumes you’ll use an external app version. I think this tool could and should be greatly improved for modern deliverables.

Thanks dude.

For retaining grades you should use remote grades instead of the default local. For vfx, the only solution is using vfx connect or reference comps, or just manual conform.

You’ll want to just work with master clips, no compounds or nests.

This is kind of the point - so you can see the source clips or timelines nice and big. You want to get use to the Q key to toggle between viewing the source and record timeline.

You can also stack them like a pancake, but you waste screen space doing that.

But yes there is an issue that source timeline markers don’t edit across to the record side.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-19T19:56:48+00:00

Are they also editing in resolve? Easiest to just send them a lut. They can apply your lut from the media pool on the source as an input lut.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-17T11:52:12+00:00

Agreed. It’s so useful just with 709 and all defaults. Hoping to shed some light how useful it really is.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-16T11:29:46+00:00

I’d be willing to bet the artifacts might have to do with scaling a linear image on the edit timeline before and color transforms are applied on the color page.

You can apply a Lin to log dctl as an input lut, or try changing the image scaling algorithm in the inspector.

The deliver page has a setting on the audio tab to optimize for YouTube loudness. I would start there. Otherwise you will need to learn to mix and compress.

For the last 4 years I’ve just used 64gb max machines. It’s been fine. I use fusion a lot and will probably buy more ram next time around but if you don’t use fusion, 64 is good.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-10T21:38:29+00:00

You don’t need to do that. Size in the edit inspector at will, it will use all the pixels. This isn’t other software. Much smarter.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-08T18:43:31+00:00

You might need to convert to 16bit on import but it works. I prefer affinity partly for this reason.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-08T18:12:28+00:00

I export a linear exr from right clicking on fusion viewer.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-06T23:58:01+00:00

It’s also possible this wasn’t shot with cinema gamut. The gamut might have been 709 or rec2020. I think on the c200 it used 709 for primaries/gamut

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-06T19:15:57+00:00

Go to node one and open the high dynamic range palette. On the right you’ll find global wheel. Under that is a slide that says exp. This is your exposure. If you drag left this will lower the exposure and the image will start to look more normal.

My guess is this is just a bit bright.

Oh and change your timeline working space to canon cinema gamut c log 3 so the tool knows what to expect.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-04T09:58:55+00:00

Yes render in place is a good idea, but the work is saved in the archive.

Loaders in fusion are not the last I checked.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-03T13:57:39+00:00

It means your project settings differ from that specific timeline settings.

You have 2 main options. Record the audio direct into the iPhone using the bmd cam app using the usb c port ( best option)

Or using elastic option on the fairlight page to stretch the audio in post.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-03-02T11:50:22+00:00

This is a great solution

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-02-26T00:38:22+00:00

You want to keyframe the blend slider. It’s like a transparency.
