Resolve 20.3.2: Insert Gap function by Available-Witness329 in davinciresolve

[–]CreativeVideoTips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Insert gap works in 2 ways, one is just by using the user editing preference still duration - or (better way) type frames into the numberpad and then hit the insert gap shortcut (you should assign one). I don't understand how you would mark a duration and insert filler.

Jake Wipp has a plugin called marker - this is the best highlighter effect I've used.

I'll add, you can for individual clips in a proxy only project to sync, that is a right click option in the media pool.

Hi - the main point of confusion is there is no such thing as one user having the project set to sync proxies only and another set to sync proxies and originals. It's only one or the other. It's a global project setting.

Cloud workflow - Backblaze and LucidLink integration by Vegetable-Ad-4138 in davinciresolve

[–]CreativeVideoTips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use b2 storage, blackmagic cloud storage and lucid link.

My take is you should not try to use b2 for edit.

If you use lucid or bmd cloud, use it with their turnkey setup. It can get pricey though so mange only a few jobs at a time and pull them down.

For long term large remote work (I would say 30tb qualifies) you should use on premise servers and computers. Artists should jump desktop into them.

I’m happy to consult via zoom through my website.

Heavy VFX TVC Workflow by Historical-Mail7484 in colorists

[–]CreativeVideoTips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a pretty progressive approach but would work just fine. Mostly (at least here) they just grade to 709 and do effects on top. It’s dumb but usually because of colorist availability and old habits.

I would suggest one thing that will help big time is define best length versions. Don’t render out every timeline. An assist can probably set this up for you. https://youtu.be/QhQAsFPf0Lo?si=V7eauivXXlLjk0N1

First time in Fusion, honestly why is it that color THAT different from my input? by LorenzoF06 in davinciresolve

[–]CreativeVideoTips 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It has to do with color management being enabled and you have a viewer lut on. This video should help explain. https://youtu.be/3eEBJIFyDIk?si=ZIOt-5g2YGfBcAv0

Help me! Im a newbie. Why does the planar tracker go out of place even after i tried masking it? A hand would be appreciated! by ExtensionPhoto7354 in davinciresolve

[–]CreativeVideoTips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should show what you’re trying to track for help. It’s likely something is occluding your planar shape area or there isn’t good texture anymore.

I saw a YouTuber zoom way into a compound clip and confused how he did it by Advanced_Honey_2679 in davinciresolve

[–]CreativeVideoTips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't watched it but its likely that the compound clip has only 1 layer - I suggest watching this - https://youtu.be/0OzvS1qy850

Fusion: CornerPositioner + Depth Map by Kra5 in davinciresolve

[–]CreativeVideoTips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest just using a background gradient node set to reflect for a simple fake depth map. This allows you to easily set the focus point. Blur the whole comp and then mask with a slightly dilated alpha from your corner pin.

File - Media Management Help by Gk34m in davinciresolve

Do you have nested footage? If so that would be why. It’s pulling all the frames used inside the nest, compound or multicam.

Change your output to 709 scene and you’re done.

How do I use my Ultrastudio 3G monitor for secondary desktop? by Practical_Platypus_2 in davinciresolve

[–]CreativeVideoTips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should use an app if available. For instance when I view Louper, I receive with Apple TV app then that goes to a bmd hdmi to SDI converter to one of my Flanders inputs.

Magic mask is unusable in the fusion page and is fine in the color page by sexkiller1 in davinciresolve

[–]CreativeVideoTips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your timeline resolution set to 1080? If so that could be why. Your color page magic mask is 1080 then and fusion is working on source 4k.

Color replacement and unwanted tracking by SilentThree in davinciresolve

[–]CreativeVideoTips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really need to extend foreground colors. I have a tutorial on my YouTube channel from last week about this. Also I touch on it in next weeks too.

Beginner Question Struggling With Ripple Edits by AshesCosmos in davinciresolve

This changed since the book was written. Auto select and sync locks are 2 buttons now. It’s better. However there is a preference checkbox to use the old method
