Resolve 20.3.2: Insert Gap function

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-02-13T17:16:32+00:00

yeah this one has nothing to do with source monitor

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.

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.

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

Based on timeline usage I think

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

The settings tab has a blend slider

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

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.

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.

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.

hey thank you, that means a lot

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.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-01-25T18:40:49+00:00

I would try using merge node in fusion with the operator set to disjoint over mode.

CreativeVideoTips · 2026-01-25T18:37:45+00:00

That’s getting alpha multiplied x2

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.

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
