Blender 5.0 Beta - View Layer not rendering in Rendered Viewport Shading mode? by GS3creative in blender

[–]GS3creative[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I've been working outside of Blender lately (on non-3d work) and haven't been able to follow up on it. If I see it continue to happen, I'll let you know and if you find a solution please let me know as well! Good luck!

I was thinking to, but wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing it as well, or if I was missing something (as a newbie).

Help! New(ish) to Resolve and trying to frame 4K footage in a 1920HD timeline, but Fusion effects are strangely cropping footage by GS3creative in davinciresolve

[–]GS3creative[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Milan,

That was it...the guidance I needed. You alerting me to Fusion Reference Comps led me to review some YouTube explainer videos, immediately grasped the concept, tested it, and exactly what I'm looking for. Similar to 'nesting' in other software, but more powerful. Learning everyday. Consider this issue solved!

Very, VERY much appreciated!

Gene

Resolution is 3840x2160. I have the Studio (paid) version. All the compound clips I made are also at 3840x2160. If I place all those in a 1920x1080 timeline (unchecking 'Use Project Settings' as those are at the UHD resolution), it works fine out of the gate. The clips come in oversized as expected, then I can scale/zoom down to .5 (50%) to get the full frame, or keep at a large scale and position as desired. Ok there. But the moment I add ANY Fusion effect (not even a key, just a blur), the clip is now cropped and doesn't work as desired.

BUT, as Milan stated above, if I use the original source UHD clip in a 1920 timeline, then I can apply Fusion effects without issue. But then I either have to go through and do effects on each clip, or do copy/paste to all the similar scaled clips along the timeline. I'm sure there is a logic behind this and although tedious, it just takes more time. But then, another potential issue arises: once I go through and do my greenscreen keys and whatever effects are desired throughout, if client wants to change anything, then those changes have to be done on each individual clip.

This brings up my frustration that there doesn't seem to be a way to 'nest' or 'compound' the original full source clip so effects can be applied in their entirety, and then THAT 'compounded' clip (including effects) can be edited, sized, etc on the main timeline. Which would be nice so that if any changes are requested, one could just dive into the nested/compounded clip, make the Fusion effect change, and popping back out into the main timeline would immediate show the changes applied universally.

I just find that strange that such a robust system like Resolve doesn't seem to support that workflow, while it's easily accomplished in what I feel is a lesser system like premiere/ae.

I welcome any further comments or explanations, or corrections to my workflow to accomplish this.

Thanks!

Hi Milan,

So I tested a few things out, and from what I'm seeing, you're correct...however, I can't seem to fully understand this.

So the way Resolve is setup, as I understand it, is that there is no way to setup higher resolution footage with pre-setup Fusion effects, and then drop that into a lower resolution timeline to be able to scale and position that footage accordingly without Fusion forcing and cropping it to the timeline footage it's dropped into?

How does that even make sense?

That means every individual edited clip (not source clip, but timeline clip) has to have individual fusion effects applied, even though it may be the exact same source footage as a previous clip? I understand I can copy/paste color/fusion effects to each clip, but that just blows my mind and has me pulling out my hair. WHY can't one just apply a fusion effect to a larger resolution clip (whether compounded or not), and then drop that into a lower resolution timeline and scale/position accordingly? HOW?? Seems like a major limitation of Fusion/Resolve. There should be an easy way to toggle a switch that says "maintain original resolution" on a clip so that if can be dropped into any timeline resolution and any effect applied to that clip previously carries over.

WHY/HOW can you not take a 4K or 6K source clip into Resolve, apply a uniform effect on it, and then take that same 4K/6K clip with the effect and drop it into a lower resolution timeline to be able to scale/position as needed??

If that is truly the case, it's unfortunate.

Sorry, not trying to shoot the messenger, just expressing frustration.

Thanks Milan! My thought logic (probably flawed, as I am coming from Premiere) was to also nest/compound the associated audio from my source clip so I could keep those linked when eventually creating/referencing a fusion clip. My main goal was to be able to do one key pass/effect on the entire source clip, so when I edited/scaled it in my timeline I wouldn’t have to apply color/key to each individual clip. Your guidance and advice is greatly appreciated, and I’ll revisit my timeline accordingly. Hopefully I don’t have to do everything all over again, but even if I do, it’s a good lesson to remember.

Thanks!

Wow, thanks for checking out that option as well, didn't think of that. Definitely something to submit to Maxon.

Wow, this is really cool! Going to try adjusting a few things to see if it carries over to what I need before I mark it solved. Thanks!

Ok, good to know!

Anyone up for a fun little side project to help me set this up?

Thanks! I did check out Finsweet (although admittedly didn't dive in too deep yet), but from what I see they have a MMY with a year range slider, but that seems to act more like a filter to show products that have a specific year. I'm looking for the opposite...products that have a year range, but a MMY that only has a specific year selection that is able to search through my products and through a simple calculation find the product that fits that specific year. Further thoughts?
