At some point you will probably be asked to convert your video from one standard to another. The most common conversion I do is from a 23.98 master to a 29.97 interlaced broadcast file. How do we accomplish this common task. At what the heck is drop frame timecode, and why do i need it? Contact Glenn at popost.tv@gmail.com Please leave comments or suggestions below.

Speed editor review
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.4 года назад
Is the Resolve Speed Editor worth the price? Not to be confused with a typical RUclips product review, I take a consumer look at the Speed Editor. I typically do not edit in Resolve, so the cut page is quite foreign to me, so together we can figure out how this product works.

3d Print a USB Holder with Support Blockers
Very helpful, thank you so much!
That's pretty cool. I've been using a setup of a Mac Mini remoting into a Parsec Windows box on one monitor and PCoiP on a Linux box, with an iPad as a cheap HDR viewer. The Wacom tablet comes through on both but for a lot of peripherals, I could see this being very useful. What do you prefer to use for the actual Monitor remote linking? It's been awesome to be able to work at home as I have young kids and it would be impossible to do this otherwise. Yay future tech! Boo corporate soft-layoffs mandatory office bs.
Hi, thanks very much for your program it's so helpful ! I have a small question: I would like my subfolder to take the name of the file name proposed by the script, but when I enter %FileName in the subfolder it still creates a folder for me with the name of the source file and not the filename of the marker. Do you have a solution? Thanks again! :)
Thanks for the comment. As i said in the video, i am not a scripting guru, so i'm honestly not sure, and would have to do some playing and research.
Nice set up .... I need your icon list
Ya, a lot of time has gone into building icons.
Hi Glenn, thank you for such a brilliant idea! Allow me to share my modification to the script. I added a 'Predefined path' so that each shot goes to its own folder according to marker name. Additionally I removed a sequential marker number in File name field (just works better for my naming convention). Currently I am figuring out how to define path in a more convenient way. File Subfolder would have been a good idea, but it's not supported in API. project_manager = resolve.GetProjectManager() project = project_manager.GetCurrentProject() timeline = project.GetCurrentTimeline() markers = timeline.GetMarkers() startFrame = timeline.GetStartFrame() mf = [] for frame, marker in markers.items(): if marker['color'] == "Blue": mf.append((frame, marker['name'])) mf.append((timeline.GetEndFrame(), "end")) # add end predefined_path = "/Volumes/project/VFX/_TEST/" for i in range(len(mf) - 1): project.SetRenderSettings({ "SelectAllFrames": False, "MarkIn": startFrame + mf[i][0], "MarkOut": startFrame + mf[i][0], "CustomName": mf[i][1], "TargetDir": predefined_path + mf[i][1], # Set the File subfolder to the predefined path + marker's name }) print(i) #print(predefined_path) project.AddRenderJob()
Excellent! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for the video! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work with v19 beta, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. The Avid markers to Resolve timeline addition is really nice as well!
Sorry, i avoid Beta from resolve like the plague, so i wouldn't know what it does in that version.
Remember the dream we all had when HD was going to standardize the frame rate and get us all away from this legacy nonsense? Me too. heh
When HD first came out we had to purchase a DVC Pro deck because that is what ESPN wanted, and and HDCam deck, because that is what everyone else wanted...so "standardize" has never been on my radar.:)
Hi Glenn, thanks for posting the code! What version of Python are you running? I'm having trouble getting it run properly, but I have never really worked with Python before and I'm also trying to get it to work with the v19 Beta (probably a dumb thing to do, I know!)
It looks like i'm running python 3.10 I believe there may be issues with newer versions of python and Resolve. (not a python person by any stretch of the imagination.)
Hi there, awesome info, but is there a download link for the script? Or am I just missing it?
Hi Terry. Sorry, i was so busy trying to give credit to how i built the script, i forgot to include my final one. I'll post that in the comments shortly. Glenn
@@tvtech4688 Ok thats funny, just glad I'm not going crazy.
Excellent walk though. This is always such a pain to do for pulling plates. Automated happiness.
Thanks. posting the actual script I used right now in the description section as well.
This is very usefull! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks Terry. Posting the script in the info section as well. Glenn
Nice!! thanks for this gratefull tutorials
Glad you enjoyed it.
can you make a workflow video, only from avid to davici, with braw footage in avid?
apart from showing how much avid crashes using braw footage, the workflow would be the same. This workflow doesn't rely on any particular codec to relink to. As long as the metadata is maintained during any transcode building process, it should work.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. Sometimes one gets lost using new AI functions when perhaps simple tracking is enough.
Exactly. There is a time and place for 3d camera tracking...but it isn't always necessary. Thanks for the comment.
Unfortunately no more new tracking tutorials. Hope very much that everything is okay with you. Probably too much work in the TV business? - Again a very strong tutorial, thanks a lot! TV Tech: a really great channel.
Actually, you are exactly correct. I have a 4 point tracking video sitting on my box for months, but i just am having trouble finding time to shoot the on camera aspects. It has been an incredibly busy year...which is good for me, bad for my channel.
Oh my gosh mate - thank you! SO few tutorials on this and even a few editors/assistants don't know. It was extremely clear and concise. Cheers!
Glad it helped!
I have been a filmmaker for 30 years and I am still learning things. Having just shot a self-funded feature documentary I wanted to use BRAW but was put off by the complexity of roundtripping so ended up shooting on a BMPCC4K ProRes HQ film log. Still looks wonderful and the edit process is simple in Avid but these two instructional videos are very informative so I will be shooting the next project on BRAW (after some testing to make sure I have it right!). Thank you, these are the best roundtripping videos I have seen. There are a few out there but sometimes they miss the nitty gritty important details.
I find cutting in Braw still causes some crashes in Avid, so, yes, i would suggest you can shoot braw, but cut in something a bit easier on the box. Do you plan on coloring in Resolve?
Thanks a lot, You saved my life👍👍👍
Glad to hear that
Nice video thanks! I'm trying to figure out the sound I'm hearing in the background, its either a work out Tektronix Scope fan or an LTO drive , it sounds very familiar :)
Probably is one of my LTO's...but I do have a Tektronix scope as well.
That "Assist using reel names from source file names" is the sweet sauce. I've forgotten to check that little box on numerous projects - then rip my hair out when manually over-cutting my HiRes footage. I've gotten lucky with unlinking and reconforming media, but sometimes, no dice. FYI - To any bonehead (like me) reading this: If you fail to select the parameter that the good folks at TV Tech suggest (TC 5:53), you're not crap outta luck, BUT, you'll have to over-cut AMA's in Avid, shot by shot on an upper video layer, then spit out a new AAF and link to the camera files in Resolve. Anyhoo - bless you, sir, for this clear and concise tutorial. More, more, more!
Tons of relink options in Avid. It just takes a bit to learn and understand them.
This is so dank OMG thank you
Glad it helps
So you mean 2 Roundtrips? :D You exported the clips from Davinci for AMC as proxies, and now the actual roundtrip starts (in which most of us are probably interested).
Well the term "round trip" would indicate it does a full circle. From Resolve to Avid, and then from Avid to Resolve. That would be a round trip. (Flying from LA to NewYork is not a round trip, untill you return to LA.😎
2 things 1 how does the speed editor work in other Pages beside the cut page Namely the Edit & Fairlight page. and 2 any chance of comparing it to the Contour ShuttlePRO V.2 - shuttle wheel - USB
The Speed editor does work with other pages, but it can be limited. I wouldn't recommend buying it, thinking that it will do anything amazing in other pages. It is certainly only designed at this point for the cut page, so buyer beware. As for the Shuttle Pro2, i do not have one of those. My honest preferred method is the color wheels and a few stream decks. This actually does everything I need. The speed editor spends most of it's time on the desk behind me... some day i'll give it another try, but I still am just not a huge fan of editing in Resolve.
For cameras or recorders with clock based timecode (horribly inaccurate), just use a dog clicker. Easier and more fun than clapping. Keep your camera/recorder timecode on. The import all clips by inaccurate timecode. Add to timeline by timecode. Select all clips from one camera and line up the spike. 100 shots will all sync instantly. Repeat for each camera. $4.99 for clicker
Hey Nick, thanks for the comment. You've lost me a bit on the "Select all clips from one camera, and line up the spike. 100 shots will all sync instantly". How is lining up 100 shots to the spike, having them line up instantly? Plus if there is no usable camera audio, you are going to have a hard time knowing when the actual click happens. Its one thing to hear it on the audio track, but if i cant see on the video track where it occurs, then i'm just gessing anyway. At least with the hand clap, you can see (within reason) where the clap occurs. Either way, I always ask for a more professional setup at the beginning. I have better things to do with my time than line up 100s of shots. Great thought though.
I need a Tentacle device for each camera even if I use cameras with internal TC (like Sony FX9 or FX6)?
The tentacle allows the SAME timecode to be used on multiple cameras at once. The fact that your cameras have internal tc is great, but unless you can sync those timecodes to each other, which usually requires an external tc source running timecode INTO the cameras, then the internal timecode doesn't do you much good in a multicam shoot. Sorry about the all caps, but I can't seem to bold or italicize words to emphasize them....i'm not shouting at you. :)
My first comment ever on RUclips! This was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much
Glad you liked it!
What if you need to sync audio first and then need multicam groups in media composer? possible?
Hi Trel Studios, thanks for the comment. Can you elaborate on your workflow? What would the need be to sync audio first? I'd have to play with it, but I think you might end up with an issue with trying to match frame back to the audio and or original video file...but I usually just sync audio as a secondary process. Let me know your reasoning for doing audio first, and maybe I can give it a shot to see what happens. Always looking for more workflow ideas.
I would prefer cable connection instead of Bluetooth
Once it is all working, the bluetooth is pretty handy. Just spent a spotting session on the couch, addng markers at scene changes.
Thanks, very clear!
Great to hear!
This is great. Is there any way for you to share these icons and settings so anyone can use it themselves without spending the hours you must have? thanks.
Thanks Paul. I'm sure I could be persuaded to upload some items once i get some time. I usually protest against uploading settings, as they are so dependent on my keyboard layout, which is totally different from everyone else' so i really don't see the benefit in that. The icons...ya maybe.
@@tvtech4688 Thanks. Really appreciate it. Creating the icons and programming the actions (shortcuts) is really time consuming. I bet you could charge for this.
@@paulgreenberg7112 Unfortunately, like i said, settings are all based on your own personal keyboard settings. Really, within 5 mins of playing around, you would get most of the programming down pretty easily. Don't know that it is worth an hourly rate...but if you want to send me some money......:)
You can use Cam buttons to select track
Thanks Idar.
To overwrite a clip you have to use the key Riple OWR. Also, I'm using a MacBook and I'm nowhere near all the problem you seem to have on Windows. And I love the Speed Editor :))
Yes, but i don't always want a ripple, just an overwrite. I like it, honestly, less enthralled with editing on Resolve than the device itself. If it worked with other software, i'm sure I would love it. One of these days, i'll commit to cutting something totally in Resolve.
What is the best software to export the synced files to a xml file for premiere pro?
Thanks for watching. As I said in the video, i think the easiest workflow is to assign the timecode to the original files, and then just use them like they were originally shot with proper timecode. I don't see a benefit from creating an xml to bring the files into any program.
Great video, very helpful. Thanks
Thanks for the comment Phil
I bought two one for my laptop and one for my workstation. I ordered them because of the free copy of resolve, and I think Blackmagic will offer edit page support in a future update.
Thanks for the comment Wakko. There is some edit page functions that do currently work. I've learnt over the years never to assume anything for future updates from Blackmagic. They are just as likely to come out with a different product. I'm trying to learn how to edit in Resolve still...getting there, but Avid is still my go to for complex shows, but i do like the trimming on this device, although every now and then i have to manually select the clip, as it keeps trimming the wrong piece, especially in a multilayered setup
To put a clip in the place of another you do a RIPL O/WR, don't you?!? You say it shifts everything down the timeline - but I think that's the function of a ripple delete. Ripple overwrite should replace one clip by the other - and, yes, it does shift the righthand side clips up or down so that the new clip fits exactly in between. If you don't want that "avoid any gaps in the timeline" behavior, then don't put your clips into track V1 : note that in the cut-page V1 and only V1 has this function to compile the timeline without any gaps. Another way to overwrite without any shifting to fit the new clip is to just do a place on top. But maybe I just did not get the problem ... however, nice video!
Thanks nmbr73. I'll bet you got a lot of funny looks in elementary school with that name! :) My point was that there is now way to not have everything shift down the timeline. Sometimes its nice to just do a replace or a good old fashioned overwrite, but everything has to ripple. I find the cut page gets less and less usefull with clips on multiple layers, but yes I guess you could treat the V2 track as an overwrite layer, and then clean it up later by dropping it down. Different way of working than what i'm used to with Avid. Still playing... Thanks for the comment.
Thank you very much for this hopefull video 📹 🙏
Thanks for watching Nick.
Good video keep up the good work, I work in Resolve a lot and have never really heard of Streamdeck. It looks interesting an now I want one.
The streamdeck is a must have. I'm running 5 of them right now. Another alternative is the logitech G13. Cheaper, less visual appeal, but similar functions.
Let's say we're working in a project that has several days of dailies, like a feature or a doc. Is there a way to import an AAF to a fresh resolve project and have it find the original source media? It'd be nice to not have such a bloated project as sometimes you can have 30 days of footage to search across for a feature. Also in some cases the dailies house isn't the same house that does the color grade. So the color house might not even have the dailies DRP. Last question: In part 1 you used reel names based on file name. In cases of Alexa/RED cameras etc. could you use embedding in source clip file instead? Either way, this is a GREAT resource and I appreciate the tutorial as it solved my issue.
Hi Christian, thanks for the comments. Just making sure i'm understanding your first question. If you were to make a separate Resolve project for every day of Dailies...is that what you are asking? The ability for Resolve to find the source material isn't really dependant on where the dailies were originally created. I do find it much easier to create all your dailes in 1 Resolve project, separated out by bins and timelines per shoot date and camera name. (Cam1, Cam2 etc) Putting all your footage in 1 resolve project might seem bloated, but I would argue that on a 30 day shoot, 30 different resolve projects is far more bloated and confusing. Trying to find a shot based on what day it was shot on, and then finding that project seems a bit counter intuitive to me. Keeping all the footage together in 1 dailes bin will make any trip back far easier. Yes, you can certainly do a media conform from an AAF without having any media in the project to begin with, but i usually find it far easier to just store the media in a project, and have it ready to go when needed. In the case of the colour house not having the dailies drp, then I (as the colour house) would be just as likely to bring in all the media first, than do the aaf conform to that media. I have done it the other way as well, where I tell resolve to search for the media, but i always seem to be missing a shot or two along the way. Again, having all the media in a project doesn't seem bloated to me...i don't find resolve slows down because of the amount of media in a project. If that media was spread out over 30 hard drives...when that is a different issue. As for file naming, i actually used to use a custom naming convention for R3ds...honestly havent used Red for a while...i'd have to check some old notes. As with any workflow best answer is do a full roundtrip test, and see if the proper information shows up in Avid, and then comes back. Part of the problem sometimes is the amount of digits allowed through some of the other naming conventions, or the possibility of split clips can also cause an issue. I find file name pretty rock solid, but not saying the other method wouldn't work.
@@tvtech4688 that all makes sense to me. using a copy of the dailies project for online/upres and color would probably make the organization and process pretty easy.
Nice vid, Scanning crevices and holes is always tricky, remember both cameras need to be able to see the inside surface at the same time, just like your own eyes, you can keep on repositioning the object until you scan all the crevices.
Certainly takes some playing around to get the experience needed for great results. I'm getting better and better at using it. Would love to try a hand held one, but pretty pricey.
Thanks. I would love to tackle some scanning with the hand held scanner as well, but its a bit pricey for my needs right now.
Using the scanner on a tripod, you will see a cross projected on your object, the sharpness of the cross is the best distance for scanning, I use a small white card to determine the distance.
Great tip, thanks
Great tip! Will try that on my next scan.
thanks bro u taught me a lot ...i have little bit doubt how to bring slow motion shot from resolve to avid
If you started in Avid with a speed change, it will get reapplied when you go back to Avid. If you are trying to change the speed in Resolve, but the edit started in Avid, that breaks the roundtrip workflow a bit, like I said in the videos. If you want to start in Resolve and go to Avid, the speed change should be included in the AAF, but I honestly don't usually start in Resolve, and then go to Avid. I almost always start in Avid.
Glad it is helping. Slo mo should be retained if round tripping, and it was started in Avid. If you changed the speed in Resolve, you would be best to export that as a new shot, and manually cut it back into Avid. That falls into the "changing the timeline" category.
Great job explaining this! You have a great style, keep it up.
Thanks Terry.
Thanks Terry, appreciate the comment.
Kudos to camera guy and editor!
Thanks Louise. Was nice to have something other than Ruby to follow with the new camera gear.:)
