I wanted to do keyframes on tracks in DaVinci for a short film, and couldn’t figure it out, but this allowed me to do basically what I wanted with automation. Keyframes would have been easier and better, but this certainly works.
It is an interesting device, and it does work well for the Cut page, but the multicam buttons are fucking useless, as no one would be using that many angles and be using this, but the wheel is pretty amazing.
Really it needs to be able to customized, or maybe just make a smaller version without all the useless buttons.
Honestly this post is a question to anyone why might know, as I have been running into something very frustrating with DaVinci Resolve, and that is, why when I duplicate a timeline do I lose the render completely and have to let it sit and re-render footage that is still rendered and has not changed from the previous Timeline (DaVinci’s name for a Sequence).
This is especially frustrating while working on my short film, which has full color corrects and a good deal of noise reduction, so a render can take hours and hours.
I looked for this on the DaVinci forums and don’t see anyone mentioning it, nor any posts on YouTube.
For now it will only have 2 tabs, the color tab shown above, and the cut tab.
Here;s hoping that the cut page will work with the DaVinci Speed Editor, which is Bluetooth, so that would only make sense.
They have also said there will be a free version and a paid Studio Version from the iTunes Store.
With the M2 Chip in the new ipad pro this should work, though the limited ram might be a bit of an issue, as will storage, so hopefully it will work well with external hard drives.
This will be released in quarter 4 of 2022!
How can Blackmagic Design manage this, when Apple hasn’t manged a version of Final Cut Pro for the iPad.
And I think the problem is obvious. Color bays are too dark and they use too good screens in the dark. That is absolutely fine for films which are meant to be seen in a darkened room, but homes have light, and most people don’t watch television in the dark.
Honestly there should be a higher level of ambient light in editing bays for TV, to take account people have lights on in their house. And have a consumer display to finish to as well, to check how it looks.
I know on these signature shows they want you to turn off the lights and only pay attention to it, but that isn’t an option for everyone.
And if there are significant complaints, you are doing the grade wrong. You need to remember this is going to be viewed by people at home, not in a darkened theater!
