Hi! Is or possible to render the timeline in DaVinci Resolve without rendering to file? Would be useful for client sessions to avoid hickups after doing changes. 

Do you mean caching? Using the smart mode of caching you should have smooth playback in most cases. You could, to be sure to have no hiccups, set “render cache color output” on all clips. As long as you have a cache disk fast enough to play the cache format you have set in preferences you should have a stable playback.

Great post indeed!

One question. Is ACEScc the most common working colour space? I’m using ACEScct and thought this was the most common. For me the blacks and lift operations feels much nicer in ACEScct

Hi Bledar

 

I would check out this video from Filmlight:

https://www.filmlight.ltd.uk/store/events/live-webinar-baselight-qanda-thursday-4-june/

and look at 55 min where Daniele Siragusano will go in depth on how to get the best result out of the denoiser in Baselight. I don't think you will get as good as a result as Neat Video but very close in my experience. 

I really like Baselight’s stabilisation. It really depends what you mean by best but I’ll try to describe what I like about it.

1. Most advanced stabilisers like warp in AE and the stabilisation in Resolve does lots of fancy stuff under the hood. It seems to corrects skew etc. in addition to x, y and rotation (and warp can even fill out the image so no zoom is needed). I guess it does some sort of 3D tracking for its stab. But in my opinion the result of these “advanced” trackers is that it’s removes the DOPs intended motion to much (talking about smoothing motions here not complete locked camera stab). It makes a new, in my opinion, digital motion. For me that can really stand out from the rest of the images.
Baselight’s stabilisation is simpler but it has a very nice function of keeping the larger frequency motion but to remove the smaller frequencies. I have had many DOP’s loving this stabilisation because keeping the larger movement will not ruin their “camera language” [emoji4].

2. Keyframing. I find it so useful to be able to keyframe in and out of the amount of both larger and smaller frequencies of motion. I have used this so many times with long moving shots where it’s only a small part of the shot that has a “bump” or other not intended motion. So to be able to not touch the part that’s is good but to keyframe in that stabilisation (and needed zoom) for only the part that needs fixing is fantastic. I have never been able to this in Resolve. I earlier had a expression in AE to dial in and out of stab. But it was not a thing I could do with clients in the room because it was too slow to implement.

Thank you Peter! Do you plan to reintroduce the old stabilizer? I find it quite useless now that I can't add and delete tracking points anymore.

You can access the old stabiliser on the dropdown menu on the top right part of the stabiliser window. Called "classic stabiliser".
