Where can I find "Render cache clip source" in Davinci Resolve? It used to be available when I right clicked on a clip but now it's not there anymore.

It's frustrating that the developers can't sit down with each other and find a solution for issues like this. Luckily speed ramps aren't that difficult to match.

Thank you for the detailed overview Bruno, I will start to dig into every aspect of Fusion now that it is so accessible. It's unstable on my system as well, it might be more solid on a Mac though...
-
Now that Fusion is integrated into Davinci Resolve it would be great to see some basic tutorials to get started?

When I add more clips to the media pool, the conformed sequence doesn't update. Then I select the media offline clip on my timeline and use the conform lock feature. The clip attach itself as it should but as a still frame only. What am I doing wrong?

Todays colorists are moving more agains being finishing artists and it's demanded that they can do basic compositing tasks in their tool. Baselight and Mistika are there already.

When I get AAF's from Avid, I sometimes have issues with that timewarps / speed ramps isn't transferred correctly. Have you experienced the same?

Lighten blending mode issue, DaVinci Resolve
Tom Evans replied to Tom Evans's topic in Editing , Color grading & Finishing
That explains everything, thanks @Jussi Rovanperä. Any blending mode I can use to replace black in this instance? -

Lighten blending mode issue, DaVinci Resolve
Tom Evans replied to Tom Evans's topic in Editing , Color grading & Finishing
I have tried to swap the inputs around but unfortunately with no luck. In this setup the layer mixer is set to lighten and what I expect to see is that the blacks from the top node should be replaced with yellow. -

Yes. Both nodes are linked to a node with black shadows + greens. -

Lighten blending mode issue, DaVinci Resolve
Tom Evans replied to Tom Evans's topic in Editing , Color grading & Finishing
Top node: Black shadows + green image Bottom node: Pink color Both are going through a layer mixer and the mode is set to lighten. Shouldn't the black shadows in the top node be replaced with pink? -
I have a single toned image (black shadows + green) that I layer mix with a pink color that I have choosen from the color generator. When I now choose to blend these to layers together with the lighten mode, shouldn't that pink color replace the black shadows of the image? Nothing happens so I wonder if I have encountered a bug.

I got some footage that are shot on Alexa in raw anamorphic. For some reason they have the Sony MXF typing in the browser and inside Davinci Resolve they have the *.wav extention. Any idea what is wrong? The only software I have managed to open the files in are Scratch Play and yes they are not wav files but video files.

Tone mapping and Gamut mapping in Color Space Transform
Tom Evans replied to Tom Evans's topic in DaVinci Resolve
I have seen that video but would like some more in depth information. -
Can someone explain how to use gamut mapping and tone mapping correct in Davinci Resolve inside the Color Space Transform plugin? Are they necessary to do correct transforms and why aren't they set ON as default?
-
I have started to look at the Davinci Resolve color management, and it looks promising. But I have noticed that setting the input color space to Alexa Log C for my source footage or applying a Alexa log to rec709 LUT actually yields quite different results. What is the reason for that? A mathematical reason I guess, but why isn't the input color space option set up to mirror the Alexa Log to Rec709 LUT perfectly as that is what is provided by the camera manufacturer? I mean, they provided this LUT because they want footage shot on Alexa to be transformed that way right?
