I want to be able to render out several timelines at once, can that be done? I know I can add them manually to the render pool, select them all and hit render, but I would like to "select all" and apply settings that affects all of them once and then hit render.

And while I'm at it, it looks like another clip has a "retime frame" attribute, what is "retime frame"?

Hello. I got an XML with some speed ramp data that I want to transfer from the actual clip to a duplicated clip (same clip with effects applied). Can that be done?

Maybe @Peter Chamberlain can have a look at this?

EXR also runs slow on my system and I tend to ask for DPX if VFX want to deliver image sequences. I don't know how Resolve extracts EXR data, but in Lustre you need to apply a Float LUT to access out of range information.

Thank you Bruno, but I was probably not clear enough; The AAF was exported from Premiere, and imported into Avid. It's in Avid the media appears offline.

I have a sequence (AAF) exported from Premiere and imported into Avid. The files appears all media offline, even though I have all the source media in the Avid MediaFiles folder. Why doesn't it link to my media? These are two different machines, but I thought the AAF would link to the media even though it probably was inside an other Avid MediaFiles folder on the Premiere machine.

I have the same experience with the PVM-series. I know it's not supposed to be a Grade 1 standard, but they were next to unusable and very experienced calibrators had lots of issues with them. We moved them over to our offline suites, and got them replaced with Eizo's.

I see that Lowepost got a Scopebox software discount going from next month. Do you have any experience with it?

Since it looks this forum got some very experienced Avid users I hope to get an answer why my system freezes when starting Avid after upgrading to 8.9. The error message says 'Avid, initializing ACPL effects - GPU Support Enabled'. The GTX 690 card runs the 21.21.13.7878 driver from 23.02.17 The Quadro 4000 card runs 21.21.13.6909 driver from 01.08.16 Both worked well with Avid 8.5.

Is Rec/BT 709 and sRGB the same thing?

Great, I will have a look at it. It is not so important to me that it's OLED, but I've registered that many colorists got DM 240 and DM 250 thought I would check out what's the benefit of choosing the "best one - 250" compared to the other.

Thank you Bruno, I am thinking about the DM range. It seems like that is the most popular series amongst the colorists.

What is the main differences between the two entry-level monitors from Flanders?

That must have been a very efficient process as that's not many hours considering creative processes often include inputs and involvement from many creatives. Did you feel 60 hours was 'enough' or did you face any budget limitations on Sicario?

The DeckLink 4K Extreme features two full frame DCI 4K inputs and outputs via 12G-SDI. You need something like that, but I agree with Bruno as you will never come close to theatrical screening that way.

Great observation!

Have you settled with a choice?

Thanks Emily! A solution that lets two or more users work on the same projects across different systems like ProTools and DR.

Can the perception of a typical 70's look vary from geography and background?

Nothing to consider, simply use the standard AAF workflow used in both Avid and Premiere.

I just watched Kill Bill again and in one of the fighting scenes it switches from color to B/W with burned out and glowy whites. Do you know the reason why they did that?

Can you help me get an overview over the most common external hardware storage solutions?
