![]() ![]() Check whether or not to render with audio. Step 4 – Deliver: Set it to render each clip individually, assign the target destination and frame rate and the naming options. ![]() Open the project settings and set these values: 3D Input LUT – ARRI Alexa Log-C or BMD Film to Rec 709. Step 3 – Color: Make sure the camera setting for the clips on the timeline are set to Project. Resolve may be used to properly grade these images to the final look as dailies are generated, or it may simply be used to apply a viewing LUT for a more pleasing appearance during the edit. These profiles facilitate high-quality grading later. Log-C for the Alexa and BMD Film for Blackmagic. Each offers a similar log gamma profile that may be applied during recording in order to preserve dynamic range. Correct the images to a proper video appearance by using the available color correction tools or filters within the NLE that you are using.Ĭreating edit-ready dailies – ARRI Alexa / BMCC (ProRes, DNxHD media)īoth the ARRI Alexa and the Blackmagic Cinema Camera can record Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD media files to onboard storage. Rendered ProRes files may now be directly imported into FCP 7, FCP X or Premiere Pro. The paid version of Resolve will permit output at the larger, native size. The free version of Resolve will downscale the BMCC’s 2.5K-wide images to 1920×1080. Change and apply these values: 1) Camera raw – CinemaDNG 2) White Balance – as shot 3) Color Space and Gamma – BMD Film. Step 3 – Color: Make sure the camera setting (camera icon) for the clips on the timeline are set to Project. Step 2 – Conform: Skip this tab, since the clips are already on a single timeline. Step 1 – Media: Drag clip folders into the Media Pool section. You may prefer this if you intend to use a Log-to-Rec709 LUT (look up table) in another grading application or a filter like the Pomfort Log-to-Video effect, which is available for Final Cut Pro 7/X. This log preset generates files with a flat look comparable to ARRI Log-C. Files may be graded for the desired final look at this point, or the operator can choose to apply the BMD Film preset. Resolve 9 can be used to turn these into QuickTime or MXF media for editing. The Blackmagic Cinema Camera can record images as camera raw, CinemaDNG image sequences. Resolve is deep and powerful, so spend time with the excellent manual to learn its color correction tools, which would be impossible to cover here.Ĭreating edit-ready dailies – BMCC (CinemaDNG media) This tutorial is intended to highlight some of the basic workflow steps associated with these tasks. Many casual users employ Resolve in these two ways: a) correcting camera files to send on to editorial, and b) color correction roundtrips with NLE software. These are broken into Media (where you access the media files that you’ll be working with), Conform (importing/exporting EDL, XML and AAF files), Color (where you do color correction), Gallery (the place to store and recall preset looks) and Deliver (rendering and/or output to tape). Work in Resolve 9 generally flows left-to-right, through the tabbed pages, which you select at the bottom of the interface screen. Resolve runs fine with a single display card (I’ve done testing with the Nvidia GT120, the Nvidia Quadro 4000 and the ATI 5870), but requires a Blackmagic video output card if you want to see the image on a broadcast monitor. For facilities seeking to add comprehensive color grading services, there’s also a version with Blackmagic’s dedicated control surface, as well as Linux systems configurations.īoth paid and free versions of Resolve (currently at version 9.1) work the same way, except that the paid version offers larger-than-HD output, noise reduction and the ability to tap into more than one extra GPU card for hardware acceleration. The new Blackmagic Cinema Camera software bundle also includes the full (paid) version, plus a copy of Ultrascope. DaVinci Resolve 9 comes in two basic Mac or Windows software versions, the $995 paid and the free Lite version. With Resolve 9, DaVinci sports a better user interface that makes it easy to run, regardless of whether you are an editor, colorist or DIT working on set. ![]() Blackmagic Design’s purchase of DaVinci Systems put a world class color grading solution into the hands of every video professional. ![]()
