Thanks, Jirka.

I've actually already played around with Resolve a fair bit. I muck around with the C-Log picture profile from EOSHD.net, and have tried my hand at raw video with Magic Lantern, too.

For this project I think I'll just stick with some saturation and contrast adjustments from with PD itself. I'll take things through Resolve on my next project.

Thanks again.

Thanks Jirka.Bolec, will do.

I'm used Resolve 12.5 a bit, and have been figuring things out slowly. I'll see if anything changes when I install the v14 beta. Hopefully nothing explodes.

I'm realising now that when I export from PD I won't keep my individual clips, which will make selcting individial clips in the Resolve NLE editor a bit more of a headache. I can probably get by with just using what PD offers for basic colour correction.

Maybe next itme I'll colour in Resolve first, export, and then edit in PD.

At the top left of the screen are a few options - Capture, Edit, Produce, Create Disc.

Clicking the 'Produce' button will take you to another screen where all the options for rendering are. You can select various formats and codecs there, one of which is mp4. Choose your format and save destination and you'll be good to go.

Otherwise the 'Save' button under 'File' will only do just as you said - save the project file.

Hi folks,

I'm been searching the forum for a bit now trying to find an answer to this question, but have come up empty-handed.

Some others have asked about lossless exports in PD, and the answer is that there isn't an option. I'm using PD14, which still has Quicktime as an export option, and I'm only dealing with 1080p footage from a Canon DSLR.

I'd like to render a file and then bring it into Resolve to grade. I'm realising now that maybe I should have graded all the clips beforehand in resolve and them exported them to bring into PD...Anyway...

Under the Quicktime export option you can create a custom profile. Under 'video compressor' there are a variety of coden types, and under 'video quality' there doesn an option for 'lossless quality.'

I'm not worried about file sizes as this will just be an interim file. What's my best bet for minimal quality degradation?

Thanks

Aha! Perfect. Thanks, JL.

I fugured it must be up/down scaling it at some point, I just wasn't sure when it was happening. The only '4K' stuff I have is from a smartphone, which looks OK in well-lit, outdoor scenes, downscaled to 1080p. That was what I was curious about.

Thanks again~

Thanks JL

So if I have a 1080p clip, then drop in a 4k clip, it fills the aspect ratio. This means that PD is automatically downsizing the 4K footage to fit the 1080p timeline?

Likewise, if I drop the 4K clip in first, and then the 1080p clip in afterwards, the 1080p clip is being upsized to fit th 4K timeline?

This still seems a little strange to me. PD only lets you define as aspect ration and not a resolution?

Hi folks,

I'm looking for an option to select resolutions/frame size. I can't seem to find this anywhere, even after a bunch of online searches. I'm used to having this after the little bit of editing I've done in Premiere Elements.

If I drag 4k footage into my timeline, it sits at 100% in the preview window. Same thing for 1080p. I would like to know whether or not I'm working in a 1080p or 4k timeline. If I drop HD footage alongside my 4k footage, I'd like it to fill up a quarter of the frame, and conversely, have to scale back the 4k footage by 50% if I drop it into an HD timeline.

That way I can know sor sure that I'm downsizing 4k to 1080p. As it stands now, everything fills the preview window to 100%.

Thanks~~
