Change Input Format Preset for Clips
To set Input and Output Format Presets that can be used with Session clips and apply as global presets,
make the changes from the Configuration screen or for Clip presets, within the Media Pool. Presets
can also be applied from within the Format screen, or as identified here, by right mouse clicking on a
thumbnail within the Color or Format screen.
These are pre-defined settings for various image scans and are useful, for example, when a film has been
over scanned. Instead of having to resize every clip independently, the user can resize a clip and use the
preset to apply to all. If you select ‘None,’ this will indicate that no settings have been applied.
Switch Parent Directory
With a pre-conform workflow, there are often different versions of conform available on the SAN in
separate folders. DaVinci Resolve allows easy toggling between different versions of conform using
switchable Parent Directories.
The function can be accessed using ‘Switch Parent Directory’ from right-click menus in the Media Pool
and the Conform Panel, and also from the Color screen timeline.
DaVinci Revival
DaVinci Resolve image storage can be shared with a DaVinci Revival system. In this configuration the
Resolve operator can select a clip for action by the Revival operator.
The options are: Add selected clips for Grain processing, Add selected clips for Dirt processing, Add
current clips for Dirt processing, Switch selected to DaVinci Revival processed clips, and Switch selected
to original clips. Revival will only process DPX images so to send images to DaVinci Revival for processing
you need to render non-DPX images first.
When the DaVinci Resolve operator sends a clip to DaVinci Revival for Grain or Dirt processing, a red
indication on the thumbnail to the left of the timecode will indicate the request has been sent. The
DaVinci Revival screen on DaVinci Resolve will list this and all other requests.
Further information on DaVinci Revival operation is available from the DaVinci Revival User Guide and
there is more information on the interface with DaVinci Resolve in the DaVinci Revival chapter later in
this guide.
