If there is a gap between adjacent clips, this may be retained by checking the ‘Gap Between Clips’
option. The ‘Copy to Batch List’ button will incorporate the manually entered information into the EDL,
allowing the user to modify the EDL information. Further information on the Batch List section can be
found later in this chapter.
Audio Options
While DaVinci Resolve is a color grading and enhancement system, it will record and play audio,
principally to be used as a guide track during grading or for preview of the completed Project. To ingest
audio, first select the ‘Enable Audio Ingest’ checkbox. Then, using the pull-down menu, select the Source
of the audio and then the number of audio Channels. You should also select the audio file Bit Depth and
then a file name and location to record the .wav file. Use the ’Browse’ button to select a location.
Folder Options
To select the location for storage of the mono or stereoscopic left images to be ingested, use the
Browse button in the Folder Options section, or just type in the path. The individual frames of video
will be labeled with their source timecode or the code you select, with the appropriate metadata as
you selected in the other sections of this tab. If you have a deck capable of playing stereoscopic 3D
images in real time, and have selected the ‘Enable Stereo Video’ checkbox on the configuration tab,
deck capture section, you will need to specify the destination to record the right eye. Just click in the
‘Selected right eye clip’ window and select browse just as you do for a mono or left eye selection.
Capture
By selecting ‘Capture,’ DaVinci Resolve will start the ingest procedure. You can monitor the progress on
the viewer and the Capture Progress bar and abort the operation by selecting the ‘Abort’ button.
For simple limited settings and no preroll recording, the ‘Crash Record’ button will record material
without a preroll. Once the ingest process is complete, the clips will be available in the folder you set
within your media storage. You can quickly check these within the Browse screen.
Disconnect
To leave the Deck screen you should disconnect the deck by once again selecting the ‘Connect’ button.
You must disconnect from the Deck to leave this screen.
