Lightning Fast Conforms in Resolve ⚡

[@HeliopausePictures]

Well done, Luke. Thank you. This is a very nice tutorial ... and , the Stream Deck + looks like another piece of gear that I need. It looks like you have a tutorial on setting it up, too. Bravo.

Thanks Scott!

I love the stream deck usage, I've been wanting to really upgrade my use of it. I've always found it easier to overlay the reference at 50% opacity though, especially for transform matching. You notice immediately when something is off, and can quickly tell how your source shot needs to change.

Cheers for the comment Nathan! I'm definitely not inclined to use any sort of blend mode personally, but I know it works great for some people! There's something that I prefer about seeing the online and offline separately that appeals to me. Especially if there are input scaling errors or stabilizations, I find it less confusing to evaluate both images cleanly 🎉

Hi! Nice trick on getting to the middle frame of each clip 🔥 On the edit page, you can right-click the viewer and compare the timeline and the offline in Difference mode. I think that’s the best way to confirm a dead match! this also let’s you stay in that mode while you fly through the timeline without having to toggle the reference on & off 👍🏾

Hey! Yes, difference mode is definitely another valid way to conform. If it works for you, that’s awesome! I’ve always disliked it personally, I prefer seeing the images unaltered with no blend mode applied, but there’s many ways to slice the cake 🎉

You can pull the audio from the reference in the media page. Right click on it and select Extract audio.

[@lukerosspost]

Hey, yes you can! I’ve shown that in a previous video here if anyone’s interested 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nF61Y2SNgNGfiqcsi=qg32yn7CH-MO7goB

As a beginner colorist, who has never used any Stream Deck, which model would you recommend? I understand they both have their pros and cons but which do you feel is the strongest for all around purposes?

[@lukerosspost]

This is a great question. It depends! I'm currently using the Stream Deck Plus with a Resolve Micro Panel. I'm planning on bringing back the Stream Deck XL again soon, but I'm working out the best way to layout my desk. I think my advice to someone who doesn't have any external devices would be: buy the Stream Deck Plus or Stream Deck XL first. Then, buy a Resolve or Tangent panel. Then, supplement your set-up with more Stream Decks if needed. The original Stream Deck and the Stream Deck Mini are great for a tight budget, but if you have the cash, the Stream Deck XL and the Plus are better

@@lukerosspost Thank you for such a detailed and helpful response!

What if reference clip has wrong start time code ?

[@lukerosspost]

Hey! You could either change the timeline starting timecode or manipulate the reference clip’s timecode in ‘clip attributes’, either or to get them to match 😊
