Save MONEY! Blackmagic CLOUD Storage Tips + iPhone

[@jemadv1594]

Will come back to this after understanding Proxies because I love your tips but this one didn't stick. Thank you

[@andywakeman9806]

Tip! If you want to sync proxy-only files from your Sony, you need to batch-rename the files to the same as the high-resolution originals. Unlike Premiere, Resolve likes the proxy file names to be the same. Then, they will be uploaded to the cloud.

Very good insight for a consistent workflow.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thanks for watching!

Finally a clear explanation of conform, vs relinking media - in the last seconds of your tutorial. Conform was always a bit of a black box editors phrase, lacking useful clarity. I have have used the relink method extensively to swap out h.265 originals for ProRes 422Hq “originals” matched with my prores 422Lt proxies. Soto achieve a full ProRes workflow. But this requires maintaining full length identically named clips. Now I understand how conform uses clip name and timecode to lock matching proxy/original clips I have another toolset that is better for rebuilding projects from “edited” footage.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Great to hear this helps. I have an outline of a full conform tutorial with all the gotchas. Would this be helpful? Or do you find that relinking works best for your work?

@@CreativeVideoTips I am developing a professional colourist career, so mastering all the ways of ingesting footage, and managing timeline clips is expected by clients. Reading about techniques in the BMD manuals only takes one’s understanding so far. Watching others -like yourself- demonstrate the use of the language and associated techniques takes understanding further. Leaving only purposeful practice as one’s last step towards understanding. Any “creative video tips” you provide help bridge the gaps between theory and practice are thus very welcome- even if it is necessary to watch several times to catch the nuance in your demonstration. I really appreciate your direct succinct approach. You do not usually waffle, nor do you over explain, or oversell. You most often stop just far enough short of an overblown explanation that the student needs to actively engage and exercise their imagination to complete their understanding. This is very different to those typical other’s tutorials that lead a student to invest excessive effort to merely figure out which aspects of their explanations are unnecessary or fundamentally incorrect. Thus, your channel is one of the top half a dozen I feel utterly confident in recommending to fellow travellers on the road to mastery.

Excellent content as always Chadwick, Thank you. 👍

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Much appreciated

[@JoseSpenaN]

Excelente tutorial.... Excellent way to teach

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thanks for being here. I appreciate ya Jose!

[@drewsciba]

Another 5 star video. Can you create a vid regarding the need to rename camera originals before editing (using Adobe Bridge or other) for at least 10 reasons I won't name here?

[@heather__outdoors_]

Excellent contents! step by step tutorial is awesome even for a beginner like me. Everything was fine before I get 'Media Offline' on my project. can you help me with that?

[@Snider-Films]

Great stuff. And, yes, I’d be interested in how you created the Apple script for directory structure creation.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thanks so much Time, and noted. Keep an eye in the coming month or two on folder creation.

[@Snider-Films]

@@CreativeVideoTips Thank you!

[@sanssoleilfilm]

what about other media files besides video: graphics, audio, music etc. - do you turn that into proxies as well when you are working in the cloud?

[@LaLekASMR]

Using an only Proxies (1080p) workflow for editing, does it still helps to keep the timeline at 1080p instead of 4k?

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Such a good question! Using proxies will have the biggest impact but YES still use a 1080 timeline for the rough cut, then upres before export. The computer is working much harder to process 4x the pixels when timeline is set to 4k.

[@LaLekASMR]

@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks a lot for the reply! I will prepare the timeline in 1080p when I create new cloud projects for my editor

[@martinjohannesK]

great summary - relevant Steps - very clear > like always a perfect Lerning Lesson ! Thank yo use much !!!

[@landtoskyproductions]

Yes! What folder app was that?!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Nice! It is actually a very basic script I made in Automator. Are you on a Mac? Trying to gauge interest to teach how to make it. Post Haste is a free app that can do similar but I like clicking a single button.

[@landtoskyproductions]

@@CreativeVideoTips yes, on a Mac. I'd love to see what you did there. I love Post Haste, but it's a bit overkill for my particular setup.

[@MariusGerome]

17:12 if you change the resolution of the timeline, but lets say the editor has placed several graphics, text etc. … doesn't that mean that they all look off place when you change from 1080 to 4k?

[@courtenaybotterill5591]

"Big Boy Camera" ha ha. Brilliant!

[@avdpost]

So helpful! Q: how did you monitor and control the iPhone on your desktop? Or is it a comp? Or both? Also very curious how you manage projects with thousands of timelines, I find the bigger projects backups become slow and occasionally hang. (Big timelines)

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thanks so much! The phone is live into OBS captured by DouWan app. You could comp it and use built in screen recording but trying to speed up production to create a lot more tutorials this year. For big projects, actually all of my main work is using the network Postgres databases. This is the fastest performance and also has an optimize button and ability to nightly backup that I taught on last week. However you can also right click to disable timelines in the bins. This is suppose to make it lighter but on the short form commercial work I do I never felt a difference disabling timelines. Plugins can drag the system so be selective on what you really need. I only use about 5.

[@avdpost]

humm, plugins, good to know. I tend to only use a couple in a timeline from izotop or ozone, but usually only a couple are actually live during playback. But I do have a lot that load in on boot up, so when you say be selective, do you mean on which ones are processing or which ones are loaded in the effects bins?@@CreativeVideoTips
