So just for my information, I am currently watching Pirates Of The Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl, and there is a LOT of different "colour grading" through out, some scenes are quite "natural" looking, and other's are dark and "reddish", is this the grading process that you speak of that takes hours in Resolve ???

yes, movies are graded shot by shot.

So is "shot by shot" the same as "frame by frame" ?

That IS a hell of a lot of frames or shots to be manually graded,
surely Resolve has some way of copying the graded shot/frame, from one adjusted frame to another or group of others ??

I watched a few YT clips on Colour Grading, and most of them are using nodes, to keep track of their changes.

Seems like way too much work for a one off.

no

yes, the colorist can spend weeks/months grading big-budget movies.

of course and this is exactly what I do in the SDR to HDR video when I select multiple shots. You can copy the grade of one shot to another by pressing your mouse's wheel over a shot.
Same story for the Dolby Vision trim pass(es). It doesn't work with the mouse wheel but you can map a key to copy trim or level 1 metadata to any shot.

Quick question. I see the FEL RPUs you are now uploading with cmv 4.0 added. Is it okay to bake FEL and then copy the L8 levels to the P8 RPU?

[Kuler087]

yes it's ok


PS:
The latest beta now supports FEL baking/encoding(8-2) without a Nvidia GPU.

Nice! Thanks

Loving the ability to create heatmaps/gamuts with folders of PNGs with 3.0.0! Would it be possible to create a folder within the output folder like with video screenshots?

[Kuler087]

yes sure

Just a quick question...have you ever considered buying an AMD Threadripper ??

[Kuler087]

never. I'm an intel/nvidia guy.

So I thought I'd run a DV conversion with the new 3.0.0.

I chose WF 3-1, and after it doing all it's process, just over an hour later, I get some error msg's, and that was it

Here's some info:-

I'm running 3-2 on the same movie, as we speak, will comment when completed (or not)

3-2 completed, but the audio is way out of sync...

I must be missing something needed for 3-1 to complete properly.

So Blue & Green team.

I have a majority of AMD's CPU's, but nearly always go for nVidia GPU's.

nothing changed in 3-1 / 3-2...

looks like you added space or special characters in your script path

Damn it...I keep forgetting about

Thanks, I'll try again tomorrow.

Finished now procedure 3-1 with Script 3.0.0
All OK, I did not detect any audio sync problems.

[Kuler087]

I did a stupid redirection bug/typo in workflow 1 when the input doesn't have lossless audio (DTS or THD). Get the latest beta or turn off EAC3 encoding in the settings: https://drive.google.com/file/d/128g...usp=drive_link
I did not notice because my own script EAC3 conversion settings is set to OFF. sorry

Hi
I'm new to the script, amazing job!
I'm trying to do workflow 8-2-4 for converting DV file to SDR. I'm getting some errors and warnings.

I took some pictures, will upload it. Does this is a regular behavior?

Thanks.

Hi,
this looks like a Dolby cm_offline.exe error on an AMD GPU and I dont think there's anything I can do about it since it's working fine with an Nvidia gpu.
You might have to contact Dolby or do it in Resolve, it will be faster anyway.

[hgny]

Yes i tried with resolve. Problem is, my computer doesn't support dolby vision so profile 5 has some pink color and it seems resolve is tone mapping it wrongly.

[Kuler087]

Just tonemap P5 to PQ HDR10 with workflow 8-2-3 which is exactly what the script does in 8-2-4
