Xrite Color Checker Workflow
Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2015 4:55 pm
Hi all
I have a workflow question. How do you guys actually work with the new color checker feature in Resolve?
Here's why I ask:
If I have an XML/EDL that I ingest, once I relink the footage, I can start grading. So far, so good. The color checker is usually at the clapper stage of the footage, which is to say in the first few frames of the clips. These frames are never in the edit, so I can't see or access them on the ingested timeline.
Now, I can of course take each clip on a separate/new time line, look for the color checker there and then copy the correction node over to the real timeline. This is however a very sucky workflow. It would be easier if I could scrub for the frame to get the color checker info from in the "real edit" directly, but that doesn't seem possible.
What am I missing?
