I think I may have painted myself in a corner on a project I'm working on. Please advise me if I am screwed...
The client gave me a Premiere sequence of a relatively simple, "Picture in Picture" style edit, using 6k R3D source clips, in a 1920x1080 timeline. The editor pushed in, repo'ed and cropped the clips at varying levels, so there isn't a uniform scale or Transform applied to the clips.
Resolve did a surprisingly accurate job in translating the XML from Premiere. All the crops and repos translated perfectly. Because the client wanted to be able to grade the PiP shots in a spatial context, I just left all the crops and sizing where they were, and graded the session to our satisfaction.
Now it turns out that the client needs to deliver additional, oddly shaped outputs for retail displays (various non 16x9 display aspects). This will require different cropping and repositioning of the clips, in order to accommodate the weird display aspects.
So we got to thinking that the best way around this, without having to re-invent the wheel, is to just render out all of the clips at their native, 6K source resolution (without any of the cropping or transforms baked in), so that he can just repo and re-crop the graded 6k renders in After Effects or Premiere.
But when I rendered the clips at 6k (with "Render at Source Resolution" and "Disable edit and input sizing" enabled), all of my Power Windows all rendered significantly out of alignment with the original positions that they were when in the working 1920x1080 timeline resolution. This made a large portion of the 6k renders effectively unusable.
Is there any way out of this pickle, besides manually repositioning all the windows in a 6k timeline by hand?
