Hi, Jean-Philippe,
I don't see any changes in the Pro Tools stuff on the delivery page.
To say this is disappointing is an understatement. Particularly since I love to edit on Resolve. For those of us who have to use professional mixers for high-quality 5.1 delivery, the output to Pro Tools is absolutely necessary. It is so well-established in the business.
Pro Tools is not just a music tool. Grant has that wrong. Yes it would be great to have something that really competes with it, and I would like to support that, but it can't be handled like an Apple FCP X thing, where you have to jump all the way on the ship or fall in the water. We're going to have the pry the mixers away from Pro Tools with something way, way better. Otherwise the growing enthusiasm for Resolve as an NLE will quickly fade.
As far as I can tell, after a conversation with my long-time mixer, having the Fairlight page is nice for an editor to touch up the rough cut before a final mix, and it's promising because you don't have to leave the program to use it, but doesn't help those of us who have to go to an established mix house to finish up.
And the Pro Tools output from Resolve has never worked for me, period. We have done a complicated thing where we export to FCP 7, then make an OMF, but that is not a long-term solution!
So seeing what is described as a major update to the software that doesn't include a robust output to Pro Tools is, again, very disappointing. Let's hope they can quickly get the many, many bugs out of this beta and fix the output, too. Most of the rest of it looks great but I'm not getting any of the new stuff - like improved playback -- to work at all.
Good luck!
