I have to set up most of my dailies projects in Full Range, and a big frustration is that it that DVR seems to work in Video Levels "under the hood". The problem is that when I export WIP stills, they are exported with Video Levels, and so I have to correct the stills an another application. It would be great if DVR gave users the option to export stills in Full Range. I would love to hear how other colourists are working around this.
And while I'm on the subject, I would also love it if DVR gave more options for the file naming of the stills. At present, the stills are exported using the following naming convention: {video layer}-{timeline position}.{number of sills per clip}. This means that there is a strong likelihood that a still could be overwritten if there are more that 1 timeline per project. So if, for example, the second clip in 2 or more timelines were to be exported as a still, these could be overwritten as the still would have the same filename.
A very useful feature would to give the user the option to "export still using timeline position" (which it does currently), or "export still using clip metadata" - giving the user the option to select which metadata field to use to name the still, such as "clip name", "scene and take", "shot description" etc.
Again, I would love to hear how others are working around these issues.
Thanks in advance!
