Cannot animate OpenFX since Resolve 15

PostTue Aug 14, 2018 5:44 pm

I had a project created in Resolve 14, where I had animated "Mosaic blur" properties.

Now, when loading the same project in Resolve 15, the properties don't animate.

I then started a new project, and after having added some keyframes, the "Mosaic Blur" properties "Pixel Frequency" and on/off toggle don't animate.

The OpenFX don't even appear in the "Keyframes" panel (it did previously, if I'm not mistaken)

It is a version change?

There has been a few threads on this. It was removed and is apparently going to be put back in later... The keyframes are being created, but you just can't see them. Go figure...

I had actually searched before posting, but couldn't find anything.

Animate is realistically not the best search term. Keyframe would have given good results.

use Fusion for OFX - but OFXs are really slow...

Nobody would rave about the current OFX/keyframe interface, but you can (sort of) see the keyframes -- the playhead is keeping pace as you move from one keyframe to the other, using the arrows on either side of the keyframe symbol in the Inspector. In that sense, the keyframes are displayed frame-accurately.

The unreliable performance of the next/previous keyframe shortcut (in the Inspector) doesn't help, but keyframing an OFX is doable, with lots of clicking and patience.

All the OpenFX key framing has moved to the inspector, just like it is on the edit page. It allows for fine grain key framing for each parameter now. We still have some more to do here to allow different keyframe types, etc.

I just painfully discovered this as well. Doh.

But is there any way to adjust / move the keyframes?
I was able to set them in the inspector, but then there seemed to be no way I could move them to adjust timing etc.

Why not use them in Fusion?
It has keyframe splines and tracks, where you can move keyframes.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.
