Transform/Blanking Error Alarm

We often have to deal with clips that come from the edit with transform effects that do not fit the canvas perfectly and produce blanking issues in QC. Oftentimes, it's just a pixel line that does not fit perfectly and is not visible, but it is visible to automated QC.

Coming from Baselight, there is a neat feature called "Transform Alarm." It displays the underlying Alpha in a pink color, so at first glance, you will see if a clip does not match the canvas perfectly.

Since 18.2 I had to deal with stabilizations (Translation, Perspective and Similiarity) which produced a blanking issue. It was often just a pixel line, but that's enoigh to fail in automated QC.

As a workaround what I tend to do is but a bright solid color clip underneath the clip with the transform so it really pops out.

It would be nice to have a toggle or something while doing transforms that gives you a visual cue or a high contrast difference between image and canvas.

In Version 18.6.4 your workaround does only work for Edit sizings, but not for Input Sizings. For some reason Resolve gives a black background.

Check that you have unmix deselected.

No, that doesn't help.

I've uploaded a video to clarify things:

It's. working on 19 beta for me.

Will check later on v18
