Stabilization embedded to powergrades and raw settings

PostMon Sep 26, 2022 10:41 pm

If you "apply grade" from one clip to another, if the clip had stabilization on it, it carries the exact same calculation over to the new clips. It doesn't make any sense, because every clip needs a different stabilization calculation.

This is particularly frustrating when the second clip already has stabilization, as it gets overwritten by the first clip's settings, and you have to take the time to stabilize every single clip all over again, which is a HUGE time waster.

Can we get a fix for this? This has been an issue for many years and BMD refuses to fix such a glaring flaw in DaVinci Resolve. It wastes a TON of time.

Before you say mark > keyframe timeline > color, you lose your raw settings carryover by doing that.

Stabilization settings are always unique to each clip. who the heck at BMD thought it would be a good idea for them to carry over to other clips just because a grade is carried over?

This needs to be solved immediately, it's been far too long.

when I turn on preserve input sizing the stabilisation doesn't copy across. Raw settings do though - Is that what you are after?

Under the Mark menu, choose Keyframe Timeline Mode -> Color (not "All"), and it should just copy color only and not anything included in PTZR, including stabilization.

You may want to right-click in the Gallery page and choose Apply Grade Using -> No Keyframes and see if that sticks.

All of this is covered in the manual. I've been using Resolve since 2010, and we figured this out in a few days... 12 years ago.

I already explicity covered this... Doing that makes it so the raw settings do not copy over, which sucks.

I already have that checked, still doesn't do it.

There's no easy way to sift through the manual and search for a particular problem... If you could point me to where it shows this, that'd be great. And please, no need for snark, especially when you clearly didn't even read what I wrote, and your none of your solutions even work... It's just disrespectful.

Ah finally, a possible solution! This may just be exactly what I'm looking for, thank you. I hope this works and I can finally avoid all the headaches. Just to be clear, in order to do what you just described, how should my Mark > keyframe timeline setting be? ALL, or COLOR?
