DaVinci Output Blanking

Hello to all! Something is drive me cravy. I've enabled Output Blanking in the Color window in DaVinci. Now i want to export my project without Output Blanking. How can i turn it off?
In the Color menu there isn't an option to do that!
Thanks in advice!

Is your blanking set in the "Timeline" mode?

It's in the resizing section in the colour window - there are blanking controls there

Thank you JP for the reply. I'm really new of DaVinci. What i've done is simply select the Color window and choose the 2.40 aspect ratio from the Output Blanking menu. Sorry for the question, but where i can find the timeline mode?

Sorry Kimberley i've not read your reply. Yes i've used the output blanking in color menu. Now i want simply turn it off and i don't understand how! Probably the right way is to do it in the sizing panel for the next time, but now i can't go back and the manual says how to turn it on but not how to return back...

Sorry, I'm pretty new with Resolve myself and I don't have it in front of me so I'm probably not being clear. The solution isn't in the colour menu it is in the colour window (where you do the grading). There are sizing options down with the curves, power window and blur options - it is there where you can reset the blanking. Hopefully I explained it well enough

There really should be an on/off option in the Color/Output Blanking drop down menu—and a check mark to show what is selected.

When Output Blanking (or sizing) is selected, you go directly to Timeline mode, and any color changes made there can f up your whole timeline if you forget to go back to Clip mode.

If you're working with HD footage you can 'disable' it by selecting 1.77 from the Color menu (16:9)

Thank you so much to all of you! I'll try the 1.77 since i'm in a 1080 timeline and i'll let you know the results.
Thanks again.

Ok, the 1.77 works well!
Thank you so much!

Hi guy.
How to get output blanking but for individual clips ?

Bump; I wanna know if this is possible as well

keyframing the whole timeline?

is not practical

For individual clip output blanking try this:

Use edit sizing which is available on both the edit & colour pages. There is a crop function.
Turn on output blanking, match the position with edit crop, copy and 'paste attributes' to other clips.
If I need to 'rack' the shots I make top & bottom black bars overlay image file in Photoshop and add on a higher video track.

Resolve input/output blanking is a global function.

If I need to 'rack' the shots I make top & bottom black bars overlay image file in Photoshop and add on a higher video track.

If you want to render individual clips with output blanking this won't work.

You can use static keyframes to easily animate output blanking. Only requires one keyframe on the start of the clip that needs to change. And adjustments can be made at any point after that keyframe - there is no animation and no change until the timeline hits another static keyframe.

In a very complicated timeline, where you want to be able to use nodes to paste blanking onto particular shot, you could use a window based technique:

In a new node, Adjust a linear power window to be the correct height.

Command click and drag one of the corner points (this functions as a faux "aspect" control and allows you to scale the window horizontally while keeping it square).

Invert the shape

Use grading controls (ie bring down gain) to adjust the blanking to zero.

You now have blanking that can be copied and pasted, and will render as individual clips. The downside is its a bit tough to get precisely pixel accurate, and also the blanking is relative to the shot, rather than to the timeline.

Yes, in theory you can have a mask for each shot in v2,not ideal but practicable.

I will combine Daniel idea with mine.

make a black shot in v2, make the shape and pipe the alpha output in order to mask, this is easier to copy and paste and you can freely move the shot below

Thank you friend, five years late saving my ass!

I was trying to take it out the output blanking from the opening animation of the video but to keep applying to the rest of the film and it worked like a charm with the static keyframe.

To turn off any blanking you have added, just click Reset at the bottom of the list.

Now you can also use adjustment layers for this tasks.

I get lots of projects with mixed aspect ratios (docs with archival), so I made a DCTL that lets you dial in custom blanking in a node. Hope this helps out....

If a shot has repositioning, does the DCTL understand that our just move with the image?

The DCTL acts on the repositioned image, so it stays in place.

Here's an updated version of the DCTL:
