Because it is that time of the year.

Sneak Images from pre nab (door) reveal resolve 15 as currently being the release, this is a placeholder.

Monday we will start to populate it with our Christmas list!

DR15 wishlist was 504 posts (most with more than one feature request) in a year. Let' see how we do this year...

Just for kicks I went back and had a look through some of the feature requests for 15. . . . Amazing how much of that list is requesting features that already exist in the software. It's a hard read. Gotta give mad props to the developers for putting up with all of that!

I'd like a pull-down list of common audio setup presets, like "5.1 surround," "stereo," and so on. Maybe even savable user-adjustable presets.

Okay, wasn't my intention :) , but in some way i still think you shouldn't just ''add'' features that aren't really there yet. i spent almost an hour researching what i was doing wrong. i mean, next time i'll come across a similar problem, i'll doubt the feature even works properly. it feels buggy.

i dont think it is that bad, but still..

i still like using resolve :)

I was quite suprised to learn that BMD's ISO of CentOS isn't actually able to create a bootable USB drive.

BMD, please include a USB-bootable version of the ISO. Optical drives are getting a bit obsolete.

honestly most of the concerns I have been addressed in v15, should they all work as hoped, so it's down to a few notes;

- unlock the mapping for the small surfaces knobs and buttons
- alternate of Exposure / Contrast / Saturation mapped the the rings and balls as well as the current LGG
- lock nodes so i can hand off a DRP to the finishing editor / sound without concern of accedental mayham,

should note that sound and finishing take place in seperate facilities normaly,

look at Baselight's Lens that allows editors to extend head and tails, but not to change the grades without the $1000 plug-in, and even then the Grades from my suite are always kept, anyone downstream can create versions with the plug-in, but can never delete or change my approved version of the grade

something that allows me to lock my version + underlying color science, and allows others to modify my version but never overwriite it - so they can extend shots if needed and re-track masks in Fusion or Resolve

Within a project, I need timelines with variable resolutions and frame rates. Once this happens, I will build a Resolve only pipeline.

lets be a bit more specific:

-do you need timelines with declared resolution in a project? (not defined by the global settings)
-do you need different frame rate timelines in a single project (like one being 23.98 and the other 24.00 without be dependent from the setting)?


what else are you missing?

dropdown in the timeline choice (edit/color/delivery):

1) it should present the bin structure like the LUT selection
2) it must be in alphabetical order

groups cleanup menu:

1) drop down menu for choice in color [clip] menu -> alphabetical order
2) in the drop down menu [clip - group] there should be a choice for any clips that does not belong to a group
3) in the [clips - smart selection] creation, there is no choice for clips that don't have a group
4) if i rename a group called {digital clips from vfx}, at the moment i got served a new blank [group #]: it should present the current name {digital clips from vfx} so i can modify it.

I just need to be able to have different timeline frame rates and resolutions within a project. In premiere, I can go to the timeline settings, and change them quite easily. Flame as well.

For example, often I need to deliver 23.98 timelines that are vertical (ie., 1080x1920), square (1080x1080), and HD (1920x1080). ALSO I have to deliver at SD at 29.97. I can switch my project to all of those resolutions and output them, but it is obviously a painful and human-error prone process. If I was a modern commercial editor, I think this would be an absolute necessity to have this before I switched.

two things in DS that would be usefull to anyone finishing longform;

- parent/child timelines, so one parent timeline and any changes ripple through the child timelines, think about gradeing a reel and haveing stiched timelines with diffrent formatting updateing,
very usefull at the end of a project when tweaks and qc fixes need to ripple thought a large number of versions already created
changes to a child timeline remain local to that timeline, like scaling / filtering / ofx changes in the HD downconvert timeline of a shot with alising issues for example remains local to that child HD timeline, and any further child timelines it controls

- filter timeline to reveal all clips with an effect identical to the node/timeline effect highlighted, ripple any changes, replace node/timeline effect, delete node/timeline effect

This was part of the previous list (over several requests) can't hurt to revive ..

Color Picker improvements:
Ability to compare 2/more reads in a frame
Live picker read, updates while correcting
A link between picker and scopes
Additional color models - LAB and HSL would be perfect.
A dedicated (small ?) color picker window that updates both visually (color patch) and numerically (like the Fusion Color Inspector). Avid (of all tools ...) has a nice one too, where you can compare 2 reads.
A shortcut for turning picker on/off...

Ease-In & Ease-Out for Position "X" and Position "Y," as requested for years.

P.S. Fusion crops images and/or de-scales the image when creating a Fusion Comp. Also, Fusion has no frame reference count if you plan to animate a photo via the main timeline.

Lut creation needs two modes:

Standard: as it is now
Extended: well try to generate a lut no matter what, even if i have 10 ofx stacked in the color.

And choice of 33/65 sided lut.

My Ideas will be:

-A curve scope like the one on baselight where I can see what changes I'm doing to the signal:

-If I'm playing with contrast controls I want to be able to see the effect on a curve(like when you using
a greyscale as image)

-The same for colors, I want to understand the gradation of my colors along the curve.

-Improved log controls: I would like to have more control over the range points, so I don't need to overlap two nodes to play colors on top of colors.

-As ACES user I would like to have the default film stock LUTS as a LMT.

Because Da Vinci now is a full featured daw it will never have midi recording.
It would be nice to sync the sequencer with Fairlight.
It's easy to implement it.

Realtime graphics:

I read that with scripting we can create realtime 3d titles within Fusion....just curious how...
It would be nice to have an engine that mixes video, live video, 3d titles and automates all these things to create broadcast realtime graphics+key
Scripting it's not an easy thing, I would prefer a visual node scripting.

Thats the only reason i camt switch totally from premier to DR as a daily driver editing software coz lots of the projects i have clients always ask to have different adaptations for different platforms or usually digital advertising screens for now in DR theres no way to have these kind of projects i dunno how it hasnt been implemented till now

I love DR as a colorist and i wanna completely switch from premiere and after effects to Dr and fusion right now simpley i can't till davinci really think to implement the simplest things like:


-Moving timelines between projects
-copying clips from a timeline on a project to another timeline on another project
- undocking panels (have anyone tried to work on one screen and playing a timeline against offline refrence and opening the inspector unfortunately the offline refrence will go away ) thats so annoying
-and the most logical simple thing setting a timeline resolution and framerate independent per timeline not project based be able to change the framerate at any point
- a complicated one will be opening multiple projects at the same time i know this will be implemented Davinci 25

Untill these features are implemented unfortunately i cant call it my editing software

You don't have to wait for V25...

You can use Dynamic Project Switching to have several projects loaded simultaneously.

You can also use it to move Timelines (of similar FPS) and clips between them

And look into Power Bins too (for sharing clips and media, but not timelines, between projects)

Fairlight audio plugins for UAD.

Blackmagic wants to sell Fairlight dsp accelerators but today the standards are two: cpu o Sharc dsp based accelerated audio plugins.

Blackmagic could sell its audio plugins through the UAD web site or embed its dsps within the thunderbolt break out boxes/pci video boards.

Universal Audio today is a standard for pro audio.

The fabulous developers at BMD have done so much in so little time... but (poor me) the one thing I was really waiting on didn't make it into v15b1... ah well, let me ask again.

All track timecode display/overlays are a basic feature of professional NLE systems... and as Resolve is clearly deserving of being listed amongst the best of them, please add support for all track timecode display/overlays in DR15/16.

At present:
Data Burn In only supports the display of timecode and/or related info of topmost video track
Timecode Window only displays sequence timecode.

Adding support for all track timecode display/overlays via either feature mentioned above (or as an entirely new feature) would be greatly appreciated.

Many many thanks
Andy

The idea here is to migrate the Timeline Format from a global Master Setting to individual Timeline Settings, specific only to that timeline.

Can we pleeeeease get rid of the Master bin? It's wholly unnecessary and prevents us from organizing as we see fit.

For example. I want my top level bins to be Audio, Graphics, Media, Timelines. I don't want a Master bin above those. I want those four at the very top. Anything outside of those four will simply not be in a bin.

Version 15 still automatically deselects Render Queue jobs when new jobs are added. I'd love for them to remain selected until that job is finished, manually deselected, or manually deleted.

So if I add three jobs in a row, then hit Render, all three jobs will be rendered.

Depends how you see Resolve in your workflow. In most finishing scenarios it isn't common. As for editing. I guess it depends on what you do.. Avid sort of restricts you that way, and it doesn't prevent the many Avid editor from editing a hefty part of the world's content. would be nice to bring different FPS timelines to a project and have Resolve automatically adapt them like Avid does.

Thats what im saying :) as davinci is aiming to be market leading editing software they hv to consider modern multi platform workflow when whether im a feature film or commercial editor especially in commercial workflow we very much often need to work on multible adaptations different resolutions and frame rate for different platforms i think handling different frame rate and resolution timelines in one project is the way to go if thats there i would cancel my adobe subscription with no hesitation :)

I would like to have a "Bypass all grades while tracking" toggle. Tracking is so much faster when the grade is disabled.

Optionally, it could also be "Number of nodes to process while tracking" so you could still help the tracker with increased contrast in node 1, but save the computing power required for nodes 2-10.
