DAVINCI 16 | Big feature request list.

i have to modify the timeline or the settings

Exactly. Keep those controls where they belong.

No. Having an option it does not mean that you must use it: it will make life much easier for the user with multiple delivery.

There is an ofx in the color page, you're not force top o use it, it is up to you, but not having the option will be surely painful.

Exactly. Keep those controls where they belong.

This would only make sense for my workflow, if I could at least have a different transform for monitoring and for output. As it stands now I monitor and do my main final delivery in P3, but have to constantly be exporting in Rec709.

A compromise could be to have separate settings for output and deliver (don't see why this option couldn't be in the deliver page), monitor as usual in P3, while exporting revisions in Rec709. Then at the end changing to P3 output for the DCP and then back to Rec709 for the rest of the deliverables.

So that's how it is for me. And always worried to forget to reset my settings for the next render, or worse do some color work while in the wrong color space.

Maybe someone can suggest a more practical workflow... But one that doesn't include making separate projects per color space.

I request keyframes for pre-group and post-group sections. If I can keyframe a shared node, I should be able to keyframe a node in a pre-group or post-group node tree.

Aren't yall tired of looking at the parades trying to match 2 shots ...
basically i don't know how till now Resolve doesn't have a way to view single channels and luminosity channel as example as an option in the viewer.. its already in fusion.

take a look at this simple thing how much it can help with matching
youtube.com/watch?v=6Le6AJaLJhQ&ab_channel=PaulDeNigris

also a very important feature i assume is color average sampling box
why cant we simply do that:

youtube.com/watch?v=eLmUxE70Re4&ab_channel=LOUCANNIZZO
youtube.com/watch?v=EM1EeUCuY4k&ab_channel=Foundry%2Cimaginationengineered

in these two videos you can see that matching two different shots can be as simple as sampling and mapping areas from one shot to another.. maybe theres a way in resolve we can do that but i don't know it, i'm surprised we don't have these features till now.

i have to admit resolve has became an amazing piece of software but also i see that the focus is going toward the edit tab and fusion which of course i appreciate but i would like to see more to the color tab aside from the node graph

Also why don't we have visualization of ranges in log grade mode it could save a lot of dialing left and right trying to eyeball where the high range and low range fall.

let me know your thoughts on that

DaVinnci is Great Art of Modern Tool.
I would Request Following Feature to be added.
1.Duration of Clip on Timeline, probably next to Clip name. This is available in Avid Media composer.
2.Title generated in Davinci, does not show duration length in metadata page.
3.Media Management: Select an Timeline Sequence, collect all media relative associate to New bin, this will help to be more organized.
4.DaVinci Fusion, Layer based compositing: Reason is to have visual reference of clip used for compositing. Note: This Feature is already Available in DR, for Example, if parked on selected timeline, fusion only takes the top layer for effects, and can have any number of nodes in fusion, this is great. If the layer under needs effects, just toggle of any other layer, fusion will work on layer top layer seen. And when again all layer toggle On, fusion remember all effect on individual layer, this is Excellent. The only issue is, you dont have the reference background layer for visual alignment. If this is added, then DR will be addition layer based compositor.

Not sure if this has been requested, as far as I know it's not possible. I'd like to see the viewer LUT decoupled from the render output. This is how Nuke works, for example.

This is most relevant when ingesting footage for output as EXR pulls. Regardless of whether they are ACES or non-ACES, the EXRs have to be linear 1.0 gamma. So for example in an ACES project I need to disable the rrt/odt before each render which feels super hacky.

It can work the other way, where I may want to quickly disable the viewer LUT so I can see how scopes look for the linear image. ie I want to see the linear HDR values. If the LUT is a node then that's easy but if it's set up in the Project color management settings (where it should be) then I have to dig around a bit to do that.

EXRs aren't just for VFX. For most of the films I work on these days, the pulls are EXRs all the way through to DI and this is the cases for both ACES and non-ACES shows so I think Resolve should be more EXR friendly.

1. PBR materials

2. Ability to render or pre-render from multiple machines like Fusion Studio.

3. Ability to assign individual MIDI channels in the same VST instruments. For example be able to send each drum and cymbal of a drum kit to a separate track for mixing.

4. Easier way to extrude 2D shapes

5. Set the beats per minute in Fairlight.

Ability to continue working on project while rendering is in use. Like fcpx.

Doing a lot of soccer-videos I found something that would be nice to have:

Instead of changing markers in the EDIT-Space to duration markers it would be very helpful to have the duration of a sequence between two markers - that can be In- and Out-points or special "Duration-Markers" continuously shown in above the source and the timeline-player. Right inbetween the clip-duration and the red or green dot showing if playback is realtime.

As said, would be nice to have.

Thanks a lot for the work done till now.

Would like to see the scopes get some long needed attention.

1) reset scaling only, via mouse-click (alt + double middle click?)
2) zoom in Y axis only for parade and waveform - I like to zoom in to 0-60 or 0-100 range when I'm checking blacks. Currently I also have to scroll side to side to see all of it. I'd like to be able to leave this zoomed to this shadow range while reviewing, then reset via mouse-click to get back full range view.
3) save settings - zoom, channels, reticule, gain, etc... saved to presets
4) greater flexibility in resizing and layout for dual screen

I wish I can continue working while resolve is exporting

An option to show up 2 or 4 scopes at once when the scope viewer is attached to main the workspace on single display computers.

[Dwaine Maggart]

Workspace - Video Scopes - On is not working for you? You have the option to have it in 1, 2 or 4 Up mode.

From all that I've read, it seems to me that it's time to rejuvenate the Delivery page without changing the project settings:
- possibility to change the FPS (it is possible to change the size). There are risks if we do not master it but (we are big boys ...)
If FPS is changes then :
-possibility of choosing the interpolation method (eg without or like those of the process retime)
-possibility to ask the pitch or not for the sound
endif

For the cases of clean install of resolve or after an HDD crash (normally we have a backup but ...)
-possibility to import/export its delivery parameters (the backup exists) in a 'users' format
-possibility to import/save and export its export settings (directory and name) in a 'users' format

Thank you.

Dwaine, I've not been successful on it after trying really hard from the menu option you suggest.

As you see on the 3 screen captures, the 4 up is not showing up unless I de-attach the videoscopes then resulting "flying" window is clogging around all the time over the workspace. I dream to see the 4 scopes in line tidily integrated on DVR single workspace.

Any answer? There must be a way to do it and maybe I'm the last clueless to find it, as I suspect.

I can install a secondary monitor for scopes only, but I start to get cervical pain spinning my neck between both monitors on long seasons. There is plenty of space for 4 workspace-integraded scopes, as you see on the screen captures.

[Dwaine Maggart]

Yes, the Scopes On mode detaches the scopes from their normal docked location.

So you are asking for 2 and 4 up modes in the docked location? Might get a bit tiny...

That is, thanks! I hope to see it on future versions.

The main issue is that the undocked scopes are always overlapping the workspace on single displays. And unfortunatelly is the only way I know to see 4up scopes.


Thanks

A keyboard shortcut to switch between histogram-vectro-parade.. on 1-up mode may partially help when a docked 4-up is not possible.

-Not having to download a new version to update. (Integrated updater)
-more proxy resolutions ( 10%, 25% etc. )
-Audio visualizer in fusion

Possibility to save/load preset with BMD OFX (like Audio FX)

- When dragging the audio volume-line of a clip, I would love to see the same little levels-infobox right next to the mouse-pointer in the keylight tab as it is already in the editing-tab.

- Color-Tab: It would be super-helpful to be able to copy/paste keyframes when animating color-correction.

- Color-Tab: Maybe thats just me, but I find the HSV model way more intuitive than RGB. So please add it to the reading of the color-picker in the viewer..

It would be nice if you could execute scripts in the context menu of bins and clips on the Media page. The selection would be passed as a parameter to the script.

3.Media Management: Select an Timeline Sequence, collect all media relative associate to New bin, this will help to be more organized.

Have you tried Smart Bins for this?

4.DaVinci Fusion, Layer based compositing:

That would essentially turn it into After Effects.

I suspect that's an overly ambitious request.

-more proxy resolutions ( 10%, 25% etc. )

I'd like to see fixed resolution options.

720p is fine for Cineform proxies, regardless of original resolution.

4.DaVinci Fusion, Layer based compositing:

Once you really get your way around nodes, you never want to go back to layers. Besides Resolve has always been node based, long before Fusion was integrated.

In any case, the timeline is already layer based. We don't need to have Fusion modified to layers for simple composites... we can just use the timeline, and just bounce into Fusion for more involved work.

I don't think very many compositors would like seeing Fusion layerized. It would undo most of the benefits of having it in the first place.

I would like you to select a different cache unit than optimized media. That is to say that you can have these files in two different disks, to increase the performance ... from what I see, now you can only have in a single disk to these 2 files.

Ability to change snap "size" to fewer frames or a smaller snap size. Currently is way too big and it forces me to disable it (with N key) many times when I have many small clips in the timeline.

I'd like to have the ability to adjust the resolution of the UI in DaVinci Resolve especially in Dual monitor mode. Options are a good thing.

That's normally handled at the OS level.

Forum Idea: To add a vote function to the Feature Request thread(s).

My favorite DAW's forum (Reaper) has a poll feature to add "useful" "not interested" etc.polling to the suggestions. They have a separate sub-forum for Feature Requests and each request is done by creating a post with a poll attached. Then discussion can be had on that specific idea within it's thread, and folks can vote. Very organised and interactive.

Resolve reminds me a lot of Reaper with the interactive element in the development. It makes for awesome software.

Yes! This bugs me every time.

Well there's a weird bug in Resolve which, in some instances, ignores the OS settings and does it's own thing. I'd like the option to change it to a different resolution even after it has decided to do it's own thing. We've had that option with various apps for quite some time so it should be possible with a Resolve's UI.

I agree. On Mac OS X MacBook Pro Retina Display a lot of the interface is hidden due to the UI not fitting the resolution. An example of this is when the inspector is open the key frame options are not visible. This seems to be a bug that needs to be fixed.

You've got the OS Scaling set to 100%, yes? You shouldn't ever change that.

I've actually never seen a program offer the option of what screen resolution to run at. I don't think it's that common.

At least not on Windows.

Please add support for Adobe Dcp color profiles.
Thanks

What's that?

Being able to nudge windows

with multicam clips selected, ctrl+shift+left or right is next/previous angle, but only in multicam mode. in source mode it is not assigned to anything by default. would be nice to have it also working in source mode.

Or/and, when you press f / doubleclick on the clip, you get to see all the angles in your source window, but you cant change the current angle (even though there's an indicator which looks like it's gonna cut/change angle when you click) , unless you are in multicam mode. would be nice when i click on an angle it would actually change to that angle, still in source mode. would save some time toggling between these modes.

Optimized media enhancements requests:

Would be great to have a simpler way to identify clips which has optimized media (small icon or something in the thumbnail)
Would be also great to have a way to detach or delete proxy media individually
Would be able to set proxy media location project by project
Would be really useful if I had a setting to create proxies in the background so I don't have to wait hours before I start to work

Hello,

I hope that Davinci Resolve version 16 will include:
-the VST3
-possibility to open the Neutron 2 (advanced) Visual Mixer
(currently Crash Davinci Resolve, even stereo, 5.1 and...)
- possibility to open the (advanced) Tonal Balance Control
(currently Crash Davinci Resolve, even stereo, 5.1 and...)

Sidechain...

I hope good news to come ... soon.

The ability to save the project file where we choose on each project.. (Most people prefer to save the project file with their footage along with project files from other software. We often have 3-5 different apps involved in a project). The current method of placing all the project files in a directory not related to the footage is a recipe for lost work.

Yes, there are workarounds, but why do this very basic thing contrary to virtually ALL software on the market? Extremely counterintuitive

Am I missing something?

I think it would be very usefull for editors that need to works with other people, expecially with sound guy the possibility to export to others DAW as usually sound guy like.
So it would be great to have the feature of doing an AAF that link to the original audio files.
And another option to export AAF with embedded media but with metadata from the sound recorder (what's on the tracks as mic, orifinal file name, display name).
This is the only thing that most of editors in the movie business I know needs to feel secure to jump on resolve and abandon the old avid. Right know is very complicated to go to pro tools (no way to link to the original files, no audio file name but name from video with syncronised clips, all new mxf files, lots of out of sync, very slow process, and most of all no metadata except volumes and pans from the 15.3 version.
Hope this very important feauture will be add very soon.
