Scene Detection

Hi Guys,

Using resolve 9 here... I have a flat video imported and was if anyone could walk me through scene detection to cut it up?

Thank you!

Take a look at the new V9 manual, there is a PDF on the BMD site.
My advice is take your time splitting as clients want to see you grading in the Color page, not re splitting and joining to fix mistakes in the scene cut area.

Have fun

In addition to what Woz says...

Don't deal with dissolves in the Scene Cut Detector... keep it as one long clip and then splice and add the dissolve in the Conform Page. Lots of people get tripped up by this.

Does scene detect support all types of codecs?

I've read through the manual and I'm trying to follow the instructions but still can't figure it out, it wants to me click the 'scene' tab on the lower left of the media page... I can't find it, can anyone help me? It's driving me crazy. Am I blind?

Also, I tried using the Scene Cut Detector option from the drop-down menu, and it's greyed out.

I have my media loaded in the library and it is highlighted.

Help!!! & thanks!

Scene detect supports all the codecs that Resolve supports.

They've moved that button around during the various Beta builds. It's seems to be gone now.

Easiest is to navigate to your footage but DON'T add it to the media pool. Just find the clip in Resolve's browser, right-click, and select 'Scene Detection'.

That'll open up the Scene detect window and you should be good to go from there.
