Different Post-Production System

PostMon May 19, 2025 10:18 am

Hello

I have a completely different question:

I can perfectly capture 1080 footage with the ATEM ISO, edit it with DaVinci Resolve (on a low-end computer), and at the end of the post-processing process, I replace the ISO file with the 6K version and have it rendered on a high-end computer.

Now I have the task of recording 6K videos for a client with a low-end computer. He works with Mac and another editing program.

I want to send him the small ISO files in 1080, and he should edit and reassemble them.

I then want to import his MP4 files into DaVinci Resolve on my high-end computer, and based on the timecode in the MP4 files, and DaVinci Resolve should overlay my 6K RAW videos for Rendering.

Is that possible?

There's no other way than carefully testing the whole workflow on your own.
MP4 is not fully reliable regarding TC, if you can get MOV, it would be better.

Export an xml or other kind of timeline from client computer?

You can replace folder from .mp4 to braw and voila most of annoying work is done.
If timecode is well done on original files.

Thank you very much for the feedback.

I already suspected it wouldn't be easy, but your answer sounds promising.

I'll render it as a 1080 MOV and see if I can get it back as a MOV after editing.

And whether I can get the timeline separately on the client.

One more quick question,
(before I google it ;-)-

I once noticed during a complex edit, only after the final cut, that the audio was shifted by a few seconds everywhere.

I then managed to synchronize it via audio using the muted audio track of the film.

I synchronized the original audio track with the audio track of the video clips.
This gave me a full hour of audio, with the corresponding video clips on top.

I then cut out the unnecessary audio sections and was saved.

Can you synchronize two video tracks based on the video information? If there is no timecode?

No, only by audio waveform.
