So I'm Curious...

What well-known television shows, films, etc. are done completely in Resolve? Not just color, but edited, SFX/GFX, audio, etc.

Its a collaborative environment and people use all kinds of tools. While its possible to do it all in resolve, question is are the studios, contracted freelancers, in-house pipelines etc all working with the same tools? All the time. Usually not. I don't know a list that would list everything that was done in every application, but I'm sure there are those who used fusion especially before 2015 for bunch of films and while now nuke is pushed everywhere, there are still work done in fusion either as supplement or in some cases as main tool. You can find some films and behind the scenes if you search for it for what was used for. But with VFX you also have all the other tools, from Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine, and all the other small and large software. Photoscaming, mocap stuff etc. In house build tools and so on, so its just tools people use to get the job done.

Fairlight is also going more mainstream for audio production in video not so much music, and probably will outpace protools in the future at this pace. But there people still rely on third party plug ins for DAW and probably use iZotopeRX etc.

Here is one working proffesional, Thomas Boykin trying to switch and making a case for switch and more importantly investment in the future.

Audio Post Production - DaVinci Resolve Versus Pro Tools

Editing is probably also done in resolve for some studios, I can't say which and color grading is probably the most popular aspect of resolve for mainstream today.

But chances are that you will still see people use all kinds of tools and not one tool. Although if there is one system that can reasonable offer pretty much all one would need it is resolve. And where its heading at the moment, it probably will be a choice for future filmamkers as one stop shop at affordable price and good integration of all the tools.

Certainly in the space of internet, indy films and outside of Hollywood. I know there are large communities of people in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Russia, China etc. Who use fusion more than people use nuke, and India with so much outsourcing of Hollywood material there, is on Nuke mostly. That's just my impression I don't have hard data on this.

Yes, I’m well aware that most projects are collaborative projects using many different tools. That’s the norm. That’s also why I asked a VERY simple question- which films and/or television shows are done COMPLETELY within DR?

If you understand the norm than why are asking a question that is hard to answer since a) its not the norm to do it all in one place, and b) why would anyone keep an accurate record of all that for public consumption? And c) What have you researched yourself before you asked this? If you are just curious be more forthcoming and don't use all caps. What's that about anyway. This is not Tiktok. if you have done the research, here is your chance to share it.

Again, it’s a simple question. If you don’t have an answer then please quit trolling this post. You’re of absolutely no help whatsoever.

So you are going to build a new unofficial forum for Resolve? Hmm. With your attitude I'm sure its going to be a smashing hit. So what's the info for anyway? To try to promote your website? Look what was done with resolve, join us! Is that the reason? Because you show no curiosity, only hostility. I can only assume its for marketing reason. But you are free to prove me wrong.

I don’t know how I can possibly state this any simpler:

What well-known television shows, films, etc. are done completely in Resolve? Not just color, but edited, SFX/GFX, audio, etc.

Why do you have such a problem with this?

Drink some sugar water to calm down.

I don't have a problem with that, and I've given honest answer in my original reply. its your attitude that is hostile for not legit reason. That I have a problem with. A genuinely curious person would be thankful for answer and continue researching, asking etc. Participating in civil discourse. Your reaction was not that. If you were genuinely curious you would have done some research and have something to say about it or you would have been more appreciative of response and continue asking with genuine interest. The only kind of person that is acting like you do, is person who has some kind of differnt agenda. If you are indeed genuinely curious than put your ego on ice, lose the hostile attitude and try again. And no caps this time.

pretty much the same answer from my viewpoint, gradeing smaller Studio level features and higher level indie features....

studio level? 15m+ budget? answer is zero, and when it happens you'd have heard about it, loudly and often....

indies <2m? I've seen one film cut, mixed, graded, finished in Resolve, they used 3rd party VFX tools for specfic uses, some in house tool sets and scripting, and the colorist (not me, a friend) used many third party OFX gradeing tools

no idea about series TV, i haven't really see much of that in the last few years, when i do it's cut on Avid, mixed in Protools, finished in Flame, all tool that are rock solid and the choice of expereinced artists that can deliver on tight sched (and TV is always a tight sched).

I’ve said nothing inflammatory or out of line.

Your tone has been consistently antagonistic, and I have no interest in engaging with that. I refuse to wrestle in the mud pit with you.

I won’t be responding to any more of your posts and will leave it at that.

At least you gave an honest and helpful answer. Thank you.

The simple answer is that nobody has any real info on exactly how resolve is used. It's a question without a definitive answer. There are some productions listed on the BMD website but unless a production company explicitly states how Resolve was used in a production we can never really know if it was used exclusively.

If you mean major/visible shows, my guess is None. I also bet that almost no major network/streaming shows are done entirely within Adobe Premiere, or Filmlight's Baselight, or Avid Media Composer.

Editors are permitted to work in a specific platform if that's what they prefer. I see no harm in allowing artists to work with the tools they prefer. I've worked on a thousand projects that were edited in Avid or Premiere or (god forbid) Final Cut Pro or Vegas, then all the sound is mixed & edited in Pro Tools, then all the VFX is done in Nuke or After Effects (and sometimes Fusion), and then we do all the color in Resolve. There's no requirement that everything be done in one program. I think this is one of those cases where just because you can doesn't necessarily mean you should.

I have worked on a few indie features where 90% of it was cut in Resolve and a lot of the effects and titling were done in Fusion, then all of the color was done in Resolve. But we're talking micro-budgeted films.

Resolve's editing tools are a hundred times better now than they were (say) 10 years ago, so we're getting closer in that respect.

Hey
First of all, if you don't want to be bothered by trolls, I found an option to blacklist some forum user in your preferences not to see his messages again; though I'm quite sure it's kind of a negative behavior, I tried it still and it works well

What well-known television shows, films, etc. are done completely in Resolve? Not just color, but edited, SFX/GFX, audio, etc.

I think as others here that no answer is to be found, for no such data clearly exists if no studio announces this info.
But we could bet that under a certain level of production, where everything is on a budget, some projects may start to be done entirely in Resolve, ditto for freelancers of course...
For ads, shorts, doc, reports, ..., I think everything can be gathered and found inside Resole since around 18.6 maybe, but again, these are guesses not based on hard data.

We can see some info about "participation", where you're not to find a % degree, like this for Fusion : https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/produc ... on/credits

In bigger prod. projects, I'm pretty confident nothing is done entirely in one tool (Resolve here) because it has never been made this way before anyway, why would it now actually ?

I knew that Avid MC still was a leader in edit when FCP 7XX tried to grab some market shares 15 years ago, I'm confident it's still one in TV here around me, even if Premiere competes for some reasons Adobe is keen on.
Same for Nuke for compositing, Resolve/Baselight in color grading or ProTools for sound, these are kinds of markers I'm used to.
Also, I know the Flame, Smoke, Maya, Houdini, etc etc etc would share their users base in more technical CGI stuff...

So not one tool to rule them all, again, why would Resolve do now (where those have been used for years) ?

Come on, folks, don't call each other a troll before it's really obvious.
The initial question may have been quite naive, but not aggressive.

Uli, to erase any potential misunderstanding, I gave the OP a hint - which works - in case of he feels bothered, I didn't call him neither troll nor anything else (I wouldn't have answered him otherwise)
