Addition of Easing Functions..

Hello all,

I would be great if there is addition of easing function of keyframes.. in-built.. Currently there are many third-party tools for fusion, but would be great to use these in within the Edit & Color Page as well...

They don't even need to look outside of Resolve for more easing curves... Resolve already has Sine, Quad, Cubic, Quart, Quint, Expo, Circ, Back, Elastic, and Bounce for AnimCurves in Fusion. All they'd need to do is copy these curves and add them as options for keyframes/splines and for fades/crossfades (with exceptions for the bouncing curves). All the math/code is done already, just copy-paste and go from there.

Ah, never knew some of them were included in fusion!.. its a long time since I actively used Fusion...

Yes this would be cool addition to have in Edit Page and Color Page as well...

Not certain I follow, but we can add Easing to keyframes on the Edit page via the Inspector.

And it works very well now in version 20.

All of those curve options are only available through the AnimCurves modifier. Right-click a parameter and choose "Modify with AnimCurves", then set Curve to "Easing" and then you have all of those options for easing in/out. In Fusion's spline editor you only get Linear, Quad and Cubic for easing keyframes and nothing else. So technically these easing shapes are already available inside of Resolve, but it's extremely limited in how you can use them.

I feel like I say this every single time I talk about any feature in Resolve, but this is yet another example of Blackmagic implementing features to the absolute bare minimum and then moving on to something else without finishing what they started. I wish they'd stop doing this. I would rather have 100 completed and well implemented features than 1000's of half-baked features that are barely usable at best.

They mean having multiple curve options for easing and this is from the website they posted to illustrate what they are asking for.

These options are only available via AnimCurves modifier in Fusion, but they are nowhere else inside of Resolve.

There is only one easing curve shape via the Inspector. And depending on where you set keyframe easing (Edit page inspector, Edit page spline editor, or Fusion spline editor) you get completely different results. This is yet another example of Resolve having no consistency between pages or even on the same page since the Edit page also gives two different results. I brought this up in my thread about the new keyframe/spline editors and I included screenshots of the curves showing how they are all different:

I strongly disagree. Nothing has changed for easing keyframes via the Inspector, it's exactly the same as before. Regarding the new keyframe/spline editors, this was the one feature that I was truly excited about when the beta first came out so I spent the vast majority of my time in V20 with these new editors, but unfortunately they are still terrible. Everything in the thread I mentioned above was only from my testing in Beta 1, I have found plenty more since then but I gave up updating my thread which I explained in the thread.

The new editors COULD have been done very well, I wanted them to be done well, but they just weren't done well.

This is my current statement about Blackmagic when people ask me about switching. I say that it's fine but Blackmagic has a bad habit of making new features 90% complete and then dropping the ball.

It's janky software and as you said, they create a new feature and do the bare minimum to check it off the list. No thought about consistency. No thought about functionality. No thought about keyboard shortcuts. Just the least amount of work possible to put it on the feature list. The new spline editor is just the latest in a long line since they bought Fusion over ten years ago.

It takes us complaining about things for years before they impliment the smallest of feature fixes. Honestly I'm shocked that they added Deep Compositing but in the mean time, you still can't use animated textures or normal inputs into a USD workflow. Like I said, %90 complete.

Yes, that is exactly how I feel. From the first moment I started using Resolve I've had a very strong love/hate relationship with it. I've felt that the quality of the tools themselves (visual effects, tracking, masking, coloring, etc.) are really good (with some exceptions, mostly on the audio side) but how these tools have been implemented is terrible and many features I want to use are unusable for me. The new keyframe/spline editors might be the most frustrating example of this yet because keyframing on the Edit page has been a massive headache for me and these new editors gave the illusion of fixing my problems, but ultimately did not.

It is extremely rare for anything in Resolve to work the way I want, and even a couple of the things that used to work well for me have been broken over the past couple versions (V19 and V20) and have still not been fixed. Resolve only seems to be getting worse for me and not better.

Yep, I've tried bringing my issues up here on the forum but since Blackmagic won't address them, I'm taking my complaints about the new keyframe/spline editors to every single Resolve youtube channel I can find. We need more attention on these issues otherwise Blackmagic will continue to ignore them, so I will do what I can to bring attention to them.
