Still broken interlaced Workflows in 17.1.1

PostWed Mar 31, 2021 1:55 pm

Dear Blackmagic-Team,

sadly I have the same problem as with every earlier version of Resolve 17. (Studio for mac)

I try to import a 50i timeline from avid via EDL. It works perfectly with the latest Resolve 16, but in 17.0 and 17.1 and 17.1.1 the following problems occur:

- with Pre-conformed EDL the cuts are at the wrong places. The Timeline from the EDL is marked as 50fps but the imported video as 25fps (both should be 50i / the Clip Attributes of the video say 25 Frames with Upper Field first, the timeline seems to be imported from the EDL with 50p)
- with Scene Cut Detection the cuts are also on the wrong places. No way to change it.

As a workaround I found it works ether of the following:
- importing to a parallel installed Version 16 and exporting the project and importing to Version 17
- setting the project settings to 1080/25p without "Enable interlaced processing" and importing with Pre-Conformed EDL. It creates a progressive Timeline with all the right cuts and I can copy all clips of the timeline in a new timeline without "Use Project Settings" and manually set it up as 50fps with "Enable Interlaced Processing".

These workarounds aren't ideal but it works. But can you please look into it, Blackmagic Design Team?
It's an essential feature for many of us Europeans.

Thank you.
Regards,
Max

Hello,

I have the same problem; I still can't import Avid (2020.12) aaf timeline with the right interlace settings.

My workaround is to import a project that was created in DR16, erase the content and save as.. (no need for a parallel installed Version 16).

No big deal but strange: I just don't see the "Addressed multiple issues with interlaced timelines." at all on my station (DR17 Studio Mac Pro 2019 with Intensity Pro 4K output).

I can't even set the 17 settings manually to match the 16 settings.. And why moving from frames to fields ? It used to simply work..:

Cheers.

17.2 does seem to have fixed things. Everything works like it should again. Thanks for the fast fix, Blackmagic Design-Team! :)
