adjustment clips timeline and possible bug?

PostTue Apr 13, 2021 8:46 am

Hi,

I have recently discovered adjustment clips and find it unbelievable powerful!
So now I use them all the time.
I have noticed one thing though. If I edit my adjustment clip with fusion, so as to apply whatever fusion setting I want to the clip underneath, my fusion timeline starts at 90 000.

Well, I am on a 25 frames/s, so 90 000/ 25 = 3 600. It means it starts at 1 hour.

I suppose this 1h shift has to deal with the 1h shift that is already in the timecode...
(Personally I have removed this shift through the preference options. So my timelines all start at 0).

It could seem of no importance, indeed, if I want an effect to appear after 10 frames, I just set a key at 90 010 and it does work.

BUT:

I have many timecodes that I initially edited in a fusion composition. And the fusion composition timeline starts at 0.
So the key that was set at frame 10 in the fusion composition now does not show up in my adjustment clip because it is located way before the beginning....
One solution to overcome that is to go in the edit timeline, put the adjustment clip at 1h, drag the beginning of the adjustment clip down to 0, and adjust the length by now dragging the end of the clip. Indeed it works and I can see my keys again once I am back in fusion.... but.. come on.... That is not very productive if I have to do it all the time.

Is it a bug from davinci? or is there a proper workaround, like a setting or something?

Thanks.

This is a known bug that has been around since Adjustment Clips first was added. There is a workaround which I detail in this video.

RTX-3060 12 GB | Resolve Studio 18.6.6| Fusion Studio 18.6.6

Thanks xunile for your quick reply and taking the time to make a video for others. and yeah, your workaround is a lot faster than mine!

I had just found this had already been discussed in a previous topic to which you replied and was about to link it here. I should have searched the forum a bit more first.

Thanks!
