  • Glad it somehow helps ;) Cheers

  • When my input footage (say 960x720) is different from my timeline settings (say FHD),
    is there a way I can grade without affecting the background (the black gets graded too)?
    or shall I make the project exactly my input's SAR and only letterbox on export (as FHD)?
    if so is there a letterbox option or similar in dadavinci 'deliver' room?

    Thanks folks in advance +)

    The author of the openfx-misc plugins said two days ago on BMD forum that he corrected again his soft and the plugins should now work under Resolve 11.

    Here you have today's build of Natron w/ the plugins for OSX: http://sourceforge.net/projects/natron/files/snapshots/OSXUniversal/repo/

    Hope them work for you :)

  • @czarek thanks for the heads up, you're the best *-)
    I tried to compile from source in several different ways with no result (monkey with hands overflown with peanutbutter pretending to type a telex)... so kind of had given up and started to play with Natron instead, so much potential... alrezdy v2??? three days ago was 1.2.1. In order to keep the topic clean and pure :P, opened a new thread for Natron

     
    Anyway now the plugins work inside davinci =)
     

            misc OFX

     
    There's a 3MB direct download link for (Natron build) DR working just if anybody needing or wanting to play with the bundle doesn't have to download the whole 150 MB package.

  • I'm on Win8 and put the Natron ofx into the OFX folder. They load, but don't work in DR 11. Anyone?

  • @tinyrobot in Josemite (mac) environment almost all plugins are working... but these 3 will merciless crash DRL

    For any other system than OSX I would suggest downloading specific - OS NATRON - from repo and extract the 3 bundles found inside:
    + CImg.ofx.bundle
    + Misc.ofx.bundle
    + IO.ofx.bundle
     
    For win compiling the Devernay's misc_ofx

    As a curio, the Grade ofx allows 1 touch WB set with eye dropper... some useful stuff here =)

     
    PS
    Hope nobody gets offended for such "basic" reminder, but OFX overlay must be turned on +)

  • Created a shadow boost powergrade for the GH3. Should work well for most DSLRs. Example below. I feel that its smoother than Resolve's built in shadows adjustment. Just reduce the keying level to reduce the strength. adjusting the qualifier will yeild much different results as well. You wont see any lift/gamma/gain adjustments because the powergrade was based off of a previous LUT I had made.

    Comparisons:

    Original 100% crop image

    Powergrade 0.5 key 100% crop image

    Powergrade 1.0 key 100% crop image

    Resolve shadows adjustment 50 strength 100% crop image

    Resolve shadows adjustment 100 strength 100% crop image

  • Having some some with titles/animations. Any recommendations for a font that doesnt look cartoonish/playful, but doesnt take itself too seriously?

  • this guy has some cool tutos on DR, check them out

    Also I wanted 2 power windows to use the same tracker points (and only track once), this helped

  • Anyone know a way around the edit page zoom limit of "4.00"? Seems odd to limit the zoom.

  • the other zoom limit (0.25 i.e. 1/4) is, well, limiting too. can't make a title zoom out of a dot....

    edit: actually you can with Size

  • Is there a ready compiled version of Misc OFX plugins for windows that can be copied directly to Windows plugin library to be recognized by Resove 12?

  • I posted this on the Resolve forum, but the few responses I got implied that there is no easy way to do it with tracking points. Perhaps someone here might have an idea:

    "What is the best way to stabilize a long pan or tilt shot that moves a distance greater than the field of view of the shot? In this scenario, if you set some tracking points at the start, you end up losing them all off the screen at some point and the stabilizer/tracker stops. Same thing really for a side-facing dolly shot or running with the camera facing to the side. You quickly lose the original set of reference points. Do you just have to break it up in sections and hope the zoom level matches, or adjust the strength of it by hand?"
