Essential The Official Photography Thread

Can't wait to try this... how is sequencing clips/footage in this? Right now, I'm used to Vegas Pro and it's a breeze just piecing the shyt together compared to Premiere, but I feel limited when I go to color grade with Vegas

It's pretty straightforward, the basic tools (track select forward/chop/select/etc.) are pretty much the same as any NLE. Some things I definitely like better about Resolve over premiere is their multi cam editing workflow, it's very intuitive and user friendly. I still use premiere for a lot of projects though simply because on projects where there's more than one editor, adobe is by far the most common editing choice. Also, premiere's interplay with media encoder and AE makes creating proxies, transcoding, prerendering, keying and etc. fairly simple to do w/o having to constantly export EDLs and XMLs.

If you're not doing significant post effects work, green screen work or motion graphics work then I'd definitely go with Resolve.

I tried it today for a project I shot today. I'll have to mess with it when I have more time to dig into it. I'm chopping up a interview/documentary type style video, and I'm just used to the workflow on Vegas, so I just cracked that open... I don't have much time this weekend to do this so I wanted to get the bulk of it done tonight, I'm def going to use Resolve tho, I don't have anything else on my Macbook at the moment

Worked on a interview/documentary style project with a friend of mine last Friday. Put together the sequencing and audio syncing Friday night, then I went and did the color correction Saturday... was completely done, til I go to render it



Vegas Pro 12 was telling me the shyt would take like 16 to 20 hours. So I cancelled it like, I gotta find some other way. Looked in to some various techniques for exporting the sequence files in either XML, Premiere Pro project file, AAF etc to bring over into Resolve or Premiere... hell whatever brought my timeline over was going to be what I was using because I didn't even trust letting some shyt render for 20 hours.

I tried Resolve first, and the timeline was broken. Wasn't importing the sequence at all, I flattened it and everything, but instead of it displaying the chopped up clips, it would put the entire clip's footage in the timeline, so the audio was all fukked up. So after doing that a few times, I was like, man fukk it, I'm a just let this shyt render over night and go from there.

Let it render from Sunday to Monday morning, wake up and the shyt says it's completed... but there's also an error message. Go to the video's location and the video doesn't play at all.

....

16 hour render time too.

At that point, I said fukk it, let me try Premiere again. Was able to import the timeline fine, but all the color edits didn't transfer, so I had to start doing that from scratch. Which isn't too bad, cause once I finish one scene I could apply the settings to the others. Was making progress, had redid most of the clips, then I get to the last set a clips that needed color correction and I get hit with a "Media Pending" message on it...



I couldn't even see the video to apply any edits to it. I googled the issue online and saw that others have had this happen as well, but they all had different solutions for it so I was lost as fukk. I was literally on the last crop of videos to modify before being done with this shyt. SOOO then I was like let me sign up for the trial version of the latest copy of Vegas Pro just so I could drop the .veg file in there and render this shyt. Register for their site, wait for the trial code, and it never comes. It's hours later today and they still ain't send shyt.

Luckily, I had an older project file saved prior to the Media Pending bullshyt so I just reverted to that and had to REDO all the video effects for now the 3rd time.

Finally finished all that shyt last night, rendered it over night again, wake up this time and the video plays, but there's no audio



What a weekend...

Dont you have a mac?
The render times on final cut pro are great.
MAgnetic timeline is a pain though. I've gotten used to it little by little.

Yeah roundtripping btwn NLEs ain't a perfect science even in 2018.

That being said, my round trip workflow is typically premiere for picture editing --> resolve for color grading --> premiere for final titles & any AE work

 

[NerdNash]

I need more gems on editing. Y’all put presets/filters on (ex VSCO) before y’all edit the contrast/etc or after?

Also.. what apps y’all use for editing ?

Yup, I got a crash course into Roundtripping this weekend


Some aspects had me like , but when stuff would break and just not port over smooth I was like wtf.

I have been hesitant to mess with Premiere because I was used to simple everything is in Vegas for me. So honestly, I might do the sequencing and all that for rough edits in Vegas, and then bring it over to Resolve once I really get into it. I love working on color with video, really taps into my roots of photo processing with images for all these years and makes the content pop and come to life. Plus... Resolve is on my Macbook which is fresher than my desktop which is giving me long ass render times. That's the plan right now.

In your experience, is Premiere your go to when it comes to rendering/exporting?

Yeah, I do, but the only video editing software I have at the moment is Resolve, but I'll have to try Final Cut out as well.

I do a lot of traveling due to work and recently got my hands on a Nikon D5600. I decided to start taking it on the road with me and snap pics mainly of the landscape. I think its about time I purchase another lens and I was looking at the 35mm 1.8 nikkor. Will that lens suffice for what I'm trying to shoot?

You might want to go even wider if you're really into landscapes. 35mm is a good versatile lens, that does well in many scenarios, but go wider if you really love landscape photos

Thanks for the info.

Typically I export in premiere but at times I run into glitches, at that point I render the timeline directly from Media Encoder which is essentially what premiere uses to export e.g. in a more simplified form.

And c/s the photo coloring experience transferring over to video color correction, that's what I enjoy about davinci. It simply has the intuitiveness of grading raw files in photoshop or an equivalent camera raw editor.

Canon EOS-R stuff is out.



$2300 for the body. Single sd-card slot. But that flip out screen could be the thing that sells me.
