CHANGE THE FRAMERATE OF RESOLVE'S TIMELINE AFTER CREATION

 
It happens... to the best and manliest of ranging dudes, and if one has been working on a long project could turn into a nasty PITA. BlackMagic's user vasikgreif found a cumbersome yet useful way of doing this:

You need to go to your Resolve projects directory (here it's C:\Program Data\Blackmagic Design\Support\Resolve Disk Database\Resolve Projects\), and open the project directory.You'll see a bunch of folders and xml files. Now, you need to edit the XML files and search for some strings and replace these with some other values:

 
I found mine (OSX) under /Library/Application\ Support/Blackmagic\ Design/DaVinci\
Resolve/Resolve\ Disk\ Database/Resolve\ Projects/Users/panfilo/Projects/greitname
 
and there, were actually 3 xml files that needed tampering: the project one, the config one and the long alphanumerical one. It might be obvious but most text/code editors have a search & replace or find & replace funtionality which in a conjuncture such as this become handy.
 
Attaching a screengrab as I'm unable to parse some symbols through MD.

 
Then It's maybe a good idea not to extend the project's wraping and export the opium blast ASAP. Resolve needs to access (and modify) the xml files too, so it's possible that it can change its properties on its next launch... you can also leave the xmls open as long as you're still working in DR.

 
Finally before launching fireworks and kissing the turtle, double check that TL's framerate and project's framerate are same: e.g. {putting sesame st costume} WRONG
 

 
RIGHT!

thanks to vasikgreif

@caveport you're absolutelly right, the Luis XiV kind of absolute. I was a bit... reticent to go into yet another platform (never used fusion before) but to my surprise the roundtrip DR - fusion is pretty straight forward and flexible enough. Also the guts of fusion look very like natron, nuke and the sort; so no sweat there. Being fusion for free seals the deal. Big thank you matte =)

 
For those interested, here's how to you send (render) a composite to fusion
 

 
And how you update (after render) in resolve
 

 
The node shape of the process
 

Hi there pips =)

I've been trying to achieve somethin' within resolve with no good luck, maybe the cracks of the colour walls can help me out. I believe it would be easier if I explain how I already achieved this (more or less simple) effect in After Effects. So 4 layers, top to bottom layer 1 and 3 is the same and I'm using it as a matte for layer 2 and 4. Layer 1 is a luma matte, layer 3 a luma inverted. So to have and image which high lights are formed from one layer and its darks are formed from Trump followers, I mean from another layer. Result
 
In resolve I only managed to achieve this with one of the (compunded) layers and an alpha output
 

 
I'm aware I could export the matte from AE and then import and composite it inside DR with a matte node, but I would like to be able do the whole shibang and grade within same platform, you know lazyness is motor of long toe nails and most incredible achievements :P

Thanks in advance

@derek, there are 2 versions: The Free and Studio versions. Also, some of Resolves OFX plug-ins I think you'll have to pay (to get the Studio version, I think) and will get the watermark.

Well, may be you downloaded full version?

I have been playing around with new ResolveFX effects and I'm impressed. I can really use these. It seems that I don't necessarily need to open After Effects. I find at least these useful: Lens Blur, Lens Flare, Glow, Prism Blur, Scanlines, Mirrors, Film Grain, Dent. And the performance for most plugins is impressive when compared to same operation in AE.

(I believe PR doesn't even have curves for remapping)

It does, but it is very small :)

I haven't noticed in earlier versions of Resolve that when you select dual monitor workspace setup, now you can select which monitor is primary. That is a great thing IMO when you have calibrated second monitor and you of course want to playback fullscreen from Resolve on it without dedicated I/O hardware (like in Premiere).

But, when CMD+F it shows the full screen viewer to the other monitor, I mean the first one, ummm, the one that is system default first monitor. I haven't find a way to change this in settings. With all this 'power to the masses' attitude they could've finally make me not buy the Decklink.
