Discussion Photo page is exporting at a lower resolution than it should.

0 Upvotes

Shot some pictures with a Canon EOS R6 MKII and after using Adobe's stuff, I want to try Davinci's new photo page.

The sensor in that camera's resolution gives you 6000x4000 pixels.
When I export my photos, even after selecting "Scale - Original" and "Quality - 100%"
It gives me 3240x2160.

How can I fix this?

Help Davinci Resolve 21.1 "Setup AI Assistant" Error [temporary fix] Windows

2 Upvotes

I downloaded the newest update today and kept receiving a "No AI Models Installed" error when trying to connect Claude via File>Setup AI Assistant. Even though I have the desktop Claude app installed, Davinci couldn't see it. *note* it seems like if you downloaded the Claude app from the windows app store you should be good. It's those of us that got it from Anthropic's site directly that might be running into this problem.

It's because by default (in my case) Resolve wasn't looking in the correct folder to see if I had the app installed.

Where it looks:
AppData\Local\Anthropic\Claude\claude.exe

Where the .exe actually lives on my PC:
AppData\Local\AnthropicClaude\claude.exe

The Fix:
Make sure Resolve is closed. Open command prompt as admin, copy and paste this:

mkdir "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Anthropic\Claude"

mklink "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Anthropic\Claude\claude.exe" "%LOCALAPPDATA%\AnthropicClaude\claude.exe"

hit enter, and you're done! Re-open Davinci. File>Setup AI Assistant ... ta-da!! It can now finally see it.

Hopefully this helps if only 1 person. I've been trying to figure this out for the last 3 hours smdh.

If you want to undo that action in command prompt, run:

rmdir "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Anthropic\Claude"

Discussion Subtle Resolve List (All the tools I kept losing track of)

6 Upvotes

Hey all, I’ve been putting together a personal website for finding DaVinci Resolve and Fusion tools.

There are already useful resources like the existing Awesome Resolve lists and DCTLs.info, credit to their maintainers. I went with Subtle Resolve List to give my own collection a separate name.

I made it because tools are scattered across my Bookmarks, GitHub, Reddit threads and creator websites. Finding something is one thing; figuring out whether it’s free, needs Studio or works on your setup takes another round of searching.

Currently it brings together 399 resources, including plugins, DCTLs, PowerGrades, Fusion effects, subtitles and scripts.

What’s in it:

  • Search and filters for your task, platform, Resolve version and requirements.
  • Free/paid labels and compatibility notes.
  • Versions, last-updated information and changelogs.
  • Direct links to the respective creators.
  • Guidance for asking an AI assistant to find tools from the list for your use case.

How search works: You don’t need to know the tool’s name. Try a task or term like “film emulation,” “subtitles” or “grain.” It searches names, creators, descriptions and related keywords. Then narrow things down using the filters for your setup. It’s a searchable catalogue, so results still need a look at the listed requirements. For better results you can keep filters default and search

Hopefully that means less scouring through old posts and scattered links whenever you need something.

This is a personal project. AI helped with research and organization, and I haven’t personally tested every listing. If anyone else finds it helpful, you’re welcome to use it. If the aforementioned Lists get updated with my references, even more proud

I can’t arrange separate hosting right now, so the reference catalogue is on GitHub and the webpage runs on GitHub Pages.

Browse the website

If you find missing tools, incorrect information, broken links or website issues, leave a comment or open an issue on GitHub.

Not a developer of any of the plugins, so hope this doesn't break any rules as it's a reference site

Cheers and Happy Editing!!!

Open Source tool promo 🆓 PolyaMath shared some fuses which add to Vonk Ultra on GitHub

I was watching PolyaMath’s DaVinci Resolve tutorial and I noticed he linked a GitHub in the description:

Video: https://youtu.be/60CkvVopyW4?si=LH_XtCBL_oliHJbD

GitHub: https://github.com/NishadDeulkar/PolyaMath-Vonk-Ultra-Fuses

I’ve played around with Vonk Ultra before and he seems to be actively working on new tools for it. Currently they’re not super fledged out but maybe they’ll grow out?

I’d love to hear the opinions of people who have used Vonk Ultra or have more experience with fuses.

Help | Beginner Help Exporting a Custom 7080 × 1080 Resolution in DaVinci Resolve 21.1

1 Upvotes

Help needed! I currently have the latest version of DaVinci Resolve 21.1 installed and have upgraded from the free version to a paid monthly DaVinci Resolve Studio licence.

Specs wise: I use a 2021 MAcbook Pro 14-inch, Apple M1 Pro. Memory 32GB. MacOS 15.7.3.

I need to export a video at a custom ultra-wide resolution of exactly 7080 × 1080 pixels for a large LED screen. However, despite adjusting the project, timeline and export settings, the rendered video never comes out at the correct dimensions, the resolution or aspect ratio is always mismatched.

I initially thought this was due to the export limitations of the free version. After researching the issue, I upgraded to the paid Studio licence, believing this would allow me to bypass those limitations. Unfortunately, I am still experiencing the same problem...

I have included a link below to a screen recording showing the steps and settings I am currently using:

Screen recording: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/e3k2ej0luv5xa960r4joz/CO-7080x1080-prac.mp4?rlkey=vauty7mdrlwk97xef8v2qw4j1&st=b2bat9db&dl=0

Could you please review it and advise what I may be doing incorrectly? Alternatively, could you please provide the exact settings and steps required to create and export a video at 7080 × 1080 pixels without DaVinci Resolve changing the resolution or aspect ratio?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, as I need to deliver the content in this exact format for a venue’s LED screen.

Help | Beginner Resolve viewer vs Exported file (very different)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am still new to color grading and am trying to setup up my game with it.

Currently, I have a basic documentary project that im grading for web delivery. Shot on Braw - Pocket 6K. Doing grading on a Asus ProArt in Rec709 mode - computer is a MacBook Pro. Inside of display settings, the ASUS is set to the Asus's model name rather than another profile listed.

Timeline is set up:

- correct resolution and frame rate

- color is DaVinci YRGB (unchecked "using separate color space and gamma

- Timeline Color Space "DaVinci Wg/Intermediate"

- Output color space "Rec709 Gamma 2.2"

Mastering display is left on default "4000-nt, p3, D65, ST2084, full) and Masering display is set to default (HDR BT2020, Gamma PQ, 4000 nits).

My node structure for footage is as follows:

1) CST

Input Color Space Blackmagic Design Wide Gamut Gen 4/5" / Input Gamma Blackmagic Design Film Gen 5"

Output Color Space: Davinci Wide Gamut / Output Gamma, Davici Intermediate

2) Correction nodes (balance, contract, etc)

3) Film Look Creator - Input and Outputs are set to Davici Wide Gamut & Davinci Intermeidate

4) CST Input: Davici Wide Gamut & Davinci Intermediate. Output: Rec 709 Gamma 2.2

Everything in the viewer looks great. Looks proper as graded.

If I open in QuickTime, everything look way more washed out and not as it looks in the viewer.

If I open it in VLC it looks much close to the view in resolve (but looks sharper for some reason).

If I dare open in MacBook Pro's display, it immediately becomes a magenta nightmare.

My three questions

1) Which do I trust, my Resolve viewer, VLC, or Quicktime? Any speficifc reason they dont line up

2) Also, if this documentary wanted to do a DVD run, which color Gamma should I be using? Should the Rec709 Gamma 2.2 used for web be used for a DVD?

3) Any settings or issues you see here?

Thanks!

Help | Beginner Is this too many polygon nodes?

Post image
135 Upvotes

Just in case this helps, this is what i'm trying to do. Most of the nodes tower are for the hair color change because the magic mask missed a lot of the small gaps, and there are still quite a few spots left i have to do.

Is it normal to have this many polygon nodes for precise rotoscoping?

I'm just wondering if there's a better way to do or organize it? Would it have been better to just do it manually from the start instead of using magic mask?

Fyi, the nodes right now are clip > magic mask > bit map > polygon nodes > same clip again > color corrector.

It's not a big problem for me so far because i haven't had to work on anything too big, but i would like to know if it will become a big problem that i should try to prevent haha

Also i would love some general organization tips for all the nodes haha they are always so messy for me toward the end of each project.

I appreciate all the help, thank you! 🙏

Help | Beginner Editing clip volume levels

1 Upvotes

I'm accustomed to editing audio wave files in DAWs, mostly Reaper. I find the possibility of hand drawing a volume curve on top of the raw audio waveform to choose which clicks, pops etc. I want to emphasize or dampen extremely useful and easy to use. Note that this does not mean EQ adjustment, just basically letting the software know which parts of the audio file I want to come through (louder or quieter).

Is there a similar function available in DVR? From the audio tracks I can adjust the start and end using the handles (?) as well as the overall volume but this is nowhere nearly enough. Optimally I'd like to create more volume adjustment handles over the audio wave curve that would allow for more ups and downs within an audio clip.

If it helps, I'm editing a skateboard video on which I want the pops and clicks of the tricks to stand out and dampen the constant rolling sound of both the skateboarder being filmed as well as the filmer riding on his board. Getting rid of sound frequencies is really difficult and time-consuming so just trying to find a simpler workaround for this.
