Boards Comment – Resolve 12 rendering progressive as interlaced

Thanks again.

MediaInfoXP is saying both the input and output (i.e. post Resolve) files are progressive, so it looks like Vegas is where the problem is, as that's identifying the rendered footage as interlaced.

Boards Comment – Resolve 12 rendering progressive as interlaced

Tiny update:

The best work-around I have so far is to take the files Resolve produces, transcode them back to 1080p 25fps progressive using mpeg Streamclip, then I get a 1080p 25fps progressive file. Worst case scenario is I grade in Resolve, export and then batch process all those files. Just seems a bit redundant...

Boards Comment – Resolve 12 rendering progressive as interlaced

Hi Cary,

Thanks for replying.

I've tried creating a new project with 25p, 1080 settings, and all seems fine - when I import the footage it doesn't throw out the 'mismatched media' warning so I assume it's all good - until I come to render it and the resulting file is interlaced. I have tried exporting in other formats - MPEG-4, AVI - it's still treating the footage as if it's interlaced. I think if anything the problem is Resolve interpreting the footage as interlaced to begin with for some reason.

I'll keep plugging away...

Cheers,

Jon

Boards Comment – Does Anyone Have a Short Film Idea?

Couple of things:

1. Try reaching out to writer-specific FB groups and chatrooms. DoneDealPro is a fairly good, well-intentioned site for writers and they run periodic short script competitions, with all entries online so you can read them and contact the writers directly if you're interested.

2. However... You really need to sell yourself as a potential filmmaker - don't underestimate how much work goes into writing a decent short script. If you expect writers to give that up for little or no money, you need to be better at explaining why you are uniquely gifted to bring their words to life. Years ago I sold a short script that I loved, only to see it completely f**ked up by a director who just didn't get it. And now it's gone - wasted. So writers may be (rightly) wary of just handing over a script to anyone.

3. If you want to try writing yourself but can't come up with ideas - watch shorts, read short stories and poems. Re: short stories, try Raymond Carver, more recently Simon Rich. If you're in to horror read some MR James stories.

All the best.

J.

Article Comment – 'Here Alone': Post-Apocalyptic DIY Flick Wins Audience Award at Tribeca [PODCAST]

It's a shame this has been buried by all the NAB stuff, because this is a fantastic podcast. Detailed, in-depth and generous, this will definitely be something I listen to a few times.

I also think you guys have a really admirable attitude re: sharing knowledge and experience. I think this is something you could capitalise on once the film is available to buy - I don't know if you followed what Joshua Caldwell did with Layover, but he clearly marketed that film to other filmmakers, chucking in a load of BTS stuff so even if you weren't a fan of the film it was still useful as a guide to making something with very little. If later along the line you guys decide to do that it's definitely something people will be interested in.

All the best with the film.
