Re: [Avid-L2] BM Resolve as offline editor replacing Media Composer

Many of the items in your list have been greatly improved in Resolve v17, but that is not near a master release. In v16 and below, I don't see how anyone could trust it for as robust a workflow in multicam as MC, and even when 17 drops officially, it still needs to be kicked around before it'd pass. But yes, sync maps , AAF exports, etc. look great in v17. 

In my house, I am a finishing editor working closely with a colorist, and we're in collaboration on Resolve v16. It works fantastically for our uses, but this is far from what your purpose is. Project sharing is a snap but could be faster to negotiate. We make up for it with the sheer speed we can operate together on the same timeline at the same time. Resolve has worked out a lot of potential issues with read/write and locking between an editor and a colorist - I can vouch for that part. But even I don't think I'd be nearly as comfortable setting up and cutting multicam in Resolve. They are getting there, and the eventuality of so much being able to be accomplished under one hood is why I'm staying sharp with Resolve.

MC's updates are nothing to roll our eyes at though. They're doing everything they can to stay relevant in this field.

Jeff –

 

I don't know of any one actually doing this…but, EditShare just released a Resolve panel so there must be ways to share.

Subject: [Avid-L2] BM Resolve as offline editor replacing Media Composer

 

A friend of mine is asking me my thoughts about this the concept of Resolve replacing MC for a Multi cam double system sound reality show environment.

My immediate thought is that this is an insane terrible idea, notwithstanding that to retrain editors is a mountain of a task. (I believe most would rebel and quit having to change)

They said the reason is that resolve is cheaper (terrible reason)

· I already see issues with

· Sync Maps, 

· Multigroups

· Basic Editorial Speed

· Protools aaf export

· simplicity of search

· Training

· Shared storage

· Cloud future.

 

And the list goes on.

 

Has anyone successfully seen resolve work in a multi-editor offline environment.

Any other thoughts are appreciated.
