Re: [Avid-L2] How do different New Blue Effects end up linked after promoting Avid Title Tool Effect to New Blue?

John,
Depending on your computer and OS, Titler Pro 7 was early tested by me (I work closely with their team in de-bugging) – and it has a plethora of issues, especially on Mac prior to High Sierra/Sierra, and on Cheese Grater MacPros.

I reverted back to TP ver 6 and found less issues.

We all wish NewBlue FX would bite the bullet and prepare a real, contextual manual that is .pdf searchable, instead of going to their default website.

The issue you have is one of training – NewBlueFX has a "convenient" way to change ALL the related pages in your present project by changing just ONE page.  This is called "SHARE."  When you compose a new title, it defaults to SHARE mode.  Inconsistently, there is a slide tab above the compose window that allows you to flip the current title page you are creating to "UNSHARED."  I do this out of habit to avoid the issue you are going through.

Sometimes, that slide tab does not appear, and you have to go to the left sidebar to try a similar, but different menu: That menu has a pull-down menu that keeps track of each page you save.  You can then reference the CURRENT page you are creating to a previous page, or choose to not link it at all.  This duality in selecting SHARE or UNSHARED pages is confusing, and hopefully was eliminated in TP 7, but that's getting ahead of ourselves.

When you SHARE or link to a previously composed/saved page, you are really saying that the previous file is a TEMPLATE.  So if you create 30 new pages and they all link back to the first page, they are now connected.  Go back and change the font style, color of the root page, and all 29 other pages change.

I hope this helps.

Re: [Avid-L2] Bins sorted by Timeline position?

Paul,

Don't hijack. (Short version, do NOT reply to an existing message and just change the subject. Those of us (nearly all I suspect) have e-mail clients that keeps track of the thread, totally ignoring the subject line for sorting. So, create  new, fresh message and send that to the group.)

To answer: 

What does Decompose do? (Not behind an Avid now)

But I think it's a long shot. And, clips appearing on timeline is not perse the same order as appearing in the show if you edit on multiple tracks

For sound, start of clip could be muted, same goes there.

What are you trying to do?

[Avid-L2] How do different New Blue Effects end up linked after promoting Avid Title Tool Effect to New Blue?

I'm having big issues using the New Blue Titler Pro 7.  I took an avid title tool credit sequence which was very simple cards and promoted them to New Blue.  I experienced the usual formatting issues and was able to correct things.

The problem I'm having that is critical is somehow changing one card in the credits changes other cards in the sequence.  I confirmed if I take one card and duplicate it at the end of the sequence and make a change to the end new blue effect it changes the other new blue effect that I had cut and pasted from.  I can see this might be a feature that would allow for changing a person's ID lower third once and have it change through out the sequence but in my case I want all cards to be individual and unique.  Given all the new blue effects were promotions of Avid Title Tool I would think that that process would create unlinked unique effects for each card but that is not what I'm experiencing.

Also it keeps asking me to save the project in the documents folder before I can save to the timeline.  It also prompts initially do I want to save the title individually or together.  Then it keeps prompting me on later saves that I will be replacing the nbtitle project, or some such message.  Does this have anything to do with how various new blue effects appear to be linked.

I'm very novice in  New Blue but the inability to save a title and have it stick is catastrophic.  Any help would be appreciated as I'm sure I'm just not understanding the workflow of New Blue.

Re: [Avid-L2] HDR Nit Level project vs. adapter vs. monitor?

I'm not sure about the AJA. I assume it is injecting the metadata needed that you manually set, but it should match the original signal format. The Hi5 is not doing tone mapping. I am only assuming since I don't use that device. The AJA FS-HDR can tone map for $8K.

Resolve can be configured to output tone mapped signal using the second SDI out of your BM/Avid Device. This is not a "stereo" output a la 3D. Your project settings dictate the primary SDI. The second out is based on the iCMU settings (Dolby Vision tab in the Color page). Both are full resolution.

PROJECT SETTINGS > MASTER SETTINGS > VIDEO MONITORING > USE DUAL OUTPUT ON SDI

Note this will not work with 4K/UHD projects. You will need the Decklink 8K.

I guess the core of my question is how the aja control panel settings are designed.  If I choose 2084 600 Nits in the aja control panel while feeding 1000 Nits from the DNxIO Resolve output to the Hi5 HDMI converter is the aja Hi5 4K Plus going to tone map the HDMI output to 600 Nits.

Also I'm not sure what you mean by the Resolve Dolby timeline (SDI 2)?  Is there a difference between SDI 1 and SDI 2 on my DNxIO outputs.  I found while setting up  the fake stereo project to spit HDR out one eye and SDR out the other eye that the DNxIO outputs were not top row vs bottom row but spigot 1 was left eye and spigot 2 was right eye when in HD mode. 

So many little details along the way that seem like they should be much more straight forward but that's probably my lack of experience in this arena.

Re: [Avid-L2] HDR Nit Level project vs. adapter vs. monitor?

If you feed the LG C9 with 1000 nits from Resolve + AJA, you will see clipping and/or posterization. This is fine if you are looking at what 1000 nit will look like to a < 1000 nit monitor. 

If you feed the AJA the tone map 600 output of your Resolve Dolby timeline (SDI 2), you should see what a Dolby processor would look like if you master at 1000 but mapped to 600.

I have the Aja Hi5 4K Plus to convert SDI to HDMI and turn on the HDR flag.  The control panel for the Aja also has choices of 1000 Nits and 600 Nits.  I know the unit works and sets the HDR flag when set to 2084 mode and will trigger HLG when is is set to HLG.  I know the delivery spec for HDR typically is 1000 Nits for Netflix and I assume other networks etc... 

My question is is the Hi5 4K Plus in essence tunneling into the LG OLED and telling the monitor the signal is 1000 Nits or 600 Nits based on the control panel settings?  I know it turns on the HDR mode and it seems to work but I don't quite understand what is going on under the hood.  Usually tunneling happens with a eCMU hardware unit but now with the right Black Magic hardware I/O, "Ultra Studio 3 Extreme and a card version", Resolve can tunnel with it's own iCMU.

So is the Hi5 4K Plus tunneling in the traditional sense I've been told which means it is talking to the Dolby Chip inside the LG OLED or is it just turning on the HDR/HLG mode?   Given the delivery spec is 1000 Nits it seems the project should always be in 1000 Nit mode but what about the Hi 5 adapter should it be set to the destination monitor capabilities, in this case 600 Nits, or set to 1000 Nits to reflect the actual source signal coming into the adapter?

Just spinning in my head and I'm trying to suss this out.

Re: [Avid-L2] Connecting a Thunderbolt 3 Drive enclosure to a USB 3.0 PCIe card?

Greg is correct.  Thunderbolt has to be enabled on the motherboard and a CPU to get TBolt speeds and even just a connection.  You can't just 'upconvert adapt' to it, otherwise tons of adaptors would have come out since 2015.

And a cheap solution to get old MacPro cheesegrators is via a MacMini that has a TBolt port, albeit it may be TBolt 1 or 2, not 3.  

Now, once a unit has TBolt, using a bi-directional "adapter" to go to USB 3, eSata-III, is easily possible.

But you can't build a box/adapter with TBolt to go into any CPU that was not natively built for it.

You can't put thunderbolt into usb.  Mac uses the usb 3.1 connector for thunderbolt 3- I got a bi-directional adapter from Apple that connects thunderbolt 2 to t-bolt 3, but aside from that, I think you're out of luck.

How about a Mac mini and some gigE ??  ;-)

The folder name should be "OMFI MediaFiles".  It should be at the root level of the media drive volume.  There cannot be any sub-folders inside of it.  The recommended max file count is 5,000.

Subject: [Avid-L2] OLD project/footage in new software.

 

Hi all,

I've been away from MC for a while and need to play with a sequence from a very old project (MC 5 or 4). I created a new project in the latest version and imported all my old bins and sequences but the sequence and footage files aren't linking. The old footage were omfi files. Is there something that I would need to do to have the project recognize and link back to those old files? Is there a file folder structure that I need to follow? Again, been away for a while and I'm slowly getting reacquainted with the software. Thank you so much for any guidance!

Re: [Avid-L2] Connecting a Thunderbolt 3 Drive enclosure to a USB 3.0 PCIe card?

John,

It will not work - at all.

Your only hope is to connect this drive to another computer which has Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt on Mac is a motherboard-only proposition. If your Mac does not have Thunderbolt built in to the motherboard, you do not have Thunderbolt, period.

If the drive supports both Thunderbolt and USB, then you could use a USB adaptor. This might be possible - read the manual on the drive to find out.

Well before you do all that, just make a new user with everything at default and see if it works.

You can't put thunderbolt into usb.  Mac uses the usb 3.1 connector for thunderbolt 3- I got a bi-directional adapter from Apple that connects thunderbolt 2 to t-bolt 3, but aside from that, I think you're out of luck.

Re: [Avid-L2] Connecting a Thunderbolt 3 Drive enclosure to a USB 3.0 PCIe card?

That adapter is strictly USB protocol, from USB-C to USB-A. It will not allow you to interface with a thunderbolt device. I think the biggest confusion you are having which many people come across, is that USB-C and thunderbolt 3 have the same connector type but they are both two entirely different protocols for transferring information.  

If your ex ternal Drive is a USB-C device then that adapter will work just fine to transfer to the USB-A port on your Mac Pro tower. 

If your drive is truly a thunderbolt 3 device then I'm afraid there's no chance it will ever interface with a USB-A or USB-C protocol because they are two entirely different formats, even if the connector for thunderbolt three and USB-C looks the same. Thunderbolt three is it's own thing which also happens to have USB see functionality added into it as a bonus so to speak. But USBC or USBA are not capable of communicating via the thunderbolt protocol. 

I hope this makes sense. Unfortunately confuses a lot of people and for good reason, I mean the connector is identical. It's like thunderbolt 2 and mini display port. Same connector but mini display port does not actually transfer using the thunderbolt protocol, but Thunderbolt 2 has mini display port functionality added as a sweet bonus.
