![]() ![]() in FCP X, and in case any of that didn’t translate properly to Resolve, I wanted to know I could output a full 4K ProRes 4444 data master straight out of FCP X that could later be brought into Resolve to be colored. I knew I’d likely be using a lot of compound clips, some speed adjustments, transitions, etc. I also wanted to hedge against any potential workflow issues that could have come up when round tripping back to DaVinci Resolve. Hard drive space wasn’t an issue for me (nor was performance), and I wanted to have the full 4444 clips living in FCP X in case I wanted to experiment with any color grading ideas during the picture edit. I converted the RAW files to ProRes 4444, not LT or Proxy as most workflows would call for. The plan was quite typical workflow-wise, with one important distinction… The film was shot entirely in RAW on the Blackmagic URSA Mini 4.6K, so I decided I would ingest the RAW files into Resolve, convert them to ProRes for editing in FCP X, and re-link the FCP X edit to the RAW files in Resolve later on, during the color correction phase. I hadn’t yet edited any other long form projects on Resolve, and at the time I didn’t have the same shorthand that I did with FCP X. I love Resolve and certainly could have cut this entire film on the software (in fact, I even started cutting the first few scenes in Resolve), but ultimately realized I could work faster on FCP X. ![]() ![]() While I initially intended to edit the feature in DaVinci Resolve, for a number of reasons I decided to cut it in FCP X. If you’re interested in hearing about my offline editing workflow and why I decided to lock picture reel by reel, be sure to check out this article here. It includes color correction, stabilization, noise reduction, and audio mixing amongst other things.īelow I’m going to break down each of the finishing stages that the film went through, and why I chose to take an unconventional path in some respects. I’ll have some big news about the film’s release very soon (and the full trailer!), but for now I want to take a moment to share my finishing workflow, which was quite unique.įor those of you that aren’t as familiar with the terminology, finishing is essentially everything that happens after the picture edit is locked. Over the past few weeks I’ve been working tirelessly on the finishing work for my feature film Shadows On The Road. ![]()
