Re: Finally making switch from Color - First big Epic job with little turnaround time

Thank you for the responses guys.

Unfortunately it seems we will only have one system to use in that 10 day period and we are hoping it is less than 130 hours that was like worst case scenario but still being prepared is better in the long run. Also hoping to not have to go back to the r3d's and instead will already have ProRes4444 1080 transcoded quicktimes to grade with - in that case we might not even use Resolve if Color will do...i digress.

Just to clarify about Debayer Illya you mention "Full res debayer resize" - does that mean highest quality w/ 1080 resizing? sorry i am totally new to this Epic stuff & Resolve.

Also another question about what you said "two Resolve systems and then rent a couple Rocket cards. One system for color and the other strictly for transcoding" as far as we know right now it will come already transcoded but we want to be covered in case they do in fact ask us to grade off of the r3d's and not 1080 4444 files. Why would i need to Resolve stations if I am only grading either 4444 or r3d?

I appreciate your help and patience...i realize its a lot to quickly understand!
thank you
