Working with Clips in DaVinci Resolve
You can use DaVinci Resolve's 'clone' tool, in the 'media' page, to create running backups as
you scan your clips. This is recommended as any type of media is susceptible to becoming
damaged or developing a fault so creating backups ensures your scanned files will be immune
to loss. Once you have used DaVinci Resolve to back up your media, you can add your scanned
clips to the DaVinci media pool, then arrange the clips in a timeline, color correct, and finish
your production without ever having to leave DaVinci Resolve.
TIP
You can identify HDR clips via the HDR icon in the bottom left corner of the
clip thumbnail.
Because your Cintel Scanner captures a CRI raw image format with a wide dynamic range, DaVinci
Resolve will help you adjust your shots to get any kind of look you are after. DaVinci Resolve is the
same tool used on most major blockbuster movies, so it's much more than a simple NLE software
tool, as it has extremely advanced technology built in for high end digital film. You get the
advantage of this technology when you use DaVinci Resolve to edit and color correct your scans.
Included here is information on how to get started using DaVinci Resolve with your scanned files.
Of course, DaVinci Resolve is extremely advanced and includes a lot more features than you
immediately see when first looking at its user interface. To learn more about how to use DaVinci
Resolve, please check for the DaVinci Resolve instruction manual PDF file on the DaVinci Resolve
software disk, or check online for the many training courses and tutorial videos available.
