For NAB 2019 we pulled collectively an unbelievable group of speaker periods, bringing over a dozen leaders and professionals on the earth of video manufacturing to share insights into their workflow processes. Matters ranged from how BuzzFeed makes use of the Frame.io API to handle video and person stats and workflow, to Michael Cioni of Panavision and Lightiron making the case for a way a common sensor measurement can revolutionize the business.
Beginning right this moment we’re releasing these periods. You’ll discover them on our numerous social channels like Twitter and Facebook—however if you wish to be notified of future releases, learn the transcripts, or get extra goodies from the audio system, then the Body.io Insider is the place to be.
First up, Alexis Van Hurkman of Blackmagic Design demonstrates DaVinci Resolves hard-coded integration of Body.io.
Within the first video of the session collection, Alexis Van Hurkman of Blackmagic Design steps us by means of certainly one of our most fun new options—Frame.io’s integration into DaVinci Resolve 16. Listed here are the highlights to remove from the video.
- That is Alexis’ favourite demo to do as a result of it’s really easy. Really easy the truth is, he carried out the demo from scratch (versus working with a ready file).
- Blackmagic’s engineers have made Body.io a built-in, absolutely built-in function that isn’t a plug-in or add-on. It’s elementary to how Resolve works and makes use of Resolve’s native UI to facilitate interoperability with Body.io, enabling you to make use of Body.io as each a supply and vacation spot on your video.
- As you watch Alexis show the method, there’s no denying the convenience of use; the entire video is simply 14 minutes lengthy, if that tells you something. It’s so simple as signing in to your Body.io account (you solely have to do it as soon as) and Resolve syncs itself with all the pieces you’re engaged on in Body.io. You’ll be able to even hyperlink your timeline to beforehand uploaded clips or motion pictures after the very fact!
- Delivering movies is fast and simple. The Body.io preset seems within the Resolve render settings so you possibly can add on to Body.io. You’ll be able to even do it within the background, which lets you work on one thing else whereas your lower is importing. You’ll be able to test the add by opening the file in a browser window inside Resolve, and may add feedback or descriptions earlier than sending it out.
- If you obtain suggestions from purchasers, they mechanically sync frame-accurately inside your Resolve timeline. There’s additionally a function that permits you to flip suggestions feedback on or off so you possibly can management once you need to view feedback—or not—and reply to them from inside your timeline, as nicely.
Lastly, as proof of idea: Alexis did this demo utilizing clips from a film he’s directing that he shot in China. He’s been in a position to collaborate and talk along with his Chinese language colleagues on this challenge as a result of Body.io (in contrast to YouTube or Vimeo) is without doubt one of the solely video-sharing providers that goes by means of the Chinese language firewall.
And if he thinks that Body.io was “a lifesaver” on his challenge, we hope you’ll take pleasure in utilizing it as a part of Resolve, too.

My identify’s Alexis Van Hurkman. When you don’t know me by status, I wrote The Colour Correction Handbook, and most of the people know me from my work in coloration. However I’m additionally a filmmaker and I additionally work with the DaVinci Resolve workforce, as a part of their product design workforce. So I helped design the app. And I additionally write the handbook.
One of many huge new modifications, the brand new additions, in DaVinci Resolve 16, which we simply introduced this week is Body.io integration. And the factor that’s actually cool about our Body.io integration is the DaVinci Resolve engineering workforce did it. That is an inner, built-in a part of Resolve. It isn’t a plug-in. It’s not an add-on. It’s elementary to how Resolve works. And as a consequence, we’re mainly utilizing our common UI to facilitate interoperability with Body.io. So, I’ll present you the way it works. And that is my favourite demo to present as a result of it’s so easy. And simply to make the purpose, I’m going to start out with a very clean, new challenge. So, this isn’t preset. This isn’t pre-built. I’m going to do that. I’ve an web connection. Hopefully, it’s working, we’ll discover out.
So, first off, I’m going to go to the Media web page, which, for those who don’t know DaVinci Resolve, the Media web page is mainly our built-in file browser. So this accesses your file system and all your volumes. And the media storage space right here is mainly our window into your file system. So, we have now a listing of all of the volumes hooked up to your machine. And you’ll see, we’ve obtained a Body.io quantity. So, the best way that obtained there, is for those who go into Preferences, there’s a model new Web Accounts set of preferences. And you’ll see, we additionally added interoperability with YouTube and Vimeo. These are one-way streets. We are able to add to these file-sharing providers and the video seems. And it’s only a very good comfort. Nonetheless, with Body.io, we truly allow you to signal into your account by way of a window, we keep in mind your credentials, so that you solely have to enroll as soon as.
And we allow you to specify a money location. And this money location is mainly, the place DaVinci Resolve syncs itself with all the pieces you’re working with, in your Body.io account to maintain all the pieces good and tidy. So, when you’ve set all that up, Body.io seems as a Quantity. And I can open it up. And I see my account. And I can open that up. And I see all of my initiatives, hierarchically organized. So, I’m going to enter my Huge Cash Indie challenge, which has clips from a transfer that I’m in the midst of ending proper now known as, Carry My Coronary heart To The Yellow River. A film I directed in China, final summer time. And I’ve to present a shout out to [Gaia Mount 00:03:06] for letting me use this footage for this presentation. And if I am going into this VRYR Offline Media Folder, I’ve a bunch of clips, offline H264 clips, that anyone uploaded for me, perhaps an editorial assistant. For me to have the ability to entry and do some enhancing on the highway.
So, I can seize these clips and import them into my challenge. And as once I import every other clips, it asks me if I need to conform the initiatives to that medias body charges and measurement. I do. And I’m simply going to in a short time arrange these clips by file identify. I’m going to pick out all of them. And I’m going to be the world’s laziest editor and simply create a brand new timeline with the chosen clips. Open that up and right here I am going. So, I’ve obtained an edit and perhaps my logging was so good that this edit’s simply good. So, I’m going to go as much as Timeline, drop Letter Boxing on the entire challenge. And go to the Ship web page. I’m going to only ship this off to my producer and see if, magically, he’ll be pleased with this. So, with all this setup, all I’ve obtained to do, is … So, for those who don’t know, the Ship web page is mainly a large render window, besides it’s a web page and it’s a queue-based rendering system. So, I can setup a number of jobs if I have to render, say, the identical timeline in three other ways. I can set that up right here.
It’s a very nice expertise. The Render settings are the place I setup how I need to output my timeline. Up on the prime, I’ve obtained Presets. And now I’ve obtained a Body.io preset. This solely seems for those who’ve logged into your Body.io account. However once I select that, I get this brief checklist of choices. And all I really want to do is sort a file identify, You Like? … that’s horrible, however I’m typing one-handed. After which, once I click on the Browse button to search out the place I need to save this too, I truly get to decide on a web-based challenge and folder. And I can see all of the folders within my challenge. I’m simply going to pick out the highest degree. I’m going to click on Okay. I’m going to do away with that character. Nice. I’m going to just accept the presets. I’m going to render an H264. And there’s a checkbox, which lets me decide whether or not or not I need to mechanically add on to Body.io. After all, I do. I add this to the render queue and I click on Begin Render.
So, DaVinci Resolve begins ripping by means of the render. And as soon as it’s accomplished with the render, it begins importing. And I can see the add share within the little job itemizing right here. This can be a background add, so I can soar into different pages whereas that is taking place and do anything I have to do. Perhaps I need to begin logging some footage with the Metadata Editor. If I’m wherever else, I can go into the Workspace menu and open up our new Background Exercise window. Which is exhibiting me that nothing is occurring, as a result of the add was actually quick. And if I am going again to the Ship web page, you possibly can see Add Accomplished. So, I didn’t need to do something. It simply occurred. Now, I need to go to that web page. I need to test it out. We made that straightforward. Proper-click on the job and select Reveal in Browser. And we open up a browser window and we go straight to your account. I obtained logged out someway, that’s high-quality.
Thank god for obfuscation. And right here I am going. I’m in Body.io on the net. At this level I can add an outline and do any housekeeping I need to do, previous to sending off a hyperlink to my consumer. I’ve to ship hyperlinks from the Body.io interface. That’s not constructed into Resolve. You do nonetheless have to make use of Body.io. However, right here’s what’s cool. So, I ship the hyperlink off to my consumer, as a result of I exported the timeline in the best way that we’ve set it up, if my consumer begins including markers like this. And scrolls round and perhaps decides to start out performing some annotations, “Can you progress this over right here? As a result of I do know you are able to do every kind of loopy compositing issues.” Sends me these notes. If I soar again to DaVinci Resolve and return to the Edit web page, I can see these markers seem mechanically. These are specialised Body.io markers with these feedback. So, any feedback added by way of Body.io, mechanically pop into my machine so long as I’m linked to the web and I’m logged into Body.io, as markers that I can handle.
Now, if I am going into the View menu, we have now one other new function the place we are able to individually disguise or present markers by coloration. And you’ll see Body.io markers are separate. So, for those who’re a bit of paranoid and you may’t stand the considered seeing your purchasers feedback as you’re making them, you possibly can flip them off. Do what you’re doing after which flip them on once you’re able to face the music. However the different factor I need to present you is that if I am going right down to the subsequent marker, all of these Body.io drawn annotations, get imported into our native annotation system. So, the appear and feel of the arrows is a bit of bit completely different, however all the pieces’s going to seem the place it ought to. We’re decision unbiased, so we are able to truly handle these variations. And so, no matter suggestions the consumer provides you, you get and it’s proper in your timeline. And in order for you, you should utilize our Shortcut menu to only traverse these Body.io markers. And you’ll simply decide off these feedback one-by-one. Do what you want. When you’ve accomplished one thing, you possibly can double click on a marker.
And we truly offer you a remark window that interfaces with Body.io, so you possibly can say, “Nice. I like that you simply like what I did.” And if I am going again to Body.io, you’ll see that that remark seems. So, it’s a two-way commenting road, which is implausible. And that’s just about it. There’s just one different factor I might present you, which is that if I am going again to the Media web page. When you’re in a scenario the place you’ve already uploaded, say, a feature-length timeline manually, and also you improve to 16 and also you’re like “Wow it’d be so nice if I might hyperlink to all these feedback after the very fact.” You’ll be able to truly choose a clip in your Body.io account, choose a timeline, right-click it, and hyperlink that timeline to that film. So, we even can help you hyperlink to Body.io motion pictures, after the very fact, if it’s good to. In order that’s our integration. And as you possibly can see, it’s not exhausting. It simply makes use of all of DaVinci Resolve’s native instruments and methodologies, besides that now Body.io is accessible as a supply of fabric and as a vacation spot for materials. And we have now these nice hooks to handle feedback.
So, Yeah.
Yeah, so mainly this quantity is, so … DaVinci Resolve has all the time been in a position to cope with sans and distant volumes. So, we simply see this as one other distant quantity. It’s a really distant quantity. And keep in mind, we have now that money location. So, everytime you obtain one thing the primary time, we truly simply present you a thumbnail and a brilliant low-resolution factor that may come over rapidly. To be able to begin working instantly. However as quickly because it’s downloaded and cashed, these low-res media recordsdata instantly pop again to being no matter res you downloaded. And so far as I do know, proper now, we solely obtain the unique file. We don’t offer you entry to the lowered decision recordsdata. That’s most likely one thing they’re engaged on. However I don’t know for positive. We work so quick, they don’t even inform me what they’ve accomplished half the time, I’ve to search out it by myself initiative within the app. We’re so organized at DaVinci. However yeah. That’s mainly it. It’s simply one other quantity, that’s how we deal with it. For a UI perspective.
What’s the user-curve for purchasers getting began for the primary time? I imply, that is actually a Body.io query, as a result of we don’t design their interface. However I’d say, from my expertise, dropping hyperlinks on folks for the primary time, the curve to open up and evaluate, zero. Everybody I’ve used Body.io with has gotten it intuitively. The curve to discover ways to remark is extremely low. I imply, there’s only a huge subject, you begin typing. Right here’s what I’ve discovered is the issue and I truly in contrast notes with another folks I do know, and all of us laughed about it. The largest barrier I discover isn’t getting purchasers in a position to make use of the Body.io interface, however getting them to really remark utilizing the interface. As a result of everybody’s so used to sending you an e-mail checklist of nonsense. And it’s like, “You will have the world’s best commenting interface. Use that. Please.” And now there’s much more incentive. As a result of now I don’t need to handle some e-mail ASCII 00:13:30 textual content checklist. Simply use the UI, it’s really easy. In order that’s simply altering habits is I discover the toughest factor.
One different factor I’ll say is that this challenge shot in China, and I’ve been working with my Chinese language colleagues with all of it alongside. Body.io is without doubt one of the solely video sharing providers that truly goes by means of the Chinese language firewall. Vimeo doesn’t. YouTube doesn’t. So, it was a lifesaver as a result of I used to be in a position to truly share media with my Chinese language colleagues and so they have been in a position to simply go browsing, entry it, and so they didn’t need to do any bizarre tips. So, that may be a large deal for me.
So, every other questions?
Properly, thanks for coming. Like I mentioned, easiest demo on the earth. And yeah, I hope you’re in a position to make use of this to good impact. So, thanks for coming.
