ِAll New Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Replay Editor

The Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Replay Editor offers a unified hardware control panel catering to both replay and multicam editing needs, tailored for live sports and news editing setups. Various keys on the panel facilitate switching between inputs, setting Point-of-Interests, and triggering auto stinger functions, among other features. Utilizing Bluetooth 5.1 LE technology, the panel seamlessly integrates into your existing network infrastructure. Its substantial internal battery ensures prolonged operation during extended production sessions and can be easily powered on and off using the onboard switch. You can recharge the battery or connect to a separate power supply via the USB-C port.

Live Input Viewing

Activate the live input button to switch the viewer to a direct input from video hardware, such as a switcher multi-view. This feature provides a low-latency view of your cameras, allowing you to mark the point of interest (POI) for replay.

Marking POI

To mark an event, simply press the POI button or the space bar when the input view is selected. This action sets the POI time based on the video input timecode and then switches to the source view, cueing to the POI.

Navigating to End

In case of distractions during editing, use the “Go to End” function to navigate to the end of the recently recorded media. From there, you can scroll back to review missed events.

Selecting Best Angle through DaVinci Resolve Replay Editor

Scroll back to review all camera angles simultaneously, facilitated by DaVinci Resolve Replay Editor’s ability to play them into a multi-view. This makes it effortless to identify and choose the optimal angle for replay.

Auto Stinger Activation

Before initiating a replay, consider enabling the auto stinger feature, which automatically rolls a stinger when starting or stopping a replay. Different stingers can be selected using the title keys.

Choosing Transitions

During replay, utilize the cut and dissolve buttons to select transition types for sequencing shots. Each time a new camera is selected, a smooth dissolve transition is applied.

Commencing Replay

Press the RUN button to commence replay, activating the key channel output to display the playback on the switcher and initiate the auto stinger. Additionally, logging starts when adding the replay to the timeline.

Adjusting Playback Speed through DaVinci Resolve Replay Editor

Adjust playback speed in real-time using the slider control. Slow down playback speed on both the viewer and the timeline, and utilize the search dial to navigate around the paused area when slowing to a stop.

Camera Switching

Utilize the camera buttons to switch between cameras during playback. The viewer will maintain a multi-view display, with the selected camera outputted to the video output, mimicking the functionality of a switcher.

Shot Sequencing through DaVinci Resolve Replay Editor

While playing to air, pressing one of the time keys and a CAM button will prompt DaVinci Resolve to jump playback to the selected time before the POI for the chosen camera, optionally applying a transition.

Terminating Replay

Press the DUMP button to halt replay and add the shots to the timeline if one is selected. This button can also trigger the auto stinger, with a slight delay if a new shot sequence has just been initiated.

Creating New Timelines

Initiate a new timeline by pressing the new timeline key, which will promptly save the current timeline and open a new one with a similar name. This streamlined process allows for rapid creation of new timelines, ideal for organizing replays efficiently.
