Sending a VFX Connect Directory
toAnother Machine
If you’re going to hand off a VFX Connect directory to someone else using a different
workstation, it’s a good idea to render self-contained media for the Fusion composition to make
it easy to hand off everything the compositing artist will need. Otherwise, you’ll need to
manually find and provide the associated media files yourself. There are two ways of rendering
self-contained media for Fusion:
If you check “Open VFX Connect Clip” in the New VFX Connect Clip dialog, then
DaVinci Resolve by default renders each of the video clips you selected, along with
every speed effect, transform, and Color page operation that’s been applied to each
clip, using the Timeline Color Space.
If you haven’t opened the VFX Connect clip in Fusion yet, you can also right-click any
VFX Connect clip in the Media Pool, and choose VFX Connect > Render Media from
the contextual menu.
Once that’s done, there are two ways you can locate the actual VFX Connect directory’s
location, in order to copy it for whomever is going to be doing the compositing work for you.
You can turn on the Custom Location checkbox in the New VFX Connect Clip dialog,
then click the Browse button and choose a location where the resulting directory is
easily copied.
You can also right-click on any VFX Connect clip in the Media Pool, and choose Reveal
in Finder to open that VFX Connect clip’s directory.
