Benefits of Editing a Live Project
There are multiple benefits of editing a live event. Some of the edits you might need to do can
be completed very quickly and then you can render out a new master file before uploading.
Itmeans you don’t have to accept the live edit you did while streaming, as now you can make
changes to it before uploading it.
You can also use the ISO recording features and editing to create programs faster, because you
can just use ATEM SDI ISO model switchers as a multi track recorder to feed edit stations with
multiple camera views!
If you are importing the DaVinci Resolve project, then you are going to see your live production
rebuilt as an edit almost instantly. Now you can make some fast creative adjustments to your
event before uploading.
What’s on the Layers?
The processing in a switcher normally progresses from the switcher inputs on the left of
the control panel to the right where the output features are. That’s because a switcher
is a live processing pipeline from the video inputs, through all the switcher features and
then out to the video output.
Editing works very differently. You get a stack of layers in editing software. The lowest
layer is covered by layers above. So this means any clip on layer 2 will cover any clip on
layer 1. Normally people edit with cuts and dissolves on layer 1, however then other
items are placed on layers above. Any clip placed on layer 3 would cover any clips on
layers 1 and 2. You can have dozens of layers in complex edits.
So to understand what DaVinci Resolve does when it imports your project file, just look
at the project after it’s been imported. You can see the various types of processing that
have been placed on different edit layers.
