Direction 0.3.4: Finish in Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve
File › Export for an Editing App… writes a folder that Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve both open, so a colorist or a finishing editor can take the film from there. You can also add it to what Deliver makes. The folder holds:
- your cut, on the same frames, with every take's original timecode;
- titles and effects that only Direction can draw, as finished clips in their place;
- each sound track as its own file;
- your look, as a file a colorist can load;
- a read-me that says what the colorist should redo.
Nothing comes back into Direction.
Cleaner cuts
The editor can now see where a take is good to cut: when someone blinks, at the peak of a movement, or in a pause between words. It cuts there instead of at a guessed time. Before you lock the picture, Direction points out jump cuts and sound that stops in the middle of a word.
Music that fits
Direction hears where each beat and bar of a song falls, and where the song changes, so a note can say "start the music at bar 9". To fit a song to the length of your cut, the editor joins it between two bars that sound alike. The song keeps its intro and its real ending, with no click and no jump in level.
Captions, credits and loudness, done for you
Before the editor finishes a cut, Direction lays the captions from what's said, rolls your credits after the last shot, and sets the sound to your loudness target. Deliver can save the captions as files (SRT and WebVTT) for YouTube and other players.
Improvements
- A lighter editor. Each job gives the editor only the tools it needs, so there's less for it to read at every step.
