Have been going through every step you described, and all of it makes much more sense to me now than two years ago when I started. In the DaVinci forum, they told me that the standard version works fine for 4K (but some of the specialized editing tools show up with a watermark). No need to buy the Studio version for $300. We don't yet have a 4K monitor, which I now realize is essential, compared to the old HD monitors made for office use. One question for now - is it better to CROP both sides off the image, just showing the eye, or do people find the black borders of the image annoying? I think in your video you emphasized to only show the most "obvious" views of what is happening, and the side views to me are not needed. I want to make them either black, or if possible, make them much lighter, so the crop is obvious.
Very nice explanation of what is where. Does most of this apply to the version 8 Beta that is now available? Also among these tools, is there any way to try to keep the eye centered in the frame, so it doesn't move around in the frame during surgery? Could I select the "center of the eye", such that Resolve will try to keep that point centered in the window? I imagine this will result in automatic "cropping" as needed to accomplish it, and we would probably need to set a maximum amount that they eye movement could be corrected. Wonderful video. I installed the software yesterday, and will be using this video as I start to learn how to use the software. Also, there are two versions of the software available, a "free" version, and a "Studio" version which sells for $300 or so. Which version are you using, and if you are using the Studio version, is that necessary to accomplish all the tools you use? It is wonderful that the same software works on both Windows and macOS.
Yes v18 is now out of beta so you can remove the beta version & install v18 final version, if you are starting you can start with free version & when needed some advance features you can buy the studio version. Free version can track the subject to keep it in center of frame however you need to learn to do the subject tracking.
