Auto Analysis is Available to All Studio Users
Resolve Studio enables either unlicensed or licensed users to automatically analyze the image and generate Dolby Vision analysis metadata. This metadata is used to deliver Dolby Vision content and to render other HDR and SDR deliverables from the HDR grade that you’ve made. This enables any DaVinci Resolve Studio user to create Dolby Vision deliverables with Level 1 metadata. However, manual trimming of the analysis metadata requires a license from Dolby.
The commands governing Dolby Vision auto-analysis, which are available to all Resolve Studio users, are available in the Color > Dolby Vision™ submenu, as well as the Dolby Vision palette, and consist of the following:
— Analyze All Shots: Automatically analyzes each clip in the Timeline and stores the results individually.
— Analyze Selected Shot(s): Only analyzes selected shots in the Timeline.
— Analyze Selected And Blend: Analyzes multiple selected shots as if they were a single sequence. The result is the same analysis being saved to each clip. Useful to save time when analyzing multiple clips that have identical content.
— Analyze Current Frame: A fast way to analyze clips where a single frame is representative of the entire shot.
Once you analyze a clip, the Min, Max, and Average fields automatically populate with the resulting L1 data; these fields are not editable.
The metadata fields for each clip
Additionally, clips that have been analyzed show an HDR badge in the Thumbnail timeline, to help you keep track of which clips have been analyzed and which have yet to be.
Analyzed clips have HDR badges to identify them
