Kontroller: included with Konformista

Follows Resolve

Kontroller reads the project open in Resolve and moves with it. Switch project or timeline in Resolve and its pages follow.

The live timeline: A picture of the open timeline above the Shot and Clips pages, in Resolve's clip colors, with its markers and the playhead. Click a clip or the ruler and Resolve's playhead moves there.
The current shot: The clip under the playhead, with a still, its reel, camera and color group, and how many times the cut uses it. Previous and Next step along its track; type a timecode to jump.
Shot details: File, codec, resolution, source and record timecode, and the camera, ISO, white balance, lens, shutter and color space, as the media pool reports them. Change the retime process, motion estimation or scaling here and Resolve follows.
Related shots: Every other use of the same source, the clips in the same color group and the clips with the same flag, a key press apart.

Clips and media

Every clip the timeline uses, with its online state, and what to do with a batch of them.

Find: Narrow the list to online, offline or mismatched frame rates, search by name, reel or path, or filter by clip color, flag, frame rate, resolution, codec, camera, reel or bin. Or list the whole media pool.
Change a batch: Tick clips and set their clip color, flag, color group or retime, switch them on or off, or add markers to the timeline or the clips. Every use of each clip changes at once.
Organize: Color, flag or group every clip on the timeline by its camera, codec, resolution, frame rate or reel, in one go.
Relink: Link Media points clips at the right files with the same match criteria as the conform, and leaves record position, duration and source in and out where they were.
Put a file back: Every file swap is remembered. Restore previous file steps a clip back one swap; Restore conformed file returns it to the file the conform used.
Clip detail: Double-click a clip to see what Resolve holds beside what is in the file, with a still, and try another file from your search folders.

Markers and notes

Markers for the timeline, notes for the media, and client feedback brought in as notes.

The Marker Nav Bar floats over Resolve.

Marker Nav Bar: Jump between markers, and add a timeline marker, clip marker or flag at the playhead in the color you pick. M adds one, the arrow keys jump.
Markers page: Every marker and flag as a card with its frame. Change a name, note, timecode or length in place, recolor, move markers between the timeline and the clip, and export a selection as CSV.
Notes: A note pins to a frame of the source media, not to a place on the timeline, so it lands on the right frame after the cut is reordered or conformed again. Write one on the clip under the playhead, in Kontroller or in the floating Notes bar.
Client feedback: Import comment CSVs from Frame.io, Vimeo, Dropbox Replay or MediaSilo, subtitle files, Word or RTF documents, or a pasted email with lines such as 0:34 lose the wide. The preview shows where each comment lands before you add it.
Into Resolve: Place open notes as timeline markers, clip markers, flags or clip colors; notes on the same frame share one marker. Share notes with another machine as a notes file.

VFX pulls and returns

From marked ranges to plates on disk, and the finished comps back on the timeline.

Capture: Mark in and out at the playhead, turn markers with a duration into ranges, or use the editor's markers from Premiere, filtered by a keyword. Blank shots get codes such as GA_01_010.
Handles: Eight frames a side by default, or your own for each shot.
Plates: Trim delivers each shot's camera original cut to its frames plus handles, at its own frame rate and resolution, with no re-encode. Camera RAW is trimmed too. Or render every shot through Resolve, from your own render presets.
What the vendor gets: The plates, the shot list, an ALE, a CMX3600 EDL, and a CDL and LUT for each shot. Seal the delivery and every file is checksummed into an ASC MHL manifest.
Returns: Choose the vendor's folder. Each comp is matched to the shot it was pulled from and placed on a new video track above it, trimmed to the cut or with its handles, so the original stays one switch away.
Finish Pass: Checks each placed comp for a retime, a sub-frame alignment or an animated reframe, and writes the fixes into a new timeline, leaving the original as it was.

Time and invoices

Kontroller keeps no timer. Time tracking and invoices are Konformista Timer, an app of its own with a licence of its own: it follows the timeline open in Resolve, leaves out the time you step away, and turns the hours into invoices.

Requirements

License: Included with Konformista for DaVinci Resolve. Kontroller opens with the same license and is in the same download.
Resolve: Shot, Clips, Markers, Notes and VFX work on the project open in Resolve. Notes and VFX need DaVinci Resolve Studio.
Opening it: Kontroller at the top of the Project Hub, or the Kontroller button on the Konformista tools palette in Resolve.
Over Premiere: From the Konformista panel in Premiere, Kontroller opens on your Premiere sequence: Shot, Clips, Markers, Notes and VFX pull work there too.
