Setup Step 1

Shared Database 共享数据库

Collaboration by definition means working with multiple people and to take advantage of the Resolve collaborative workflow you must use a shared Postgres SQL database.
协同工作意味着你需要与其他用户共享数据，因此在达芬奇中你必须将Database数据库设置为Postgres SQL。
With regular local SQL databases, both the free version and the studio version of Resolve can connect to them however to connect to a shared SQL database you must use Resolve Studio. Thus Resolve Studio is required for all computers (and the same version must be used on all computers) to enable
the collaborative workflow.
虽然免费版和Studio版的达芬奇都可以访问到本地SQL数据库，但是协同工作流的共享数据库需要Studio版达芬奇的支持，并且要求所有用户使用相同版本。
A while back, I wrote an Insight about setting up a shared Database. I’m not going to rehash all the setup steps here, so be sure to check that article out.
我（作者）写过一篇关于如何设置共享数据库的文章，在此就不必复述了。
If you do have a read through, just keep in mind that Postgres SQL 8.4 is no longer used by Resolve. Any references to it should be replaced with the newer 9.5 version that currently ships with Resolve Studio.
以下提及的Postgres SQL数据库版本都将是更新的v9.5，旧版并不支持。

Yep, a Mac Mini is a dated machine but it makes a great database server! Keep in mind any Resolve system can act as a database server too. I just like having a dedicated machine for the task.


//Mac Mini的配置虽然比较过时，但是作为数据库服务器还是够用的。
REALLY IMPORTANT: If you’re going to migrate a machine to MacOs Sierra 10.12 (and plan to move existing SQL databases shared or not) make sure you read all the way to the bottom of the Resolve 14 Read Me file for some really important information:
重要提示：如果你准备迁移到macOS Sierra 10.12（甚至准备将现有的SQL数据库拿来共享）请确保你仔细阅读达芬奇14手册中的以下内容：


The Resolve 14 installer has some sage advice about upgrading an existing Postgres SQL install to the latest version of the Mac OS. Be sure to read this carefully if you’re migrating your Mac OS


//达芬奇14的安装中有一些关于升级Postgres SQL到最新版macOS的警告。请保证在迁移到最新macOS之前仔细阅读这些内容。


Here are some additional thoughts about a database server that I want to reiterate from my earlier article:
在此我想重申一下之前关于数据库服务器的内容：
  • What Computer For A Database Server? – as I mentioned in my Insight on setting up a database server, I use a Mac Mini for this purpose. If you don’t want to use an additional computer, any Resolve workstation can be used. Setup is easiest on Mac but can be done on a Windows or Linux based machine.
  • 什么电脑能用于数据库服务器？- 正如我之前提到的，我用了一台Mac Mini。如果你并不想额外再配置一台电脑的话，任何能运行达芬奇的电脑，无论Windows平台还是Linux都可以，Mac我（作者）觉得是最方便的。
  • Connectivity Of the Server – the database server potentially handles a lot of traffic. For best performance, use a wired network and not WiFi. Also, remember the database server doesn’t have to have access to media used in a project which can simplify setup – although many people do connect their database server to their SANs.
  • 如何与服务器连接？- 由于服务器会有大量的数据吞吐量，为了保证最好的效果，建议使用有线网络而非WiFi。同时请记住数据库服务器无需访问到项目所用到的媒体文件，虽然还是有很多人将数据库服务器连接到SAN上。
  • Don’t Forget About Backups! – with more people working a project at any time there is more potential for disaster! Make sure to do regular backups of your shared SQL databases. This can be done via individual client workstations, or on the database server itself using the Resolve UI and can also be scripted via the terminal to have regular backups made automatically. The price of Resolve Studio (even at just $999) used to be a barrier for some in getting database server put into action, but now at $299 you can get three seats of Resolve for what used to be a single seat – so no more excuses!
  • 千万别忘记备份！ - 越多的人编辑项目就有越高的风险遇到意外状况。请确保定期备份你的共享SQL数据库。这可以通过访客工作站或者直接在数据库服务器上通过达芬奇的工作界面进行备份，也可以在终端（macOS）用脚本来自动地定期进行备份。999刀的价格曾经是许多工作室将达芬奇单独部署到数据库服务器上的一个障碍，如今BMD已将价格下调至299刀，相同的价格你就可以部署三台设备，所以不要再找借口赶紧买买买


Setup Step 2 – Shared Storage

To get the most out of a Resolve Collaborative workflow shared storage is extremely helpful.
充分利用好达芬奇协同工作流的共享储存是非常非常有帮助的
Shared storage allows users to access the same media, at the same time, which is almost by definition collaboration.
共享储存允许多个用户同时访问同一个媒体，这就定义了协同工作的特点
As you probably know, all shared storage is not created equal. An off the shelf NAS using gigabit ethernet while technically shared storage is going to suck and offer extremely disappointing performance.
你可能知道，同样是共享储存用途也不尽相同。一个现成配置的NAS，使用千兆以太网的话拿来用作达芬奇的协同工作将会非常的糟糕，毕竟带宽远远不够。
10GBe SAN solutions are very affordable these days. We’ve been using the Jelly Fish from Lumaforge which rocks. Highly configurable, multiple built-in Gigabit and 10GBe ports to suit most small to medium facilities, the Jelly Fish is pretty compelling. Sam Mastman and the team at Lumaforge also have some new things planned for the Jelly Fish that we’ll discuss more in future Insights.
而使用了万兆以太网的SAN则将可靠很多。这儿就拿Lumaforge的Jelly Fish作为例子。高度可配置，多重内建的千兆和万兆网络接口对于中等或轻量级工作需求尤其是协同工作就比较适用。


The Jellyfish from Lumaforge is a robust San solution (tower version shown here).
//Lumaforge的Jellyfish就是一款高鲁棒性的SAN方案


Of course, Lumaforge is not the only SAN game in town, there are compelling options from EditShare, SmallTree and others. In addition, Fiber Channel solutions are very popular.
当然Lumaforge并不是唯一的SAN提供商，还有EditShare、SmallTree等等厂家有相应的解决方案。由来光纤组建SAN更加的普遍，抗衰减，抗干扰性都比铜线更好，每米单价也更便宜。
From a collaboration standpoint, there are several things to consider about shared storage:
在出于对协同工作的考虑，对于共享储存需要注意以下几点：
  • Bandwidth – more users, less compressed footage = greater bandwidth needs. A couple streams of ProRes is a lot less bandwidth intensive than 5 streams of Open EXR. Shared storage bandwidth needs to be well planned and thought out.
  • 带宽 - 更多用户，更少的压缩媒体 = 更高的带宽需求。两条ProRes媒体所需要的带宽比5条OpenEXR媒体流少得多。所以共享储存的带宽需求需要好好地计划一下。
  • Capacity – one advantage that finishing has over editorial is that our jobs tend to be much more transient. However, the promise of Resolve Collaboration is adding other disciplines to the fold and for editorial, that means A LOT of footage, not just flattened files and media managed projects. A 50% pad in storage is a good place to start. You should also think about near-line and archival storage options.
  • 容量 -
  • Speed – mechanical drives still offer the most bang for the buck as well as highest capacity, but SSDs both as media drives and setup to support mechanical drives as a cache solution offer considerably more speed. If your budget allows, an all-SSD SAN provides incredible multi-user speed.
  • 速度 - 机械硬盘最大的优势就是容量，固态硬盘既可以作为媒体盘也可以给机械硬盘作高速缓存用以提高读写速度。如果预算充足全固态硬盘的SAN可以为多用户编辑提供惊人的读写速度。
  • Management – not to be overlooked is how configurable and manageable a shared storage solution is. Shared storage should allow you to easily configure users, storage pools and essential setup design, i.e. SMB/CIFS vs. AFP, etc.
  • 管理 - 对于共享储存解决方案请不要忽视配置和管理的方便性。共享储存应该允许你方便地配置用户、存储池和基础的设置，也就是SMB/CIFS协议或者AFP协议等等。
  • Expansion – your needs today probably won’t be your needs in a year. A key aspect of any shared storage solution is expandability.
  • 可扩展性 - 今天的需求并不代表今后的需求。任何共享储存的关键一点就是可扩展性。


With so many options on the market these days, just be sure to do your homework, ask lots of questions and make smart, cost-effective decisions.
市场上有这么多选项的情况下，除了考虑好以上几点，性价比也是很重要的因素。

File Path Substitutions
文件路径替代
In many collaborative setups, there will be a mix of Windows/Mac/Linux machines. While shared storage allows all of those platforms to access the same media, one thing to be aware of is Resolve uses absolute files paths for linking to media files.
在许多协同工作的情况下，通常会出现不同操作平台（Win/Mac/Linux）混合的情形。虽然共享储存会让不同用户访问到同一个文件，需要记住的是达芬奇是用绝对路径来链接媒体文件。
So for example, let’s say an editor adds clips to the media pool on a Windows machine. The mount point of the SAN on that machine is S:\
举个例子。一个剪辑师在Windows PC上添加了一条片段到媒体池。加载的路径就是指向到SAN上的S:\
A colorist working on a Mac wants to start coloring the project at the same time, however, when they go to open the project in a collaborative mode, the media doesn’t relink. Why?
而在Mac上工作的调色师想要同时开始调色，可是当他在协同模式下打开项目却发现媒体无法链接上。为什么呢？
S:\ doesn’t exist on the Mac. That syntax is a Windows one. On the Mac the correct path would be /volumes/NameOf Volume/
“S:\”是Windows定义的路径语法，这种路径无法在Mac上定义。在Mac上正确的路径应该是“/Volumes/卷名/”

A mapped mount/file path substitution is how you can get around different operating systems using different file path nomenclature.
//映射挂载点或者说文件路径替代就可以让你在不同的操作系统之间进行共享。

To get media to relink properly, add in a substitute file path or what Resolve calls a mapped mount on the Mac with the Windows path and on the Windows machine with the Mac path. You do this in the media storage preferences – DaVinci Resolve > Preferences > Media Storage.
为了使媒体文件能正常链接上，在达芬奇的 偏好设置 > 媒体存储 中设置映射挂载点以便跨平台访问解决文件路径不统一的情况。
To help minimize confusion on multiple Windows systems I use the same drive letter as the mount point.
即使在多个Windows平台之间我也用了相同的挂载点以减小混淆的情况。

Render Cache & Optimized Media
渲染缓存和优化媒体
If you utilized the Render Cache and Optimized Media functions of Resolve, you may want to share those files created on one system with other systems.
To do so, you need to tell Resolve to place all of these times on your shared storage. This is easy to do – simply add your shared storage in the first location in your Media Storage locations.
要在协同工作中将达芬奇的渲染缓存和优化媒体功能打开，并存放至共享存储里时，只需将共享存储的路径添加到媒体存储路径列表中。
Unfortunately, you can’t reorder locations in the Media Storage dialog. So, if the shared storage is not in the first location you’ll need to delete other locations, add shared storage as your first location and then add in other locations that you might want.
杯具就是你没办法在媒体存储界面调整路径顺序，只能先添加共享存储路径，然后再添加其他的路径到媒体存储里。
It’s also a good idea to periodically check the location of these items in your Project preferences just to make sure everything is going to the right place.
最好还是经常在设置中检查一下路径是否正确以防万一。

Can You Fake Shared Storage?
可以不用共享存储吗？
Just last week, Patrick and I were China teaching color topics to an awesome group of Chinese filmmakers. We did a class on the new Collaborative workflow, but we didn’t bring any sort of shared storage with us on the 16-hour flight.
So how could we demo the workflow?
上周我和Patrick来中国给一个团队上协同工作流的课的时候，我并没有带上我用的共享存储设备，那我该如何演示？

With the same media local on multiple machines combined with a database server, and Resolve studio you don’t necessarily have to have shared storage for a collaborative workflow, but it’s highly recommended.
//你可以在不同的工作站中把素材放在相同的路径，再链接上数据库服务器以实现协同工作，因此你可以不必有共享存储，不过还是强烈建议你有一个。

 By having media locally and using file path substitutions (mapped mounts). Yep, just like the good ole days of the sneakernet!
虽然可以在本地通过文件路径替代来访问素材，但…感觉像是在偷偷摸摸的…
As along as all the same media is local on the systems you’re working on, you can use mapped mounts and a database server as described earlier to get around the shared storage part of the collaborative workflow.
只要你在每个工作平台上都有相同的本地媒体，你就能使用映射挂载点和数据库服务器；正如之前所说的，就可以绕过协同工作共享存储的部分。
Would I recommend a setup like this? No, but if you’re trying to get a feel for the collaborative workflow prior to investing in shared storage, or collaborative workflow is something you’re not going to do with great frequency, then handling media locally could work just fine.
我反正是不会推荐这样的方法的。但是如果你想在购买共享存储之前体验一下协同工作或者协同工作的频率很小，在使用本地媒体来实现倒是可以的。




Setup Step 3 - Roles
Not a technical aspect of setting up Resolve collaboration, but equally important to shared databases and shared storage is determining the roles of collaborators.
除了技术方面的设置外，确定参与协同工作的成员，和共享数据库、共享存储在达芬奇协同工作中同样重要。
It’s true that Resolve doesn’t limit what a user can do (it does on a temporary basis as different users are working), but that’s a potentially dangerous thing.
实际上达芬奇并没有限制参与的用户所能做的事情，而且在你使用期间所有操作都能生效，直至保存。但是这样就会出现一个潜在的隐患。
If every collaborator thinks they’re the lead colorist you could quickly end up with a load of different looks in a project. If everyone thinks they’re the lead editor, story decisions could be made that not everyone agrees with. And if everyone thinks they’re the audio mixer….well you get the idea.
如果每个参与协同编辑的人都认为自己是“首席”调色师、剪辑师或者混音师的话。。。那简直太糟糕了，每个人都会做出自己的修改，混乱的调色、莫名其妙的剪辑……你的工程将会变得一团糟。
Thinking about who does what, and who plays what role is an important part of collaborative thinking.
//在协同工作中，分清楚每个人所分配的工作，也是一件非常重要的事




Here a few ways of thinking about roles for the different types of work that Resolve allows you to do: 以下是在协同工作中分配不同成员时应该注意的
  • Lead Colorist/Assistant Colorists – in this scenario, a lead or supervising colorist develops the grade on key hero shots, saves stills of those key shots and then assistant colorists ripple those grades to other shots using the visual reference of the saved stills as guidance. Slightly different, a lead colorist can perform primary grades with assistants trailing behind doing more detailed work like keying or window tracking. In either case, assistants can see the lead colorist’s work on a shot after he or she moves on to another shot.
  • 调色师 - 调色师或者调色指导在为主要镜头调色时，保存这些关键镜头的静帧，然后把这些静帧用于其它镜头调色的视觉参考。稍微不同的是，主调色师可以进行一级调色，而调色助理则跟着进行更详细的操作，类似跟踪或键控这些。任何情况下，在调色师完成一个镜头并开始下一个镜头调色操作时，调色助理都能及时地看到结果。
  • Assistant Editors – assistant editors are the unsung heroes of many projects. Because Resolve uses a first come first served approach to accessing bins, a good workflow is for each assistant to tackle a single bin at a time – adding new footage, adding metadata or beginning rough edits featuring content in that bin.
  • 剪辑助理 - 调色助理是许多项目的无名英雄。因为达芬奇采用了先到先得的方式来访问Bin。一个好的工作流程是，每个助理一次处理一个Bin：添加素材、添加元数据或在这个Bin中给粗剪套底。
  • Multiple Editors – in an editorial workflow you have to get slightly more creative because timelines are locked when accessed by the first user (so is the bin the timeline is in). In this scenario, one editor would duplicate their timeline into another bin they create or the second editor made. After work has been completed one of the editors using the new timeline compare feature would assemble the final timeline back together.
  • 多人剪辑 - 在剪辑的工作部分，你得有更多关于剪辑的想法，毕竟此时时间线将被第一个访问它的用户锁定（时间线所在的Bin也是）。这样一来，其他剪辑师可以把时间线复制到别的Bin中进行剪辑。完成后再将新的时间线通过时间线对比功能进行比较以确定最终的剪辑。
  • Editors & Sound – like the editor to editor workflow, some thought has to be applied to accessing the timeline or duplicating a timeline into a different bin so a sound engineer can work. Or you could keep things more simple and simply wait until editorial is done before audio takes over!
  • 剪辑与声音 - 就像剪辑师之间的工作流程那样，要实施你的想法，必须将时间线复制出来再进行编辑。或者你也可以将你的想法简化、总结后再在剪辑完成后实施。
  • Delivery – anyone in a collaborative workflow can handle output and delivery, but generally speaking, I would leave these tasks to video-centric folks – editors/colorists. I’ve found (at least with my team) the audio folks are a little nervous around codecs, containers, etc.
  • 提交 - 协同工作流程中的每个人都可以进行渲染输出的工作，但一般而言，我都会把这些任务交给以视频为主的人，也就是剪辑师或者调色师。我（至少和我的团队）发现负责声音的同事在处理输出工作的时候会担心编码、封装的事（所以还是把输出交给剪辑师或者调色师吧）

As more people employ Resolve 14’s collaborative workflow features it’ll be really interesting to see how they think about who does what and how they do it evolves.
//随着14版达芬奇发布的协同工作功能的到来，越来越多的人在使用后开始了思路的转变，这一点还是挺有趣的。
It’ll be interesting as more and more people put Resolve 14 collaborative workflow into play how roles develop. I’d expect that every facility and team will be slightly different.
No matter how roles work out, having the discussion is important.
随着越来越多的人和团队使用达芬奇14版的协同工作功能，我期望这对行业的软硬件都带来些许改变。
不管怎样，先讨论讨论还是很重要的。


Enabling & Joining Collaborative Project
启用与加入可协同编辑项目
In Resolve 14, the collaboration option can be easily found under the File menu.
在达芬奇14中，能在 文件 菜单下很方便地找到协同编辑这个选项。

Enabling collaboration on a project is as easy as choosing the collaboration option from the file menu – remember collaborative features are only available with Resolve Studio.
//在项目中打开协同编辑，只需要在 文件 菜单中选中 启用协同编辑 ，就这么简单。对了，请记住这个功能只在Studio版本中提供。

Once collaboration has been enabled, users can simply join the already ‘in progress’ collaborative project – in the project manager, they’ll see a small icon next to the name of the project to indicate that the project has collaboration enabled.
一旦协同编辑功能启用，用户们可以很简单地加入这个正在进行之中的项目。在项目管理界面中，你将会在项目名称左边看到一个表明协同编辑已经启用的图标。
The small ‘people’ icon in the lower left of a project thumbnail in the project manager indicates that a project has been configured with collaboration enabled.
//当图中这个小人图标出现在项目管理页面的项目缩略图左下角时，即表明这一个项目已被设置为可协同编辑。

Like previous versions of Resolve, if a collaborator tries to open a project that another user has open and does not have collaboration enabled they’ll be given a warning that the project is in use.
如同此前的版本一样，如果有人打开了一个并没有启用协同编辑的项目，其他用户再试着打开它，将会收到一个此项目正在编辑的警告。
It’s worth noting that a project can be toggled in/out of collaborative mode which is great for times when a project needs to remain private.
值得注意的是，一个项目可以随时切换进/出可协同编辑模式，这对保护一个项目的私密性，或者说安全性是很好的。
Configuring Collaborative User Identities
配置协同编辑成员身份


For collaboration to be effective, it’s important to know who’s doing what. Additionally, user identities are important for Resolve’s collaborative chat feature – discussed next.
为了达到协同工作的目的，一个很重要的点就是，要知道谁该做什么。那成员的身份在达芬奇内置的聊天功能中就很重要了。
After enabling or joining a collaborative project, your first step should be to set up your identity. This is done by clicking the collaboration button.
在启用或者加入一个可协同项目后，你要做的第一步就应该是设置你的身份。你可以在协同编辑按钮中打开并设置。
Your first stop in any collaborative workflow should be the collaboration button – here you can configure your collaborative identity and color to be used throughout Resolve. //在协同工作中你的第一步操作就应该是点击协同编辑按钮，在这里你可以配置你的身份和标识颜色。
In this dialog, you can give yourself a name (real or fake – it’s your choice) as well as give yourself an identifying color.
在这个对话框中，你可以给自己取一个名字，真假随你，还有身份标识颜色也是如此。


The collaboration button allows you to quickly assign a name to your user (remember safe for work!) and see other logged in users. You can even see what OS other users are on.
//在协同编辑中你可以为本用户设置自己的名称，也能看到加入协同编辑的其他人，甚至还包括了别人的操作系统。



 The color choice is important – Resolve only displays user names in a couple places like the collaborative chat window. For every other visual notification of another users activity (more on this later) the color of their user is used.
选择自己的标识颜色是很重要的。达芬奇只会在几个地方会显示你取的名字，比如聊天窗口中。对于其他用户的操作在视觉上的区分主要还是靠颜色来实现。


The color choice that users assign is important as most visual indications about who’s doing what in a collaborative project only use this small icon.
//每个成员为自己选择的颜色很重要，因为大多数时候你只能使用这个小图标来分辨谁在协同工作中做了些什么。


Remember, if you forget who’s who, the collaboration button can also be used to check for other active users on a project and to quickly see what color they’ve assigned themselves.
请记住，要是你忘了谁是谁，在协同编辑按钮中你就可以确认一下在此项目中当前在线的成员信息。
Using Collaboration Chat
使用协作聊天工具
In the previous incarnation of the Resolve, collaborative workflow communication between team members happened as a shout down the hallway, a phone call to the other side of the facility, a 3rd party chat utility, or by walking into to someone else’s room to tell them about what you had done or what you’re planning on doing with the project.
在以前，团队成员之间一起协作完成工作时的沟通一般都是在走廊之间喊几句，要么打电话，或者第三方的聊天工具，甚至走到别人的房间里告诉他你做了些什么，准备做什么。
While not as full-featured as a something like Slack or Google Chat, Resolve’s collaborative chat feature has two big benefits:
虽然达芬奇内置的聊天工具不如Slack或Google Chat那样功能齐全（就别提QQ了吧），但还是有两大优点：
  • It’s accessed directly through Resolve so you don’t have to switch to another application
  • 可通过达芬奇直接访问，无需切换到其他程序。
  • It doesn’t require the Internet – many facilities purposely do not put workstations on the Internet. Resolve’s collaborative chat feature is self-contained, meaning all it requires is the shared database server.
  • 不需要因特网的支持，尤其是很多工作站并没有连上外网。达芬奇协同聊天功能是独立的，意思是它只需要共享数据库服务器就行。
The collaboration chat feature is self-contained within Resolve, meaning that it doesn’t require an Internet connection just a working Resolve database server.
//达芬奇协同聊天功能是独立的，意思是它只需要共享数据库服务器。




Once a collaborative user has configured their identity, messages can be sent just like any other chat utility.


一旦参与协作的成员设置好了他们的身份，就可以像任何其他聊天工具一样发送消息了。




No annoying dings, or pop-up windows here! When you have a new message in collaboration chat the chat icon simply lights up.
//没有烦人的叮当声，没有弹出窗口！ 当你在聊天中有新消息时，只有聊天图标亮起以提醒。




First Served – Bins & Timelines
When it comes to the Media page and opening timelines (on the Edit page, or Fairlight page), the first person to select the bin or open a timeline locks that that bin/timeline for other users (note: any timelines within a selected bin are locked as well).
当你来到媒体页面并打开一个时间线（在剪辑页面或Fairlight页面），对于其他成员而言，Bin或者时间线就被第一个打开它的人锁定了（注意：所选Bin中的其他时间线也会被锁定）
This means that other users can’t make any modifications to metadata or make any edits on the timelines. They can, however, see in progress work (more on that in a moment)
这意味着其他用户不能对元数据进行任何修改，也不能对时间先进行任何修改。 但他们可以看到正在进行中的工作

In this screenshot, I can see that my assistant Catherine is working in this bin because of the blue icon she chose. Bins, as well as timelines within bins, are locked to other collaborators while someone is controlling that bin.
//这个截图中，我可以看到我的助理Catherine正在这一个Bin里编辑，因为出现了代表她的蓝色小图标。Bin以及其中的时间线就被当前正在编辑的人锁定，其他人无法修改。




Collaborators get a visual notification that a user is working in that bin or on that timeline. When the person who first selected the bin or opened the timeline moves to another bin or timeline, those items are available for other collaborators to make changes.


有人在Bin以及其中的时间线中编辑时，参与协作的成员们会有可视化的提醒。当有人完成某个Bin中的工作并移动到另一个Bin中时，其他人就可以对这个Bin进行编辑了。


When the current controller of a bin/timeline makes a change, collaborators will see a refresh icon for the bin/timeline. Clicking this icon ripples changes to clips/timelines out to the collaborator’s own timeline.
当一个Bin或者时间线被某人修改后，其他成员可以看到一个刷新图标出现在Bin或者时间线的名称旁边。点击即可将修改后的部分同步到自己这边。

I had asked Catherine to add metadata to some clips in this footage bin. Instead of a constant stream of notifications about updates, I get this refresh icon. When I click it all her work is visible to me.
//我让Catherine为一些Bin中素材添加了元数据。而不是对她修改结果的实时更新，我只是会看到这个刷新图标。当我点击它我就能看到她的工作结果了。


On the Edit page, you can also quickly identify who’s working on the timeline. In this screen, Catherine sees that I’m editing a timeline.
//在剪辑页面中，你也可以辨认出谁在编辑这一条时间线。在这个截图里，Catherine就可以看到我正在编辑这条时间线。

While there is some interaction needed by users when collaborating on bins/timelines, I understand why Blackmagic did it this way. Editorial changes and changes to metadata can come fast and furious – it’d suck if other collaborators received a constant stream up of updates as it’d be hard to keep up with the timeline changing all the time.
虽然在Bin或者时间线上的协作时，成员之间需要进行一些交互，但我明白为什么Blackmagic采用这了这种方式来实现。元数据的编辑、更改通常都会有大量的修改数据 - 如果其他成员不断地收到更新的内容，对网络和系统都是一个负担，尤其是体现在时间轴上的改变。


Color Page Workflow
调色页面的工作流程


When it comes to collaborative workflow, it should be no surprise that Blackmagic’s new approach shines on the Color page.
一旦来到达芬奇的协同工作流程，可能你对达芬奇调色页面的亮点就不会感到特别地惊讶了。


Gone are the Resolve12.5 approaches of owner/collaborator and having to reload projects, etc.
以前版本中编辑项目的人以及参与者都需要时常重新加载项目来刷新之类的。
In Resolve 14, the first person to access a shot temporarily (while they’re working on it) controls that clip. While they’re working on the shot, every other collaborator will get visual queues that that clip is being worked on (both on the Thumbnail timeline and in the Viewer).
在达芬奇14版中。第一个访问这一条镜头开始编辑的人就有了对这个镜头的控制权。当有人在进行调色工作时，其他成员就会在时间线缩略图和查看器中看到。


When a collaborator (in this case Catherine) is working on a shot, I get a visual icon in the viewer and thumbnail timeline that she’s working on it. Once Catherine moves to another shot I’ll be able to see the results of her work. 当一个成员（比如此时的Catherine）正在对一个镜头调色时，我这边将会看到一个她的小图标出现在时间线缩略图和查看器中。只要她跳转到下一个镜头时我就会看到之前的调色结果。


The work that is applied to a clip is only viewable to other collaborators when the original person who first accessed the clip moves to another shot.
只有当第一个进入编辑的成员完成了这个镜头的调色后，其他人才能看到调色后的结果。
It’s that simple! No refresh buttons, or having to reload a project.
就这么简单！不需要点击刷新，更不需要重新加载项目。
From a workflow standpoint, I’ve found a lot of success so far with me (the lead colorist) well….leading and an assistant following a shot or two behind doing more tedious detailed work.
在协同工作流程中，我发现了很多对调色师很好的一些点。当然…手下的一两个助理就会干更多的枯燥的更细节的活了。
In very time sensitive projects I’ve found it useful to split up the timeline by shot range, handing that work off to two or more assistants, and then I check and refine their work after they move off those shots.
在时间比较紧的项目中，我发现通过拍摄范围来分割时间线是很有用的，将这项工作交给两名或多名助理，然后在他们完成这些镜头后，我再去检查并完善他们的工作。


Shared Stills
共享静帧
One of the most welcomed features from a color point of view in the collaborative workflow is shared stills. Because stills contain a visual representation of a shot along with the actual nodes that make up that grade, they’re a great tool for color collaboration.
协同工作流程中关于调色最受欢迎的功能之一就是共享静帧。 因为静帧包含了一个镜头的画面风格以及组成调色的节点，因此在调色的协同工作中共享静帧是一个很好的工具。
A few things about shared stills:
一些关于共享静帧的点：
  • Having to switch stills folders – I’ve found in the current shipping Public Beta (Beta 2) that stills do update but only after clicking off a saved stills page and back to that page for a saved still made by someone else to show up.

  • Gallery Organization – The gallery can quickly get out of control if everyone in a collaborative project is saving stills. Some thought should be put into how to organize the gallery. I’ve found a good system is a stills folder for each person/system. You may also want to have a master stills page to distribute approved looks.
  • 画廊的管理 - 如果所有成员都在保存静帧画廊可能很快就会崩掉。所以得想办法管理一下。我就发现每个成员都建立一个文件夹各自保存这样会好很多。你也可以用主静帧页面来向其他成员分发参考的静帧。
  • Naming Stills – I often confuse myself saving stills for my individual projects! Naming stills becomes particularly important when working with others. Be as descriptive as possible to let other users know what the still is for and why it was saved.
  • 静帧的命名 - 我自己都经常在自己的项目里把各个静帧搞混。给静帧命名在协同工作中变得非常重要。给静帧取个合适的名字可以让其他人明白这个静帧是拿来干什么的和为什么要保留它。

Shared stills are an awesome feature of Resolve collaboration, but attention must be paid to keeping your still pages organized, as well as labeling stills and getting rid of old ones.
//共享静帧是达芬奇协同工作中一个很棒的功能，但是必须注意的是要保持静帧页面有序的管理，以及标记静帧和及时清理不需要的静帧。


Equally important with shared stills is removing old/not used stills. The more people involved in a collaborative workflow, the more chances that corrections in saved still could be applied wrongly to shots in the color page timeline.
与共享静帧同样重要的是删除旧的或者不使用的静帧。 参与协同工作流程的人越多，错误地把不需要的静帧应用于时间轴上的可能越多。

Collaboration In Action

实践

In part 1 of Getting To Know The Resolve 14 Collaborative Workflow, we explored essential setup and the basics of using the collaborative features of DaVinci Resolve 14.
前文中我们了解了达芬奇14版协同工作的基本设置和功能。
Reading about the concepts is one thing seeing them in action is a different thing entirely!
除了文字教程以外我们还可以看到实际操作演示。
Recently, Mixing Light contributor Joey D’Anna stopped by my studio (in real life we work quite often together) and after squeezing ourselves into the VO booth at my facility, we put the collaborative workflow concepts of Part 1 into action.
在视频中作者将会和他的小伙伴 Joey D'Anna 一起给大家演示前文提到的关于协同工作的一些点。
Here are some of the things we cover:
以下是视频中演示的要点:
  • Necessity of the shared PostgresSQL database
  • 共享PostgresSQL数据库的必要性
  • Setting up a project in collaboration mode
  • 在协作模式下建立项目
  • Joining a collaborative project
  • 加入可协同项目
  • Exploring bin and timeline level locking on the Media and Edit pages
  • 体会媒体和剪辑页面中锁定Bin和时间线的规则
  • Color page clip locking and workflow
  • 调色页面中镜头的锁定和工作流程
  • Shared stills
  • 共享静帧
  • Additional workflow considerations
  • 工作流程中额外需要注意的事项
One thing not covered in this Insight is collaboration and the Fairlight page in Resolve 14.
本文并没有提到达芬奇14版的Fairlight页面以及其协同工作的内容。
To be honest, the Fairlight page is still a work in progress and would be better served once it’s properly built out and demoed in a collaborative sense with an audio engineer who is more familiar with the toolset. Hopefully, in a future Insight, we can do that.
实际上，Fairlight页面还是一个未完善开发的功能，一旦这部分功能完善后和声音部门的协作将会开展得更加地顺利。希望在未来我（作者）还可以撰文来给大家分享这一部分的内容。
Finally, this is a pretty lengthy Insight – clocking in at 25min. We considered breaking it up, but the continuity of seeing the workflow in action is important.
