Several issues encountered in Creative Review

[Beta] Creative Review

First, it’s welcome to be able to compare in SG, thanks.

Here are the issues I am encountering:

  1. Misalignment of compared elements. When I compare elements with the same framerange (i.e. retime against offline), one of them is offset by one frame and comparing becomes useless.

  2. We lost the text tool, the arrow tool and the shape tool in the annotations tools. Are you planning on bringing them back?

Thank you.

Hey Sergei,

Thanks for the feedback. Can you provide some additional information regarding these items, specifically for the misaligned frames? Screen shots, file types, versions workflows. All the info helps us narrow down the issues so we can take a look into them.

Cheers

Hey Elliott,

Sorry for the late reply, I think this issue with misaligned frames is related to the slate frame. Instead of taking actual frame numbers into account, Creative review aligns versions from the starting frame. So all our shoots start at x1001 but some versions that get sent to client have a slate frame at x1000. When you compare those 2 kinds of versions, x1001 gets aligned with x1000. That does not happen in rv.

Cheers

I’m pretty sure this is fine but have you checked that your timecode properly reflects the frame number?

i.e. 1001 = 00:00:40:01
1000 = 00:00:40:00

I haven’t. Not even sure how to since we are not using timecode but frame numbers. I’ll check in nuke.

I believe Creative Review relies on the timecode of a movie file to display the frame number.

It’s a common practise in VFX workflows to embed the frame number as timecode in the file.

At 24fps, frame 1001 equates to timecode 00:00:41:17
