Capture Location
Before you begin a film scanning session, scroll down to the 'capture info' section of DaVinci
Resolve's film scanner panel to make sure the scanned files are being saved to the directory
and volume where you want them. Click the 'browse' button and choose a location from the file
destination dialog. It's good to do this first, as this step is easy to forget.
Capture
When you have a Cintel Audio and KeyKode Reader fitted, this menu gives you options for
'audio only' so no images will be captured, or 'image and sound'. Alternatively, you can capture
'image only' if audio is not important.
Resolution
The resolution of the capture files depends on the source film format so this field cannot
be edited.
Codec
DaVinci Resolve selects the 'Cintel Raw' codec for lossless compression by default, or you can
choose 'Cintel Raw 3:1' for even smaller file sizes.
Film Frame Rate
Specify the frame rate that the film was originally shot at. DaVinci Resolve automatically
adjusts the timeline frame rate based on this value. This setting is unrelated to capture or
transport speeds.
When using the optional Audio and KeyKode Reader accessory to scan audio, the reader will
automatically adjust for frame rate to maintain an overall sample rate of 48kHz. Timecode output
is supported for 16, 24, 25 and 30 fps, and for other frame rates no timecode signal is outputted.
The 'capture info' panel lets you specify
metadata for your scanned clips
