Documentation Issues - Summary June 2024

And your comments especially in the color management documentation are quite thorough, even to grammatical errors.

I appreciate both the thoroughly detailed comments you make (which "Adobe" needs to learn how to do!) and, as a former English Lit major, you understanding of proper grammar. How you say something can so affect the perceived meaning!

I work daily in both PrPro and Resolve. BOTH have documentation issues, but about the opposite cause.

Adobe's documentation efforts are low-end, as in, very little there, if anything, and will be more a list of a few things you could do with something, than giving you exactly what something does, with alternate methods of application given in examples.

The latter would be actually, you know, useful ... ah well.

BM prepares a 4,000+ page pdf file,  with a bare TOC at the beginning, no index ... and is exhaustive in covering many functions and options of the program. However, as so many things have an "exclusive BlackMagic" name attached, like "power windows" for masks ... 

... if you don't know their name for something you will never find it! 

So you waste time in Adobe's documentation before giving up because they don't have what you need, and wasted time in Resolve's documentation before you give up because you can't find what you need.

I suppose in general I prefer Resolve's no-index, oddly named but overkill docs to Premiere's.

And thanks for pointing this out, month by month, glaringly obvious ...
