  1. Any updates on if BaseGrade will be implementet in future versions of DaVinci Resolve or if this is a patented feature that we can assume will stay a Filmlight tool only?
  2. Very useful information. Does any of you have any experience with the colourspace OFX plugin for this kind of use?
  3. A creative look-up-table comes with modified properties like a certain degree of saturation, print tone scale etc, which mean that it will set the balance off from the first time it's applied. You could balance the image, use a inverse LUT to set it back to Log again and then apply your creative LUT at the end of the chain. That said, t's more common workflow to use a normalization LUT and dial in the preferred look manually.
  4. Is it correct that applying a custom curve on log material 'transform' it to Video Gamma and not Linear? I understand that Linear is of the form y=Ax+C while Video gamma is of the form y=Ax^C, but what is the practical difference?
  5. Sometimes you can deal with spill or bad edge details by doing a garbage matte around the problem area followed by a second pass to take care of what was left in the first pass. Other times it's not possible to do a clean enough key and roto is the only option.
  6. Good evening everyone. What is your favorite movie? 😊
  7. Connect the high resolution screen back in to change the resolution.
  8. I would think that highlight controls will do exactly that, but @cameronrad could might elaborate more on that?
  9. William, the Warper tool seems promising. Do you know if it's possible to lock points in a way that let us bend or stretch only parts of the grid while leaving the rest untouched?
  10. Strange pattern, would guess it was related to the graphic card. Have you solved the issue?
  11. Can't wait to give it a go, thank you so much for the detailed answers.
  12. Reducing midtone details is widely used on beauty spots and is a really great way of smoothing skin. I'm generally not happy with package tools, but I have to say that I'm impressed with the new face track tool in DR when it comes to mapping lips, eyes and cheeks. The white inside the eyes could be difficult to highlight with traditional tracking but this tool analyze pretty complicated compositions and it has helped me many times.
  13. That is so great, thank you Willian!
  14. In Baselight we have a tool that lets you stretch parts of the image by pulling the lines of a grid. Very useful for beauty work. Does DaVinci Resolve have a similar tool?
  15. Many well established colorists in France, and lot of high-end work in all genres. Have you decided to move?
  16. You can connect two Resolve systems by sharing IP addresses and ports. That can be done inside the apps and is a one step procedure, but it would require similar setups on both systems when it comes to conform. If the client dosen't need to touch the controls from wherever he's watching the session, you don't need to connect the systems, simply send a live stream from your system with Streambox or a simlar tool.
  17. Ship and stream the session through Streambox is a common way to do 'remote'. Does not require much more than a calibrated monitor.
  18. I like working with analogue flares shot on black. Cinegrain got some great ones.
  19. Djawadi is great, with mysterious depictions from the far east. Hans Zimmer for more pop modern.
  20. Hi everyone! Do you have experience with the Facilis Terrablock system?
  21. I don't think that's an option, but I tend to use 'empty plates' between clips to separate versions and cut downs as that keeps my timeline better organized. This comes in handy if I receive EDL / XML's from editors with several versions on one single timeline. If I create the sequences myself I make sure to make one timeline of each version and keep track that way.
