@John Parker Hey John, 

I was wondering if I am using FC Nitrate for grain only, will the grain still be applied correctly to a log image, in terms of your luma based algorithms for applying the grain? I have selected Arri LogC  for my profile, and just was curious with film color and contrast turned off and grain at 100 strength, is the grain being applied based on the log luma values, and is 100 strength considered the most true representation of the film grain when taking the algorithm into consideration? I am going after an authentic workflow, so I apply my grain to my log/negative image and then add my PFE. I read your grain is applied to the color channels and luma values through an algorithm that accurately mimics real film grain.

You can write them about it - they will sell you the luts (which were in the original version) in cube form, or they did for me at least.

I have been searching everywhere for a good method of doing rolling shutter repair/removal but haven’t had any luck. Any ofx plugins or methods people recommend? The best i found was a fuse from 2012 for Fusion(I dont really know fusion yet, but could maybe dabble for a single premade effect)..but i could not make it work, and i also read it may not work with future updates. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Awesome! Thank you!

Awesome! Thank you for the update - I am looking forward to this one.

Hi Karl, we are still working on it but it will be out next month.

Any word on this??

@John Parker Thanks, John! Yeah I have tried Juan's tutorial which has worked decently well for me. Can't wait to have correct camera profiling to bring out a more accurate film match!

@John Parker Any update on when the cineon scans will be available? Excited about this one..

@Jussi Rovanperä Ahhh very good to know! Those bits of info aren't always easily available, so thanks for clarifying!

I see a lot of talk about people suggesting linearizing footage in between colorspace transforms for more accuracy. My question is if this process is still necessary with CST in resolve, since it works differently than luts would. I am simply trying to go from Rec709 to Cineon Log gamma and curious if linearization between this conversion would help, i.e. Rec709 to Linear then Linear to Cineon Log. I am grading under a PFE if that makes any difference to anyone. 

@Jannik Altgen @Nicolas Hanson

Thank you for the explanations! I understand what Emily was saying now. 

@Emily Haine Sorry for the naivety, but could you elaborate a bit on what you mean by pivoting the deepest blacks toward mids? Or more so, what is the best tool to make this adjustment? I guess I am unclear on if you literally mean bring your black point up or something else.

Thanks,

Jeremy 

@Emily Haine I just signed up the other day! Im excited to learn fusion, it will be such a valuable tool.

@Nicolas Hanson Thank you for the response. Glad to know I am on the right track - I definitely want to become more familiar and versed in Fusion, it seems super powerful.

Hello all,

I am attempting to add a light ray matte effect in Resolve, to create the effect of light rays cutting through a window in early morning. I am adding the matte as an actual file to my second layer in my edit panel and changing the blend mode to Screen from there, rather than adding the file to the media pool as a matte(perhaps this is the wrong way to do it?). The issue I am having is that my shot moves on a gimbal and I am trying to pin the matte overlay in place so it doesnt move with my shot. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to paste my point tracking data onto the matte clip (when I copy the data and then click paste on the matte file nothing happens) - or perhaps there is a better way to do it?? Any and all suggestions are welcomed! Thanks in advance for any help you could provide!

Man this is super helpful - I just tried these techniques and they have gotten the effect I want almost perfectly. Thanks a ton for the help!

@Orash Rahnema Thanks a ton, very helpful! I really appreciate you taking the time to show me how it works. 

@Orash Rahnema Thanks for the reply! I saw the edge detect ofx in resolve, but could'nt figure out exactly how it works as a mask...ive seen others talk about using it that way. Would you mind explaining the node structure to make it work as a mask? 

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on simulating film halation, i.e. the red fringing around high contrast edges - I find it to be a very pleasing effect. I understand how to create highlight blooming, which is sort of what people think of when you say halation - but the effect (which seems it is probably a bit trickier to create) of red fringing around edges is really what I am after. I have attached an image for reference. Any pointers or tips would be super appreciated!

Cheers!
Jeremy

Right, but i spoke to them recently after Juan’s tutorial and they said they will be releasing print density versions of the film stocks without the print applied, so essentially a cineon file I believe.

I tried @cameronrad 's method through the icc profile, using AE color profile converter and it seems to produce a pretty darn nice looking cineon file, fairly close to the look of what I was getting through @Juan Melara 's tutorial on FC hidden film mode (minus the difference in film stocks, Juans tutorial is like the first quality cineon emulation I have come across online, visioncolor is kind of garbage once you really start messing with it). Definitely seeing the extra saturated greens that help counter the yellowish shift from FPE. I in know way claim to be an expert on what film stocks SHOULD look like or how accurate Adobe's Kodak icc profiles are, but I definitely like the results I am achieving.

What I find interesting is the lack of quality film stock emulation on the web, but burried in AE is this profile that seems to work really well and not much info on it. Certainly far better than anything from VisionColor. FilmConvert has been reborn for me after Juan's tutorial, and they told me they should have Print Density profiles implemented before the end of the year. Very cool!
