  1. Thank you for the detailed overview Bruno, I will start to dig into every aspect of Fusion now that it is so accessible. It's unstable on my system as well, it might be more solid on a Mac though...

  2. Todays colorists are moving more agains being finishing artists and it's demanded that they can do basic compositing tasks in their tool. Baselight and Mistika are there already. 

  3. A Color Assist works side by side with a Colorist and Color Producer. Developing a close working relationship with the Colorist and Producer is vital and only possible if the Color Assist has an intrinsic understanding of the Senior Colorist's technical and creative methods. 

    Although an Assist reports to the Senior Colorist, they must also have the ability to work and communicate closely with the Color Producers, clients and VFX teams. 

    The Colorists and Assist must establish a highly developed sense of color imagery coupled
    with a strong creative and aesthetic sensibility and an in-depth knowledge of the whole post-production process including current technical specifications of film, video and data formats.

    Responsibilities:

    Preparing suites for colorist arrival

    Ensure projects are fully prepared in readiness for sessions

    Conforming and QC edits for the days sessions

    Contacting editorial to resolve any issues

    Create postings for stills and viewing links

    Manage an always changing list of tasks for the day

    Facilitating any editorial changes and colorist needs throughout the session

    Performing a thorough QC of all projects before and after render

    Complete renders promptly after sessions as required in delivery specs

  5. I got some footage that are shot on Alexa in raw anamorphic. For some reason they have the Sony MXF typing in the browser and inside Davinci Resolve they have the *.wav extention. Any idea what is wrong? The only software I have managed to open the files in are Scratch Play and yes they are not wav files but video files.

  6. I have started to look at the Davinci Resolve color management, and it looks promising. But I have noticed that setting the input color space to Alexa Log C for my source footage or applying a Alexa log to rec709 LUT actually yields quite different results. What is the reason for that? A mathematical reason I guess, but why isn't the input color space option set up to mirror the Alexa Log to Rec709 LUT perfectly as that is what is provided by the camera manufacturer? I mean, they provided this LUT because they want footage shot on Alexa to be transformed that way right?
