  1. Film grade operates in the current stack colour space, so depending on the chosen working space the printer lights will do a different thing. Basegrade's bump have user customizable a/b ratios and are stack colour space independent. 

    For very small shifts it might be similar, for larger shifts BaseGrade Bumps should give you a more robust result with cleaner blacks.

    Hope this helps.

  2. You can use almost all metadata to build folder structure %{MetaData}. Checkout the little questionmark button  next to the file path to get inspired.

    Also when you create a scene using the scene templates there are a few example deliveries already setup for you.

  3. We are planning to expose many modules as APIs. But like with everything this needs lots of testing.

    We will start with what a typical pipeline TD would need, FileSystem Indexing, handling jobs and scenes, get and set metadata in a scene.

    Even today you can build powerful pipelines using CLIs like bl-conform and bl-shots.

    I hope this helps.

  4. Hi Markus,

     

    try bl-shots on your Baselight, this is a CLI to swap VFX in a Baselight timeline.

    Also, notice that we are introducing:

    - Python API

    - Nuke style %V automated Versioning

    - support for OpenClip

     

  5. Hi Aaron,

     

    In which area are you based, so I can put you in contact with our sales team regarding Baselight.

    About Baselight Editions:

    We have greatly improved shot navigation from within the Baselight Interface in Baselight for Avid 4.4m1. You can navigate, playback, compare and copy and paste grades between shots without leaving the Baselight interface.

    I hope some of this helps

  6. if you use the Truelight Video 1 inverse DRT, this is based on formulas rather than inverse LUTs. It gives normally a much smoother Result if you want to go from display referred to scene referred. This will a very common problem if you have stock or archive footage inside a project that needs HDR Deliveries.

    Also inverse Transforms cannot be avoided in certain situations (for example if you are forced to record film out)

    Simple Formula Matrix Colour Space conversions are used to convert from one space to the other without change the image state really. (scene to scene or display to display space conversion (within one viewing condition)), if you want to change the image state more complex transformations are needed. @Nicolas Hanson Which conversion did you used in the first place to produce the artefacts in your examples?

  7. if the network is unreliable, you can use input caching to only pull the media once. To do so select all stack tops, group grade and then press the little C button in the top right corner of the parameter view. Baselight will cache the input media in 16bit floating point. For quick TV turnarounds this might be overkill, but if you grade several days/weeks on one show it makes grading more stable and also reduces load on the FileServer.
