Do you know what is the difference between the Hue vs. Sat when it comes to global saturation changes? I would believe that lowering the whole line in Hue vs. Sat would be the same as lowering the global saturation but it seems to behave a complete different way. Any idea how this works?

You handle the color management inside of DaVinci Resolve when you create the working files. Set it to Log3G10/WideGamut and render the files. In AE I would simply not modify the clips, simply turn off the color management and I/O same as source.

Back in the days I switched between two Mac Pro's (with a switcher) because I wasn't able to get both Avid and Resolve to work properly on a single Mac. I could edit the GPU configuration file in Avid to use the same graphic driver as Resolve but I think it was early RED days so I had to fit in a Rocket and the space was limited without a Cubix expander etc. So, I went to the store and got back with a HP Z820 and it worked fine the first year. Then it started to shut down whenever it wanted to, the auto updates started to drive me insane, the graphic drivers screwed up everything all the time, I got a lot of connection issues and HP could never figure out the reasons for my problems and fix them. With the years it got slower and slower and now it's finally time to get a new machine. This time I will look into the new MAC and hopefully never look back. What did you pay for your configuration? I hope to get a decent performance out of it without going for the most expensive build.

Finally a course that focus on masks and rotoscoping, thanks guys!

What is the best software to convert a film from 25fps to 29.97fps? Can that be done in Avid or DaVinci Resolve? Any quality difference between them?

Backup your database that van be found in the following folder on Mac iOS. (/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Resolve Disk Database.) I would do a clean install anyway and open the old database.

From the sideline I would suggest that you watch lesson 26 in the editing course just to ensure that the basics of DCP creation is taken care off.

Yeah I've seen that one thanks, just prefer a more general one.

Any introduction courses on HDR and Dolby Vision planned for Lowepost?

Scratch is a great tool, thank you for keeping these quality courses coming!

Yeah, don't watch with Safari it's crap for videos.

Work in rec709 if you don't have a P3 environment. Have you checked the cinema spec? ProRes or DNxHD is often all that is required.

Grading controls bites different on different footage. I'm used to how the image react when swinging the controls on the most common camera formats, and Sony feels strange. Just never liked working on it and the look of it. Not a very scientific answer I know.

Robert, you are asking if anyone have experience with the XAVC and R3D. I have, and I like R3D better. My system works faster with R3D, and it gives me access to the RAW data controls of the files. This might not be the answer you are looking for, but I don't know how to answer this question more objective. You also ask if shooting R3D is a better choice than shooting XAVC. 16 bit and less compression is good but as Amanda states; what is a better choice boils down to what you prefer really but usually you want to have access to as much data as possible.

I just think the promo was dull and it was difficult to read from it what you really learn. I also don't know the guys behind the courses. But listen to Bruno, he has watched the course and you can trust his review.

Judging the promo, I would stay away.

Good to see an editing series by a well respected editor. This is very solid, probably the best one I have seen.

I'm using paint techniques on almost every project I'm working on, because the directors are getting used to that tasks like that can be solved inside of DaVinci Resolve. It's so many new techniques in this course that are very useful to me. To be honest I have never used the tracker in the color tab the way that is demonstrated here and the planar tracker is insane.

I have been waiting for this, bravo!

Glad it worked out Emil!

Guess you have tried that, but after you have generated the optimized media you need to hit "use optimized media" from the playback menu on top.

It's working fine on DR16 Beta 3. Watch lesson 12 in the conform course, everything about optimized media is covered there.

I do also use Adstream for Ad traffic and their tolerance levels for incorrect values are rather high.

Nobody except a very few can afford a Sony X300 or the other grade one HDR monitors on the market, so yes the consumer TVs are what most artists use to practice HDR work.

Did you go to NAB this year @Bruno Mansi?
