  1. Thank you guys, and yes I'm in Resolve @Jussi Rovanperä
  2. I have a complicated shot where I would like to reduce a natural bright light from a window behind the subjects back. When the subject move closer to the camera (away from the window), the 'halo' is reduced and it's easier to get a cleaner separation. I have tried the curves in a number of combinations and the soft clip controls without getting to any satisfiying result, but you might have some other inputs?

  4. I get ProRes 444 XC log material all the time and I use to balance it out and do the log to lin transform manually. Any LUT's that will set this material back to the linear as shot condition?
  5. So IMDB is wrong? "The film is here in its entirety but has been carefully processed in black and white by Miller and chief colorist Eric Whipp. Max’s desolate world of the future looks even bleaker and less welcoming in two colors but, interestingly, the grays, the in-between tones actually allow you to assess characters and situations through fresh eyes. - Robert Greenberger"
  6. Coloring super red lips in 6K. Guess life was easier for make up artists in SD world.

  7. I usually export a CMX3600 with all meta data information from the Avid list tool and hand it over to the color department. Will all the timewarps added on the Avid timeline survive the transfer? Does it exist a list of the effects that can be transfered through EDL?
  8. Great, I will download Clipster and get to know it.
  9. Welcome Dermot! Maybe @Andy Minuth or @Andreas Brueckl can help you with this one?
  10. Does Clipster retain all the image information and pay attention to color spaces etc?
  11. Defintely one of the best Superbowl spots this year
  12. You always got Alexis Van Hurkman's Colour Correction Handbook. Just make sure to buy the latest (2.nd I guess) edition. If you are looking for high end stuff, you got an enormous amount of creative techniques and knowledge behind the premium walls on this site.
  13. DCP-o-matic is great, and has some code copy-pasted from OpenDCP for those who are familiar with that.
  14. Great with the new DNxHD enhancements!
  15. I just saw La La Land, what a beautiful movie!

  16. Thank you very much guys, I ended up working with the linear images. I used a combination of curves followed by lift, gamma gain to get closer to the rich contrast that was baked into the film emulation LUT. It's a shame that the invert LUT doesn't work any better than this because I like to work this way.
  17. I'm setting up the basics on a music video with the following structure as the video is shot linear. Linear to Cineon Log New node with a film emulation and at the same time putting it back to 709 When transforming the materiale to Cineon it creates some strange chrome artifacts on her lips. I have not managed to "roll it back" when working on the first node. It looks like it's created in the transformation. Any tips on how to deal with this?

  18. Hi! Are the log grading tools (or film grade) the same on all system? I remember the negative fuzz when log grading was introduced on DaVinci because it was not "true" log grading. What is the status on these tools today?
  19. That's some really great tips Yoav, thank you!
  20. Hi Cameron, can you please explain what the frequency separation is all about?
