  1. Kevin really does a great job on these videos - he's an amazing instructor!
  2. Cool 🙂 . Let me know if you run into anything else! Best, Mazze
  3. Hi Bruno, SCRATCH mainly works on OpenGL (i.e. all color transforms applied inside the app, etc.) . However, debayer (for all raw formats), YUV-conversion, scopes and blurs (from a certain threshold onwards) are calculated using OpenCL. You do not need specific "OpenCL drivers" as such. I assume this is what happened: Windows Update broke the Nvidia driver (it loves to do that) and as such, OpenCL support is missing. If you start SCRATCH and click into the upper half of the screen, an info chart should fold down and show some details. Amongst those you'll probably read "OpenCL: not supported" or something along those lines. SCRATCH will obviously run without, but then revert back to CPU for all OpenCL tasks - which makes things rather slow. Fix is fairly straight forward: Download and install the latest Nvidia driver (or any older version you prefer) and install that. After a reboot, all should be good. Cheers, Mazze
  4. Hi folks, almost forgot to post this one - a new tutorial that shows how to setup the Python bridge between SCRATCH and Nuke 🙂 .
  5. Pretty stable I would say. Not much growth from what I can see, but solid user base and happily chugging along... 🙂 . However, I don't see it being used for edit much (which you can do inside Flame perfectly fine), but really more for online (conform, comp, finishing).
  6. Hi everyone, we have once again two sets of Lustre ACS panels in stock. Both sets are fully functional, ship with power supplies, Wacom grip pen and keyboard stand. Overall condition is good, although they do have their marks and scratches on the soft coated surface. Sets are located in Germany. Please PM me for pricing and/or more information and pictures. http://www.angry-face.com/new-used-acs-panels-in-stock/ Set 1: Set 2: Greetz, Mazze
  7. ... and as per popular request, here's a darker shade of grey. We might actually go with that, after all 😉 .
  8. Here's a little update. I was wondering wether I should also offer the rings in silver - had two prototype sets made. One in plain silver: The other one in a somewhat darker shade (for the sake of fancyness, lets call it 'spacegrey'): Here's black, spacegrey and silver in comparison: What do you all think? What'd be your preference and why? Thanks! Mazze
  9. Forgot to add: Blackmagic RAW support has meanwhilst arrived in SCRATCH and Play Pro: http://www.assimilatesupport.com/akb/Download51019.aspx 🙂
  10. Hi all, in SCRATCH you can add OFX plugins and Matchbox shaders in two ways: Either onto a layer of a shot (i.e. pipe the plugin into the shot), or add it as a new node into the node tree downstream of the current shot (i.e. pipe the current shot/node into the plugin node). More so, you can add plugins and Matchbox shaders to individual shots in your timeline, but also to the complete timeline in the form of an output node (or layer on an output node). Here's how: Cheers, Mazze
  11. Hi all, in this fresh tutorial we're explaining how to send shots from SCRATCH to After Effects and back with just a single click. Enjoy! Cheers, Mazze
  12. Selling a BE8110 HD H.264/AVC Broadcast Encoder for 220 Euros.It's used but it still works just fine.More details here: http://www.telairity.com/product-BE8110.htmlLocated in Groningen, The Netherlands.Can be shipped EU-wide. PM me if interested. Cheers, Mazze
  13. Selling 3 original packaged 3Ality Stereo Image Processors for 19" rackmount. All 3 are in perfect working condition, as new, hardly used. They can also be used as a video switcher for SDI (two inputs vs. one output through either SDI or HDMI). Price (180 Euros) is per unit. Located in Groningen, The Netherlands. Can ship within EU. PM me if interested 🙂 . http://www.3alitytechnica.com/3D-rigs/index.php#sip
  14. Looks good indeed. Just if of interest, I can recommend two tools (freewares) to check DPX metadata: XN-View: https://www.xnview.com DPX Analytics: https://www.mogmoglogic.com/dpxana/feature.html They do a nice job reading out things from DPX files 🙂 .
  15. We‘ve done a first implementation in SCRATCH. Needs a bit more polishing/finetuning, but is generally working :-).
  16. Hi all, as we were sold out just 9 hours after announcing the rings, the next production batch is in the works and expected to arrive mid/end of October. Until then, feel free to pre-order 🙂 . http://www.angry-face.com/product/black-metal-rings-for-the-tangent-element-panel-set-of-4/ Greetz, Mazze
  17. Hi all, in v9 we've added support to read LTC out of the embedded audio tracks in any video clip, and also to sync audio based on LTC - so if either your video, or external audio, or both contain LTC - you can sync it now in SCRATCH 🙂 . Cheers, Mazze
  18. Hi all, fresh new tutorial for SCRATCH v9! We added support for Matchbox shaders, which you can now load into SCRATCH. Free collection available here: https://logik-matchbook.org/ 🙂 . It's pretty awesome - enjoy! Mazze
  19. Hey all, I finally got the first batch of rings ready and sale has officially started: http://www.angry-face.com/de/product/black-metal-rings-for-the-tangent-element-panel-set-of-4/ However, stock is really limited since it's the first batch ;-) . More is on its way, though :-) . Greetz, Mazze
  20. On a side note - here's an overview video (more marketing than tutorial, but, well, gives overview 😉 ).

    GIF-sequences

    You can add dithering in various flavors, though - that at least makes it perceptionally better. However, it also adds to filesize, which, depending on where you're using the GIF, you wanna avoid.
  22. Hey friends, today we released Play Pro - an improved version of the old SCRATCH Play. Play Pro now supports SDI-output, pretty stellar h264/h265 encoding, as well as ProRes encoding on Windows. It's a nice tool to have handy for e.g. dailies review, or simpler transcoding jobs (e.g. for delivery). Starting at 19 bucks a month, it's pretty affordable as well 🙂 . Check it out here: http://www.assimilateinc.com/products/scratch-play-pro/ Hit me up, if you have any comments, questions, suggestions! Cheers, Mazze
  23. Hey everyone, Jonny Elwyn did a nice write up on his blog, going through conform and color in SCRATCH as a first time user. Great read for anyone who is contemplating taking a look at SCRATCH 🙂 . Here you go: https://jonnyelwyn.co.uk/film-and-video-editing/assimilate-scratch-v9-beginners-guide/ Enjoy, Mazze
