Yet another update for Resolve

[Herb Sevush]

[Steve Connor] “No need for Quicktime on Windows machines if you want to use ProRes now.”

You mean for reading ProRes files. I’m assuming it still can’t write ProRes on Windows 10, correct?

Correct. This feature only refers to native ProRes decode.

Yeah I’m still waiting for the export Pro Res function… I think Assimilate Scratch has Pro Res export on Windows?

It was at a Vegas premiere that I resolved to become an avid FCPX user.

Yes, it does. This has been our go-to for ProRes deliverables. NUKE also renders ProRes on PC as of version 9. I think Nucoda has an official ProRes implementation, too, but we don’t use that so I don’t know firsthand.

At this pace one wonders what version 13 will bring.

Maybe an editor one can trust? Got a ways to go, IMHO…

Classical Blackmagic…

Keep adding features… introduce cool stuff, yet still do not really fix core issues.

Case in point – their Ultrastudio Software playing content out from FCPX will randomly just crash the software. Have to install an older version (12 months ago) to stabilise things…

A client wont care that its just ‘Blackmagic glitches’ that cause their content to suddenly disappear off a Video Monitor… they will just think we are using unstable software.

Then lets look at their camera range and the myriad of issues there.

I really like Blackmagic and Resolve is an amazing Color Grading solution… but they need to concentrate more on fixing things than rather just adding bells and whistles….

In the church I work at, we have a truckload of BMD hardware, including a 2 M/E switcher. It was inexpensive to purchase, so that made it enticing for us and so many others.

In the long run, it’s just cheap junk.

A look at the BMD website, would make you think that their products are the cat’s meow. After all that’s what good marketing does. But in reality they seem to be a company with an unsustainable business model, with engineering resources stretched amazingly thin.
I think in the long run, it would benefit Blackmagic to raise their prices, double their staff, and truly become the company they really want (and can) be.

Until they do that, I am going to try do de-BMD my building as fast as my budget will let me.
Just my opinion.

I went back to 11 to stay within the color realm of things.
