Yes, I agree with you.

Well, I like all the chapters and I’d like to learn how to emulate all their techniques.
Mainly I’d like to begin with cha.4 (1’40”);
then with cha.2&6 that seem to be pretty similar (30″ and 2’50”);
and then with cha.3&7 (1’10” and 3’30”).
It seems to me that all chapters are based on heavy color grading + compositing (but in chapter 4 I think rotoscoping is also used). Perhaps it’s possible to do the entire job with AE, or probably it’s better to saparate the job: Davinci, Studio Artist for rotoscoping (or Photoshop?) and After Effects.
Thanks

Thanks a lot!

Just another doubt:

The difference between enabling CUDA in Ae CC2014 vs CC2015 is the location of raytracer_supported_cards.txt file (where you add the name of your card in order to make it recognizable by Ae): the difference is that it was stored into Ae CC2014 Content folder, while in CC2015 it’s in Content/Resounces folder.

Now, I need to find (and update) the cuda_supported_cards.txt file that in Ae CC2014 was in Content folder and now in CC2015 I’m not finding it nowhere.

Really thanks.

Sorry, but I still don’t understand a thing:
Up to now OSX can’t output 10-bit video signal, so we can handle only 8-bit video signal.
So…
1. does this mean that we CAN handle 10-bit video signal through i.e. the Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini Monitor device?
Or…
2. does this mean that even with Blackmagic devices I can only handle 8-bit video signal?

Thanks

[Adriano Castaldini]

It remains a pair of doubts to me:

1. if I set Rec.709 in Working space, which profile should I use for calibrating the monitor itself?

2. Mac OSX is unable to handle more than 8-bit per channel video signal to the monitor, so what is the advantage of use a 10-bit (or more) grading monitor?

Thanks a lot.

[Adriano Castaldini]

So, which are the advantages of activating a Color Working Space in the Project Settings? (When I choose Rec.709 nothing apparently changes in footage’s colors.)

Thanks for your replies.

Dear Gabriele,
sorry if I enter this topic for a personal question, but I see your Apple configuration with 5 graphics card and the Cubix, and I need to setup a workstation essentially to do editing & color-correction in 4K 48fps redcode.
What do I need to do this in real-time (or at least without too many problems)?
1. Why do you need two red-rockets? In your opinion one card is not sufficient for 4K 48fps redcode?
2. I’d like to use an Apple workstation, then using Cubix; so how many Quadro 4000 do you recommend?
3. Using Cubix, can I install also non-mac-compatible pc cards?
4. I want to work with external storage, and Redcode 4K at 24fps is 440Mb/s (55MB/s), then I suppose that at 48fps is the double (110MB/s); so with this required speed which is the solution:
a) Thunderbolt could be sufficient?
b) 2x G-SPEED eS Pro SAS + 1x ATTO 680 card?
c) 4x G-SPEED eS Pro SAS + 2x ATTO 680 card? (as in NAB G-tech demo)
d) other…
And… RAID 0 or 5+0 or other?
5) Which couple of softwares do you recommend fo 4K? Premiere + DaVinci? And is there the possibility to export the video file from Premiere to DaVinci without re-enconding process (or without lossy process)?
Thanks a lot

Thanks Dave, so you confirm that I HAVE TO check the interlace filter in QT setting (by default it’s unchecked).
