Ok great thanks John, any one know how best to do this in latest version of AE CC – I am hoping to compare the quality between the apps and report back my findings in this thread.
Cheers

Thanks andy so how best to do this in resolve exactly?

[Andrew Smith]

Thanks for the reply – just curious to respond, its coming from fcp7 xml and is 1080p 23.98, I am grading with 2.39 output blanking ON in Resolve.

They want two:

1) 1080 full frame w/out 2.39 crop
2) 2048×858 w/ 2.39 crop

I have both Resolve and AE CC – can you possibly explain in a little more detail how to do in both apps so I can compare quality/results?
Thank you

+1 yes please stop changing keyboard shortcuts!

Thanks for the reply Marc!

rec.709 for project yes as that is what my broadcast monitor is set to but my master settings in camera Raw I am thinking to have as Sgamut/SLog2 and start from there.

I am noticing very different responses to different approaches.

It seems an s-curve>LGG>Sat order of nodes doesn’t pop or look as good as using either the LUT provided in R10 or even just using contrast/pivot with Offset. What do you guys recommend for best results?
Thank you
Andrew

Import into FCP7 if you can – that should ‘wash’ it and allow you to recreate an xml split into reels and further investigate from there.

Thanks for the responses everyone, really appreciate the help.

Quick reminder this is for RED job. I am curious if RedLogFilm would be the best starting point and really the intricacies of node structuring and whats happening in each and why.

I actually came across the 3-strip thread on LGG and here on the Cow in my research for Kodachrome after first posting this but was not totally sure about how similar the results would be and also how in Resolve V10 things may have changed for approach and technique (i.e. using rgb splitter combiner node, plugins or any other new tools).

I guess I am just still wondering what is going on in each of the nodes and how to adjust and use these complicated node structures to dial in Kodachrome and Technicolor 3-strip looks. The screengrabs of your node structures while impressive, are also really daunting to look at without knowing what each node is doing and how I would actually grade a RED job with this and dial in adjustments as needed.

Any help further info (i.e. posting some drx’s 🙂 would be amazing!
Thank you
Andrew

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the reply!

Can you expand on “isolated color and used soft clipping” ideas or point me to that old forum thread – i cant seem to find it? I wonder with the new RGB mixer in R10 if that changes strategies a bit, if people can chime in with creative ideas?
Thank you

I would actually keep the 680 (4gb or 2gb version?) if you can and use it for GUI and just sell the 5770, still get 1 or 2 more Titans for the cubix paul is right! Just make sure to uncheck the reslve preference option to use gui for gpu option so it doesn’t slow down your Titans.

[Andrew Smith]

Where exactly are these options you are saying to click – can you be clearer?
thanks
