thanks chet?

My point is that my grades from DaVinci were getting affected too heavily and i did not want to have that happen when applying grain…i know there will be some change but i was not happy with what was happening which is why i thought maybe io was doing something wrong.

thanks

ok so if i add it in AE what advice on settings and how to can you provide as its a long render and I just want to get it right the first time – maybe I’ll just set a 2 minute in/out to try some variations to test.

Any advice on how best to bring it the footage and apply grain would be awesome since fcp seems to not be the ideal workflow.

thank you!

yeah i just wanted more Control because my ProRes444 render out of Resolve is one 13 minute piece – any tips on the actual act of adding grain – steps you recommend – adjustment layer etc – i am a novice with AE its embarrassing 🙁

In DaVinci I can use composite nodes as well to use my AE rendered grain and adjust with contrast accordingly – otherwise grain is not built into Resolve or FCP.

ultimately I was hoping to take away from this whether or not my AE settings for grain were correct and then my application of it in other apps…

can you explain this:

“In Overlay, anything brighter than 50% grey will lighten the image, and anything darker than 50% grey will darken the image. Pure 50% grey does nothing. Your noise on the 50% grey will effectively lighten and darken your image with the graininess, and might be enough to get you through.”

In overlay mode its not just adding grain but also altering the grade itself – how am i meant to adjust this so that its just grain?

After doing more testing I am noticing again that when I add a version 2 just by right clicking and then try to right click and go back to version 1 it resets V1 erasing all of my grades?! I then have to reapply the saved grade for V1 and THEN switching between V1 & V2 works by right clicking.

anyone from BMD out there?! I am very discouraged by the lack of email response to the support email provided in this forum.

well but wait where do you live Kim??

Its all relative to the market you are in – I am in a big city so any of the facilities that charge $1000-1400 an hour my rates are actually VERY reasonable…
