Just got some info from Adobe that fixed the problem.

Here are the notes:

Fixing Gamma shift

Step1- check the properties of the clips from the project panel (left bottom side) then please check the color space{example:- video has rec 709 or HLG 2100}.

Step2 – then click on the timeline panel on the right hand side of the bottom then right click of the mouse then >properties then check it the same video has same color space after confirming it.

Step 3:- then go on the sequence setting >then check for the color space then match with the same clip example on seq setting it set on rec 709 but the clips has color space on HLG 2100 match it with the clip color space.

Thank you Hector. That makes sense to me. I’ll try your suggestions.

Thanks, Warren. Appreciate your comments/honesty!

FYI: Here’s what I was trying to do the time lapse of.

Hi Todd. The rig is working great. And I thought you might like that I caved and did both the cheese plate and the eye hook in the ceiling. Def glad I did both!

Here are a few vids we did. More to come!

BTW, I meant to adjust (slightly re-drill) one of the holes in the cheese plate, not camera plate.
But you probably knew I meant that!

Also, another thought to add some strength. Put a bolt on top of the 3/8 going into the cheese plate.

And thanks again, Todd!!!!
I owe ya big time!!

Okay, I think I’m getting close! (Who knew it would be so complicated?)

Just got my FilmTools package with bolts, steel pins, and cheese plate.
I’m thinking that this is stronger. Everything is terminating with 3/8 ” threads (into the camera and into the cheese plate).
I can even grab some 1/4″ bolts from Home Depot to screw both the 3/8 and 1/4 into the camera plate (It does have both). I might need to adjust one of the holes in the plate a bit, but it’s almost there.

With the cheese plate snug against the camera, and the surface-to-surface contact there, it does feel less precarious than just a 3/8 ” thread sticking out of the camera. and the thread on pin going into the cheese plate does feel more substantial than the thread in the camera. I don’t know if the laws of physics corroborate my hunch?

So…with this, do you think I can squeak by without the dreaded hook in ceiling (be honest—I trust your experience/opinion and I’d rather have a hole in our ceiling than a camera crashing down on the talent).

Okay, just taked to Matthews again and here’s what they recommended.

To attach camera to clamp, use this with a hex which fits the mafer better:

And then this to connect camera to pin:

Then I have 3/8 going into the camera.

I’m going to bet you recommend still running a line to the ceiling, right?

Todd, if I wanted to do the cheapest (solid) cheese plate option, do you have a recommendation for which parts to cobble together? Still trying to avoid, if possible, the hole in the ceiling.

Really (really) appreciate your help!!!

Thanks, Dan

what about this?

Phew! Glad I asked you.
So, I actually do have the bronze pins. Do you think the D810 (full frame DSLR) is okay with the Bronze?
I’m going to try to avoid putting holes in my ceiling ☺

The pin you suggested from B&H is on backorder, and I was hoping to shoot this weekend.

How about this one from Adorama that seems to be in stock?
