I used to have the VT25 as my client monitor (and also at home) they were excellent then the VT30 was even better!
One can only imagine the tech and picture has improved since and I’d consider the Panny plasmas the benchmark for client monitors. If you can afford it it should be one of these to go with your reference monitor.I love them 😉

Sounds like a feature request to me!
The ability to select all in the timeline and move between versions for all shots.
This would be great, for commercials with only a handful of shots its quite quick to change versions on every shot to playback (next scene/next version. next scene/next version etc). But doing on a feature or tv show would be painful.
Maybe in V9??

I used the old Da Vinci panels and now have been using the newer ones for as long as they’ve been available.
Absolutely love them, tried to use a wave at one stage for a small job and I felt disabled by it somewhat!
Whole thing is really solid and really responsive for tiny little adjustments, if you can afford one you’ll never look back.
In regards to the ‘sticky/crunchy’ balls (yeah I know how that sounds!). I had a similar issue on the the last set I worked on. Its not dirt inside it, its actually the mechanism which is an analog style roller system. These can now be replaced with a much smoother optical bracket for the trackballs. Made a huge difference!!
Oh and you can remove the balls if you want to check for dirt, you just need to pry the ring off carefully to access it. Thats how the engineers swapped out the mechanism. Be careful if you do it yourself that the ribbon cables inside don’t get caught or disconnected.Danny Scotting – Senior Digital Colourist

Check that the project timecode in the red settings are the same timecode used in your edit suite?
Has happened to me a couple of times. I think different systems look at different timecodes by default.

When I upgraded I had to update the gallery as well as the database??
Went in to the still page and refreshed to drive and all came good.

If you can’t get it back into Redcine then adjust the iso and render the clip you want changed with handles to dpx, with a unique file name. Then force conform that shot back in. it will then be a standalone clip you can grade separately. Quality shouldn’t be too drastically affected.
