MC does not clip/crush, and reads the media directly.. so really no issues atall

it would be nice, but the Hyperdeck Shuttle doesn’t have Wi-Fi. If we could remote it through a wireless app (like the one for the Gopro)…
but I think we have to wait for the Hyperdeck Shuttle 3!Yes, i was thinking more about using the Android/iOS device attached through USB… so a port to Android OS for the software is the request
At the price i’ll craigslist my two ShuttleV2’s and just buy V3 when it appears.. seems a small price to pay for developing features that i can use

Juan’s tutorial is great….
still this is one are where Mystika, Pablo & DS shine, mainly due to being able to modify the effect’s values, track & mask the generator point.. it’s good to see Resolve’s tools take a substaintial step up
My answer would be to do it interactivly, all at the same time, but i don’t use Resolve, and this is the reason why 😉
OFX host in Resolve would be a big help for sure in this scenairo

i don’t grade episodic (my focus is indie features and MOW’s), but a facility i freelance at does, the workflow there is to use AFE to Avid|DS and grade in that… it keeps the timeline and effects floating, and gives you real tactile feedback with the surface, real secondaries & node based gradeing for more advanced stuff
Works for the producer’s who stay inside the Avid familly (AFE is by far the best conform from MC, it takes a ton more information than an AAF that resolve {and everyone else but DS} uses), and gives you better gradeing tools…. although of what i’ve seen of episodic there’s not alot of time for much beyond dammage control and a title seq…
Baselight would be worth exploring too.. as soon as it’s on w7, i’ll be there

or;
– MC+Baselight+Fusion has no roundtrips, same timeline with VFX, editorial & grade
– PP /AE / SG, back to roundtrips tho, cheaper than the other two, again runs on the same backbone
– wild card would be Lightworks + Resolve, absoultly free if you can live inside the limitations, and the least cost if you get the paid versions
– smack/Resolve is about the same cost as MC/Baselight/Fusion, but roundtrips only, and runs on incompatiable hardware.. both can be worked around, but why be forced into a restrictive workflow when options exist?And, and if learning software that is threatened by EOL, then AD noted that if the current smack is the market fail that prevoius versions were, it’s gonna be joining Toxik, Combustion & Edit in the ashcan of history
If you are looking at Flame/Luster combo, then you are budgeting into Mystika, Pablo & Baselight/DS combo arena, and at that level of investment should be under consideration as well

I too sent a note to Kristan asking if there was an update avb for the box’s i own currently, or a new box coming soon that will address this issue, so far i have not had a reply

I have not had a lab charge me for provideing a LUT that is in their format.
The rub is when THEIR lut format is not MY lut format.. and it seem fair enough to charge me for creating the transformed LUT, someone has to buy the software to do this and charge for it’s use.. that’s fair game in my books
It does not help if (as was one case) they used a propriatary LUT format that Truelight creates.. fortunatly for me Avid DS has “LUT builder” bundled with it that cracked the Truelight LUT cleanly
The other option was to spend coin on getting it done by a service provider, or buying software to do the same job.
Or i guess as Truelight hopes, force me to buy their LUT box… i hate being blackmailed 😉

+1 to what Dan said… and will add that one on feature i had three LUT’s provided by the lab, as they were changing their chemistry at the time… a film emulation LUT is only good for the project you are working on & lab you are working with
But most compositing software has 1D LUT’s for viewing comps through, maybe grab something from one of those to play with?
Not very accurate in terms of wysiwyg, but that’s not your target
-
ummmm… maybe a LUT in your monitor, or in a box like the BMD HDlinkPro before your monitor?
very simple & elegant answer really…

i also use the HDlinPro with DS, and have the same issues, but maybe less of them… have returned one and the replacement is a bit more stable, i can work for a few days without an issue, then it goes away again…
mostly i stay in one format all day tho, and switch from 444 to 422, and back.. some times the BMD works, some times it won’t until power cycled.. it’s pretty rare for me to switch frame rates tho, usualy i’m in true 24 or 23.98 and stay that way for days and days
i do have an older Aja box beside the BMD, my fallback position.. the Aja is 422 only, but is as reliable as a sledgehammer.
