    Well, I took the plunge, and the results are so-so. As you said there’s a crashing problem with Fusion. I do like that you can open multiple timelines in tabs, among other tweaks to the interface (I also like that you can open a LUTs panel and scroll over a LUT to see the effect on your clip.

    The one thing that pisses me off is, the official v.15 youtube video shows an audio effect called Noise Reduction. It’s listed in the user manual, but it doesn’t show up in the list of effects. Grrrrr….

    Anyway, I would recommend that you guys who do this for a living stay away. It still has some tweaking that needs to be done.

    But I like using color page secondaries to key. It’s really easy and I get great keys. Also it’s been months since I’ve come up with any new ideas for green screen comedies. I downloaded the trial version of Fusion and it looked nowhere near as intuitive as After Effects. Who knows, I may get the bug by the time 15 is out of beta.
    Cheers!

  • Hey! If I wanted sarcasm I’d have lunch with my mother! ????

    So I guess I’ll wait until it’s out of beta as well. I got a good thing going here, no sense in messing it up for a feature I’ll probably never use (Fusion).

  • Of course! I wouldn’t want to deprive the world of my original out of camera copy of “I Am A GH5 179d AF Fix Addict”! ????

    So then my next question is, if you were to install the beta of v.15 how would you do so? And do you plan to?

    Hmmm? What? Oh, sorry. I don’t care about this anymore. I’m makin’ paper airplanes! ????
    Seriously, Chris, you lost me a while ago. While I appreciate your level of knowledge I know I’ll never get that anal, for lack of a better word, about color grading to within an inch of legally acceptable levels. When I think about it, except for that weird video of mine that sort of went viral, and which received a lot of praise for its skin tones, believe it or not, no one will ever watch my stuff except me so I might as well make it look good on my monitors.

    Cheers!

    ok, great. Now, you see that dominant tree behind me “stage left”? On my monitor it’s a golden brown, and the entire image has a golden yellow tint to it. Is that how it looks on your monitor? The tree is actually grayish. If that’s how it looks on your monitor then I can just adjust my monitor so it looks more true to life and I’ll be as calibrated as someone like me needs it to be.

    Yes, that’s the part for adjusting contrast and brightness, the tv controls. I can’t get it to match the “ideal” settings no matter to which extreme I adjust them.

    I know about Disney Wow. Come on Chris, you know I’m just a kid ???? Remember, my only question was whether my vectorscope has to be on the skin line if my skin tones are good. Anyway, have fun playing with the uncorrected V Log still. I’m curious to see what it will look like on my screen.

    Even though this is a Samsung 4K HDTV, it’s a bitch to calibrate. The built in Windows calibration doesn’t work. When I try to fix the gamma so that the black circle disappears, it never does, not even close. Same with contrast and brightness. I can not get it to the recommended sample shots. So…. I’ll give your test pattern a try. In the mean time here is an uncorrected straight out of the camera V Log version of the still you guys have had so much fun playing with. Maybe it will be easier for you to tweak.

    On my monitor, your example has a greenish tint to it. The skin tone is good but everything else veers towards green. And looking at the example I put up, it looks nowhere near as good as what I have been getting. I don’t know why it’s tinted towards blue that much.
