To get back to the original question, command line rendering (and maybe other stuff) would be quite useful.

Is that a company? Because if it is, boy, did they ever pick a bad name to Google.

Jef, I don’t know where you are, and what quantity of material you want to process, but we have a LaserGraphics ScanStation with a Super 8 gate, which can do actual 2k scans (the camera zooms optically) of S8 material. Send me a message if that’s something that could be interesting to you.

As someone who has a Davinci Revival Pro license, I can tell you that no, this is not what Revival is for, because Revival is not for anything. It’s a uselessly outdated application, and I would not recommend it for anyone.

For color correction, sure. We use Resolve extensively in our restoration workflow, mainly for color correction, but also for some format conversion, etc. For everything else you consider “restoration”, you want something like pfClean.

If “June” works like release dates usually work, you’d probably be better off taking July off to play with it…

To all you Ti Black people, how is performance with one or several Ti Black cards and Red Epic 5k GPU debayer?

Are you sure you’re not running hot? I have seen this problem on my MBP Retina, and it’s helped by simply pointing a fan at it.

At customer request, we did a 4k DCP of a film we did DI on for Cannes last year (La Jaula de Oro, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2042583/combined), and it was relatively painless. We monitored/projected in HD, but did renders in 2k and 4k for DCP delivery. Source material was 3k film scans (VFX was done in the same 3k resolution, titles in 4k).
We haven’t actually done 4k delivery from Red Epic and similar yet, but I’m sure that’s just a matter of time, and since we always do highest quality debayer for final renders anyway, I don’t think it should be a big problem.

Well, gamma is gamma, and there’s only one way to calculate actual gamma. However, some people get confused and use the rec.709 camera encoding curve to decode material, or assume that’s what should be used to linearize rec.709 material, which will indeed change things up. This is completely wrong, though, you should never use the rec.709 curve unless you’re a camera manufacturer. Everything else is (de facto) straight gamma 2.4.
