I saw a company selling on eBay the other day based in Cali, doing the same. They’ve also got the 480 hacked and ready.

But damn.

One 470 for about 370$ = 2 q4000 for about $1400.

I know what my upgrade is gonna be.

I always do an “export+” At the end of every day with the client files just incase, this acts as a save as… For me. I completely understand your fears. As I’m more familiar with a file structure style management than database, but i haven’t felt hampered at all. That said I’m running one seat with only 2-3 ongoing projects at a time, but I don’t feel like I’d be overwhelmed running more with multiple seats.

toggle grade on/off with the up/down arrow keys on your keyboard. I only that was on ctrl-up & ctrl-down, and that I could move between nodes with the arrow keys.

July 26, 2011 at 2:03 pm in reply to: Node connection too picky?

The problem Is that there’s no ui feedback to tell you whether or not you’ve actually attached the damn thing. The arrow turns solid as soon as you hover over the node, regardless of whether or not your making a connection.

Just having the link not turn solid until your hitting the spot where you make a connection would be a great help.

Also the ability to just select and copy/paste nodes without having to use stills would be great.

There is a “master session” which has all the clips, and your conform. In the conform window, make sure you’re actually on your sequence.

I’ve done a few round trips with fcp7 and been very happy so far.

I personally have not had that issue with my wave. Two questions for you,have tried messing with the sensitivity? I know I had to mess with it to make it comfy for grading for me.

Also perhaps there’s an issue with your USB connection?

This, combined with the key mixer node, has gotten me there for those glow looks. That said, I do wish there was a way of blurring a key more or having a blur affect rbga instead of just rbg.

But the director of my current feature is raving so I’m a happy camper.

Any interest in parting this out? Or give us ideas on pricing?

Specifically, what would the quadro 4k cost?

July 22, 2011 at 5:52 am in reply to: Quick Question (Color FX Room)

The best way to think about it, coming from color, is to imagine that everything in resolve is in a better version of the color fx room. If you need to put two pieces of a mask together you’ve got your key mixer, etc…

It took me a bit to get my head around it, ( about a month to translate everything and then another 4 months to realize how utterly limiting color was in the first place.) but then I had a background in node based compositing with shake.

Once you grok the nodes, you won’t miss the wonky color fx room, I think. I could be wrong as I hated the color fx room, coming from a shake background.

Thanks for posting this. I wouldn’t have assumed this was the case. It will make things a bit faster as messing with the red stuff on a per shot basis isn’t fun.

Question though, Can you describe how it looks better? Less noise? Smoother curve?
