It doesn’t look as dated as 5.5, but I t wonder if it’s as clunky…

[Dennis Radeke] “picture of the color correction effects that come with Premiere Pro.
Two to point out:
– 3-way CC is thorough and includes secondaries. Not the fastest thing, but it is really good.
– Fast CC is really quick and easy. one click white balance with levels, saturation, etc.“
Perhaps in CS6 you can combine these seventeen colour filters into one speedy interface…

Colour correction FCPX is basic, but quick. Colour correction in PP is basically good, but slow.

Yes, it’s common. Even if you get one that is silent after a gentle knock or two it might start getting noisy. Certainly, some lenses are more susceptible to noise than others.

[Bob Cole] ”
Liam, what do you find most useful about the 70-200? Quite a large lens – I imagine it’s on a tripod or monopod, mostly, anyway, right?another aspect to IS: On Philip Bloom’s web page about lens selection, he states that IS helps with reducing rolling shutter artifacts.”
The 70-200 f/2.8L IS MkII is very sharp and has excellent bokeh. It really is a superb lens, brilliant for interviews where you want to blur the background. For stills it has a quick and accurate autofocus.
It is large and heavy compared to f/4 lenses, so yes it’s always on a tripod or monopod.
Can’t say it reduces rolling shutter artefacts though, that’s a feature of the write speed of the sensor and has nothing to with the lens.

Shoot progressive, but supply interlaced. Simple.

[Bob Cole] “The Canon expert there told me that IS should be turned off when the camera is on a tripod”
That’s hokum.
There is a little optical lag when using IS and it can be a little noisy, but it can be useful on a tripod.
It’s particularly handy during interviews where it gets rid of all those annoying micro vibrations and shakes that transmit their way up the pan handle or if you’re doing a pull-focus without a follow-focus.
Also, there are different flavours of IS – my 70-200 f/2.8L has two IS settings, one works better hand-held, the other seems better when on a tripod.

[Steve Crow] ” If it looked good on your computer then the question becomes why didn’t it look equally good when projected”
Resolution. A cinema screen is a little bit bigger than a computer screen…

Compressor 4 has completely stopped working for me and gone on holiday. Seems to be an issue with QMaster. I’ve tried trashing prefs, reinstalling etc, all to no avail.
It really is a piece of garbage…
