PFC will do the job, but it is pricey, we have Phoenix, that will also fix splice jumps while we’re
at it, but that is even more expensive 😉 (but really, really good – but then I would say so…)Alternatively – download Fusion – it can help out a lot, depending on how the material was scanned
you may or may not have sprocket holes to help. Track the frame corners on one side.If the film was a reprint, there is a chance that even using the sprockets won’t work since the image
is moving relative to the actual film. As a last comment, if you are doing restoration, make sure you
stabilise the frame, you don’t want to change the content of the film (unless required) by fixing the
camera movement.Patrick

Artist colour…
Small buttons (too small) and not enough of them, the rings and balls aren’t very nice to work with, the rings are almost flush with the surface of the controller and the balls are easy to hit by accident when working with the rings
Ethernet connectivity is a real pain.
And the balls fall out when you turn it over.
I would spend a day with it if you couldMy opinion.

I always look down on the IPAD….but thats because I’m an Android user….
Agree with Jake, the beauty of panels is watching what you are doing while doing it, otherwise it’s like texting while driving, you never know what horrors might occur.

Thank you for the mention Jake
Phoenix is a amazing piece of software to have in your arsenal when restoring material, but as many will tell you, no one package solves all problems. Revival has I believe reached the end of it’s useful life, the guys at MTI do amazing work and so does HSArt with Diamant, and rounding it out is PFClean.
We are working on Thor, which is a hardware accelerator for our algorithms, that will dramatically speed up processes.

Hi there Patrick
First – Colours to the mast – I work for Digital Vision as a product Specialist – Done 😉
Restoration is a fascinating field of work and I would not worry too much about platforms and software.
I would say that you should learn all you can about film, theory and practical, since physical restoration forms a part of the process as well, formats, film types, processes.
There are many different applications for doing restoration work, and typically not all of then offer the same tools, Revival, PFClean, Diamant, MTI and Phoenix are just some of the more well known pieces of software out there, not forgetting PS, After Effects and generally anything else that can load an image.
Whatever gets the job done.
Good luck forwards, restoration is fascinating and can be very rewarding.
Some info on the Restoration summer school in Italy…maybe a starting point for more information.

I would guess that although editors think reel names are passe….
Us in the reel world (see what I did there) still use them for merging grades. I work for Nucoda but have seen this before from editors.
I would think that the Resolve would use Reel ID to link to grades as well. Might be wrong.
Copy Paste Copy Paste Copy Paste is my guess…..

Flag to the mast.
I work for Image Systems and we make the Nucoda range of colour grading tools.However I am also a colourist and started as online editor on Avid DS, and have been around longer than I care to admit.
Bottom line, say what you want, clients want to pay less. To be realistic, the old “operator is the key” rhetoric is to make operators feel better (I say the same), clients will happily try and do it themselves, look what happened to “offline” editors….we are storytellers they cried, it is an art (and it is), but directors just started hacking their own stuff together anyway, now they will grade it as well.
As for support question raised in the last post.
I am proud of the research we do into working with other systems, and I am always open as to what is possible and what not with a system, unfortunately support and development for professionally used software costs money…and thats the bottom line.
