Potter FTW ! I am a huge Peter Doyle fan .
The way he gives every character a key color is amazing .
People sometimes feel potter is too desaturated, but I think the way he does it it makes the way for the color-telling of the story.
Just don’t watch the 3D version, the glasses take out way to much color .
And yes , a 25% Michal bay orange and teal makes every skintone nice to look at .
Clients love it , when they ask for “natural healthy skin” they actually mean “digital powder”A slice of color…

Very good tip, indeed.
And now everyone, lets watch Aviator again and then the Making of.
The film that made me want to become a colorist 🙂A slice of color…

Well if you have a 4000 and a GT120 already, switching would be best, yes.
But if you can live with the 120’s performance for everything else. the 470 really give Resolve balls.A slice of color…

Gets me vote too.
I actually use stills all the time when it comes to roll and crawl titles.
Just animating them through the canvas in a CUDA powered environment sounds like a dream.A slice of color…

It doesnt , its great !
Its the same performance as the 285 for double the price.
Like most Apple products 😉
its all about the CUDA cores…
The 285 has around 250, the 4000 too, the 470 has 450 and the 480 around 1000.
But the 480 consumes too much power and is impractical for normal usage.
And because neither the 285 nor the 470 has minidisplay ports, they also dont work out of the box as primary cards.
Soooo…to make the long story short.
There are two preferred primary cards :
The GT120 for cheap money and ok performance and the Q4000 for a lot of money and great performance for AE, Smoke, Scratch, Maya, Counterstrike and so on.
And then we have three option to help Resolve :
The 285 for 300 bucks and 250 cores, the Q4000 for 800 bucks and, uhhh, also 250 or less cores and the 470 for 400 bucks and almost the double cores.
Do I need to make a drawing ? 😉A slice of color…

Ok, IF you really want to use Color and AE and Smoke or stuff, a single Q4000 in the main display is your way to go.
Resolves capabilities will be 60% only, but everything else will be cool.
But maybe thats enough to get into it and then you can scale up.
Please refer to the benchmark threads to get a real life overview too.A slice of color…

The performance of the software is outstanding, your hardware is limiting.
The Ultrastudio might give you decent video and and audio capabilities but dont expect decent performance from the iMac card.
But hey, just leech the free one and see for yourself.
SD projects will work fine, HD will work for grading, playback…hmmm..I doubt it.A slice of color…

Forget the ATI, it cant do the fun stuff.
If money is not the problem, ad as many Q4000s as you can.
Minimum one as a dedicated GPU card, or two or three in an extender.
And yeah, there is the GTX 470 which, slightly modded gives you almost double the performance of the Q4000 for half the price.
Its a no-brainer, if you ask me.A slice of color…

I bought the card from this reseller and it took only 4 days from the states to Denmark.
