    July 18, 2011 at 12:32 pm in reply to: Group grading, or better, overall tweaking

    Thanks guys, that’s what I kinda wanted to avoid.
    The grouping makes a lot of sense when done in the beginning and actually, because I am using a predefined color tree it would work.
    For now I think the adding node might be the easiest and more save.

    Let’s turn it into a feature request
    +linked node
    A node that can be added to existing trees and is automatically linked as long as you leave it alone.

    Yeah, its from 1961 originally 🙂
    My reprint is from 2004 so it shows correct colors.
    Its fully calibrated…hehe

    …and buy yourself Johannes Itten’s “The art of color” , the bible and ultimately the most important book to understand why your are doing what your are doing and why stuff looks wrong or right and … everything.
    Not the easiest thing to read, but once it sinks in, you see the world with the eyes of a colorist, not a computer operator.

    You should wear the dongle around your neck, powered of course, so it lights up 🙂
    Great set people :/
    Yep , the light version would be great for that,

    July 17, 2011 at 11:29 am in reply to: Film grain for Resolve??

    Colors take on it is creating the grain in a software module.
    If you ok with crunch time and want better results, there is of course Furnace which is better in quality and control.
    But the philosophy on Resolve is “Keep it Real time” And I like that.
    So having the grain as a video track or memory film and blend it it, based on luma values in the footage will do exactly that.

    If you think about it, that would an awesome feature !
    Having like 10 frames of 10 different stocks built into Resolve and use that luma blend technik to keep it real time . That would be a feature weeeell received by users 🙂

  • All of the above is correct 🙂

    I actually like the fact Resolve works (like Scratch too) internally in full and the Decklink changes the SDI output to broadcast legal.
    That is very usefull for recording to tape or into and AVID or something.
    However, file based productions sometimes require the digital format to be legalized even when afterwards broadcasted just into the interwebs.
    Resolve provides two LUTs that sound promising, DatatoVideoSCALE and DataToVideoCLIP.
    You can either load em into the track or directly into the output LUT tab and enable show LUT on scopes.
    However, I think the SCALE LUT is wrong, it doesn’t scale it clips too.

    Maybe someone official could correct me on this, or check the LUT ?

    Or just use a folder based workflow from the start and whenever you get new media, replace the contents of one folder with the latest render.
    That one is totally hassle free on the DaVinci side, you just need to keep track of the versions in a project management system.

  • Hmmm…well you started the response by using the word pro.
    But you want to stay in advanced home user or semi pro configurations.
    That might work as long as your clients are on the same level or below.
    Yes, you can go a looong way with a cinema display and any projector, no doubt.
    I also think, if your clients are not willing to pay for the Cristie , the Omnitek and DaVinci panel, why bother buying it ?
    The days of the big suites are numbered, more and more people start to do color correction, and would prefer to do it in their editing systems directly.
    So clients who never experienced a full blown grading suite will be happy for what they get now.
    The cream will rise to the top and thus able to afford and in need for excellence will trust the big players, and if its only for insurance reasons.
    But there will be tons of job doing more simple grading and probably even more stylish and wicked, and thats the interesting part 🙂

    To sum it up :
    You will be able to do a 90% job with 10% of the cost = good business
    But make sure you have the chance to see the subtle nuances expensive gear will reveal, so you know when to switch.

  • The interface is filled with very little things you need to click on.
    The distance from the screen determines the size.
    I have a 27″ and 60 cm, which is maximum for my old eyes 🙂
    Another plus of the panel.
