Thanks for this. I feel like it’s the most honest and knowledgeable advice I’ve heard. They really have created a mess with this 4k shit haven’t they? My company bought right into the hype buying all the latest 4k cameras and now post production has gone down the toilet. I feel pretty confident in going forward and building a monster PC. either that or we may just have to put our 4k cameras up for sale and come running back home to good old 1080p. Thanks!

yes I have.. I guess what I’m looking for is some examples of systems that people are using in the real world that are working well. I’d like to hear what people are experiencing before I jump in and start making decisions.. I read the mac configuration guide that gave the thumbs up on the new mac pro and then went online and read post after post of people having problems with the d700 cards.

thanks for the suggestions. i played w the footage all day with no luck. its just too sharp. footage looks great on wide shots but up close the skin is just nasty. i plan to use lots of make up and diffusion filters. hopefully that will help because fixing in post doesn’t seem possible

Thanks for your response. it seems that if I colorgrade where blacks sit at 0 and the highlights are 100 on my rec 709 monitor it looks perfect but it ends up being way too hot on an HDTV. Im having to set luma at the highest 70 IRE for it to look halfway decent on these consumer TV’s. after I compensate The result on my grading monitor is dark dingy and washed out. Boy you’re right about the tail chasing thing! I see what your saying but if theres nothing we can do then why do these hollywood blurays not have this issue. Ive looked at like 5 on my Samsung HDTV and compared them to my projector and it looks pretty close. While my grade looks drastically different from HDTV to projector. perhaps I’m not grading properly? I just dont get it

no no… AME= Adobe Media Encoder

many many times. Ive done every experiment percieveable (by Me : ) no shifts happening in the pipeline. What I’m talking about is the contrast sharpness and gamma boost that HDTV’s produce. How do we compensate for that? thanks..

I have a question. I cut my film with proxies in fcp 7 and sent an xml out to grade in resolve. I had to reconnect to the original .r3d media on import.. the grade is almost complete but now the client has changes so I went back to the original fcp 7 project with the proxies and made the changes there then exported a revised xml.. How do I import these changes back into resolve from fcp 7 so that it will reapply my previous grades to the updated xml? is this the right workflow?

[Sean Pollaro]

Thanks for this.. I’m still uncertain that my question has been answered though.. If I scale up passed 100% into a 1080 proxy in fcp 7 degrading the resolution, when i reconnect in resolve will the 5k image be scaled passed 100% degrading its resolution as well? or does resolve intelligently deal with this like its a 5k pan and scan within a 1080 sequence with no resolution loss?
