I’d go one further in the stakes of bare faced cheek. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone had to create the graphics to go on each of their vans and used Google images search to find the smiley face and found a high enough res version of it to use on their own files that still had the tm attached to the original JPEG. This got sent to the wrap printers for the vans and before anyone realised the issue, every van had the tm mark printed on them and somewhere a company lawyer just shivered.

VR is a different medium because of the requirement to wear the device in landscape and the relationship between left and right eye in processing stereo 3D images versus the convergence point of the 3D plane. We’ve done a stereo VR project recently and that was filmed with wide lenses and 3D -the only thing holding it back was waiting for a platform to host the film. Now it’s available it can be viewed https://inceptionvr.com/experience/kyla-la-grange/ – but what’s really awesome is that when you are on a mobile device and portrait format, and not occulus with their page, in mono mode the camera can pan around and you get the same experience.
It’s all about the tailored experience to the end user – which is cool because there could be infinite amounts of content to create, even for large providers like Netflix and Amazon in the future as more people want to watch in portrait – even iPads playing in 4:3 should and could in theory have their own output for a custom play – with Netflix requiring all content to be shot at 6K minimum meaning the epic dragon is king, this should only mean a slight reframe and encoding option.

Also – thanks! Note the time difference between posts and them being 1 and then 540 in the morning….
For the museum world, portrait and non standard resolutions for delivery are very very common. Anything from large scale projection mapping to the talking portraits that were made famous by Harry Potter – we’ve been doing them all for years. It’s certainly been made a LOT easier by the arrival of large resolution digital cameras…!

Wow, I was right about something? Somebody write this down! I know I’m going to need to come back to this one day to prove it. LOL

Soon Tim….Soon.
Need to get some pesky NDAs out of the way first, but the whole project had 4 different delivery formats : 4096×1080, 3840 x 2160, 1920 x 1080 and 1080 x 1920. All content was shot using the same camera, and screens used mostly the same footage – hence your point of cropping and reframing being really great..
It also used some awesome old anamorphic lenses and we got to film a load of explosions, fires, high pressure water hoses and much more, at night, at 6K. Great fun.
First, sleep. My 4 week old daughter is taking all my attention!

60-70% of the work we do involves creating video for non standard horizontal screens. We didn’t do this – wish we had because it’s brilliant, but nothing understands a mobile audience better than custom created content for a portrait display.

I’ll be honest, given the date I didn’t think this thread was going to be about adobe!

I can’t help but think that every MacBook sold actually needs a top quality belkin style hub that goes from thunderbolt 3, to thunderbolt 2, USB 3, HDMI, SD card, compact flash, mini jack and perhaps even cat5. How many times I end up working from mains with a thunderbolt raid, Red minimag reader on USB3, external audio transferring via the SD reader and my phone charging on the other port is countless. I really don’t want 4 adaptors for each item. If Apple sold the hub but reflected this in their prices so that you could purchase the hub for a small amount extra this would be really cool.

Pleased to hear this.
One thing that makes me curious is that as I’m waiting for an Epic-W to be delivered in the next few weeks, I was under the impression that the new helium colour space was not supported in raw format yet by fcpx or premiere. Which version of fcpx and the red drivers are you running and was it actually a full r3d sequence or just a still frame, or was it an 8k ProRes file?
I’m sure the new MacBook pro’s will receive ample testing from the pro community, but if, and only if Apple doesn’t release any more updates to their pro line in the next 12 months, this MacBook is a machine that they are offering for the next wave of 8k cameras that are coming to market from red and canon. If not in prores or proxy format, I really, really want to know what they can do in raw. Because ultimately that’s what many editors will have to work in, and if the new MacBook Pro can work with 8k raw files, then my initial lack of enthusiasm might well burn away….
