I’ll start with half day rates, most people don’t usually offer half days other than travel, but I guess it depends on the position/relationship.
A day rate is 10 hours minimum at a set rate per hour, but if you’re payrolled (vs subcontracted), that’s usually broken down so that it fit into the 8 hours + overtime rule (You don’t have to concern yourself with that).
So if your dayrate is $200/day, that’s what you would charge for UP TO 10 hours, same amount if you work 2 hours.
Then overtime usually goes time and a half for 2 additional hours (12), then double time after that.

In theory, you would try not to mix lights that are hitting talent. You can either do Source 4, or you go with an LED wash.

This is a forum about Adobe Premiere 🙂

I don’t believe any of the blending modes will allow you to lose the white. The only other way would be using ultra key and key out the white. That’s assuming that nothing else is white in the logo, and that it’s clean with not compressions artifacts.

Hi David,
Open the graphic in Photoshop, use the Magic Wand tool (w) to select the white, delete section, and then save again.

Hi Curt,
To add to Alan’s point about LED issues, I’ll talk about your color issues, blue looking purple. There’s is no simple answer.
You will likely have to look into matrix settings. Here’s video that should give you a headstart:

Hi Bryan,
I’ll add that it’s why I go straight to the LD in pre-production and make sure that they add a few source 4s, or reserve some movers to be on as front lights for the entire show. Then give the producers an option, are you lighting for the audience, or the camera?
Everyone loves blue, but it’s the worst offender, especially LEDs since blue is the noisiest color in your camera.
The worst case scenario is when they are pointed straight at the camera and you are in auto iris.

Hey Todd!
Did they replace the motherboards??? That would seem like a must after all these upgrades, and it’s really not the most expensive part. That’s gonna be a bottleneck.
As for your sudden crash issues, did your computer guy reconfigure the BIOS to match your new hardware? Did they do a clean install on all machines? That’s a much after this. What OS do they have you running?
Now for the rest: I’ll be honest, even the latest builds I’ve worked on can choke on 4K, especially once you start grading, depending on the compression scheme. Sony compression (XAVC) seems to be the worst offender I’ve met so far.
I know you probably don’t want to go the way of rental software, but Premiere CC 2016 and up is just so much more efficient when it comes to 4K. You also get really easy proxy editing if you have problematic footage. If anything, get a trial version and give it a shot to see if you see any improvement, keep CS6 then rent CC when you really need it.

Hi Mat,
Premiere will recognize any video output device that your computer sees at output device. That usually means any graphics card output.
If the device doesn’t show up in Premiere preferences under playback, then you probably won’t be able to use it.
What’s the purpose of the Raspberry Pi3 in your setup, why not run the HDMI from your machine straight to a TV?Vince Becquiot
