Hi Duke,
Yes, definitely less saturation. There seems to be a mix of green in part of your face as well, that could just be grass reflections.
If you want to calibrate your screen, look at one of these:

Hey Duke,
Here’s my version. Obviously, I’m correcting a previously corrected image:

I dropped the saturation a tad and fixed exposure, crushed blacks.

You can get very close using the skin tone line because the value depends on “blood vessels”, which is why is also works on different skin colors.

Hey Duke,
That doesn’t look right, you should really use the scope for skin tone.
Use the waveform for brightness adjustments.
Here’s a nice tutorial that should get you going nicely, post your results!

Hi Quang,
Once you have a first title, use the “New Title > based on current” feature to create additional ones.

Hi Joshua,
That’s still a single drive, it might be worth checking that speed with the Aja system check: https://www.aja.com/products/aja-system-test
It’s rated at 184 MB/s, but that means a perfect system with an empty drive.
Also, check the data rate of the files you are playing with, keeping in mind that each layer/track doubles that speed requirement.

Hi Joshua,
A 2013 MBP is probably past its prime for 4K, but you should still be able to get a ok playback without filters/color correction.
The second issue would be drive speed. 4K multicam will require a solid Raid drive to keep up.Vince

Hi Rory,
I think it mostly depends on how high end you want to get. While the switching gear will work, the cameras probably won’t.
And again, I’m thinking low end broadcast level, but at the bare minimum, you’ll want servo zoom and focus on the handles, high quality tripods to go with them, and finally a large viewfinder that will support peaking, since focus is critical.
Trying to shoot a sports game with handle zoom would be a nightmare for any camera op. If this is broadcast, you’ll probably want a studio config with remote shading.I would say at the very minimum, look at this camera with a studio kit: https://tinyurl.com/jshsm9s

The problem with that method is that you lose all animations and have to manually resync each slide, that could take forever on a multi-day show.
I also find that unless I do a screen capture, the exported slides tend to have jagged edges, they lose the aniti-aliasing PPT provides.
If you have a recorded version with audio, you can easily drop that into a multicam sequence and cut away in no time.

The other issue is that if something goes wrong, you can’t monitor it, or fix it without taking the presentation down.
And the frame rate will widely vary on the processingThe next best cheaper option would be to buy a Blackmagic mini recorder and record on a second Mac (That’s a cool $150).
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/ultrastudiothunderbolt/techspecs/W-DLUS-04You’ll be going SDI/HDMI in to Thunderbold and you’ll have a choice of codecs plus you’ll have a way to monitor the recording.
All you’ll need is an HDMI splitter out of the power point laptop.Vince Becquiot
