Jonny Elwyn on Matching 2 different Cameras Using Cinematch

Jonny Elwyn has an excellent article on using Cinematch to match 2 different Cameras. And you can use his Promo Code at Cinematch for the $125 Plug in (for either Premiere, DaVinci or FCP or $174 as a Bundle).

This is another extensive article and well worth a read.

I would love this tech, since the company I have been working for seems to use 2 different cameras always, and different settings every time, but getting info is like pulling teeth, and the EXIF route seems more difficult than just throwing it in Resolve and fixing it by eye, maybe not as well matched, but visually matched.

I do really like the idea of this match, but also they don’t have my DJI Pocket 2 in here, which would be my second camera most of the time.

Having Issues with Premiere Pro 23.4, it just beachballs

And here are posts at Adobe Forums where other people are also having the issue. And I ended up trying it quickly because of the whole issue with the export window not working, as I was running the beta to get around it, so I tried this right when ti came out, and no matter what Project I opened the whole thing just beachballed, but the Beta continues to work, but for release version I had to jump back to 23.2, since it is before the damn export bug.

I had been enjoying the text editing features, except how if you edit from a sequence it cuts in subclips and not the original clips (there should be a switch for this, as I can’t think why you would want it to edit out subclips).

I just feel the beta runs a little less stable than the release versions, so for paid work I need to stay on a stable release version, and it would be nice if 23.4 worked for me, but it just doesn’t.

And I basically erased all of my Premiere Pro preferences, the entire folder to try and get it running, as it kept pulling old preferences from earlier versions, but even completely trashing all Premiere Pro sequences on my hard drive it is still beachballing.

So be wary of 23.4 as it does not like my iMac Pro at all.
