So I have been shooting footage with my iPhone using the Black Magic Camera app recording to ProRES Raw on an external hard drive. Footage of my son, in the back yard and at the Ren Fair, shot at 23.976., in Open Gate 4:3 4224x3024. The first thing I noticed is that the clips all showed slightly different frame rates from 23.976 to 24.1 thanks to variable frame rate on the iPhone (interestingly they all show up as 23.976 in DaVinci Resolve). And once I set the color management for the clips to ProRes RAW I was able to use color mode. I put permanent scopes up, because that is how I do work when color correcting and was surprised to see that this caused the pop up scope to be extremely low resolution to the point of being unusable, and think it show what is doing on your existing scopes instead of whatever is happening here. My 4 scopes permanently up on my second monitor The low quality pop up scope when I have the 4 scopes open The actual controls work pretty well, though I question the controls that they have selected as the main controls. Now I balance a shot with the color wheels normally, shadow mid and high. Here you use the contrast to kind of set the high, then you have to go in to do it with the darks on exposure to control the darks. I would love to be able to make high mid and low exposure broken out into controls (I have room on my 32” monitors) instead of having them as sub controls under exposure., especially since this is how Lumetri and DaVinci work and would make for an easier shot balance. And removing color casts in shots, I personally find it much easier and faster to have a color wheel and be able to just dial it in, instead of picking a color and trying it individually. Yes it is doable, but for me a color wheel is faster even if it is not the same up down or left right control as the other controls. I feel like they actually made this slower to keep the same control scheme. Copying and pasting the grade is super easy here, and works exactly how it should work., and is very fast and more intuitive than DaVinci’s middle click to copy a grade. The fact that the default is not to always shows scopes though to me means you are not working at truly matching shots, but more doing it to your eye which can lie. Also I had an overexposed shot and was surprised at how easily this lets you push it even more out of limits. Sure it didn’t look as bad as it would have in Lumetri pushing it out of range, but it was still totally pegged out of range, I could never deliver this shot in a commercial. Trying to raise the shadows clipped all the highs.…
