ProVideoCoalition on How to Troubleshoot HDR iPhone Footage in Premiere, According to Adobe

Michelle DeLateur at ProVideo Coalition has an excellent article, “How to Troubleshoot HDR iPhone Footage in Premiere, According to Adobe

It is a problem with tone mapping, which is currently handled best by the beta.

This isn’t necessary until you run into it, and go wait, it doesn’t look like this on my iPhone, but that has an HDR screen, so…

Pro Video Coalitions Ian Anderson has a great article on ProRes

Iain Anderson at Pro Video Coalition has a must read article on Why ProRes?

Luckily ProRes has become pretty standard across my editing. Most cameras can record to it, and it works great, with so little processing power. Personally I don’t even like bringing any MP4’s in, and convert even them to ProRes Proxy.

Of course now with a Blackmagicdesign 6k Pro I have been shooting BlackMagic RAW and it in 6K certainly seems to take more processing power than ProRes, but it is also more compressed.

I would like to see how the M1 processors can handle H.264, which might mean less recompressing. I just see standardizing on a format to make Premiere work more like AVID, which has always been the most stable editing system.

MacRumors takes a guess on the Apple Silicon Mac Pro

Harlety Charlton at MacRumors has an article, “Apple Silicon Mac Pro Configurations: Everything We Know.”

Of course we don’t really know anything, other then it is coming, so it is literally all speculation. We think it will be based on the M2, and it might be 5nm or even 3nm, and we don’t know ports and it is rumored to have 40 cores, or double the M1 Ultra.

I wish this machine was a known quantity as it really should be my next machine if it isn’t too expensive.

9to5Mac on Gurman talking M1 Mac Pro, Mac Mini Redesign, and iMac Pro

José Andorno at 9to5Mac has this article on an interview Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman gave.

It is really interesting that it says there was a M1 MacPro ready but they decided to wait for the M2, which means they won’t make the 2 year promise on the move to Apple Silicon.

Honestly it is likely because the M1 could only do dual, and the performance would not have been hugely more than the Mac Studio if there was not a quad option. So likely the M2 can do Quad.

Mac Performance Guide on Apple’s Invasive Spotlight Indexing Impairing Use of Mac

Mac Performance Guide is quite negative on Mac performance, and it is the only place I have seen to show negative performance of Mac Studios, and he is certainly right on the Core Rote in Apple Systems. And this article on Spotlight Indexing is very interesting as I hate when does things that you have no control over. Spotlight is one of those things, especially when it indexes and you have no control over it. A simple pause indexing would be an amazing thing.

Personally I hate Spotlight as it doesn’t find everything for me, I use Find Any File for any major searches.

And for core rot I have to bring up my issue with Apple Music and moving iPhone sync to the finder. Also the fact that the damn sync has to sync twice to sync any files to my phone. Why? WTF!
