I wanted to do keyframes on tracks in DaVinci for a short film, and couldn’t figure it out, but this allowed me to do basically what I wanted with automation. Keyframes would have been easier and better, but this certainly works.
I plan on delving more into JayAreTV’s videos and you should too.
It is an interesting device, and it does work well for the Cut page, but the multicam buttons are fucking useless, as no one would be using that many angles and be using this, but the wheel is pretty amazing.
Really it needs to be able to customized, or maybe just make a smaller version without all the useless buttons.
Well worth giving an hour to learn about Fairlight Audio from Jason Yadlovski.
This is pretty cool the new colorchecker passport has both video and photo’s combined in a single passport. I have one of these, though from before calibrite made them, but it still works great. Really great for color correction DaVinci Resolve.
Honestly this post is a question to anyone why might know, as I have been running into something very frustrating with DaVinci Resolve, and that is, why when I duplicate a timeline do I lose the render completely and have to let it sit and re-render footage that is still rendered and has not changed from the previous Timeline (DaVinci’s name for a Sequence).
This is especially frustrating while working on my short film, which has full color corrects and a good deal of noise reduction, so a render can take hours and hours.
I looked for this on the DaVinci forums and don’t see anyone mentioning it, nor any posts on YouTube.
After being briefly shown in Apple’s introduction video fro the new iPad Pro, Blackmagic Design has officially announced DaVinci Resolve for the iPad.
For now it will only have 2 tabs, the color tab shown above, and the cut tab.
Here;s hoping that the cut page will work with the DaVinci Speed Editor, which is Bluetooth, so that would only make sense.
They have also said there will be a free version and a paid Studio Version from the iTunes Store.
With the M2 Chip in the new ipad pro this should work, though the limited ram might be a bit of an issue, as will storage, so hopefully it will work well with external hard drives.
This will be released in quarter 4 of 2022!
How can Blackmagic Design manage this, when Apple hasn’t manged a version of Final Cut Pro for the iPad.
The Article by Alyssa Miller goes into the issue which is similiar to the one on the big battle at the end of game of thrones. And honestly we didn’t see it too much, but I have my TV properly calibrated or at least as well as it can be, and we have overhead canned lighting and can do it dimmer over us, so likely the room is darker than for the last season of Game of Thrones, but we do see this more and more. They are color correcting way too dark for TV.
And I think the problem is obvious. Color bays are too dark and they use too good screens in the dark. That is absolutely fine for films which are meant to be seen in a darkened room, but homes have light, and most people don’t watch television in the dark.
Honestly there should be a higher level of ambient light in editing bays for TV, to take account people have lights on in their house. And have a consumer display to finish to as well, to check how it looks.
I know on these signature shows they want you to turn off the lights and only pay attention to it, but that isn’t an option for everyone.
And if there are significant complaints, you are doing the grade wrong. You need to remember this is going to be viewed by people at home, not in a darkened theater!
Nathaniel Pangaro at Apple Insider has an article entitled, “The best video editors for MacOS when iMovie doesn’t cut it.” and basically takes a look at Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
Scott Simmons posted this article Avid Media Composer updated to 2022.7, now with competing keyboard layouts.
I can honestly say I never though I would see the day when AVID was really trying to get people from Premiere and DaVinci.
Personally I always learn the default keyboard setup of a program, but this is great for a quick jump for people.
