Damien Allen at PVC has released a 2021 Video Workstation Buyer’s Guide with both Mac and PC options.
As with all PVC Articles well worth a read if you are looking for a new machine this year.
The Mac world is really in so much flux with only consumer oriented Apple Silicon M1 chips released so far. Personally I am so looking forward to what pro Apple Silicon will do, but will certainly have to wait for that.
I have to say Chadwick’s videos are quickly becoming my favorite videos on DaVinci Resolve, I literally always learn something watching his videos, so they are really worth checking out.
I have liked this feature in Final Cut Pro X, and honestly didn’t even realize it was available in DaVinci. Now Premiere needs to add it.
FilmEditingPro has an article on how to install LUTs in Adobe Premiere Pro, Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, Avid Media Encoder, and Final Cut Pro. Again useful for those of who are constantly moving between machines and systems.
FilmEditingPro has a good article on how and where to install Keyboard shortcuts on all the major editing platforms. Most useful for those of us who are constantly on different machines.
You can check out Chadwick’s site or his YouTube channel and he has many videos that will get you working even better at DaVinci.
This is on the media management tools within DaVinci.
Well worth a quick read if you have 8 Bit Footage that shows banding and you need to get rid of it. I often have the issue with graphics and ramps, so this is always good to know.
What this sounds like is it takes a sequence from DaVinci Resolve and then can quickly match it to a look that you show it, and it does it with standard corrections that can be sent back to Resolve without using XML at all and it puts the grade on nodes.
It is supposed to be perceptual matching of shots to reference shots. Obviously I need to try it out before I can comment on how it works, because I have just watched a few videos on it for now. And most impressively is how it creates 8 versions of the match so you can pick your favorite.
The video above is pretty long winded, but very interesting. I certainly want to give it a try.
A $4000 price drop on it’s 12K camera is amazing, especially considering the worldwide chip shortage! The hard drive space for 12K is too much for me, but still an impressive price drop. This is going to really get this camera in allot of hands!
Blackmagic has updated it’s DaVinci Resolve software to 17.3.
The big feature is 3x faster with Apple Silicon M1 enabling 8k editing and grading. As well as H.265 encoder enhancements.
It also includes the ability to rotate garbage mattes.
Another great sounding free update. Can’t wait to give it a try.
