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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRj5ZoiQEs0
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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSoNI8bTpFA 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.
Logan Baker at Premium Beats has posted a great article on the stabilization tools within DaVinci Resolve and how to use them. Worth a read for sure.
Lewis McGregor at the Beat Blog at Premium Beat has written a great article on Methods for Debanding Footage in DaVinci Resolve. 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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm4N6bndB1M Jeff Loch at CineD has an article on Colourlab Ai which works with DaVinci Resolve to match color using Ai. You can check out Colourlab Ai at their site and try a free trial, or you can get it as well as Look Desinger and Grain Lab for $49 a month or $490 a year. 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.
Blackmagic design has done it again and have released a 4K streaming version of the web presenter. The previous $495 version could accept a 4K signal, but it only could output at 1080, but this can output at a full 4k for a better signal for $695. And like the previous model it has a USB C out so you can connect it to your computer as a web cam to use in Zoom. And with my UltraStudio 4K I could easily run it via the SDI input without bothering the HDMI out (though it also has an HDMI out). I was talking to a DP with the director on a notes call and I really wished I had this setup so We could do live sessions. I know a lot of producers like to do a session in person and being able to stream live to a producer and talk really is something I need to add to my setup soon so I can continue to work at home. I am really looking forward to trying out Sofi Marshall's setup and getting this going.
