Hollywood Reporter on Tyler Perry putting 800 Million Studio expansion on hold because of OpenAI’s Sora

From Katie Kilkenny at The Hollywood Reporter. And Sora does look pretty damn amazing, though will have to see what you actually get out of it, doubt it will be 4k images, at least for now. And Sora did blow my mind when I first saw it, and I think it will put people out of work for sure, though copyright issues may be what keeps it out of say advertisements.

Still I don’t quite buy that the whole 800 million expansion is killed because of this alone. I would say even with Sora you would still need actors, but something like this will likely help create virtual environments, and in that case you would need less actual stage space, but more high tech stages with something like Stagecraft installed. And for that you don’t need more stages, but to upgrade a few existing stages, and you can have the equivalent of all those stages.

Socratica FX on Setting Files in DaVinci Resolve & Fusion

From Socratica FX on YouTube.

This deep dive into the Settings files that come out of Fusion (and Fusion in DaVinci Resolve) from Blackmagic Design. It is very cool that the settings files are just simple text files. Not only can you go into the files, but you can do things with the text files to create macros.

And don’t you wish all saved bins and files were like this, so that you could always just go in and see them as a plain text file and see if anything is wrong? This is how all save files should be saved!

Open AI’s upcoming text to video AI Sora has been shown, and it makes me worry about my future as an editor!

Open AI’s new text to video AI Sora, looks damn amazing. I mean, like real world

The processing power this requires must be insane, because these videos look incredible and so realistic. There will certainly be a point when many things are just created by AI, I mean why pay for footage, when you can get completely realistic footage and just what you want?

I mean hopefully there will still human editors at some level, but at some point there will likely be a lot less humans, though getting good at AI is certainly a good idea.
