There are interesting details in this Q&A.

"Steve Yedlin ASC, sat with Zeiss to discuss the cinematography behind the beautiful film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery."

PVC writers offer their thoughts on the dangers and opportunities of Machine Learning. One thing I learned, the term AI seems to be unquestionably accepted. Corporate marketing wins. What will we all be asked to call it when software becomes intelligent?

Still, it's a good set of thoughts and definitely worth the read.

"As lawsuits fly over rights, 'The Briefing' pod's lawyer-hosts talk Superman, LeBron's tattoos and Jerry West."

"I’ve had the chance to try it out and it’s very simple to use, and also effective. Just enough options to adjust exposure of the overall image and controlling the shadows as well. One big advantage of using the DCTL is that you can map it to be used on the Resolve Mini Panel for very quick adjustments."

The developer of this DCTL is a long-time reader and brought my attention to this new product (which I haven't tried yet): "This new look pack reimagines film emulation completely! With this DCTL you'll be able to apply just the hue, saturation or luminance of the mentioned profiled film LUTs below. ... You can even adjust the strength of each component and mix between different stocks."

Almost two dozen DCTLs were developed by Kaur Hendrikson, who helped develop the code for the demystify-color DCTL. I'm linking to the Demo pack with: "Almost all of my DCTLs, but with a watermark. This is your chance to try them out before buying!"

Is anyone out there using Lightworks? Interestingly, it's still under development, but I'm wondering if it's gotten any penetration at all?

"This update allows users to export Media Composer sequences directly into Pro Tools. Avid users can now export complex sequences with video, audio and metadata in a single step, combining everything in one export — .ptx file — that can be opened directly in Pro Tools."

I read the above and think: How long has Avid owned ProTools???

The headline question isn't why I recommend reading this article. It's the description of the technique of color grading in layers of curve adjustments and the resulting images. Click through, and you might find some inspiration for experimentation.

"In this article, we will be using our PugetBench for DaVinci Resolve 0.93.1 benchmark paired with DaVinci Resolve Studio 18.0.2 to examine the performance of the new Intel Core 13th Gen CPUs. As a comparison, we will be including the previous generation 12th Gen processors, as well as their primary competition – the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series."

"The RTX 4070 Ti rounds out the initial trio of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs, and we are excited to see how these cards stack up in DaVinci Resolve Studio against both the previous generation RTX cards and their competition from AMD."

(forum) "The Warp Engine allows the user to map any control, on any of their Tangent panels, to any application. This is done through assigning a script to a control which can be programmed to emulate mouse click, drags, and scrolls. The Warp Engine is built into, and programmed through, the Tangent Mapper."
