I really like this product! It's designed by a colorist to help him (and you) manage your grading sessions. Everything from organizing your deliverables, budget, and time to keeping track and categorizing client feedback. If you like keeping notes then this is a terrific upgrade to an off-the-shelf notebook. I like it and I wish Davide Greco success as he launches his first product for our niche.

This article profiles the lead colorists at two companies and their remote collaboration workflows.

One of the most ' look-driven series I've seen in recent years is WandaVision. Get a look at the thinking and execution of its challenges.

Colorist Cullen Kelley opines on the OWC blog: "The current playbook for capturing and mastering compelling images is going to become increasingly irrelevant, leaving those of us who are up to the task to write a new one. Here are some of the key questions we’ll need to address..."

"For each short video Ume spends15 to 20 hours working to perfect the shot and sell the illusion. While anyone can download the software, the final clip is anything but a one-button-press solution."

(video) From colorist Cullen Kelly: "In this final installment of the series, we're building on everything we've learned and diving into the key principles and tools for effective grading in ACES."

(video) "In this tutorial we're going over the different types of clip metadata that SCRATCH can read out - incl. frame-based metadata - and how you can use that metadata for burn-ins, reports and export file naming."

Now you can run calibration apps on an M1 Mac.

"Having to transcode media prior to importing it adds an extra and time-consuming stage to the workflow . . . In its initial incarnation, the Color Finale Transcoder add-on is intended to quickly import the unsupported camera media into Final Cut Pro, with plans for more media to be compatible in the future."

This article covers the fundamentals of roto and a few best practices: "The roto splines can make the compositing script "heavy" so some prefer to use rendered mattes. Rendered mattes can be tweaked with a little paint touch-up or a patch shape if needed. The entire purpose of roto is to assist compositing so make sure you are providing the kind of assistance that is needed."

"One by one, we will look at the main components of a computer (CPU, GPU, RAM) and evaluate their respective roles within the copy process. Thus, we’ll reach a comprehensive overview – just like we did in a previous article that examined which processing power you should boost to improve transcoding speed. "

(video) "Watch over the shoulder of senior colorist Cullen Kelly as he works through his first pass on a feature film and shares his approach."

(video) "Learn to measure audio/video sync issues with a smartphone, and compensate in DaVinci Resolve using Fairlight's B-Chain."

(video) "Learn to use DaVinci Resolve's Fusion page to build custom, reusable transitions to work inside a node-based ACES pipeline."

"We tested the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT against the three best 2019 Mac Pro GPUs." The results are impressive.

Interesting: "The M1-based Mac mini with 10 Gigabit Ethernet also supports Apple’s Lights Out Management settings that enable remote start, restart, and shut down for Macs enrolled in an MDM solution."

It's fun for the whole family!

Are we at peak streaming? 15,000 shows and you can't find anything to watch... maybe this isn't so fun(ny)?
