    I don't believe I just watched this... thank you Walter!

    Do you know if it exists any wireless audio systems that works with the DaVinci Resolve?
  3. Tom Evans
    Thanks, think I will go for the last Ultrastudio as it was way more affordable. How do you adjust the audio coming out of Resolve? I used to have a JBL Nano Patch Plus, but there might be other alternatives now?

    I'm buying an iMac Pro to run DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro. How do I get the video signal and audio out to my monitor when I can't insert a decklink card?

    I have a CG318 from Eizo that I took home the other day, but I don't have access to our regular calibration guy this time. As I don't have a clue about how to calibrate, I tried the internal Eizo auto-calibration, set the gamma to 2.4, brightness to 100 and viewing space to rec709. I have a trained eye after working with color for more than twenty eyes and can see that it looks wrong. I know the internal calibration only is supposed to take you 95% there but it looks totally off. For some reason it looks more correct when I switch from rec709 to DCI. Can someone please enlight me why this is happening?

    I'm considering buying or renting one of the Boris FX products, but not sure if it will be good value for money to pay more for a new license than going for an annual subscription. On a general basis, would you own a software today when computer tech are going forward in this pace. Will it be outdated in a year or two anyways? Thoughts?

    I learned a lot from this course, thank you Lee!

    I want to to create a black letterbox on the sides of a clip, but blanking on the input sizing is greyed out. Why is it?

    Looks like you need to do some frame by frame work, this isn't complicated in Fusion but it's time consuming work. Or your could consider covering a larger area with a plate or see if you could get away with keying the dust parts and changing its color and luma levels.

    Extremely well done course, very useful techniques that can be used on a variety of problem shots.

    This is a software bug. Resolve is in general buggy when it comes to PNG images, also in the edit and color module.

    Log controls are mainly designed for log images and you can manually set how wide or narrow range you want to affect with your corrections.
  14. Tom Evans
    In this case he just means working with the log tools when going out of linear.

    Hi Andrea, In a printer lights workflow the LUT represents the film stock and should be at the very end of your node stack. That way every correction will run through the curve of the LUT. Experiment with using different LUTs such as the Kodaks and Fujis coming with Resolve as those mimic the original film stocks. By pushing exposure and colors through the LUT you will see that the image will be affected more in the mids and less in the blacks and whites. I suggest you watch the professional color grading course here on Lowepost for some examples of this workflow and you might also read the printer light article in the Insider section for a better understanding.

    The course will answer these questions, it's a large topic and you need that basic understanding to pull this off properly.

    Not sure if I'm allowed to share this but this is the result of the low sat green technique demonstrated in the color grading course.
  18. Tom Evans
    Agree with Amada. Looks like rather hard offset adjustments + saturation through a curve with rather flat ends so that mainly the mids are affected.

    Can I ask why you don't go to a post house with flame/Nuke artists of you want to pull of complicated stabilizations? Baselight is a colorist tool and it's highly unavailable for the regular man on the street. Over the top expensive and hard to learn for doing a single shot once in a while.

    Now that Flame included Lustre, I'm tempted to go that way. Pricey though, but you can't beat that finishing package.

    The motion algorithms are different on all applications so for lipsync you need to test which interpolation is the closest to what is created in FCPX. Translation data such as position, scale should transfer well, but you need to tick the scaling button when importing the XML in Resolve.

    Mocha is superior when it comes to screen replacements!

    You can right click the root folder and choose to import all the clips in both the main folders and subfolders.

    We have an Avid project that needs to be moved over to Premiere? What will be the fastest way to do this?
  25. Tom Evans
    Nice one! Super solid masterclass, thanks John!
