Thanks to a gentle push by one of our clients, we’ve invested in some new CD/DVD duplication equipment that has greatly enhanced our ability to turn around larger orders for clients. We added a Microboards 7 DVD burner giving us the capacity to burn around 500 to 600 DVDs in a single day! [...]
I thought I would put together a VERY simple example of the same shot getting essentially the same treatment in these two applications so you can see how they differ on what we would generally call “secondary color enhancement.” Basically after the shot is balanced, you now go ahead and give it the “look.” [...]
Here’s another workflow comparison between Apple Color and Davinci Resolve. Auto Balance. As in “my colors are really out of whack so can you please balance the colors for me to make the whites and blacks appear normal?” Most Colorists cringe at the thought of an “Auto Balance” button / knob / feature [...]
Here’s a two day update on the goings on at our construction site. I have to say at this point it is getting a little bit overwhelming now that we can actually see all the rooms framed up and realize just how much more space we are moving in to. Our current space is [...]
John and I stopped by this afternoon to take a quick look at the progress on the bricks. Lower level is about done and they’re ready to get moving up on the scaffolding. Really loving the color scheme too. A look at the left side of the building around the garage door. That brick is [...]
As I’ve been on the Creative Cow Final Cut Pro forums about 9 years now, I have seen all manner of people whine and complain about stability issues with Final Cut Pro. Sometimes it’s truly Apple breaking stuff or releasing versions of Quicktime or FCP before they’re ready. But often, it’s operator error / configuration [...]
Today was Labor Day Holiday in the U.S. and instead of grilling outside, we took advantage of a nice quiet shop to really get into some Davinci Resolve testing. My buddy Ron Anderson volunteered to come over and show me the ropes. When a 30 year colorist offers to “show you the ropes” on a [...]
Had a great day today poking around in the beta version of Davinci Resolve for the Mac. Spent the first few hours just gleaning through the User Manual and that was actually quite interesting. See the User Manual for the new 7.0 Resolve is not out yet so I’m looking through the previous version. What [...]
It’s Labor Day weekend here in the US so I’m taking advantage of the 3 day weekend to set up and start testing the beta version of DaVinci Resolve 7.0 for Mac. Contrary to some of the information that’s out there, you do NOT require two nVidia graphics cards to run Resolve on a Mac [...]
With the Labor Day Holiday weekend upon us, but an absolutely gorgeous day outside, the construction crew decided to work on Saturday and take Monday off. The brick work was started and Joe managed to get his truck in a ditch….. The masonry team gets right to work on the bricks outside. Joe brought us [...]
