  1. Hey there! I have feeling it's gonna be a good year at NAB this year.

    If you're coming to the show, so stop by and see me! ✌🏽

  2. Me: *editing*
    DaVinci Resolve: "oh so you pressed the x on the 2nd monitor window? I guess you think youre special. Well, now I am not going to reopen that for you. Nope. I'll tell you what screen is selected to display it, but it will be a cold day in hell before you get your secondary monitor back."

  3. Just unreal how hard Topaz AI upscaling is taxing my M4 Pro 16" MBP.

    It's plugged into the mains adapter, and after three hours of non-stop rendering, the battery is down to 25%.

    There's literally no way you could leave this unsupervised for more than a few hours, before you'd have an uncontrolled shutdown.

  4. Colm Moore from #Dublin created a #Chrome extension that gives editor’s ridiculously over the top praise in #Frame.io. It’s all local so only you see it.
    Y’know for those moments when you haven’t talked to a human in days and are glued to your screen.

  5. You know what would really be useful in #Premiere or #Resolve? Having a warning indicator when a clip you pull onto your timeline will overwrite/replace another that's outside the current view. Here, I made a mock-up.

  6. … and the restoration doesn’t seem to follow what Vilmos Zsigmond and Robert Altman intended. The blacks are now crushed and the colours aren’t pastel. Shame. Here are some comparison shots from blu-ray.com #PostChat

  7. Anyone have a favorite auto-captioning software? Final Cut did a super mid job auto transcribing, and I'm having to go through every line manually fixing typos and adding speaker names...

  8. FYI. This would be a problem when uploading to the streaming distribution platform we are using. Their requirements are as stringent as I have seen.

  9. After using for a week I can safely say it is indispensable. Def upgrading to the full Studio suite annual plan at ~$37/mth.

    Spent today uprezzing 1080p footage that I had zoomed into here and there to 8k and wow. Up really close it looks waxy, but as the scenes roll you don't notice the brutal quality changes btwn 6k Blackmagic footage & 3-4yr-old smartphone. Running denoise on the BM stuff too, and it's all looking better than I thought it could!

  14. So: just watched all the Topaz Video tutorials. Very interesting workflow. There are a whole bunch of different models in there that are trained on specific tasks, so you can try denoise by this or that one, upscaling by a different one altogether.

    And you cannot import BRAW directly, so it seems I have to decide if I want my crops/stabilisation/colour grade first, then AI enhancement, since the source footage is 6K. For other clips I may need to upscale first.

    My head already hurts

  15. I find it really annoying that no mainstream NLE except MAYBE Avid (can't check now) copies sound files when managing proxies. Almost everything I do involves dual system audio and this means I need to be super diligent to have everything available.

  16. I need a high capacity drive that I can edit video off of, and this seems like a good way to get something flexible but fast.
    ⁃ Anyone had experience with the OWC Express 4M2?
    ⁃ Any issues using NVMe 4.0 2280 drives in this?
    ⁃ Are OWC's drives worth the price premium?

  17. Moving over from Bluesky. Here's some mograph for you as I check out what video is like over here.

    Where the #postchat people at?

  18. If you can't test your day-to-day apps and you can't afford the downtime, it's OK to wait. 😄

  19. Ran @siracusa 's Hyperspace utility on a volume that backs up my primary “online" video editing volume.

    Reclaimed 1.64TB of space. Took a long while.

    Yes it's a spinning drive with APFS. Don't @ me.

  20. Wait Resolve supports ProRes RAW now?? Our long national nightmare is over #postchat

  21. Tried this today. I was really hoping it would be legitimate upscaling of some kind but it really is much more like the type of sharpening that you see in photo editing apps.

    I have some pretty awful footage that needs help, but more in like a restoration type of way I guess. This makes it look more like a watercolor/comic book.

  22. Exporting all audio roles now... E7 goes for audio mixing tomorrow morning! 😎🥵🫣🤪

  23. Interesting… Created compound clips to sync up various microphones with the video, so they could all be cut at once. Once the edits are done, I detach the audio so I can create crossfades between the pieces.

    Came across a compound clip that could not be ungrouped and I couldn't figure out… Turns out that if you've re-timed a compound clip you can't separate what's in it anymore. So I had to set it to 100%, separate it, and then reapply the re-time!

  24. Hey Mastodon, if you happen to be in #Sheffield for the #SheffieldDocFest check out this documentary I co-edited with Paul Burgess. Directed by Dustin Lance Black, it's a look behind the scenes of the music that changed the world. A testament to what happens when people look past their differences and work together. An important film for the age.

  25. I played around with Premiere Pro’s Light appearance and Label Color Presets to make a teenage engineering inspired theme. It looks good in Dark as well!

  26. Fyi #postchat

    I’ve personally noticed that 4k videos look better, even on small sized playback windows. chaos.social/@gsuberland/11457

  27. There's all sorts of AI assistant tools for editors but nothing that I know of that would scan the footage for slates and create metadata from them.

  28. My studio is looking to hire a Motion Graphics Artist in the Leola, PA area.

    We’re looking for someone who has some comfort/experience with both 2D Graphics work (vfx and motion design) as well as 3D, though we’re flexible on how those two areas are weighted.

  29. Every frame counts: an assistant editor's handbook

    If you're not in the big league, you have to know most of this stuff as an editor yourself

  30. Finally found a way to transfer timelines between #Resolve (so, everything) and #Avid both ways with only linked media (original camera files) via AAF, without generating any new media files. Took me like 6 hours (to find out, not to do) but did it!

  31. What a year! In 2024 I graded almost 30k shots. I hope 2025 will be a little quieter 😅
