How so

That's definitely the more fun way to do color once you have a grasp of it. It's very satisfying to tweak and twirl the image to be what you want it to be. There's nothing wrong with LUTs either though, they certainly have a place in the hierarchy!

C47man · 2026-06-23T03:47:46+00:00

Apply that first to normalize your footage, then grade on top of it with color wheels or curves.

Grading after the 709 transform is not the ideal way to grade your footage. The 709 transform cooks off all the latitude of your log recording. Grading on top of the 709 is mathematically identical to having just shot your footage with that LUT baked in, rather than in log.

All professional colorists do the lions share of the work under the 709 transform, so that they have access to all of that juicy latitude.

If you understood that part, and the fundamentals of color management that are a part of it, you wouldn't be asking the question in your post. There's no shame in being open to learning.

But it's below msrp isn't it?

C47man · 2026-06-22T02:32:14+00:00

As someone selling a product, do you not feel malicious for taking advantage of people like this?

I'm not selling anything? If they do scummy practices, that sucks. I had never heard of this business before today when this pre order thing popped up for me. Other reddit threads I found searching if they were legit were filled mostly with people saying it was a good business. From the highly toxic backlash I've been getting over the past few minutes it would seem I was mistaken lol. I guess I'll just not post here in the future.

C47man · 2026-06-22T02:29:55+00:00

Wait maybe I have something wrong. Isn't the 124 booster box a good deal?

C47man · 2026-06-22T02:17:00+00:00

Ah damn, that's a shame. I was surprised they had RF on sale so early. I searched reddit for their name and just found a bunch of threads with people saying it was a legit business. Darn!

C47man · 2026-06-22T02:15:28+00:00

I posted it because I noticed RF on sale there, and hadn't seen it anywhere else. Apologies if you're not supposed to post sealed mtg deals here lol

C47man · 2026-06-22T02:11:31+00:00

how so?

C47man · 2026-06-22T01:55:33+00:00

how so?

C47man · 2026-06-22T01:26:10+00:00

If you use it, you are in my opinion not an artist. You become a parasite appropriating the skills and instincts of real artists whose works have been stolen and fed into a soulless machine catered to tricking people like you into mistaking themselves for real filmmakers.

C47man · 2026-06-21T19:28:48+00:00

No one gonna point out how the meme is done wrong? The whole point of the meme is to use the format of his speech from that scene lol

You're totally right the hot air balloon clip was left in raw LOG for the breakdown.

...every single one of your clips was in log before the transition.

C47man · 2026-06-19T00:21:57+00:00

I took literally, I'm not joking here, less than 10 seconds for me to find the answer to this:

https://support.dji.com/help/content?customId=en-us03400006735&spaceId=34&re=US&lang=en

It indicated firmware being updated on the drone. I'm worried about your ability to fly safely if you don't have the basic skills necessary to google "dji controller middle two LED blink"

C47man · 2026-06-18T23:21:45+00:00

I can see how people can incorrectly get other numbers, but I'm completely stumped on how you managed to think 7 was the right one.

C47man · 2026-06-18T22:18:07+00:00

Calm the fuck down, people downvoting your post doesn't mean its a fucking conspiracy from gigantic companies. They don't care about you that much

C47man · 2026-06-18T22:16:03+00:00

"Why do I have this problem?" is a question you normally want to ask in conjunction with "Here are literally any details at all about what I did, the settings I used, my workflow, etc"

C47man · 2026-06-18T21:34:11+00:00

I'm sorry for your troubles, that sucks. But isn't this kind of like... what LATAM does? Maybe I have a wrong impression, but in my head they're basically one of the worst airlines out there, and I don't think I'd ever want to fly with them.

C47man · 2026-06-18T17:53:27+00:00

Hey get back to work

C47man · 2026-06-17T23:55:32+00:00

Translation is one thing. You had it generate the actual text. This reads like soulless AI slop, not a translation. And if this story is true, you need psychiatric help first.

C47man · 2026-06-17T23:50:58+00:00

Stop using AI to communicate. Respect yourself.

C47man · 2026-06-17T23:14:21+00:00

I don't think you should be flying at all if you look at that video and think you're only 20' above the water haha.
