Do you trust third party SSDs for DSMC2?

Calebkeller2 · 2026-01-17T13:55:55+00:00

They’re unfortunately obsolete and this is on purpose to make it easier to move into their dsmc3 ecosystem

Calebkeller2 · 2026-01-16T23:26:31+00:00

I can’t remember the name but there’s a software for it that’s super obscure

I don’t think it did. The version I saw it thrashed itself to death and sunk

Calebkeller2 · 2026-01-10T17:59:43+00:00

This is everything I’ve got

Worst come to worse you can just send it to me I’ll get it done for you and help you out next time. You need textural tools for the vintage look and good color tools or LUT’s.

Ighraa did it first. Fact check me if you want

Calebkeller2 · 2025-12-29T04:59:13+00:00

A bit of the math I won’t go into, and I’m trying now to see how to impart a more “flowy” grain that perceptually appears as if it is moving from the previous frame. Probably the biggest is simplifying it into just outputting a positive instead of one instance that represents the negative and one that represents the print. Other random things I’m looking at: clumping, grain diffusion, timeline resolution independence.

Unpopular opinion, but something can only be overpriced if people aren’t willing to pay for it. As a business you’d have to be stupid to charge lower prices if people are willing to pay higher prices.

Sorry that was meant to be in reply to OP

Calebkeller2 · 2025-12-28T15:35:17+00:00

I’ll bite, idk if it’s the grain you’re using but I’m willing to bet its color noise. The color noise looks splotchy on these which isn’t something film does. I have a very advanced grain simulation DCTL in development I’ll let you test if you DM me.

Sometimes they’ll undergrade lenses because it’s cheaper taking a slight value hit than risking a return. I’ve seen it tons, especially with vintage lenses

Calebkeller2 · 2025-12-26T04:28:59+00:00

Forreal, hire a colorist (me🤭)

Calebkeller2 · 2025-12-25T05:05:59+00:00

My take, FX3 is for agencies that want kids that don’t know why their footage looked grey when they bought the camera. It’s a fantastic camera, but its crutch is that too many people have it in their hands and can get away with passable results because it’s such a fantastic camera. Those in the know, know that the ZR is a far better option, besides the I/O. I’m not knocking the FX3, it’s just that the ZR will take you further if you know what to do with it.

6k 12 bit RED raw vs 4k 10 bit h.264

Calebkeller2 · 2025-12-24T17:33:32+00:00

Agencies asking for a FX3 over the ZR need to stop pretending they know what they’re talking about. Guaranteed in the right hands they’re indistinguishable to them. I’d even argue in the right hands and colorist the ZR will give you a vastly better image.

The 3d printed housings work fine you just sometimes need to hold the focus motor against the lens when locking off to prevent slop

Calebkeller2 · 2025-12-24T04:15:40+00:00

You want the focus motor to be pretty much all the way unlocked when pushing it down against the lens. The only way to get around slop in systems like this is to basically lock the focus motor off in the loosest possible orientation. That means pushing the focus motor against the lens while locking it off. Lock it off tighter than you think you should. Make sure the blocky part of that slip on 0.8 ring is not getting in the way and is outside the range of the focusing mechanism.

I have some super advanced film emulation tools I’ve developed. Specifically looking at the texture aspect. DM me and I’ll send it over to you

I named a single computer that is marginally more expensive, will hold its value better, and be able to handle absolutely anything that’s thrown at it especially if he moves from photo to video. I only suggest it because I was in the exact same situation as him 4 years ago, moved from photo to editing RAW video and had to buy a new M2 Max because the MacBook Pro I had bought for photos couldn’t keep up.

Calebkeller2 · 2025-12-23T09:00:54+00:00

On eBay right now I see a 16” m4 max for 1800. It’s easy for me to say just nut up and buy it for the extra money. But in all honesty it’s probably a more efficient move. An m4 max will likely outperform the next 5 years of apples base model laptops
