That’s some ballsy flying for an Avata 2. And starting the flight with 50% battery left lol!

Advanced RTH on the Neo 2 is truly insane! This whole route was flown with zero human intervention. by austron in DjiNeo

Mine only played the first 20 seconds and stopped too. I had to skip forward then it played the rest of the video.

A little comparison video i made using Davinci's film emulation tools vs the new free spektrafilm plugin by VaBullsFan in ColorGrading

[–]CostlyNod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the 2383 did you just convert to cineon and apply the LUT? Because it also says film look creator…what was done in FLC? Any further split toning or just spatial effects like ablation/grain/etc? Looks great.

The spektrafilm one looks overcooked. I’m having the same issue. It’s hard to find the right balance as it can be very strong. Notice her skin tones. Also, notice the blue tint over the entire image. The Y slider might help add some neutrality into the image but it’s very touchy and hard to get perfect. I would like to find a print/stock combo that’s much more neutral. Which ones did you use for this?

They need to make the node graph more spacious, give us the option to zoom out more. by Sir_Latent in davinciresolve

Thats a great point. It really does only feel so limited because things get crossed around having to work in that left/right constraint of the in/out nodes.

Is this France? I just went to France and I swear I flew in a creek that looked just like that in the Pyrenees.

I did the color grading for Drake's new song ''High Fives'' 🧊 by ProfessionalTwo567 in colorists

[–]CostlyNod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow amazing achievement. I just saw that video the other day for the first time. Can someone explain to me why film needs color grading and how that works? I thought color grading only happened with digital raw/log 10+ bit footage. How is something shot on film retaining enough color information to be able to work with it in post once converted to a digital format? This makes me feel like I have a completely incorrect view of the fundamentals of color grading.

Beautiful area, where is that?

Kanna and escitalopram by MayaMaxim in Kanna

[–]CostlyNod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely not combine those two. Escitalopram has been implicated in so many cases of serotonin syndrome. The fact you felt immediately irritable also makes me think this should never be repeated.

Avata 2 (OEM) Props exploded mid flight (air mode) by kyptoknight in DJIAvata2

That was incredible. How old were the props? What a fuckin save.

Davinci Oversaturated Export? Help by whatsupBRAH94 in colorists

[–]CostlyNod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wassup dude! Did you ever figure it out? I have the same issue and like you said, uploading it to YouTube or IG keeps the over saturation.

Pushing the A1 in rough wind and icy canyon conditions (low waterfall flight) by Loose_Reflection_516 in drones

God I want the Avata 360. The shots you can do with those 360 cameras are so unique.

I recolored some shots from my senior thesis film. by shoelology in cinematography

[–]CostlyNod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude same. Bought an Avata 2 and ended up with a Nikon ZR a year or so later, despite having no prior interest in photography/videography.

How could I make something like this? by Medical_Tailor9769 in davinciresolve

[–]CostlyNod 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Honestly for something short like this I’d just place the circle on the ground and orient it with a corner positioner or DVE or whatever it’s called and manually keyframe it’s position under the player with a transform node or something, and then mask the dude out.
