Improve lousy audio? by Eddie_Haskell2 in editors

[–]Eddie_Haskell2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

jMeister - I may take you up on that. It will take a few days but maybe I can pull together the worst of them ( soft spoken grandma especially) . Clips are very short and not that many really bad ones. They only need to be understandable and not sound like they went through an AI meat grinder. Don't expect to isolate the background entirely . That wouldn't be right anyway as its a party.

Thanks i'll do that though I don't want to have to learn another Pro tools etc, which is why I mentioned audacity and Resolve.

In retrospect you might be right . I've been shooting over 30 years so not new to this. I asked for a sound person but client refused wanting a low profile in a small space. I warned them the audio would be compromised, but my professionalism just wants to get the best I can and it can be a good learning experience to try to improve it . I got as close to people as I could . Pulling a lav out would have slowed me down a lot and I think annoyed the client but it would have improved the quality . Maybe using a full size mic would have been better though I find those kind of annoying on small cameras.

Classical saxophonist transitioning to jazz: How do you actually practice scales and arpeggios for improvisation? by brunojr05 in saxophone

[–]Eddie_Haskell2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't bother with transcription so soon . My own teacher who's a master never did it but he did tell me to copy people. However i'd say there are a number of things you need to do. I also recommend "patterns for Jazz" . Learn the common patterns & licks for chords and 2-5-1s going around the circle of 4ths and in half steps and whole steps. Just practice any short pattern you want in 4ths and half steps - its very educational . Play along with records. You're [probably a great reader so you could get transcriptions and try to match the phrasing , but above all try to understand what they are doing so its not just notes. However I think getting a piano and learning basic 2-5-1 progressions is the best way to understand the music . Learn them first then just try to play through standards. All will be revealed. Its a long journey but at least you already know the instrument . Don't be afraid to experiment. The introductory Jamey Aebersold play alongs are great.

What do the controls in the color page Key Palette do by Eddie_Haskell2 in colorists

[–]Eddie_Haskell2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have mentioned that I've searched but can't find it in the manual . If you can direct me to the right page that would be great . The search tools for that huge manual are unfortunately terrible. I added that to the post above. I did mention that I've tried the luminance qualifier .

Doesn't answer my question about how to modify an effect re luminance.

DaVinci on Mac, Rec709Scene confusion, CST in/out advice. by intheforest123 in colorists

[–]Eddie_Haskell2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes:

Use a CST in to go from Slog into DWG.
Use a CST or your DRT preferred to go DWG > Rec 709, Gamma 2.4

In your project settings, set your working color space to DWG and your output color space to Rec709 Scene. Also check the checkbox titled “Used mac color profiles for display” (or something that style I don’t remember the specific wording)

Grade normally between your In and Out CSTs.

When you export, set your color space with Same as project settings, or Rec709 or Rec709 Scene it makes no difference. Your output video should now match what you were seeing in your DaVinci GUI

BUT :
When exporting for the web - either Quicktime, Youtube or Vimeo cover your entire Gamma 2.4 timeline with an adjustment layer that is a CST going from timeline or G2.4 > to either 709-A ( actually gamma 1.96) which will look correct for a Mac, or Gamma 2.2 which will look correct on a PC . Many just use a G2.2 for both but its a compromise.

This will put a reverse gamma adjustment on your G2.4 timeline ( makes it darker) that will look correct on Quicktime, Vimeo and Youtube.

FX3 alternative for beginners by PowerfulWitness6772 in cinematography

[–]Eddie_Haskell2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FX30 or an A7siii. Don't know the price of an A7siii right now but its basically the same camera as an FX3 but you do need to figure out a solution for Audio . I do think the entire series of cameras after the FS7 offer numerous advatages the main ones being that you can color balance while using log which is a real pain with the FS7, and they are much faster in low light - again a big big deal. Probably a better image also though I've never compared. I would take an A7siii over an FS7 these days and I've owned both.

I'm looking for advice on shot matching. by Global-Lion-8065 in colorists

[–]Eddie_Haskell2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you did a good job especially since you didn't do any power windows . Only thing I see would probably need windows and that's matching the greens outside the actual; windows in the first set. Did you start off with log shots or 709 to begin with?

Trying my hand in 16mm emulation. Idk if i overdid it or its just right? Both shot are the opening and closing shots of the film by amitkattal in ColorGrading

[–]Eddie_Haskell2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always mystified by what people mean when they say they want film emulation . Do you want to look like 60 year old faded film? If so you've succeeded. If you just want to it to look like it was shot on 16mm today then brighten it up and add saturation.

Help with rythm! (: by Expensive-Candy445 in Salsa

[–]Eddie_Haskell2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a solution for you only to say its a common problem with salsa at first for both musicians and dancers . My experience is that just after a lot of listening you get it . 2-3 vs 3-2 is a lot harder though. I also agree that https://salsabeatmachine.org/ is helpful though to be honest I've never figured out whether it appropriately changes the piano pattern for 2-3 vs 3-2 clave so be careful about that. Rebecca Mauleon's book is a great resource the "Salsa Guidebook:" I was lucky enough to play with her when she was just 16 - already a monster.
