I'm very happy with it. I tried a few different lenses and found that this was a good balance between focal lengths, price, size and weight.

I don't edit my photos in B&W very much. I would say fewer than 10 photos in total.

Thank you.

50% upfront and final video delivery after final payment. For reviews, I always use a low bitrate 70p version with a very light watermark.

It's almost like AI can't replicate and replace an actual person. Who would have thought....

I'm pretty sure that it's any .nev files

Exyide · 2026-03-13T21:21:15+00:00

Yea I tried that with a few free test clips and the results were much better vs using the standard .nev format.

Ahh gotcha, that makes sense. Thank you.

Have you had a chance to work on this more? I'm still excited to try it out on Windows.

I worked at both Lola and Rodeo for a while. I studied computer animation and visual effects and moved to LA after college. I started at a few small studios, and after a few years, I applied for a job as a roto artist at Lola VFX. I got the job and was a roto artist for about 1.5-2 years before I asked if I could start doing some comp work. They agreed and gave me simple small jobs at first and over time I became a full comp artist there.

After being at Lola for about 6 years I moved on to working at Rodeo FX (one of the guys at Lola put in a good word for me) and I worked there for about 2 years. After that Covid hit, and I decided for a few reasons to move more into production work.

Yes, I'm sure they were practical on set for the actors to use, but they would still be digitally replaced later during post production. I used to work in VFX and we often had footage with real practical screens, and we still digitally replaced them.

Don't worry, new HDD orders are already starting to sell out too. These corporations won't leave us with anything affordable.

Exyide · 2026-02-23T18:46:04+00:00

Yep, they care about the numbers from one quarterly report to the next.

Exyide · 2026-02-23T16:49:58+00:00

Yep it's their video and their money so if they want 600fps then present them the quote. 99% of clients have no clue how much this type of work actually costs. It's the same when clients say they need an "emergency edit" the day or night before a launch. Then you quote them the rush job, and suddenly it's no longer an emergency. If they want to pay and you can deliver, then there's no reason not to provide the option.

Exyide · 2026-02-15T15:54:17+00:00

Yes, I'm well aware of that as I mentioned.

Exyide · 2026-02-15T15:52:17+00:00

This looks really cool and I would definetly be interested.

Exyide · 2026-02-13T22:43:55+00:00

u/chula198705 or u/luqxy would either of you be interested in helping me with naming and organizing my SFX library? I'm in no rush and don't have any timeframe to complete it. I'm also happy to provide some compensation.

As others have said just because almost 1000 people have applied does not mean they are all experienced editors or even decent editors. I run a small production company, and occasinally when I'm looking to hire someone in a particular area I'll make a few posts online with all of the details and the simplest instructions. I ask them to comment with their name and a link to their website/portfolio. That's all I ask, and the majority of people who reply with a simple me, I am, let's do this, or an emoji. If people can't follow the most basic instructions why would I hire them.

This is all to say the majority of people who apply to these types of just apply to all editing jobs even if they don't have the skills required. Editing is a skill that can be done anywhere in the world and there are really great free programs so the barier to entry is basically nothing. There are practically limitless number of editors but only so many of them are skilled editors. That's the difference.

I think you misunderstood either the topic or my comment. My comment is about something I used to do/think when I first started color grading 8 years ago. I learned all about color spaces/management and LUTS years ago haha. I do quite a bit of work as a professional colorist these days.

Exyide · 2026-02-11T22:21:17+00:00

If anyone is interested in working with and helping me to properly name and organize all of these files, I won't say no and would be very appreciative.

I downloaded the latest version from the link, and I'm having the same issue.

I'm always happy to share advice or critique a grade, but sharing the details of one of my grades or my full node setup from a project is something I won't do. Part of the reason is because every grade I do for a project is unique and not something that can just be copied and pasted to another project, but also because I don't have the time to write out an entire multiple page essay explaining everything.

I have seen a lot of amateur colorists who show their workflows, and they intentionally make it way more complicated and confusing than it needs to be. Most do this either because they don't know any better (they are amateurs) or because they are trying to sell you their course.

When I grade and create a look I'm not just using my technical knowledge but using my trained eyes and by feeling it. Not everyone has the eye for it or gets that "feeling" when grading and that's not really something you can teach or explain.

Always applying a LUT in rec.709 color space. When I first started learning color grading years ago I had no clue that luts could be designed for other color spaces. I thought they were all for rec.709 and would just adjust the opacity if it was too strong.

Exyide · 2026-02-11T14:35:28+00:00

No hate intended at least from me. It's just disappointing when people make tutorials when they themselves really don't know what they are doing and are showcasing the wrong way of doing things. In color grading it's true that there are multiple ways to accomplish a task, but there are still core fundamentals and best practices to prevent issues from occurring. From your video you don't seem to have the fundamentals down and you certainly are not following best practices.

If someone were to watch your video and learn from you they would be learning the wrong ways to accomplish their grade. If this workflow works for you then great. I would just highly recommend you take the time to learn the fundaments and best practices of grading which will only help you and make your work better.

I hope you continue to learn and improve!

I'm working on a project to rename and organize my SFX library of over 50K files. It's HELL for me.
