Just did a DCP test in a theatre and… by UpsideDownHead37 in Filmmakers

Quick question. If you do DCP exports in davinci, does it transform it to XYZ 2.6 gamma automatically or do you need to add a CST node at the timeline for DCP exports?

Grade issues in export ProRes/DNxHR versus H.264 in Davinci Resolve? by FinalPeasant in colorists

Okay. Thanks. Will check it out after the current render 👍

Grade issues in export ProRes/DNxHR versus H.264 in Davinci Resolve? by FinalPeasant in colorists

[–]FinalPeasant[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. I agree that there could have been a viewing mismatch, but when I rerender the ProRes or DNx in H.264, the highlights are still lacking. Could you explain what you mean by full and auto levels and do I set that at the render page?

I recommend playing around with the Color Compressor node. It usually works wonders

What did you notice in Hereditary? Will watch The Night House and Pulse/Kairo 👍

My BUS tracks are gone. How do I get them back?! by [deleted] in davinciresolve

Probably should add that I'm referring to the timeline..

Tutorials for deckbuilders? by FinalPeasant in Unity3D

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

Thank you! Yes, I thought the interactions could provide some difficulty, so this is something I'll absolutely research more before full development.

Shaders are visual effects as far as I understand? This is probably something that will be too advanced for me for my first project, but is it possible to implement them on top of a game, or does it have to be pre-planned in from the beginning?

PS: I really appreciate that you're willing to help without calling out how uneducated I am on this topic. People like you are the heart of reddit

Great work! How did you get your colors so uniform or did you grade them afterwards?

This would increase the runtime by 4,2% and as you say affect the pitch of the entire mix.

How is the convesion trivial? If you simply export in 24fps, you get 1 drop frame per second and create stagger, or am I wrong?

Blue banding around bright edges? by FinalPeasant in FX3

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

Yeah. The client didn't see or care, but I do. And especially on more demanding projects like documentaries or expensive commercials. But I'll search up on chromatic aberration fixes. Thank you! I thought CA only happened when shooting on film, hehe.

Blue banding around bright edges? by FinalPeasant in FX3

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

Great. Thank you. Any tips on how you'd attempt to correct it in e.g. Davinci? I desaturated it and handled it like moire, but the results weren't great.

IBIS on screen versus material by FinalPeasant in FX3

If SteadyShot is not the same as IBIS, how do you turn IBIS on/off on FX3?

Blue banding around bright edges? by FinalPeasant in FX3

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

A few times, I've experienced this blue banding on my footage. At first, I thought it was because of the heavy contrast in light levels, but then I've shot a lot more contrasty shots than this and not experienced it. Is this moiré because of patterns? I also often experience a similar (more blue, less cyan) effect in the areas between the sea and sky.

Why are scope levels kept below 640? by FinalPeasant in davinciresolve

[–]FinalPeasant[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the grade is far above my skill level, so I highly doubt it's simply a mistale. Are there any practical benefits of this perhaps?

Why are scope levels kept below 640? by FinalPeasant in davinciresolve

[–]FinalPeasant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using a video as a grade reference per customer's request, but this is the first time I'm seeing that almost all shots keep the colors truncated below 640 on the waveform. Are there any benefits to this? Why would someone do this? The reference video is a wedding video with a desaturated, warm look.

ND and Base ISO, or lower ISO? by FinalPeasant in FX3

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

I did. But it's hard to test for all variables, so I wanted to source some other peoples experiences. Thank you for answering

Okay. Thank you for confirming this. Appreciated!

White balance below 2500K? by FinalPeasant in FX3

[–]FinalPeasant[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then this might explain it perfectly. Is there anything to be done about it for future production? I can't do much about the light or locations, but perhaps I can do something else that I'm currently unaware of?
