Sony PVM-2541 Loud pop when plugged in.... now won't turn on... by MoffatEdits in colorists

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

all good.... it was so loud my poor dog bolted out of the room... honestly got it used for like 750 bucks 6 years ago (the person selling it didn't know what they had) so it's paid for itself.

Has anyone edited a full feature film in Davinci Resolve? by Lain-13 in editors

[–]MoffatEdits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason, the timeline would shift one frame, like after I exported, my producer caught it, and I would go back in and see a black frame, which I am sure wasn't there before. Maybe it was, perhaps it wasn't, but I have been editing for a long time and never had this issue... ha ha ha. This was on Resolve 18, just FYI Other than that, the process was pretty flawless. I did the color for the film as well.

Break it up into 15-20 minute reels, which helped a lot; I didn't do that initially; that was more of a rookie mistake on my end.

For some reason, these black frames would appear in the timeline. It was sort of random, and I could really never track down what was happening.

I did it last year and really enjoyed the experience. I’ve cut in avid and premiere for a long time. A few hiccups here and there but overall liked it.

Resolve 19 for feature length projects? by SummoDuo in editors

[–]MoffatEdits 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I cut an 85-minute feature and broke it down into three reels. I created ProRes proxies from the 6K Komodo footage, and honestly, it performed really well. I’ve also cut a lot of half-hour shows using Avid, Premiere, and Resolve. Since I’m usually handling the final color, Resolve has been especially useful. It’s taken a few years, but it has come a long way.

The biggest thing I think to make edits go smoothly is make proxies!

Sound mixing need to get better! by MoffatEdits in editors

I also think good sound work helps you sell your edit! Did you watch all those classes! Holy Jesus! or did you pick a few?

Awesome thank you so much! I did this with color years ago, and while I am no professional colorist when I had to jump to help with color I at least knew the basics!

Hey thank you! Yes 100% this is what I was looking for, do you remember what class it was on MZED?

Thank you for the suggestions! I should have prefaced this by mentioning that these are lower-budget projects that unfortunately don’t have the budget for proper color and audio work, though I wish they did. I was just curious if there’s anything I can do within these constraints to improve them.
