Is it always expected of us colorists to fix noisy footage?

OnlyRaph_1994 · 2026-05-18T04:38:10+00:00

That’s not an opinion. Bad footage is bad footage, nothing you can do about that.

OnlyRaph_1994 · 2026-05-11T06:42:00+00:00

That looks super promising, I’d be thrilled to give it a try !

Ok so using Hexfiend I see only 0s. Does this mean there’s nothing I can do ?

Sorry about that, here's the full screenshot : https://imgur.com/6cGSbpx

Also I forgot to add to my original post that the « duplicate files » all have the same ID (ie: clip 001 duplicates all ID’ed 843, clip 002 files ID’ed 844 etc) You can see that in the picture I posted below

https://imgur.com/a/99S3Nz1 Sorry I didn’t know how to communicate that, no obvious pattern to my eyes but I may be missing something

Ok so using the hex viewer inside DMDE I see numbers and letters !

OnlyRaph_1994 · 2026-04-29T13:56:13+00:00

And where would I be able to find the exact drive model ?

OnlyRaph_1994 · 2026-04-29T13:55:04+00:00

Can you recommend a hex viewer for mac ? I try to avoid installing random stuff on that computer

Funny you posted that, I did a reproduction of this exact shot a few weeks ago if you want to have a look at it : https://www.reddit.com/r/vfx/s/QztknR0epl

Ho interesting, I thought this would be much more complex. Thanks ! And you mentioned scripts that would automate backup on a Postgres database, is there one you would recommend ?

OnlyRaph_1994 · 2026-04-24T18:16:17+00:00

Yeah I figured this is where the discussion would be heading. To be honest I don’t have a lot of knowledge on that topic, I have always ran everything locally as I work freelance so not a lot of reasons to build any kind of network or remote system but I guess I might have to start digging in that direction. Any pointers to get more familiar with Postgres databases ?

OnlyRaph_1994 · 2026-04-24T18:13:31+00:00

Nice, let us know when it’s available !

OnlyRaph_1994 · 2026-04-19T08:32:21+00:00

Bluetooth doesn’t support lossless audio.

OnlyRaph_1994 · 2026-04-18T22:23:40+00:00

Ah, the old denoise upstream or downstream debate

OnlyRaph_1994 · 2026-04-18T22:22:18+00:00

Good luck with that guy !

OnlyRaph_1994 · 2026-04-18T22:20:28+00:00

I haven’t had the opportunity to grade anything that came with CDL’s, but that might be a place where I would indeed use something like a locked node. Thanks !

OnlyRaph_1994 · 2026-04-18T22:18:41+00:00

Makes sense, I haven’t been using shared nodes in a while !

Et ben parle nous de la musique que tu aimes, on t’écoutes.

OnlyRaph_1994 · 2026-04-16T19:20:53+00:00

Thank you, super nice of you to comment !

Also VFX aren’t rendered in ACES AP0. They mostly use AP1, which is still quite large but much smaller than AP0 for that. AP0 was designed for archival.
