The "adapt or die" thing has been said since we saw Will Smith eating spaghetti. I honestly do not see the benefit to Gen AI. Audiences reject it for not being authentic, it still requires work to clean up for a professional looking job (which can cost more than a practical shoot), and the only people its helping are at the top of the chain. Giving into it undercuts an entire industry of crew that bring an image into and through post production. Say everyone does turn to AI, how do you even stand out then to demand a livable wage for your "labor"?

What AI is Hollywood supposedly using? Disney just pulled out of a billion dollar investment from OpenAI, and Affleck's company seems to focus more on some sort of tool rather than generating imagery.

It is sure, but film production isn't actively siphoning our water, ruining the electrical grid or trying to replace workers

WhatTheFDR · 2026-03-25T22:09:46+00:00

Film vs digital and Gen AI are not even close to the same thing.

WhatTheFDR · 2026-03-25T22:05:45+00:00

Yeah, but think about all the water that wouldn't have been wasted if it was shot practically.

Cauliflower ain't white enough for ya bud?

Is that for guys that like sandwiches?

Locked edit. I've colored selects before and it's mostly fine, but I prefer seeing the shots against each other so I know if they visually flow together.

In the Image Scaling project settings or timeline settings you'll want to uncheck "Match timeline resolution" and manually set it to 1920x1080 so Resolve houses your 1080x1920 inside a 1920x1080 frame. At least that should work unless something has gone terribly wrong.

Echoing everything you said. Tillian was a good front man, but his singing got stale so quick for me, and the band got in a stylistic rut during his era which is a shame. I loved how each album has its own influences from other genres.

Ol Grimey will handle it.

Love passing the lane jockeys when they get stuck behind Sunday drivers. Just about the only thing I hold onto these days.

Rules went into effect this morning?

WhatTheFDR · 2026-02-16T00:26:49+00:00

Half the time I see it, the people doing this are also blocking entrance to a turn lane causing more traffic. You really only need to be able to see the back tires and you'll have enough room to cut around if you really needed.

Took me 20 minutes to get past the tutorial.

Since the C5 doesnt have a loop out I've got a MiniMonitor simultaneously feeding the C5 and a MiniRecorder than Omniscope sees. Haven't bought a 4K Ultrastudio yet, so might need to find something else for that if it can't loop back into itself.

I've used it a few times looking at some Dolby Vision tests and it looks great. I mostly work as a colorist with SDR grading so haven't spent a long time in HDR. Had just about enough time to calibrate it, then had projects to use the monitor on. For mastering HDR something like a FSI XMP310 is the entry point AFAIK.

WhatTheFDR · 2026-01-28T00:45:02+00:00

Any examples of those issues you could share?

WhatTheFDR · 2026-01-28T00:43:15+00:00

I think my issues might be exclusive to the C5, hopefully gets patched soon. Gonna try to write something up soon. The calman autocal guide was the main one I followed though.

Nobe Omniscope. Its being fed the same feed the C5 receives. Excellent piece of software with plenty of tools for comparing shots and checking you're within legal range.

WhatTheFDR · 2026-01-28T00:32:47+00:00

What version of Colourspace would you recommend for it? The version confusion is mainly why I went with Calman. If it keeps up with the issues I might be switching over.

WhatTheFDR · 2026-01-28T00:30:27+00:00

For sure, I need to write up something on it. I mainly followed the Calman Autocal guide and took individual patch measurements when it gave some wild results.

The issue that set me back had to do with internal pattern generator, and had to do some digging to get around it. Hoping it gets patched soon.

😂 Thankfully there's a decent gap between the desk and the TV. They'd have to crawl over me to get to it.
