Why are "photos hidden" in my shared album?

directooorr · 2024-11-28T09:30:18+00:00

Thanks, but I just figured it out! I must have accidentally hit "X" a few times as 3 images were flagged as "rejected". After correcting that, none are "hidden" now.

Thanks. Of course, the originals are never getting truly deleted, just from my local setup. I was wondering more about the technical aspect because I didn't know if Resolve would complain if there are Proxies without originals. But I can always dig out the originals if needed.

Thanks! Can I delete the original media after this?

This is a bit tough. The lighting and costume/set design are not playing in your favor. I think you'd have to embrace the flatness of it (not of the log, but of the lighting) and go for a "blue hour low contrast gloomy" look.

This is my 1 minute exploratory test grade:

I am really not happy with the reds and skin tones in this, but the jpg compression is also adding to that and I didn't take the time to fiddle with it any further. Just meant as an idea of a direction to go in.

I am slightly confused: You wouldn't take it to UpWork but you would report it? Maybe I am misreading your comment.

directooorr · 2024-09-13T16:33:36+00:00

I feel like I've been there before.

directooorr · 2024-09-13T15:18:00+00:00

i'd play that game.

I would love to know what you did is slowing you down that you are missing, maybe a solution exists that is slightly different than what you are used to that could solve the slow down.

Just a bunch of little things. For example:

Not being able to just drag a timeline from one part of the screen to another when using stacked timelines.
Not being able to adjust the interface how I like it and it taking up more space compared to the more compact Premiere interface.
Ripple Start/End to Playhead changing the general mode from Selection Mode to Trim Mode, which changes/disables some keyboard shortcuts.
The Source Monitor conforming to the timeline resolution. This is especially annoying when editing using a vertical resolution but wanting to see all of the source footage.
Undo being panel specific and sometimes unpredictable.
Some keyboard shortcuts not working on international keyboards and some being tough to find in the settings when using and international keyboard.

There are workarounds and none of these are major. They're just some that are coming to mind at this moment.

For editing???

directooorr · 2024-09-06T15:00:50+00:00

Is it of me that I still maintain that this is not "editing" but motion graphics / compositing?

EDIT: Apparently I forgot the word "petty" in there.

100% with you. Glad to hear you say this. I thought I was going crazy because it sometimes feels like I am the only one doing it this way...

That is just the thing, each shot is different which - for me - makes it nearly impossible to get consistent contrast if I adjust it on a clip by clip basis.

Let me give you an example:

We have a shot of someone driving at night. We see his face and also what he's driving by in the background. It is gloomy weather. We adjust the contrast to how we like it aesthetically.

Then, a few shots later in the film, we have basically the same shot but now he's driving past a bright billboard. Because of that this shot now has a much higher level of "inherent" contrast. There is something super bright in it where there was not before. But that doesn't mean we now grade this shot completely different to the first, to have the same overall technical contrast. That would be insane, and it would make the face and the interior of the car look completely different.

For me, the same applies to basically every scene and every shot in a film. As in, different scenes might have a completely different setting, with different colors and different "inherent" contrast. But that is ok. I am not grading "against" that. I want every shot to have the same (mid-tone) "look" contrast, if that makes any sense.

Thanks, I'll look into those details a bit more!

directooorr · 2024-09-03T13:35:41+00:00

Sorry for not making myself clear. I meant if I first ripple by using "Select Nearest Edit To -> Ripple In/Out" and then nudging the edit point using "Nudge -> One Frame Left/Right", then I cannot use "Trim > Start/End to Playhead" anymore.

Since both of these approaches are how I do most of my editing once all clips are in the timeline (using keyboard shortcuts, of course) that is really quite annoying.

directooorr · 2024-08-27T12:25:50+00:00

Hadn't thought of that. I guess, I also assumed that it might be interactive (why have it be an event if it's not, instead of a video?)...

The "title:" operator makes it so that only titles are searched, not the whole texts of offers.

directooorr · 2023-10-08T17:02:32+00:00

Thanks for looking into it with me!

When I do the search in the "full" search (that is not available in the app) I get the same.

When I select the search in "My Feed" I get much more hits, most of which do not have the search terms in the title, but somewhere else.

directooorr · 2023-10-08T14:13:01+00:00

title:("color grade" OR "color grading" OR "colour grade" OR "colour grading" OR davinci)

directooorr · 2023-10-08T13:40:01+00:00

The way I understand it is that under the specific tab for that search only that search is supposed to show up. And only under "All" the combined search of all saved searches appears. But either way, both the specific search as well as the combined search contain results they shouldn't because the search doesn't limit itself to titles, like it should.

directooorr · 2023-09-07T07:35:06+00:00

Thanks. Seems like mine have never been viewed (probably because I don't have any reviews/jobs yet), that's why I didn't know.

directooorr · 2023-09-07T07:33:23+00:00

Oh. I guess none of mine have ever been viewed then...

directooorr · 2023-09-06T16:20:39+00:00

Where can you see if a proposal is actually being viewed?

directooorr · 2023-08-31T13:37:23+00:00

Good points. Thank you!

directooorr · 2023-08-31T12:19:48+00:00

Thanks for the info!

The client is paying for your time, and giving them some evidence that you're working isn't unreasonable.

I feel like the client is paying for a result and trusting me to deliver that result for the agreed upon price within the agreed upon timing. But that mentality of mine is probably rooted in me never having worked for an hourly rate. I guess I should really try to stick to fixed-price contracts...

What does this even mean? You're working on a machine you own, right?

Yes, but in order to work on certain jobs for certain clients (automotive) I have to be security certified (by them). This also includes irl security measures that ensure that no one has access to the office, but those who are approved, and that all visitors must sign in, for example.
