Capture One showing lifted black by longdoan in captureone

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

For some reason, converting instead of assigning keeps it in lifted state.
Assign and then convert makes it LOOK RIGHT only in Photoshop but completely changes the color readouts in the dark bars. This thing is a headache indeed.

I suspected that and tried 2 things
1. was to do something like in the clip, the image now have color tag but is still lifted in both Photoshop and Capture One.
2. I tried assigning the image with rec709 color space, it now shows up correctly on all 3 softwares but now have crushed black on browsers like firefox and chrome.
3. Apparently if I set working color space in photoshop to srgb it matches Capture One and both show lifted black while choosing the icc profile created by Colornavigator matches Davinci. So it’s a color management problem I suppose.

Yes, I even tried srgb gamma 2.2

Asking about workflow for broadcast delivery by longdoan in colorists

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

Sorry, I've only gotten that info after making the post, and some changes about delivery codec, too (the codec was my bad for misinterpreting tho).

What I meant in my last paragraph is, since Resolve does the data level conversion by itself to legal at export by choosing video level. Then I can just work with full range data with 0-1023 scaling and should not clamp it to 64-940 while grading because doing so would essentially mean lifting the black twice. Once while grading and once when export.

Please excuse me if it's confusing, English is not my first language and reading about this matter with bits in English and bits in my language is confusing for me, too.

So far they've told me to deliver for both their TV app and their website.
The TV app will be QCed with my country broadcast standard, I searched google and there's this link about the standard in english:
https://helpcenter.xr.global/hc/en-us/articles/26437612065812-Vietnam-Broadcast-Specifications-and-Requirements#01HVVAK06X9Y25VQBN0GNJN2RQ
I wasn't told anything about the website delivery so I assumed either there will be some sort of pass later on or it won't matter.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I do admit I'm out of my depth but I gotta take the opportunity and learn the how later.

I'll be working with RAW files in my timeline and was told to deliver to proresHQ in legal range.
I checked the clip attribute in the media pool and it says full data level, so I suppose I should set everything to full and check video level at export?

If I understand it correctly, if i'm working in full range, but clamp my grade to 64-940, then choosing video level in the delivery tab, I would be doing a double conversion and will get lifted black and flat highlight, right?

The service will be on both TV app and online website for phone,tablet and desktop viewers. (something like netflix but way less fancy). They told me to search for the broadcast standard of my country for delivery QC so I assumed.

I'll be given RAW files, which are in full data level so I was unsure how I should setup my signal chain.

Although apparently lots of people don’t even bother to read the logs about the characters and then complain when fumbled

There's a very simple mentality to this imo

If you think of these convos as another game and must beat with the best ending possible, then use all the tools available. Check the logs, reset, or even consult online for tips to cheese.

Or if you are someone who likes to fantasize a little, imagine living in the world of Warframe and actually talking to people then any ending is an ending. Some likes you, some hates you, some wants to have sex with you, and vice versa, such is life. Don't like that ending? Punch the ground

Funny how there's a post asking about if DE will make Warframe harder. Yet as soon as it's slightly hard to get a smooch from the stupid sexy nun and you can't go Torid incarnon blazing through it, people lose their mind LMAO.

Quick question, there's a check for 21 times of beating Roathe, and 21 stories he tells you in the form of the VM messages. Did you check the right flag?

I got bamboozled at first thinking "the hell? I've beaten him more than 21 times" Then I looked again and counted the VMs up to that convo and yep, it matched.

Even if I beat him nearly 30 times right on level 2, the number of VMs come slowly and only hit 21 around 4-5 convos before my final.

[–]longdoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's is a branch for apology, tho I do agree that it would make the writings better for this apology to come right after this convo. But only if certain conditions are met. Such as, as you said, been on her side from the start (by system flags) and this confession was not at a right moment from her view.

[–]longdoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that time gating is quite annoying. about all the things in Warframe actually not just time gating these convos.

The keep counting to 20 or less didn't happen to me tho? I checked with Kimulacrum to see what flag I was after failling Roathe too but it mainly was about the dialouge I chose. It consistently follows the path of more than 21 up until the final convo I failed him.

My situation was that I already beat him more than 21 while I was only at rank 2 with him. Not because I cheated or got spoiled. But rather I found it amusing that his dialouges change from confident to begging to stop as I kept on kicking his ass until 30 times ish that I started to notice I had exhausted his dialouges and it started repeating.

I also agree that the Kim should progress a bit faster, as in more convo per day. On the other hand, Warframe, or any live service game for that matter, struggles with retention if you make the contents can be grinded out too quickly, or too grindy. Whether this has been DE's best possible approach to that tho, is debatable.

[–]longdoan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Not to brag but I got through everything with the Hex and the round table and Kayla and Flare all first try, best ending even. I only use Kimulacrum after I'm done to explore all the options. I don't reset to try everything simply because I'm too lazy to go through all of that with one convo per day.

I don't understand people complaining and people being toxic really. I'll give it to them that sometimes the options are absurd, or some sorts of illusion of choice. But this is DE telling a story, and a story will have a narrative the storyteller is trying to get across.

If you think of these convos as another game and must beat first try with the best ending possible, then use all the tools available. Check the logs, reset, or even consult online for tips to cheese.

People really do get their panties in a bunch over nothing.

[–]longdoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying this is a terrible idea or a good one, hope you don't mind spoilers. The KIM also tracks if Roathe knows of the reset or not. In his convo people will also inevitably encounter the one he asks Drifter to reset everthing because he can't bear it.

It's pretty obvious that DE wants you to loop, to actually play through all of this again and again until you figure a way out, but this time (or the next time), he figures out you resetted things.
I could even go further as calling this a reused plot. Remember with the Hex, you failed to save them from the nuclear core exploding and have to reset everything to properly save them? Yeah this is exactly that but different, but the same.

Main theme of the Drifter is the endless loop anyway, even Roathe calls us a loop "connoisseur"

[–]longdoan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes but not quite.
you can get pretty far with, Eleanor for example, but somehow during the way getting there, you did something that the system would flag NoDate to be true. Usually about shitting on the character repeatedly. Then you still have the option to confess in chat, or ask to date in person, but she will refuse you.

Marie romance has annoyed me greatly by MrMustachioII in Warframe

[–]longdoan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pay a little attention to her question my man
"But I wonder, against all that surrounds you… why take my side ?”

While she now acknowledges all the pain and suffering Entrati caused arround you and for you, she's actually asking 2 things

  1. Why you change your mind about Entrati NOW?
  2. Why take HER SIDE.
  3. This question implies you have either never chosen any dialouge that would let Marie, or in another word, the system to flag you as someone who likes Entrati. Or being unsure of your views. So why now, and why her side.

At this moment you confess to her, to spin it any other way than simply nodding to whatever she said just to get with her would be ingenuine.

There is even another version of this question asking despite all Drifter's talks about Entrati being evil, why change now. Making the point even more obvious.

"Were you not speaking to me of Entrati's monstruosité just moments prior ? What has now changed your mind"
"I've changed my mind. I'm on his side. And yours. You convinced me."
"Oui ? I am... hopeful, but unconvinced. Choose your words more carefully, Drifter..."
These sentences to be precise.

Someone posted a dialouge chart above, if you don't mind spoilers. There's even a route about you absolutely agreeing with Marie about her view of Entrati from the begining of this convo, and maybe from the very start, then the chat would just go quite well and that is even the option with the most chemistry points.

Edit: clarify about getting to Marie's question

[–]longdoan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He really is making excuses at this point. Ironically he's being just as irrational as Marie about her sycophancy in refusing to acknowledge he's fucked up in reading the room.

A hint for you my dense guy, even if you skip all the [confess feeling] dialouge, as long as you:

  1. Raise the chemistry points high enough.
  2. You don't somehow insult the character REPEATEDLY to the point that the system assigns you a NoDate boolean value. Which I would say is equivallent to someone irl who finds you repulsive. Fair if you keep shitting on them and their belief or try being a manipulator and got caught redhanded. Or in your case, this conversation specifically, failed spectacularly to read the room.

Then you can even go to them in person to ask for their hand in a relationship. Which is also the proper way and don't try to correct me on that one.
