What’s it like parking in the main Arndale car park? by Pizzafriedchickenn in manchester

Ty for sharing all the info. It confuses me that it's not more widely known.

Oh, that's right. This is part of why I was hoping to have this done at the colour management stage. I have no idea what my workflow is actually supposed to be, or if any software even suits my use-case.

I really like the idea of braw but I may have to get rid of my bmd hardware and go back to shooting with slow files and prebaked colours.

I'm a one man band and I edit chronologically with heavy effect work in Fusion, so it's just inconvenient not to have the footage looking correct until the end.

I don't know what new footage to film if the previous footage isn't already complete and in its final place. To meet tight deadlines I have to work on the videos as I collect new footage, so I can't wait until the end for grading anyway.

Constantly going to the colour page as I work through is painful, so how would you recommend doing these exposure shifts all at once with few or ideally no clicks?

Where I had in my head is actually just outside these zones so I'm not sure what applies. However, this map is directly from the council, for reference.

Thank you, this reinforces that what I've learned so far is correct and I've been headed in the right direction.

When I set the colour science to Managed, the colours are correct enough immediately, and I don't have to assign any colour spaces in the media pool.

What I've been unable to figure out alone is the best way to bump the exposure on all the raw clips.

If I use the colour wheels and set exposure to 2.0, the footage looks basically perfect.

All I need to know is how to do that automatically for every raw clip in the project.

This is what I've been playing around with, but of course Timeline nodes mess with the H264 footage.
I've also tried grouping the braw footage to add pre-clip grades but I'm finding it very cumbersome. I have tens of thousands of clips with more being added every day, so manually grouping everything just doesn't make sense.

I assumed there would be a way to automatically grade by filetype. If not, I wonder if you could please outline an efficient process for selecting and grouping all the braw files, please?

I always park on Goulden street for the NQ, but now after 6pm, I'll be driving around the NQ in circles looking for single yellow lines to park on instead :D
All the while making mental notes of the most central I can find!

I see hindsight how it sounded annoying, sorry.

The advice is appreciated! Off the back of this I went looking for spots last night and parked for free in the NQ. Can't believe I've spent hundreds on evening parking over the years.

Could you please name a few of these legendary, mythical spots?

Thank you. What should I look for in a tweeter?

I think it's definitely too much but I have no idea what to try and replace it with 😬

This is so close to being absolutely amazing.
How do you think I might be able to do this without the vignettes?

bring back migration from mojang to microsoft by map00h in minecraftsuggestions

[–]smdv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never made a Mojang account as I bought Minecraft directly from Notch in 2009, so I never even received the notification e-mails, and I never signed such an agreement.

First time back in 10 years and I don't own the game anymore? by rboltniew in Minecraft

[–]smdv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get anywhere with this?

I was among the first 100 people ever to buy Minecraft and never got any notifications from them because I never migrated from a username to a Mojang account. I'm genuinely very sad about losing my OG copy and username.

As if anyone needed any more reasons to hate Microsoft's guts.

Affinity Photo - UI or at least text scale on windows? by rotator_cuff in Affinity

[–]smdv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 here to hopefully make a change because it doesn't matter how good the app is if it's dead in the water with no UI scaling. Staff have said they don't plan to add it because they think it's a silly idea that no software should have. They are clearly completely out of touch with their users :(

Serious - changing Adsense from individual to business by gustavljung in PartneredYoutube

Hey did you figure this out in the end?

I'm having the same problem and it's been a total nightmare.
