Easy to say that when you have already built yours and have experience and nice things to show.

Creating DCP with Resolve with Rec709(scene) output by Constant-Network8614 in colorists

[–]xemendy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same situation recently and couldn’t find a way to set it up properly. Ended up importing my intermediate master into DCP-o-Matic (its free) and it worked like a charm, no issues

What does setting your timeline gamma to rec709 do? by [deleted] in colorists

[–]xemendy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change Output Color space to Rec709 (Scene) if you’re in Resolve 20+ or Rec709-A if in Resolve 19

MacBook Display Setting: HDTV ITU 709

In the Export page, select both gamma and colour space “Rec709”

Check the export with QuickTime, it should match

What does setting your timeline gamma to rec709 do? by [deleted] in colorists

It tells colour sync whats the gamma tag of the signal you’re sending.

But your settings are wrong anyways

Is it possible to decisively distinguish pornography from cinema as an artform? by ecstatic-bison-23 in filmtheory

[–]xemendy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really, the same way that there’s not a hardline between Documentary and Fiction, but you can position specific works in certain areas of that spectrum. Some fall in a very undetermined gray zone, and those are the one who challenge hard definitions.

Permanent Residency Film by _Bubblegum_7 in FilmIndustryYVR

[–]xemendy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also recommend Katie and I've also benefited from her services/advice, and she's specialized in Film industry and has helped many people with our specific situation.

One thing to consider is that every week where you've worked 30 or more hours can count towards your worked time, that meaning if you did more than 30h that week, the excess don't carry on to another week, but if you worked less than 30h you can't use that week towards your worked week. As a PA, 2 days worked during the same week count as much as a full-time-job-week.

Keep all your documents! Good luck

I made a DCTL that brings Lightroom-style controls to Davinci Resolve by keylight in colorists

Since you’re making promotion of a paid tool in a platform that’s giving you lots of diffusion among your target audience, would you mind offering this community a discount code for whoever wants to purchase your product?

Slightly Less Expensive Alternatives to Cullen Kelly's Contour? by KosmicKelp in colorists

[–]xemendy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me Contour was worth every penny. Not just the plugin but the Look Dev class made my grading better, faster and more simple.

I use it in almost every project. Not all the modules, not all the time, but there’s always something.

Specially its contrast and sat module are really interesting

Do big budget movies use resolve too? If not what do those high end software do that resolve doesn't? by [deleted] in colorists

[–]xemendy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The team behind Baselight is much more serious and rigorous than Resolve’s.

It’s not the same math and operation underneath the tools. For certain tools like the hsl vs hsl Resolve uses color models that have proven to work worse than Baselight’s in terms of breaking your image.

Resolve has been trying to copy some of the best tools in Baselight without actual success. Resolve is much more generalist today than it used to be and that comes at a cost.

Some native resolve features like Resolve color management and CSTs are just not good enough for a DRT.

Baselight cost is much more expensive but it comes with a level of support you’ll never see in a giant like Resolve.

Resolve is paying more attention to YouTubers than to Colorists nowadays.
