Comment on My Thoughts on FCPx by Marcus Samuel-Gaskin

Exactly the same here. Im in no hurry to run over to Resolve yet. I installed it on my ATI setup here and I barely got ANY fps out of it, even though it’s suposed to run on ATI hardware now. As a consequence I can’t even train on it.

Even though Resolve is affordable, and in one sense, ‘free’, it requires deep expenditure in new hardware that I can’t afford right now.

I’m waiting to see what Apple are doing with the future of the Mac Pro.

I’m also waiting on Thunderbolt to mature as I really think the ‘Workstation’ model is on the way out. A significnt rev of the iMac in 2012 along TB i/o and TB monitoring could be the future for me.

Comment on Colorist Tip #45 – Monitors by Will

I have recently aquired a JVC DT-V24G11Z for color grading. Right now I’m using Apple Color, but I want to expand to Resolve in the future. But at the moment, with my MacBook Pro laptop, am I able to get the blue-gun only with a DVI connection? Do I need to get the Matrox box? It’s $1,000, kind of expensive. Is a probe enough? And what about the software for a probe? Or should I get a professional to calibrate the monitor with a MicroSpec Spectroraiometer? How long would that kind of calibration last? I’m also thinking of building a linux system. What kind of card would I need in the computer to plug into this monitor? Thanks in advance!

Even if Apple isn’t supporting it, Color is still a very powerful tool, and will probably remain so for at least another year or two (as will FCP7 I think). The main catch will come when new codecs and formats come out and get popular quickly. That said, I haven’t put all my eggs in one basket . I used Color because it’s readily available with the FCP suite, but I also know Resolve, Lustre (well, moreso EFILM’s “EWorks” variant, but it’s not too different) and Color Finesse. Eventually (when I can afford it), I’ll probably move to Resolve, but in my daily workflow Color still suffices.

Now that Color has been EOLed, will you be switching to different color correction software in the future?

Sadly the bad things are the most important… :S

Glad you enjoyed it! This was more of an intro, so hopefully I can do a more advanced video in the future

Hey Aron,

Thanks for sharing that vid, it was great! I really enjoyed your workflow tips and explanations of why you first balance, then add a look and then refine with keys, etc.

Thanks again,

Matt

Thanks for posting this video, Aaron! It’s super helpful to see you walk through the process and give the basic steps. I’m currently editing a documentary, and we’re just about to head into the color correction stage using Colorista 2, so it’s cool to see it in action before we dive in.
