    watch Debut Feature Film

    To my best knowledge they will be requesting DCP for their accepted entries. My research leads me to believe that the minimum requirements for DCP includes 3 audio channels (L,R, Centre). If this is incorrect it would be great to know now. In any case the latest update of PrPro CC has DCP...

    watch Debut Feature Film

    Some great advice. I plan to take the trailer back to the NLE and sort out some sort of title. I hadn't anticipated it being shared somewhere that wouldn't have the title directly written beneath, ie on YouTube; so that's a good bit of advice there. I see the grading has been mentioned a few...

    watch Debut Feature Film

    Interesting to read that you think the trailer might be a bit long. This was part of a big debate I had with the co-producer and eventually we settled on the length that we have. I would have to agree that the 'best stuff' isn't necessarily reserved for the trailer but unfortunately given the...

    How do you get a "color tinted" look in Premiere Pro?

    We seem to be getting closer. I definitely agree and think that playing around with your blend modes on a copy of the clip will get some good results.

    How do you get a "color tinted" look in Premiere Pro?

    If you want to adjust the amount of saturation in the colour tint perhaps you could apply it as an adjustment layer and use the opacity to dial in how much you want?

    watch Debut Feature Film

    Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and wanted to use this as a chance to introduce myself. I recently completed an independent feature film shot in London all for a budget of under £10k. Worked with a cast and crew of 41 people, most of whom had full time jobs and children to take care of over the...

    How long can a scene last in a montage?

    I would have to agree that with the earlier point that it's all about what you are trying to convey. I don't think there is one answer to that question. I've been fortunate to work very closely with the composer in recent projects and the flow of the music has helped dictate the length of the...

    Budget Monopod + Fluid Video Head

    I recently bought the Manfrotto MM294a4 myself. Can't fault it. Worked well for me on a 10 hour wedding video shoot.

    How do you get a "color tinted" look in Premiere Pro?

    If you desaturate the image to B&W using one effect and then add a second effect (ie colour wheels) you can use those wheels to then 'tint' the colour. Alternatively you could just use a Sepia Tone effect which I'm pretty sure Premiere Pro already has built in (Lumetri Looks: Sepia)

    Question about matching shots in color grading.

    I think that if you've not used Da Vinci Resolve previously and are on a tight deadline then it would be an uphill struggle to start now. Working with your basic levels, curves and gamma tools you should be able to get fairly decent results. The three-way colour correcter tool in PP should put...

    Adobe Primere vs Final Cut

    I'm with El Director: Go with Premiere Pro for the ease at which you can dynamically link comps between the NLE and AE. Of course, if you have a CUDA enabled Nvidia card then all the more reason to go in that direction.
