    Black Magic Pocket shipping & price drop on BMCC

    Received that same email. I've preordered the Pocket Cam. Thought briefly of canceling and getting the MTF cinema cam (I have a gx1 body I can use to set aperture). But going to stick to my pocket cam order, and if price is still 2k at Christmas, ill be ordering one of those as a gift to myself.

    Site for buying scripts to read?

    I once saw, in another thread, a link to a website that was, good for buying scripts. Cant remember,which thread it was, to go back and get that link. Script writing is something I'd like to get more proficient at, and I'd like to find some to read. If anyone has a good site for getting...

    Question about OMF containers in Premiere Pro.

    I did google around, and came across this page. Will post here, in case someone comes across this, and has similar questions. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSEAE1A4D0-C089-439a-B2E5-0FA42F018544.html

    Question about OMF containers in Premiere Pro.

    I've read through the thread, and am curious about this topic, so I don't make a similar mistake myself in the future. Like H44, I edit in Permiere and composit in AE. Alcove, would you know a resource on the web (video tutorial, page to read, etc) for properly setting up sound in NLE's for...

    Very cool. Hope you'll post some test results, so we can see how it turns out.

    lighting How to light this ?

    For not too much money, you could pick up some colored gels and experiment. I use to DJ at a night club, and I was constantly changing the gels over the par can lights. If you have a music store, that sells stage lighting, you find gels that you can tape over your work lights. See which...

    lighting How to light this ?

    I'd be willing to bet that was done in post either a still frame in a photoshop type program or a clip in some sort of color grading program.

    Black Magic Pocket

    I've preordered a pocket cinema camera. Word from blackmagic is it will start to ship, in limited quantities in the next couple days. With full production and shipping gearing up over the next few weeks. 4k cam is still 3 weeks away from being ready for full production. Lots of preorders on the...

    Alternative to Davinci resolve?

    Could try Red Giants Colorista II http://www.redgiant.com/products/all/magic-bullet-colorista-II/ Apple Color Can't remember if there was a version of apple color that was updated when they released Final Cut Pro X.

    cinematography Which skin tone looks the best?

    You are correct, H.264 doesn't hold up as well to being pushed and pulled, but there is still some room in the codec for grading. If you are getting excessive noise, then you need to learn to light your scenes better. Having a large sensor, with a lens that shoots f1.4 is no excuse to not use...

    Davinci resolve lite can't find files?

    How are you importing everything? If you goto 4:00 of this video, he's importing his XML file (from premiere, but its the same as from FCP). On one of the steps, he's deselecting import source clips, because he's relinking original media, because he used proxies to edit with. Where you want to...

    Davinci resolve lite can't find files?

    What flavor of .mov is it, Prores? Is the codec support in resolve?

    Davinci resolve lite can't find files?

    When it tells you it can't find the files, its possibly because the clips aren't stored in the same place the XML was stored. When thst box pops up and tells you it can't find the clips, you just have to navigate to where you have them saved, and resolve should take it from there. Just like if...

    cinematography Which skin tone looks the best?

    You could benefit from watching some tutorials about color grading. I don't know which program you are using for the task, but if you youtube that program and color grading, I'd be willing to bet some videos will pop up. The reason I say this, is you need to learn about "primary" grading and...

    BlackMagic announces new camera

    New pocket cam footage released this weekend. https://vimeo.com/70676876 On a side note, I was able to ask John Brawley, over in another forum, if he was able to comment on RAW. He had this to say in reply.... "RAW is not likely to be ready for shipping but will be added later"

    cinematography I just want my shots to stay in focus!!

    You don't have to shoot every shot with the lens wide open. Stoping down will give you larger depth of field. If you're shooting wide open because of lack of light, you won't be very happy with a "professional" camcorder in low light settings either.
