I'm setting up a machine today to start testing metal, to see if we can move away from open CL on Mac's, as this 'should' be the solution to RGB lines in preview/export when working on nMP 6.1's. Just wanted to see if anyone else is testing with Metal at the moment too?

Hi, does anyone know of an app or program, that you can load in an FCP7 project file, then dump out an XML (Premiere compatible or DVR). I've got hundreds, if not thousands of project files that i need to convert, so a batch program would be even better! Any pointers, tips or ideas welcome!

Need something solid and fast for 8k shooting in the middle of nowhere. I know various rigs exist but i know they're constantly evolving too and the people that build them lurk around here! What products should i be researching? Thanks

Hi, So i'm doing some VR rendering in W10. 3840 x 1920 is the project setting and export setting. I've got 2x Pascal GPU's running in CUDA (todays driver) Manual (headless) mode, 1 is also acting as the UI. Source footage is cineform 422, but very dark. So, with both the built in NR in 12.5.2...

So, let's take Adele as an example. What source audio recording will they use to put into the final mix for Bond? I'm guessing it's a high quality file, direct from Abbey Road, right? Now, let's take a movie like Superbad, where they use classic tracks, some of which are decades old. Do they...

Hi All. I left the UK in March 2013 after deciding to leave my job (Head of Post-Production) during a company restructure, so that I could travel the world and make use of some working holiday visas before I got too old! It´s been a great trip and an amazing experience, but alas, all good things...

I've been wondering and searching for a while, to find a true and accurate definition of HDR. Obviously it stands for high dynamic range, but what does that actually mean? We all know the best cameras on the market can offer about 16 stops of dynamic range. Are people able to pull more range out...

I'm getting really annoyed with fake 3D. It's doing a disservice to the industry. Let's take the new X-MEN film as an example. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1877832/technical?ref_=tt_dt_spec Even after looking at the specs, i can't tell if it was shot with 2 Arri cameras in a rig, or just shot...
