Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)
Okay this is a weird one that I have never experienced before and wanted to see if anyone else has.
THE PROBLEM
XML from FCPX to Resolve doing my standard prep in FCPX to get everything as tidy as possible, remove attributes, etc. Mostly get everything on a single track. But, when I open this...
I have to state that typically, I am usually at least one Mac OS behind the latest and greatest, usually choosing stability over new features. That has worked out well for me. But, there were some improvements in FCPX 10.5 as well as some plugins that required a move either to Catalina or Big...
If anyone has one in great shape and reasonably priced let me know. Or if something has come on the market that is better (smoother) at this price point, let me know. I need a more compact rig than my Dana Dolly that actually can pull off smooth, controlled movements. Been a while since I looked...
Anyone using one of these on the newer generation of REDs such as Helium? Are there any compatibility issues in terms of the PL mount? I've used it on an Epic W. But want to use it next week on a Helium to check flange depth.
So as we all know, Xfinity Comcast has been doing some shady stuff over the years when it comes to taxes/fees, etc. Although I have a pretty big axe to grind with that and have expressed my frustration with their not so subtle scamming of their customer's money, this is not the time or place for...

I mean, I work with all kinds of cameras, not devoted to only shooting RED. I've loved a lot of things RED has done, and disagreed with plenty. This article just rings hollow to me.
Chuck has some fair points and I won't take any shots at him for his opinion. The "everyone...
Did I miss something or was the Jinnimag thread completely removed from the site?
Perhaps it was mentioned why it had to be removed right before it was. Or am I just not seeing it? I'm trying to keep tabs on the developments with the mags as it is sure to come up in conversations with people...
In researching haze machines for some upcoming shoots, I came across these documents from the Actor's Equity and it gave me some pause.

I've long supported software companies. I have always been against pirated software. I understand the challenges that software companies have in terms of cash flow. But I want to ask the community (and I know some of you are programmers) are we heading for a tipping point with the subscription...
I'm running into this situation more and more. Client wants me to download youtube video to insert into a video we're editing. I'm aware that downloading Youtube videos is against Youtube's policy and admittedly this isn't an ideal way to get video, but most of the time these are videos that the...
Most of my rigs are now well under the 22-55lb payload of the Arrow 55. So I need to go with another head. Looking to unload this quickly so going with an aggressive price.

Anyone using Helios Pro? I have the regular version and for the most part it's pretty good but the new one sounds incredible. Wondering if anyone is using it out in the real world and what your take is so far? It's not expensive ($30) but at the same time would rather not throw away money. I...
Looking for real world feedback of how how eGPU enclosures are performing as of today on both TB2 and TB3 Macs. A 25% increase in performance for example, would actually be huge for one of my systems right now as it’s right on the edge of capability for exporting UHD 29.97 timeline in Resolve...
Am I understanding the situation correctly, that Adobe has removed previous versions of their software from the Application Manager? What I've seen mentioned is a licensing issue with Dolby. If David is still poking around Reduser and can comment, I would appreciate it. I will also try to...
I'm involved in a project that is in need of some aerials from a drone (can't afford helicopter). We have a drone operator who is licensed and has applied for clearance for the shots (the area is a bit sensitive so we're trying to go the legal route). The project is non-commercial, PSA. No one...
PWC has been in charge of the secure handling of Oscar winners for 83 years, and by all accounts this is something taken very seriously and not something that a company with $36 Billion dollars in annual revenue would let its guard down and risk its reputation with an incompetent series of...
Tom Stern and Reed Morano did a workshop at Camerimage back in 2013 and there are some interesting moments throughout this discussion. One common theme you'll hear is that they don't want a sharp, digital image and they are often trying to take the edge off (the Alexa). At least at that time...
