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 :)
I know, this topic has been beaten to death. However, I've been doing a lot of thinking about what tools I own, what I want to use in the future, etc. And when re-examining the Adobe subscription plan, I think they can do better. In fact, I would say Avid has probably handled pricing options...
Introduced in V12 is the new YRGB Color Managed setting. I'm trying to experiment with this and understand how RED footage is best integrated with the Input, Timeline and Output settings. Has anyone used this yet? Thoughts? The current project I'm playing around with is Red One MX and Epic MX...
Upon the release of FCPX I was in the camp of the disappointed. Mainly because of how it was launched, with some key features missing and an arrogance that I didn't think was appropriate at the time (for example, saying FCP7 was going away). A smoother, less aggressive approach may have been...
Okay, I'm always down for a good conspiracy discussion. I know politics is not really allowed here, so I think we'll needto keep it tame in that regard. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a quick look

I think anyone that has worked in the industry for a long time has probably seen the changes that have occurred in the process of making a film now compared to say twenty years ago. Without rehashing all of the changes in production in regards to budgets, time, etc. I'll just jump straight to...
I'd like to ditch the PC laptop that I only use for monitor calibration tools. Looking at VMWare Fusion as an alternative to throw on my 13" MBP Retina. I will literally only use it for calibration tools. My questions, for those who have used it extensively:
Has it been stable and reliable for...
In an ideal world, our lenses would never extend when we focus them. All focus would be internal. However, sometimes we want to use glass that just so happens to extend and if we want to use a mattebox with these lenses we need a way for the lens to extend without resistance. So, in my case I...
I'm following the lead of some of the other lens threads that have been very good collections of images shot on those lenses such as the Leica R thread. I am in the planning stages of directing a short film this spring and I've been studying images in those other threads to get a sense of my...
It's often discussed how there are just a few basic story lines that can be found in all of literature, films, etc. Polti breaks this down into 36 dramatic situations. But of course, we know that it's all in the details that makes something elevate to the realm of great literature, a great film...
This book from Steve Hullfish is excellent and for those unfamiliar with Avid or have wondered why anyone would use it because it's only capable of up to 1080P this book does a great job of explaining current workflows and tapping the minds of some of Hollywood's best assistant editors, editors...
I need a quick 3D animation program to do some fairly basic tasks for animating logos in 3D space, etc. I tried this app a long time ago and it was pretty decent and easy to get into. I don't really have much interest in becoming a 3D animator, so it looks like Kinemac would be a good solution...
For the most part, I enjoy a lot of the conveniences that modern technology brings to us. I can shop online for gear, I can use a debit/credit card at just about any store, pay bills with the click of a button, check bank account information, even do bank transactions online if I so desire. I...

I'm sure there are many of you out there that have 77mm filters that you would like to have the opportunity to use in a matte box when need be. I have a large collection of 77s that sit idle when Matte box is in use. Recently I received Hoya ProNDs as they are supposed to have a rather neutral...
