I've been noticing some strange lack of sharpness on my Sigma 35mm so I checked it out with the backfocus on my Dragon. I set it to infinity and calibrated, but it just wouldn't get into focus. I closed the shutter in order to is if it were because it was wide open, but it still performed a bit...

So I'm trying to paint an object in AE that has some complex tracking and changing properties. Now, I've tried every single way to track and get the clone stamp to stick and I've animated the properties, trying to blend it during the course of the footage. - The conclusion I have is that the...

Is it possible to use the iPhones accelerometer and gyro to collect data for camera tracking in post? How accurate is it? If we put an Iphone on an Epic and had some way of recording camera tracking data on it, then pull that data into let's say After Effects, wouldn't that work for stabilizing...

Now that Windows 10 is out it would be good to list what NLE's, post production software and plug-ins that work with it. If someone tried or knows if something is compatible, please enter it here. Would be good if we could sum up such a list. UPDATES - Premiere Pro CC 2015 with update 9.0.1...

I've been waiting for the skylake update in order to use DDR4 memory and USB-C. Now I've heard news that it won't be out until 2016, but some others point out that it's going to be released like next week. I'm wondering what type to get in order to get the best performance when working with...

I've been grading a music video and I used the scopes with it's setting to mark out video levels. So I graded the video based on the grey lines in the picture below. Now when I render out with video levels it's totally washed out, but when rendering with data levels it appears normal on any...

Has anyone tried it? I've got a Zoom H6 together with a sound devices MixPre-D at the moment and neither has timecode. So I'm trying to figure out how to make the ZoomH6 work with timecode and stumbled upon this gadget. Can anyone tell me if it's a good option and if it's avalible and at what...

I bought a Manfrotto 509HD head and found out that the tilt function has these "metal scratch sounds" when you release the friction and tilt with it. I brought it back for a warranty check and got a new head a month later but this time it has the same sounds on both the tilt and pan. I wanna...

Came across this which shows quite nicely how the quality of a lens in an actual film is pretty hard to spot.

I'm trying to look into the fastest full frame capable wide angle lenses there are out there. Sigma got the 20mm 1.4 and the 18-35mm 18 for APS-C but are there any lenses capable of covering full frame at around 16mm with a F1.4 aperture? The reason is to get these super wide images that still...

I'm wondering why the front fan of the 2.0 upgraded fans have such a distinct motor noise? The top fan is very silent, but even when I use adaptive quiet record as my fan setting the there's still this "humming" sound that the motor of the front fan give off. Without that "hum" it would be...

I read on their twitter that a new feature is "exporting comments". I'm in desperate need of doing this, but can't figure out how to do it. Anyone who knows how?

I bought a Zoom H6 because it has a better signal to noise ratio than the H4n. But I still feel that it isn't enough to get clean sounds. I have a Neumann KM185 which is a really good mic and I also have the Sound Devices MixPre-D, which together with the H6 gives a really clean sound. The...

I'm preliminary about to go away on a job within EU (Swe-France) and I'm a little curious about how to manage the transport of my gear. Anyone with more experience of traveling with a Red who could share some tips? For starters, I have three Red Bricks 153w. If I pack them in my pelican...

I've been holding on upgrading to CC for a long time because I don't need the full master collection and I don't need cloud services. What I do need is up to date versions of Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop and Audition. Adobe has stopped supporting CS6 so there are no updates to support...

So I bought the Titan X 12gb to boost my performance when working with Draogn, but I don't really see any improvements over my GTX 580 3GB card I had earlier. What's going on? At 1/8th resolution it isn't real time. My RAID streams around 150-170 mbit/s so I surely should get a little better...

First off, this is not a thread for complaining about noise, there's been enough of those. I did a music video recently on my MX with green screen and the compositing artist complained about there being a lot of noise making it hard to key it cleanly. I though this was odd because I shot it at...

I'm trying to export a ProRes from a 6K Dragon file with D.E.B and A.D.D on. It's not a long clip, just around 1 minute. But the export time just keeps increasing and after a while it's at 20 hours and counting with the export percentage at 0%. Tried on my Desktop PC and then on my Macbook Pro...

There are rumors about Sigma making Cine-lenses out of their ART-series. If this is true, how do you think these will make it on the cine-market? The ART series is among the best still lenses around, so compared to the lesser optical quality of Rokinon they might create a tough match against...

Just a heads up on something freakin awesome! :001_cool:
