  • 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 :)

anyone teaching grading on redcine?

Matthew thanks again for that video, you have anymore coming soon?

Two years ago, when Resolve on a Mac for a $1k was just announced I predicted, that it will become the Photoshop of color grading. If you're a photographer, you use Photoshop, if you work with video, you need to start using Resolve...

Question - how far can one go with Resolve Lite, as opposed to the full Resolve? For example hypothetically, if you were a professional colorist and were restricted to Resolve Lite only, would you be able to complete 100% of your work? 80%? 60%?

The main limitations are resolution and noise reduction, so if 100% of your work as a professional colorist was to be delivered at 1080p then the Lite version is all you need.
 
I'm pretty sure the newest Lite version will be able to deliver UHD resolution.

Thanks Matthew and Scott.

Hmm... if the latest Lite is able to handle Red's 4K, then I could potentially use Red Giant's Denoiser for noise reduction.

Or you could spend the money on the full version of Resolve 10 and get their new spacial and temporal noise reduction algorithms, which are very good. This is one of many reasons Resolve Lite is free and the real version is $995 -- and the latter is still a bargain.

And Remote grading and 3D and remote databases and a true 4K. Personally, I don't think "professional colorist" and "Resolve Lite" shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

Spacial NR is not new, the temporal NR is...
 
I am not a professional colorist by any means. I come from a still photography background and I am very comfortable colour grading/correcting from raw files.

I was intending to purchase the Red Giant applications anyway and was wondering if I could save some cash by going with Resolve Lite for colour grading and making up the missing pro functions with the applications that would've come as part of Red Giant's suites anyway. Or commit all the way with Colorista which as I understand it is a powerful application in itself.

Sounds like a good option to me, you'll quickly find that Resolve Lite is far more powerful/quicker than Colorsita too, but good to know both :)
 
Yeah I get the impression that Resolve is a more powerful program.

I assumed that Colorista was a more streamlined and faster option though!
 
Resolve is the way to go no other option has such momentum as BMC does. Their approach where they only charge for hardware and gives the softwares away for free has really blown all other out of the water. It's the way to build client base and in the end thats all that counts.
 
With all this talk about Noise Reduction, whats everyone's opinion on Resolve compared to NEAT?
