  • 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 :)

Lustre on Mac

Red and BMD are companies made by very clever guys who prooved that they know how to make money. I would be carefull with conclusions about their pricing strategy.

To my recollection, Blackmagic has never released a software only product prior to Resolve, and that would include Ultrascope, which requires their hardware. Nor do they have products that are as specific in purpose, and not necessarily used in all facilities, as the DaVinci line. I know Grant and I know he's a smart guy, but my point was that it's not necessarily imperative to play their game to their level in order to compete with them. Thats been proven by AJA, it's currently being proven in higher end facilities by companies like Filmlight, and my opinion is that it could be proven again by Autodesk. But as I said, that's just my opinion.
 
doe anyone have any news on this ?
NAB is close ...so if is going to happen maybe some heard something...

thanks

I also would love to see Lustre packaged with Smoke on a Mac, just like in the Flame Premium package. This would be win/win for everyone, as this would eliminate the biggest weakness in Smoke- CC and CW. Add to that Euphonics support and you've got a world class package at an attractive price ($20K or so, hopefully). And while we're at it, full Prores and DnxHD support needs to be included as well.
Keeping my fingers crossed for NAB...

Autodesk's announcements are out. Flame Premium consists of Flame, Smoke Advanced and Lustre. All are Linux based. Flame and Lustre can be purchased alone, Smoke Advanced only in the Flame Premium package.

Flame has now an upgraded Action module that incorporates a new extensive lighting effects tool set. Also a new Flame FX module is included that basically consists of plugins that before had to be purchased separately as Sparks from third party manufacturers. All these new goodies are also included in Smoke (on Mac).

Smoke on Mac is now Smoke. No Lustre on OSX. Makes sense, there is no Nvidida SDI on the Mac. You need that for Lustre.

well... Are you sure that they are not reserving a surprise for the NAB ?...
I mean i have no idea but wouldn't be possible?

We know that autodesk was working on Lustre on a MAC even over 12 months ago ...the success of Davinci i think should have pushed them on this ...


Also : Missing SDI ? well that is not a big deal Because Davinci /Smoke ?color they all use the SDI out for the Aja/decklink cards....

It looks like that is the deal for this year, unfortunately. Autodesk continues along the path of upgrading interoperability between myriad software packages acquired over the years. It's not necessarily bad thing, but while Autodesk does this, everyone else continues to innovate not burdened by legacy issues.
Keeping cloud tracking only on Flame, while Smoke still has to import the data from Mocha is lame.
And most disappointing- still no full support for Prores and MFX wrapped DnxHD on Smoke on a Mac. I find this really strange.
