I've been testing Eric Lenz's new plugin for Final Cut, Bloom/Mist which in theory could take the place of using standard mist filters. If this works well, it makes perfect sense!

    Pretty nice to test these both. I'm totally fine with 1st step throw everything through Topaz and edit next day. But,, ah 9:40, yeah it changes color. Sometimes pretty much. I think I'll start using Neat Video again more. Neat Video as a plugin in Adobe does make my software crash now and then. With Topaz less so. But sometimes Topaz leaves temporary files which in Windows can be difficult to delete. I believe they are fixing this issue. Topaz community is nice and active.

    This topic drives me crazy. :D I use an A7R III and there is a very strange behaviour. If I shoot RAW images, I can use WB temperatures only, colours are accurate. As soon as I capture either JPG or MP4 (so having the camera interpret the image on its own), the camera starts to shift the tint towards magenta. Coming to Sony, I always heard people complain about green tint but somehow my former A7 II managed this a lot better then 3rd generation bodies (both the regular 7 and 7R series Mk III).

    this technique is exactly what i do with my talking head podcasts! the only difference is that instead of copy and pasting, i do an infinite loop: minute 1 forwards, minute 2 backwards, minute 3 forwards, minute 4 backwards, etc... so each odd-numbered minute is the 1min clip at +100% speed, and each even-numbered minute is the 1min clip at -100% speed, thereby creating the illusion that it is not copy and pasted footage, but a section that is repeating continuously!

    Just switched from my long time and trusted hd650’s and tested the NDH 30 along with the 490 pro. Both sets are good step up from my hd650 imo, but I gave the edge to 490 with slightly better sound stage and bass extension. It came with DearVR mix too and have to agree that the rooms are excellent. More convincing than the SoundID. I found the eq correction quite similar for the 490 in both softwares. Haven’t tried the 650 with DearVr but will have a listen to see if it is brighter as you say. So glad I didn’t bother with VSX though. Great video 👍

  • @pelennorDSP
    @pelennorDSP 10 днів тому

    I've adopted a two plugin solution for this, and IMO it works really well. For the headphone calibration, there is the highly underrated ToneBoosters Morphit - for 29EUR it has a huge range of headphone models, you can choose what target curve to correct to, and you can simulate other headphone models. And you can demo it for basically as long as you need with full functionality. I highly recommend checking this out. I then follow that with dearVR Monitor. I've also tried Hornet VHS, and it's not as good as either of those two at either calibration or room emulation.

Agree that the exposure meter does not appear very helpful and that is why I wanted to learn how to use zebras. With the zebras turned on, it will be so much easier to adjust the exposure with a variable ND and just adjust to eliminate all but the specular highlights. The information regarding the correct zebra setting for the S-Cinetone profile was incredibly helpful. Thanks again.

    Are these standard LUTs that can be used in Premiere Pro or other tools? For the sake of completeness, could you explain the difference, and pro/con, of using these LUTs to visually adjust versus using canonical scopes and other tools that are analytical and not based on needing a calibrated monitor? Is this an artistic tool (aka "color grading") versus the analytical tools (aka "color correction") or a bit of both?
