    Hey all, More questions about some small technical issues before finalizing my project. 1. Noticed when viewing on a flatscreen TV yesterday that whenever I cut to black in the short, or even when my titling fades to another name, the TV was dropping the black levels to COMPLETE BLACK. It...

    Best codec for finishing

    Hey all, Quick question and would love everyone's opinion on this. I typically have worked with FCP 7 a lot in the past, where it was ProRes pretty much all the way. But with the explosion of Premiere and all the new cameras (digital) I'm not so sure I'm viewing all possible options? And...

    2.39 and 2:4:1

    Hey all, I feel like I'm blasting this forum with too many posts. So I'll try to make this quick. I've been looking in DCP requirements, etc. As Jax has pointed out in a previous discussion we had on this, 2.39 is the norm. All my r3d files from a shoot say they're 2:4:1. I'm mastering...

    VFX work and Color Grading

    Hello all, I recently wrote and directed a short (on RED Epic). I'm now in the post stage. I'm an editor so I did that myself, but when it comes to VFX and color grading my experience is limited and I don't want to do it myself, wasting hours of learning programs when I'd much rather prefer a...
