    Hi bro, I need help. I have 27" oled 240hz and high end pc with pulling 900w. My question is can I use 900w pc + router + ps5. I will stream on that pc (and some time stream and play games on ps5). So can it run it? Edit: talking about 2200va/1320w model

    interesting I've seen this process done by using layer mixer node with a hard light composite on the bottom node. would there be any reason not to use that and doing it linearly like you've done? Very cool explanation.

    Printer lights are awesome. For even more fine tuning, you can also use your mouse like a slider in the numerical RGB values of the primaries to make the same adjustments to RBG. Printer lights are really nice for cyan/magenta & yellow. Dang, that footage is great BTW and held up either way! Finally, adding blue vs subtracting yellow can yield wildly different results as well! Great video!

    @@BarrettKaufman this may be an obvious question, I’m new to color grading in DR. But is there a way, like with color warper, to pick a color from one clip, and have it auto correct another color on another clip to match? Specifically what I’m trying to do is make a LUT for applying the internal picture profiles of my camera to raw footage from the camera. I have a raw shot from my Sigma FP, with a color checker classic clear in frame, and then with the same settings and framing I have shot a sample of all the internal profiles, so I hope the color info needed is all there, but I am having a hard time trying to dial it all in to match by hand.

    Awesome!! I love it, when you go technical - wouldn’t mind a little more of this… One specific question: As a DP I‘ve been creating my own looks for a while. How would I go about creating Show LUTs for on-set monitoring with different cameras? I‘m mostly using Blackmagic cameras, but sometimes we also have to work with Sony or REDs. Additionally I‘m using a pre-made pulldown-LUT that I would have to combine with the creative show LUT.

  • @BarrettKaufman
    @BarrettKaufman3 күн бұрын

    Yep! For an on set lut you would need to combine the creative choices and a technical transformation to display space Just make sure that you're happy with that transform, because you should probably also use it in the grade for consistency

    so to do both in your project settings do you keep the contrast curve to linear then apply the roll off via curves in high/Low soft? OR do S-Curve option and do the linear adjust with Lift and Gain to control both? The above aspect specifically talking about your Project settings in the cog wheel area

    Like Josh said: what is a good place for finding high quality creative LUTS? Most of the 'high quality' ones I have actually require Arri Log-C or Red log as an input and output straight to rec709. Also Curious about the right workflow in using Davinci wide gamut intermediate

    If you are referring to the official Arri looks, they should also be available without the 709 transformation on Arri's website. There should be a version that stays within arri logc Just be aware that many of them will have exposure shifts

    I'm not understanding the first method why you have such a small amount of softness- it works like any graduation where the larger it is the more gradual it will go from origin to the outside of the oval. So you aren't limited to the shape or size, that power window can over reach - just zoom back - increase the softness, and increase the blur ( way past what you need ) and then resize the shape so you get the graduality that you require. Before we had OFX like tilt-shift etc. this procedure was done all the time. Not that it will look better than what you came up with, but a lot better than the first attempt, without the OFX. In most cases, we would also lower the gain slightly to help the eye trace

  • @BarrettKaufman
    @BarrettKaufman21 күн бұрын

    Totally agree! The limited softness of the first example was to help demo the problem of using a blur and power window (not necessarily to show a solution)

    Oppenheimer was my first time seeing true 70mm IMAX projection. I saw it at Universal Citywalk AMC in LA, the same theater where Nolan does his test screenings. The screen fills your entire vision. When the opening shot of that raindrop hit the screen in 70mm IMAX it was the most stunning and beautiful raindrop I had ever seen. My mind was blown. The format has such clarity, resolution, and color richness. And when the 'Can You Hear the Music' montage played I practically wanted to cry. I'm glad they did a truly photochemical process because the results clearly spoke for themselves. I wish more people made movies like this
