Fantastic video showing the power of colour grading

I recently watched this and found it to be a fantastic example of the effect a grade has on an image and thus the story. Well worth a watch for the aspiring colorists out there like myself.

I'd seen that recently too ... popped up on the personal view forums ... and actually, it illustrates one of the big problems of learning to be a colorist or even working in the field ... there is SO much that you can do! WOW you can change things ... so ... um ... what is the choice for *this* clip, sequence, or project gonna be?
As one starts developing a sense of capability, and learning how to create Looks and LUT's and use and mix and re-purpose them the first thing you get is seriously over-stressed! Well, that and ... one can find one just spent 4 lovely hours playing with all the options for a scene or interview or whatever, but ... everyone else went home three hours ago and it was just a small short project you were expecting to spend ten minutes doing something "acceptable" for and ... ... and ... ... and ... you've only got about 300 things left you want to try! 
SpeedGrade is the single most addictive program I've ever been around ... not that it doesn't at times drive me nuts also, like it is over not finding sufficient video resources right now when it doesn't even USE my video card which it was doing ... but still, I love working the colorist part far more than editing or shooting or anything.
Having fun, I hope?

  • I went to back up my iPhone4 and it said there was an update.  So I clicked  on 'update and backup' (or something close to that.)  It took FOREVER...way longer than usual. When it was done, it showed the power cord w/an arrow to iTunes.  ***??

    I went to back up my iPhone4 and it said there was an update.  So I clicked  on 'update and backup' (or something close to that.)  It took FOREVER...way longer than usual. When it was done, it showed the power cord w/an arrow to iTunes.  ***???  I restarted my computer and tried the whole process again and still...the power cord with an arrow to iTunes.  And I know this means I have to go to Apple and get another phone and will lose anything that wasn't backed up. Anyone else have this happen or have a solution so I don't have to do a restore???

    Reboot your computer.
    Disable your antivirus and firewall.
    Connect the phone to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub. If your computer is not a laptop and has ports on both front and back use a port on the back.
    If iTunes does not recognize the phone when you connect it see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If it STILL doesn't work open a command window and type:
       netsh winsock reset
    Then try again. (It seems that a recent Microsoft Windows update may have corrupted network settings; this restores them to the factory default).
    BTW, was there an error number associated with the failed update?

  • Transparency in gradients - transition gradient slider still shows the transparent tabs colour

    I`m trying to make a one colour radial blend from one colour to transparent,
    so I make the end tab  0% opacity. transparent,
    however the transition gradient slider at top between the colour and the transparent tab still shows the influence of the transparent, this creates a colour bleed from the transparent tab even if I set it to white,  the left colour fades out into white then transparency. (this is not due to the cream left tab, it happens on any colour sample)
    I want the left colour tab to fade out with no influence in the transition period to the "white transparent" tab, but the transition slider does carry some of the gradation from the white tab... is there a way to delete the white tab all together and have a true transition from the cream to nothing?

    I  just thought of the solution, - use the same colour on both colour stops, and make one transparent.

  • Does anyone know a widget that shows the power mangement, sms settings?

    is there a widget that can show me easily the list of things that comes up when you type pmset -g in to the terrminal to see power management, the sms sensitivity, and the rest of what it displays? ive searched but its tough to find one.

    Evidence is simply wrong, and new media have to say something, don't they? There are almost 10,000 posts about battery problems, and a few dozen about WiFi. Which is a real problem? WiFi problems have occurred sporadically for 4 years; there's nothing special about 5.0.1. If you focus on the version you will never solve the problem, and waiting for the next version won't solve it either. If you want it to work you will have to follow some basic troubleshooting. Here's what I'm talking about:
    WIFI not work after upgrade to IOS 5.0
    iPhone Wi-Fi not working after iOS 5 update
    Re: iOS 5.0 WiFi Problem
    Re: No Wifi after 4.0.1
    Re: WiFi reception extremely bad
    Re: OS 4.0 WiFi Problem
    Re: No wifi on 3G 4.0.1
    Re: Upgrade to ios 4.0.1 => still NO WI-FI
    WIFI problem after IOS 4.0.1
    Re: 3.1 WIFI Issues
    Re: Unable to use wifi since update to 4.3.1
    WIFi issues since 3.1
    Re: Wi-fi issues with new 3.1.3 update
    Most WiFi problems fall into 2 buckets:
    Actual WiFi chip failure; more common than you think
    Settings curruption as a result of the upgrade process, having nothing to do with the specific versions involved
    The 2nd can usually be fixed by Reset Network Settings or Reset All Settings. Frequently also by "forgetting" the network, rebooting, then reconnecting.

    Hi Rahki,
    The status of what?
    There are traffic light icons that you can use, or you can set  the cell design (which changes the background colour of a cell (if you are in a table).
    I often use this to indicate on a review step whether a cell/row has been inserted, modified or deleted from a table.

  • My wife new macbook pro 5 months old does not start, it shows the power blinking , but no boot

    hi,
    my wife just bought a new macbook pro few months ago, and it sat on her desk , safe and without being moved around.
    yesterday night the fans were blowing air like jet engines , but this morning it would not start again.
    do you think we still can have it fixed my apple?it did not fall down or something, it sat on her desk.

    Since this is a new machine and under warranty, simply go to Apple and let them handle it.

  • Wow, this really shows the power of the graphics...

    I'm not sure if any of you have downloaded the Serene scene marine aquarium but all I can say is wow. It looks unbelievable on the 27's. 30 fish running on a shimmering ocean floor at 60+ fps.. Total eye candy. Check it out. My imac G5 can't run this at over 15fps.

    Nice, I'll have to look into this. I have a 27" too, and man, does it ever SCREAM!
    Does anybody know if there's a screen saver out there, that's like a fly-through of the galaxy? I'm thinking something along the lines of the Time Machine GUI in terms of "warp-speed stars", but more a fly-though of the galaxy - zooming around inside and above the galactic disc. I've seen the new Star Trek a few too many times! XD
    Now if only I could figure out how to program that in QUartz Composer...

  • Showing the time the video was recorded on screen

    Hi,
    I'm making a follow-up video to a recent fire department training we had and would like to have the finished video show the times that the clips were recorded on screen.
    Is this possible with imovie? If so, how?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Well, you could always use subtitles to show them. Click the "T" on that bar in the center on the right.

  • Today, youtube has stopped working at points throughout the day. When youtube stops working, all videos show a large arrow button in the center.

    When youtube stops working, videos display a large play button in the center that is normally not there. When I attempt to play the video (by pressing either the middle button or normal one), videos show the "an error occurred, please try again later" screen. Clearing the cache fixed it once, but videos went back to not working in the way described above after some time.

    Try to clear the YouTube cookies and maybe the cache as well when this happens.

  • HT4061 I updated my phone this morning and now it is stuck with an iTunes logo and arrow pointing to it and a pic of the power cord - the phone was plugged in when I started the update...now I can't access my phone at all

    My phone is plugged in and the screen shows the power cord connector and arrow and the iTunes logo.  I have made sure the plug is in and power on. Touching the screen does nothing. I have turned it off and back on I get an apple pic then back to the iTunes logo pic, arrow and plug....

    I installed new update and have had the connect to iTunes all day.  I got home connected to iTunes and it said my phone couldn't be updated it needed restored to factory settings.  I was reluctant to lose everything so I ignored this and clicked update.  After it installed it said to restore again.  Again I ignored it and this time it updated my phone and my phone turned back on with everything there.
    So glad I ignored the previous messages asking me to restore! You could try this if you have iTunes and don't want it restored to factory settings.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen won't play videos in the camera roll?

    I am trying to play videos I have in my iPod Touch's camera roll and it won't play them. What happens is that is shows its a video, shows the time in the video, when you click the play for the video it is paused, you can drag the slider through the timeline and it will go to that point in the video, but it won't play it will just be paused. I can hit the play button on the bottom all day and it won't play. I tried this on numerous videos and the same story. Now, I took these videos on my iPod Touch 4th gen over the past few years, and obviously put them on my 5th gen using the backup feature. These videos are of my daughter as a baby and I really don't want to loose these. Any idea on how to get them to play?

    - Do they play on the computer?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My Mac Mini won't start. The Power light blinks continusly (not pulses)

    My New Mac Mini won't start up. I bought it online from J&R a week ago. My monitor says "no input detected" and the power light blinks. I recently fed it the gray mac os x install disk one, which it won't give back. Holding the mouse button when it turns on doesn't have any effect. So now i can't put a disk in or start it up.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    No video with the power light blinking once per second means either bad or no memory. See this Apple note: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303083 . Specifically, below is from that note:
    If the computer detects no SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, also referred to as RAM) or the RAM installed does not meet the appropriate specifications, the screen will remain black but the power LED on the front of the computer will blink once per second to signal the error. This error condition may be due to physically damaged RAM, installing the incorrect type of RAM, or not having RAM installed.
    Has it ever worked since you got it? If not, you should call J&R and tell them they sent a dead on arrival system, and ask for a replacement (ask them to send a will call tag or prepaid label to send the non-working machine back).

  • HT1414 upon updating to ios 7.0.2 all my gopro black hd videos will not play they show as gray in colour. Are these files still there and can they be restored they ran perfectly until the update

    upon updating my ipad to ios7.0.2 all of the go pro black videos show as gray and when you click on them they come up first frame but will not play. can they be restored or are they lost. they played perfectly in both i movie and camera role before upgrade.

    I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
    The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

    Hey terremo,
    Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:
