“As technology advances, the role of the colorist continues to shift from problem-solver to creative partner… That means more time spent grading and less time “fixing”.”

That’s wishful thinking. To me it’s more like less color days, budgets shrinking.

Somewhere after #DaVinciResolve v20.1 the soft buttons user assignments on the Advanced Panels became persistent.

Before you had to assign them every time after launching the app. Now they are remembered even between system restarts.

Sorry but I can’t take your YouTube grading tutorial with your gaming chair and your laptop connected to a regular computer monitor seriously.

Does ProRes Raw recording in the new iPhone 17 Pro and BMD camera app mean ProRes Raw support in #DaVinciResolve?

Why do construction workers do the loudest thing for 30 min first thing when they start working to then go quiet for 3 hrs? Couldn’t they have done that last thing the day before?

People talk shit about Twitter but here, except a couple of accounts, I only follow people from the entertainment industry yet 10% of my feed is about the craft and 90% is fucking politics. I know it’s a difficult time but I already read the news everyday.

@joeydanna.bsky.social I just listed to the podcast episode about HDR and I completely agree some people are too conservative with their HDR grades specially in the last 2-3 years a bunch of releases look completely SDR and it makes me sad.

Huge #DaVinciResolve v20 bug.

With dynamic project switching off, opening another project and going back to the previous one resulted in a completely empty project. No bins, media or timelines. All gone.

Glad I have automatic project backups.

#DaVinciResolve v20 bug:

If you use offset ball as the cursor on the advanced panel with Magic Mask 2, when clicking, it selects the area in Magic Mask but it jumps to the qualifier and also sets the range there.

Of all the things introduced yesterday I think #Spotlight is the one I’m most excited about.

But in all articles I read they keep referencing #Alfred and #Raycast and only one named #Launchbar, which precedes them, it’s still available and it’s the OG of “Quick Keys” new feature in Spotlight.

It’s finally out! One of the latest projects I’ve worked on. Very happy with it.
