Edit Suite Design 2011
Edit Suite Design 2011: "It’s time to revisit an old subject for a new year – configuring a post production suite. Poke through these past articles and you’ll get plenty of ideas about how to build the room and what to put in it. Another great source for inspiration is just to scan through the “Rig of the Day” [...]

Editing HDSLR footage natively
Editing HDSLR footage natively: "With the wild success of HDSLR cameras from both Canon and Nikon, there is a renewed interest in editing H.264 media natively, using the video files that are transferred directly from the camera into your editing system. H.264 is the video format that these cameras use for capturing their images. Editing natively saves time because you don’t need to transcode your video. And H.264 files are very small, compared to other video file formats.

ICC profile cube from 3D LUT: Alexa EI350
ICC profile cube from 3D LUT: Alexa EI350: "
Steve Shaw at www.lightillusion.com has shown us a way of baking into stand alone QuickTime movies (this includes Alexa captured 4444 ProRes) a 3D LUT that is converted into an ICC Profile.

Steve Shaw at www.lightillusion.com has shown us a way of baking into stand alone QuickTime movies (this includes Alexa captured 4444 ProRes) a 3D LUT that is converted into an ICC Profile.
By doing this we can use Colorsync within Mac OS to apply the converted 3D LUT and burn it into the .mov file.
To do this you do require Intel Mac and QT Pro7 and also the software, called Spaceman, which will do the 3D LUT conversion for you. Once you have converted the LUT into the ICC profile you then load this profile through QT Pro7 and Colorsync and there you will have the burnt in correction for your offline and dailies.
Attached here is an ICC profile for an Alexa EI350 LUT, this 3D LUT has ben converted to an ICC profile and here is the information as a 3D cube.

fseventer [fernLightning]
From the author:
Description
- Observes filesystem changes using the same underlying API as Spotlight
- Provides a graphical representation of the file activity
- Example use could be to determine what files are changed via software installation, preferences, etc
- Requires admin access & will only work on Mac OS X 10.4+ i.e. “Tiger”, “Leopard”, or “Snow Leopard”
It's a neat troubleshooting/analysis tool for the Mac. I imagine it can be used in many ways to find out what's messed in your system, when and how it happened.
Thanks dev

Alexa Log C - Workflow Options:
This post is intended to be a work in progress so I'll be adding more information over time as workflows evolve. I'm intentionally leaving some of this open ended because I'd like anyone reading this who can speak to the topic to help me flesh this out. If you have something to add, please shoot me an email.

What (Inexpensive) Display Should I Buy?
I also get that question a lot, and I also tend to recommend the HP DreamColor. But (there's usually a but), it's not for everyone.
The DreamColor is one of the only (if not the only) monitors that do 10 bit all the way. This means that it can actually display 1,073,741,824 different colors. That's enough for rec709 and rec601, it's even 98 percent enough for XYZ. But there are other issues. The DreamColor's color engine only kicks in under certain conditions. The signal it inputs must be 10 bit, RGB and progressive. That pretty much means that if you're working on an SD project which is interlaced and in rec601 colorspace, the HP is not for you. Infact, unless you're working in 10bit/RGB/P, this monitor is just a very good looking monitor, and that's it. It cannot replace an actual video monitor!
That said, it's still reproduces beautiful imagery for an affordable price.

Lightworks chosen to edit the kings speech
lightworks chosen to edit the kings speech
----------
And why this is important? Well, I hold the belief that these open source tools are responsible for the democratization of the trade. Lightworks might not be the most advanced NLE out there, and surly not the most popular, but these type of tools are breathing down the neck of much bigger, richer companies. The fact that such a big Oscar winning movie was edited using open source tools is an example for many newcomers in the industry that you don't necessarily have to go with one of the "big A's" (Avid, Apple, Adobe, Autodesk), to be considered a pro.

Congratulation to Avid on another move in the right direction.
Ever since last NAB there have been rumors about an Avid/AJA collaboration. Good to see that AJA's been officially implemented in the Avid workflow. Does that mean 2K/4K RGB in the near future?
