Stop previews from autoplaying on Apple TV
My Apple TV has started yelling at me. Or at the very least, the Disney+ app on the Apple TV is now clamoring for my attention. It used to be that when I fired up Disney Plus on my Apple TV, I coul…

Today was one of the most boring keynotes ever. Did you realize they didn’t demo anything “live” until Siri AI at 35’ in? I miss the old live keynotes with hands on demos where you could see the feature being used in real scenarios.
Kolor, a FREE color space transform plugin for #FinalCutPro so you can avoid using the built in camera LUTs that can destroy your image on the first step of the color process. Read about it here: https://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2026/06/05/kolor-cst-for-final-cut-pro/
Yesterday Blackmagic released the official DaVinci Resolve 21. It’s out of beta.
Off topic. MRI at my insurer’s facility (yes the one I’m paying every month): over $800. If I go somewhere else out of network and pay cash: $400. WTF!!! Wake up USAniards! This is not how it’s supposed to work.
Quite literally years in the making, BRAW Toolbox v3.0.0 now includes a Blackmagic RAW Media Extension, allowing you to load BRAW natively and directly in Final Cut Pro, QuickTime Player and any other application that supports Media Extensions. 🥳 brawtoolbox.fcp.cafe

Extremely excited to finally be able to share this news! Joining ATOMOS is a significant and exciting moment for Flanders Scientific. FSI was built on the simple premise that professionals responsible for image fidelity deserve tools they can trust. That standard has never changed, and it won

AMD or Nvidia eGPUs can work on Apple Silicon Macs, but not for graphic acceleration
Apple has signed a driver for AMD or Nvidia eGPUs connected to Apple Silicon but there are some big caveats, and it won't improve your graphics. Here's what they're for.

Some Apple products are so beautifully crafted that when they discontinue them it makes me want them more instead of less. https://appleinsider.com/articles/26/03/26/in-with-a-bang-out-in-silence----the-end-of-the-mac-pro?utm_source=rss
In with a bang, out in silence -- the end of the Mac Pro
For almost two decades, the Mac Pro bounced between coveted and beloved, to derided and forgotten. Now, it's finally over.

I wish Apple made displays in 2 flavors: - Display with speakers and webcam - Display only I don’t need over engineered speakers in my monitors and 2 webcams, can I get a discount?
Colorist quick tip when working Resolve: To retain any node cache status (auto/on/off) when copying a grade via middle-click: 1) Right click in the gallery pane 2) tick "Copy Grade: Copy All Node Layers" Glad I finally figured this out! 😅 #colorist #resolve #videopost
The new visual and transcript search in #FinalCutPro is very cool. Here’s a little #tip: Set the browser to group clips by relevance. That way you get a visual break on the results for high and low relevance.

How can a DIT provide a report without including camera brand/model info? Mind boggling.
#DaVinciResolve v20 still has issues making H265 exports on M Macs. I see repeated frames occurring in those exports that are not present on ProRes exports of the same sequences. I’ve been seeing this kind of issues for the last 2 years and different M Macs.
“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.
