Got a rare project where client chose "good" and "fast" from their magic triangle and it was a nice change of pace for me. 600 shots in 3 hours for a documentary graded 💪😊 #colorist

Wow, I feel incredibly honored that our team won the Sports Emmy for “Outstanding Digital Innovation: Sports” for getting World of Red Bull to Apple Immersive 🤩 @theemmys.tv #visionpro #redbull #immersive
And it's live! Still some minor kinks in it but I'm pretty happy with how effortlessly I can inspect and copy now marker ranges from an FCP7 XML without Resolve/Premiere 😊 philstrahl.com/tools/post-t...

Currently in development: Support for timeline markers and a playhead showing the timecode at the mouse position in the timeline.
Cheaters think everyone cheats, and people who cheat at writing by using AI think the same. If you don't like writing, don't be a writer!
I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."
so we rescued a set of cinema film scanners does anyone need a set of cinema film scanners? if you have a need for a cinema film scanner (or can give it a good home!), and can arrange to have it transported from the Seattle area, message me on fedi or e-mail me at hello@alyx.sh
Fellow #colorists, I'm sure you've come across this game in your timeline: Spot where the color changes www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd/ I'm certian you can do better. And, boy, never knew how dirty my phone screen was 😅
You know what would really be useful in #Premiere or #Resolve? Having a warning indicator when a clip you pull onto your timeline will overwrite/replace another that's outside the current view. Here, I made a mock-up. #postchat #postproduction #editing #videoeditor
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
Oh, the joys of working between Christmas and New Year’s and sending out emails 😅 Hope you all had a great* 2025, can't wait for 2026! * not too horrible
Lots of thing happening so I almost missed the North American release of Girl Climber which I graded. The low-light shots benefited from NeatVideo 6 and Topaz helped with reducing some highly compressed archival stuff. www.imdb.com/title/tt3643... #colorist #colorgrading #climbing #documentary

As a video production professional I can say that emoji in files are definitely a thing for at least a year and were the cause of countless grueling shifts trying to figure out, why a render would crash 💀
No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?
What a year! In 2024 I graded almost 30k shots. I hope 2025 will be a little quieter 😅 #colorist #colorgrading #postchat
I should probably post more about #colorgrading since this is my new social home. What hot takes from the color suite would you be interested in? 😊 #postchat
Color grading in a nutshell: Making images look nice and giving them a look that emphasizes the story and mood. #color #colorist #colorgrading

Oh no, I made another design for my #colorist colleagues and other folks in #postproduction. Wearing this on a T-shirt is a conversation starter, believe me! 😅 #posttalk #video #editing
Today’s #Colorist Tip: Try to work modular, especially when you can expect changes. For example, with this node tree I can tweak certain colors completely individually from the look in case the client wants to experiment but their brand colors should remain intact. #colorgrading #color
The turnaround time on this one was wild: To-color delivery of a 60 GB ProRes4444 from Japan; I stared my 4.5 hrs of #colorgrading on an mp4, of which I lost 1 hr trying to online the ProRes; rendering; then 60 gigs to transfer back to Japan for final assembly😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsNy...
