I am not starting a political discussion, but how this campaign came to be is relevant to the story.
The candidate, Lee Turner, won the first round democratic primary race but lost the runoff to another candidate. The official candidate backed out of the race for personal reasons in July.

Next to Avid, Lightworks is the oldest professional NLE in existence. Where Avid was designed for broadcast video editing, Lightworks was originally designed for digital intermediate editing of feature films. It still includes features for editing and conforming film negatives today like using...
Might want to take a look at Lightworks. Since it has spun off from Editshare it is under rapid development and has a range of license options from free (limited to 720p H.264 export but imports most anything) to monthly, annual, and perpetual license purchase options. It has a very active user...
This has been a short 8 week campaign against a toxic unpopular incumbent with no opposition on the ballot. We have definitely gotten some positive voter attention in the district. Tomorrow we find out how much.
Whirlwind grinder of a campaign with quick turn social media ads shot on an iPhone...
I have been struggling with trying to implement JackAudio patch setups between the Realtek 7.1 audio system in my laptop and several programs: VMix streaming software, Harrison Mixbus DAW, and Lightworks NLE. My MSI laptop has a discrete audio board with a high end 8 channel ESS Sabre 32 DAC...
Focusrite small interfaces are nice and pretty inexpensive. Had one at work for an instrumentation front end to an FFT software package.
I like my old MOTU Ultralite Mk3 better for post work because it has a master SMPTE timecode generator, but it was firewire only and went into storage when...
X-touch is just a control surface. It has no analog I/O capability. Pairing it with a Behringer XR 18 gives 18x8 channels of analog I/O in a rack mount or portable stage box configuration with 18x18 digital USB I/O. Modest price for a lot of capability and decent quality. Same quality Midas...
Remarkable set of features. For Leica it is actually reasonably priced. Can shoot 24fps 4k DNG raw. IBIS with multi-frame 96 megapixel still mode and tethering for Lightroom and Capture 2 pro. From the sample video there are brief shots that hint it may be a global shutter sensor, or at least...
Impressive demo Doug. Beautiful footage. A wide range, fast, parfocal zoom that has the MTF to resolve 4k on such a small sensor is a major achievement in lens design.
The other thing one can see from Doug's footage is that 2/3" is capable of significant creative DOF control when desired.

Resolve includes native REC709 HLG color space conversions, one of the features of the HLG standard. HLG TV sets automatically adapt a proper HLG color space input to match the specs of their panels. HLG is one of three HDR standards and the only one backwards compatible with REC709. Most HDR...
Yes, with V14 Lightworks added a more conventional fixed layout option that is easier for newbies. This is the default layout when you install the program. It has a guided sequence of pages for project workflow similar to Resolve: Log, Edit, VFX, and Audio.
Me too. I still use it for raw processing, color grading, and creating DI masters for editing (Cineform for me). With the Bolex everything is double system sound anyway, so I don't even bother with audio. I'm working on a short introduction to the Lightworks classic interface for novices. It...
If you are using something other than Zoom or Skype as your streaming app, then you have to manually set up the links between the mini as camera input, the software, and YouTube the first time. It isn't plug and play. OBS is fine for this. It's been awhile since I've done this, but IIRC you...
Fun volunteer project I just completed for Scrutineers, an election integrity organization.
My first real foray into serious FX compositing in Lightworks. Quite a learning curve especially on layering and timing multiple DVE's and building layers of composited keys, cropped animation elements...
Yes, if you set your camera to output V-log and record that in OBS. REC709 color space in OBS is a more than adequate container to capture HDR if you record log footage. Your file color space would be V-log.
Then you would need to do a YRGB32 color managed conversion from V-log to HLG in...
