I don't do tiktok - never appealed to me, but I got my distrokids statement for the music I have out there on itunes, spotify, Youtube and being honest, I never pay too much attention because Distrokids will show you the painful detail of how much the streams generate, but I noticed one track...

Here's a few images from Church style things we do (or more accurately did!) That Panasonic mic is a OEM product, and the same one is on quite a few Sony's too - I have one here that's the same. They're a pleasant condenser, and don't sound too bad, but they're really a strange pattern -...

How will the perspective work with a green screen table? If you have a background green screen and a green table - you are planning on two different keys with masks, or just one background image that includes a table? - This won't work Multicam. My vote is real table - that's how we do it in...

What are you keying with? Some keys are better than others - this is the best I can do with the ultra keyed in Premiere. In my studio we do green and blue screen and we have white and black backgrounds too. Green is the most useful, but you MUST separate the talent from the background and...

What an idiot. Assuming we're talking about cinema as art, it's eye of beholder stuff. In non art video it's a quite bold colour, it needs consideration and rejection/acceptance as appropriate. Sometimes these people just say crazy things.

Charles - I'd bet most people would see that as a visual effect. I watched it on YouTube direct and I don't think it's actually something I'd pull out as rolling shutter - it's sort of artistically appropriate.

The warehouse, some black drapes, lights and a hazer and the other one - same place changes to lights only.

I'm in the UK, but I've a project being discussed where because of Covid, we are going to make some children's theatre shows and charge people to watch them. So ideally a Youtube-esque service where they can perhaps watch a free trailer but then stream the programme after paying (Paypal/credit...

The recent increase in jobs with lots of video tracks has really pushed my edit computer to the limit, and pressing play produces stutter playback unless I spend ages rendering everything. I have always had a policy of buying a new computer every couple of years and the newest and fastest...

Do one, and more roll in - here's another of the choir videos. If it hadn't been lockdown time, there is no way these things could ever be charged out at the real rate - the amount of time it takes is out of all proportion - when, as in this case, there are 38 singer's videos that need to be...

I've got to suggest a few differences from Imacuser - I light my green screens with either tungsten, as he mentions, but I actually get better results from washing the screen with green LED, because as LED contains only that one colour spike, it actually keys better. However - all keys are not...

I always found auto white balance produced bizarre results on the sodium spike - it sort of assumes the level at the spike is the general 'colour' and the adjustment can be quite unexpected. Lee Filters produces a sodium colour for gelling tungsten lights...

Do you want to match existing footage shot in real sodium lighting, or do you want to simulate it? Real sodium light is the virtual absence of anything other than the sodium spike, so recreating that with LED is impossible because led colour mixing is done with different spikes in colour...

This is silly! Have you ever driven past a worksite at night lit by this kind of lighting - plenty of examples of railway bridge replacements using them - it's illumination, not lighting for cameras - simply because it's cluster lighting. A mast with up to four light sources. We don't light...

This doesn't really fit any category but I'll have a go. I have a BM ATEM Mini, and it's great. If I connect the output to my MacBook, I can do live streaming to Facebook, and other services with minimal latency - certainly not enough to trouble me - but last night I tried zoom - and the in...

Well - I have two Pentax DSLR, used Pentax for years - and one has very nice colour rendition from stage lighting and the other sucks! I cannot make one look like the other no matter how I tweak on Photoshop. I can get close on most colours, but the pinks and magentas are badly mangled and I...

College and university kids are just big kids, and the snooty attitude is usually (certainly in the uK) provided by the teaching staff who determine 'quality'. If you want to show lighting off, then the examples here are great - but also consider the movies with amazing problems to solve. My...

Going back to the original post - I prefer that to the now heavily processed version. Surely we are really talking about a very average recording with poor signal to noise. We can try to repair poor recordings and they're always a compromise. Getting it right in the first place is the key.

I meant turned up the treble in the studio.

Unless I'm being thick - in the good old days, we'd have fixed this simply by turning up the treble - not faffing around with parametric or graphics - it's a bit dull, so turn the treble up - that would be fine for me!
