    Need camera advice

    My fault. I should have said I made live comps using their backgrounds! On that particular gig they didn't have backgrounds ready for all of the shots, so I'd ask the director what he had in mind and then AI generate versions of that while they were lighting each setup. It was a fun race...

    Can you please clarify this question for me? Just not sure I understand what you are asking.

    Audio software to remove wind noise from a video clip

    OK. I assumed the problem solving you were describing was the getting it successfully uploaded. As you described that similarly in the previous thread to that. Glad it worked out regardless.

    Audio software to remove wind noise from a video clip

    He's talking about Audo Studio, not Resolve. It's a browser-based system. FoxAdriano, how did it do with the wind noise?

    Audio software to remove wind noise from a video clip

    Just tested the demo version on the site with a UHD .h265 file in Safari, and it processed right away so I'm not sure what's happening there for you. When you drop the file on the "upload an audio or video file", what happens?

    Audio software to remove wind noise from a video clip

    It's not downloadable. May be a browser issue--I use Chrome with it as I determined a while back that Safari doesn't play nice with it, possibly that's the issue? Also I just use WAV files with it, I find it keeping file sizes smaller helps in all directions vs uploading a video file. Try these...

    SHORT: A Short I Made for Skywalker Sound

    Great story Paul! It's amazing you got to be around for such a cool piece of history. I fully remember that clip of Burtt twanging the steel cable that was in the TV documentary about the making of Star Wars, I thought it was so cool. Honestly I think that was the first legitimate behind the...

    Resolve hiccuping on playback

    Hey all: I'm editing on the most current version of Resolve (I'd have to check but I think 19.3) and even since last update I've been having an issue where the picture goes out of playback sync with audio. I fix it by pausing playback and re-starting, but it's pretty annoying. I'm using an...

    SHORT: "On the Boulevard" production diary

    Two days out. The program is assembled and QC'd and ready to go! On Thursday we did a dry run of the tech setup for the festival, one of the other Messhall employees coincidentally had a screening of his short films so we used the same setup. The "bulletproof" setup I describe above (playing...

    All very cool! What was the prank you played on Ben Burtt?

    Audio software to remove wind noise from a video clip

    Head over to Audo Studio at audo.ai. You can process 20 minutes per month for free, and in my estimation it is superior to Davinci Resolve's voice isolation tool (I have been regularly testing the two against each other to see if Resolve has caught up, and Audo always remains a step ahead in...

    Need camera advice

    In regards to shooting on green/blue screens, some notes from my experiences. Because some cameras force a tradeoff of resolution against codec, I've talked to compositors about which is more important to their workflow. The majority have said they'd take the resolution first. So I've delivered...

    Always wanted a spotlight...

    On the contrary, it was securely fastened with metal straps, underneath it is heat-resistant material to protect the plate and there is a sandbag hanging off the backside of the head so it is properly counterbalanced (the Leko is pushed that far forward so the leaves of the shutter were...

    Always wanted a spotlight...

    Source 4 = Leko in my parlance...leko is the style of light, Source 4 was ETC's model name for them. Unless I'm wrong. Have always used the names interchangeably myself.

    OTHER: I shot this on a supercharged 19 year old Sony HDW-F900R in 2024

    Is this a diff version of the 900 than you shot the other one on? How did you manage to get your hands on Panavision gear aftermarket?

    Most of them these days are on SmallHD 13" high bright, never seen them in a tent (maybe a sunshade). Then again, that's focus pullers, might be different for forucs pullers?

    Need camera advice

    I'm trying to read between the lines here--is this your first film? Do you have a specific reason for wanting to buy the camera, is it an economic choice or are you interested in learning about cameras? If so. what aspect of using cameras are you interested in specifically, is it how to manage...

    SHORT: "On the Boulevard" production diary

    I went 24p on this project. It's one of my first to do so, but I've come to realize there is just no legit reason to shoot 23.98 for this kind of thing, from all I've heard. I will outsource my DCP's, in the past I've used an LA based company that costs me around $125. Without the easy ability...

    SHORT: "On the Boulevard" production diary

    One week to the first screening of this film at the Messhall Film Festival! Cast and crew screening Tuesday the 12, then red carpet premiere on the 13th. Is it finished? Well... I was on track to finish everything up before the weekend, with a little more refinement to the grade on my end, plus...

    Always wanted a spotlight...

    Hence my mentioning that lensed spotlight attachments are available from brands like Aputure, but mitigated by the OP's request for "reasonably priced/not break the bank". You can get a used Source 4 for probably between 1/4 and 1/8 the price of a modern LED unit attachment. Portability--well...
