Can an internal graphics card on an mac mini produce the same quality as an external graphics card on a mac pro, but with longer rendertimes.
It would just be for training and personal use, so realtime grading would not be a necessity.
So the basic question is: Do i need a mac pro to use the softwares succesfully?
Doubts on color theory
Posted in: Digital Intermediary (DI)I see that art uses RYB color model and displays RGB..
According to RYB color model complementary color of Red would be green..But according to RGB it is Cyan..How does the theory work here..
Or do we just follow RYB everywhere for visual harmony…
What is print LUT?
Posted in: Digital Intermediary (DI)I have one question to ask: what is "print LUT"?
Who creates the LUT for a movie ?
How is LUT different from color correction ?

TrueLight profiles (?)
Posted in: Digital Intermediary (DI)lately i was trying to get into Filmlights Truelight system, but since i am mostly from Compositing dpt., i have no special knowledge of DI. Workin’ on Foundry’s NUKE 6.2 with calibrated monitor (LCD – EIZO CG243W) in controlled enviroment. From time to time i had to work with scanned film DPX seq. but also with digitaly captured source images (RED, HD, …). Nuke has build-in Truelight plugin, but only a few basic profiles provided. So the main question is: "Who is creating truelight profiles, and where can i reach them? Is it Filmlight Ltd. themself or stock makers ? Or do we need DI specialist with Truelight hardware to build custom ones ? I am just wondering what is the right way to use them, and learn some new stuff…
CU-K 😮
This is the situation:
20 second TV spot, captured in HD uncompressed 10bits in Final Cut.
Edited in final cut in the same color space.
Postproduced in After Effects, for some effects (a window chromakey, a "post" digital LCD) and color corrected in After Effects too.
Then, rendered again uncompressed and took it to Final to add sound and mastering for broadcast. And, surprise… The color is not the same I see in After Effects…
So as I was mastering from Final Cut to a tape I decided to slight re-color correct in Final. In the vectorscope the signal was out of range in the white, i assume it was the bigger dinamic range of the uncompressed footage. It automatically set to the right level when I put the timeline in Prores.
Finally, as the spot was for broadcast SD PAL, I change the settings to a PAL timeline… and of course… the color changed again (rec709 to rec601 I assume…)
So, what is the right way to color correct for broadcast with these tools and don´t get mad with all these color changes? Which is the best and safe way to be sure that what you see is what you´ll get?
Thanks!!:)
I have a film that will be finished in two differents houses. In one house there will be the effects and in other the color granding. How do i work with a LUT in this case? I thought that a will need a lut with color granding from color granding post house and apply this Lut in the raw image to do the effect in other house…Someone Can give me a way to this question??
Thank you
which is best for DI?
