#davinciresolve

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

It's been a while since I've graded anything with #Adobe's Lumetri. But the editor on my current project wants to be able to make versions after the grade, and they don't do #DaVinciResolve so, here I am in Premiere. The experience is very similar to how it feels to be given an image and told to edit it with Windows paint. I can't believe I used this junk for so long.

@eugenialoli same with photo #raw processing, non of the #foss apps use the color profiles of the cameras, no 16bit raw and many other issues. I gave up retouch due to the still bad gimp ux and the bad implementation of non destructive editing.

The sad reality is the #linuxdesktop is not ready for professional #mediaproduction and this is such a bad thing in times like this.

#davinciresolve also barely runs on everything except nvidia on #linux and still has no #flatpak

Even blender is a pain with amd #rocm

Bonjour Fedi friends!

I haven't been posting about #selfhosting lately because my entire life has been taken over by filmmaking – creating a promo video for the #Fediverse with the amazing @samaaberg and @TheLifeofTarzan

I miss Terminal, Linux commands and installing / updating things... but I am on a new learning journey. After nearly a decade of editing in Adobe Premiere, I am now moving to #DaVinciResolve. At this point Adobe's prices are extortionate... I will have to do motion graphics in AfterEffects but I won't be paying for multiple Creative Cloud apps.

The learning curve for DaVinci Resolve is a little steeper than expected but I'm having a lot of fun.

And yes, yes, I know, at some point I will try the #FOSS video editing software https://kdenlive.org. On my to do list for the summer!

I hope you're having a lovely day 🌞

KdenliveKdenlive - Free and Open Source Video EditorKdenlive is the acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on Linux, Windows, macOS, and BSD.

Blackmagic Design just released a fantastic new camera, plus a bunch of other new products, and an update to DaVinci Resolve 20 (free update because it's a lifetime licence, not a subscription rip-off).

Customers started placing orders, and units would have started shipping immediately after the announcement at NAB 2025 just two days ago.

Now, Trump's terrible tariffs are biting. Blackmagic Design has been forced to increase prices for all hardware sold in the USA by 32%. :blobcatfacepalm2:

Edit to update:

Blackmagic Design has wasted no time, and announced that they've implemented a workaround:
"We have moved production of the PYXIS cameras to reduce the impact of the tariffs." — Kris Lam, Product Manager, Cameras Department, Blackmagic Design

A tiny number of countries have not been hit by Trump's new sanctions: Belarus, Burkina Faso, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, North Korea, Palau, Russia, Seychelles, Somalia, and Vatican City.

My educated guess is that the country where Blackmagic Design expanded its pre-existing manufacturing base is Mexico.

Are Trump's sanctions strongarming companies into moving jobs to the USA to Make America Great Again?
No. They're merely causing a scheduling wrinkle of less than one week while companies pivot to manufacturing in Mexico.

@darktable i didn't read the text completely first. The image looks like a screenshot of Lr. I liked it.

I thought, this is one step to make the program more usable for me and others. I prefer #FreeSoftware, but i was not satisfied with the results i got with #darktable. Somehow #Lightroom produced better results and is easier to use.

I now have to use Windows to use DxO #PhotoLab and #DavinciResolve, so i rarely do.

I love the DxO noise reduction! I can shoot wildlife with high ISO.

So, I make bits of software, mostly plug-ins for platforms like #DaVinciResolve or #Blender, mostly because I have a particular thing that needs doing that no-one has catered to. And I yoik them up to Codeberg and if I'm feeling organised I'll write them up on my blog, so that anyone else that has the same particular need can benefit too. I have no intention of selling them, because marketing stuff is not something I remotely enjoy doing, testing and bug fixing is too time consuming, and because I consider it payment for all the free software I get to use.
Generally I release everything under the #GPL3, because it's the one I know about. I'm not really a #coder, and I'm far less a #lawyer, so I have no idea if this is the best option.
So the question I want to #AskFedi is: what do you do with small #code projects you write? What license do you release them under and why, and how do you go about distributing them?
I've only ever had one or two people fork my code or make PRs, I don't think a lot of people in my industry also code, so everything I do is a solo project. So I'd be interested in how people find collaborators for stuff they do.
