    OK, I have been Testing Kyno now for a couple of weeks. Here are a few things are bothering me. As I add my Meta data, it does not actually write it to the file itself. If I send someone a file or want to upload to stock sites, all my hard work of tagging, titling and describing are lost. I know I can export the metadata, but I would prefer it write to the file itself. The other thing is it seems to be a big drag on my system. I have a beefy Mac Studio, but I have seen a real slowdown of DaVinci since I installed Kyno. Kyno itself is quite slow to open the main hard drive that I am archiving to. Many of the previews appear squished in the video player. You mention that you tried Bridge for media management but you found it very limiting. In what ways? I find I can batch tag, get instant previews and blazing fast searches that display perfect video previews of the same files that are squished in Kyno. I have reached out to Kyno support with no answers yet. What features do you find missing in Bridge? Thanks

    As a client I would always want the raw footage, especially for such important moments like a wedding. That way I can hire a a cutter in 10 years, who makes a new master cut or includes old scenes in a new film. You could of cause make a contract with the creator, that the has to archive the footage for the next 70 years, but it is a hassle and a high risk, especially if you moved to an other country and now you somehow have to connect all the film studios, that they can collaborate and produce a new film together behind you back. The other point is remastering the footage in 20-30 years, if we have new standards and technologies. Much easier with raw footage. Maybe we use different color spaces in the future. Then REC.709 is just a bad choice. An other scenario: I contract an other producer in 25 years, who should create a foto album for me about my marriage. How can he match the style of all photos, if he does not have the raw files? The end result would be much worse. A compromise probably could be an intermediate product, where I get edited footage with a high bitrate, bit depth and custom conversion LUTs for other color spaces. It is a pity, that nobody talks about the points mentioned above, wich are, in my view, very valid and fair points.

    Diffusion materialss doesnt actually change the actual ray of light coming through it? (2:45) It does scatter the light rays like it is shown it the video (3:27). This natural phenomenon occurs in nature with the sunlight and the clouds. The sun doesn´t move (the hard light source) it is the clouds (diffusion) that are positioned between the light source (sun) and the subject (earth, cities, people etc.). The fact that we can move the diffusion material near or far away the light source doesn´t exclude the fact that the light is being diffused, i e scattered. Correct me if I am wrong but I thought scattered light IS diffused light.

    • @PullMyFocus
      @PullMyFocus Před měsícem

      Scattered rays of light are relative to the subject and the light source. The sun can be a sharp point of light in the sky creating harsh shadows. But if I was close to it in a space ship it would loom large and hit me with scattered light from all over its surface. It's the same with a diffusion frame. The wave of light hasn't actually changed.

    In different industries, this conversation evolves. My customers sign 5 year agreements with me. There are months, sometimes years, when they miss out and invoice. Depending on the dollar amount, we let it stack up and make it right with them eventually.

    If you are making a video about filmmaking why not have shots that are well lit

    • @PullMyFocus
      @PullMyFocus Před měsícem

      Because the point of this video is about shot lists, not lighting. We don't have a full crew and a grip/electric truck to film well lit exterior shots when it's not the focus of the video.

    In my case, my client has not paid me for 4 months. They never replied to my email, and I only found out through another freelancer that they said that they did not pay pay because there was an error on my invoice, something I was never notified about. Now I am waiting for my cheque, they told me that it will arrive in 3 weeks and it's already week 4 and nothing has shown up on my address. I don't want to work with them ever again.

    I appreciate your video, at the same time kind of freaking out, I can’t seem to find Topaz version 4 and it was my understanding that it only took 4GB of dedicated VRam now on the new version it says 6 and I don’t have 6 on my laptop that took me a very long time to find. Man I hope I didn’t get cancelled out I have an SD film that I was counting on with this upscale! Topaz will really be letting me down if 4 just isn’t available anymore!

    My learning is that the Century company made the ubiquitous studio version of these stands and Century got shortened to "C" stands in the biz. The legs are three different heights because then it is possible to nest a bunch of stands very close together on crowded sets by having the numerous legs involved stepping over top of each other. You can't do that with equal height angled legs that have those thin flat spreading braces connecting them. As was demonstrated, there is no space saving to having them detach. In fact it's worse and that's also taking more time.

    One thing I've noticed while using this software is that using the models made for sharpening already good video are the best for upscaling any video resolution. The low quality models tend to just smudge all details.

  • @PiotrBarcz

    I've been using TVEAI for several years, since version 2.6 I think, it's still the best upscaling program on the market and well worth the price!

    Was Vista Vision the forerunner of IMAX? IMAX Cameras are huge, and load. Vista Vision Cameras can be build smaller. Vista Vision is the best compromise between common 35 mm and 70 mm IMAX. A native projection of Vista footage vision must look awesome. It would be interesting to watch the differences in split screen of Vista Vision and common 35 mm projection.

    An excellent and very full presentation of Vistavision. VV is a relatively uncelebrated format but the richness of the colour and the fresh-air open quality of the image has never, in my perception, been bettered. Cinemas equipped with VV projectors were rare. I live in the UK where I think only two such installations existed, both in London. Alas, I never got to see a film projected this way but I have seen a 70mm blow up of _Vertigo_ and that was breathtaking. Technirama, a combination of Vistavision and Cinemascope, which could be shown on a much wider screen, had the same qualities. Well done. I will look at your other videos. As for IMAX, point taken, but it's just too big for a 1940's and 50's film lover.
