Quick Note: Redcine-X & corrupt RCX project files

1 month ago
by ntbullock in
As of the current build of Redcine-X if you start a project, save it, and then later rename that project outside of Redcine it will give you an error message stating that it has been corrupted. I’ve had this happen and fortunately it’s nothing as serious as all that. It’s an annoying bug that I [...]

2 months ago
by ntbullock in
So one of the more interesting features of the new RED Scarlet is its ability to shoot high dynamic range video. The feature captures two video streams simultaneously. The exposure of these two streams are linked but independent, meaning you expose one stream to capture your highlights and the [...]

6 months ago
by ntbullock in
I recently landed on Magic Bullet’s Colorista II plugin for Final Cut Pro 7 as I endeavor to color grade a feature film. I’m using version 1.0.1. I had an issue where when I would adjust the Primary HSL parameter I would get “dead pixels,” so to speak. It went from this:   To this:  By adjusting [...]

FCPX – Apple’s Vision “iClouded”

10 months ago
by ntbullock in
This is not a review of FCPX. And that’s kind of my point here… Before FCPX was released I was ridiculously giddy with anticipation. Those who truly know me know that “giddy” is rare and reserved for truly nerdy tech. Seriously, though, … I was giddy. The initial video that surfaced about FCPX [...]

Can editing in Final Cut Pro be done using H.264 encoded video? Yeah. Is it a great experience? Uh, no. I’ve had projects handed to me that were shot using DSLRs, so it came complete with tons of H.264 footage. I’ve purposefully ingested the H.264 footage on a couple simpler projects to see if [...]

Ill Continuity

1 year ago
by ntbullock in
Having an eye to catch continuity errors in films can be a treat or it can be a curse. An editor’s job can be tough; trying to make events that happened independently of each other feel natural, continuous, or at least fall under our threshold of perceptibility. It can be a tough gig. Continuity [...]

The opportunity to have hands on experience interested me greatly, so when a good friend called and said, “We have a RED for a [...]
