Ah glow~ I like it. I’m using earlier CGT version though. Yes building one’s own GHears sounds fun.

Her face was too dim from Dense Night gear. So I applied a mask layer tracking on her eyebrow. Just one more step to apply the Ghrain Killer on the layer and tune it. Hehe.

Thanks for the great work @shian. I'd say it's definitely better than MBL. BTW the robot was taken by hacked GF3. CGT worked nicely with GF3. ColorGFear? :)

Thanks, Shian.

ColorGHear is working great for me and I've only gotten halfway through the tutorials. Really nice work Shian. This isn't the greatest example because the lighting was not consistent, but CGH transforms it into something really nice in no time flat. I use it on every clip I shoot. Looking forward to more tutorials! I'm on a PC so might have a few questions to dial in the best export settings, if I export from PrPro, although Shian covers PCs as well. I don't transcode to anything before editing. I'm on a pretty fast machine, that's one nice advantage I suppose, although I like Macs also.

with PP it's simple. Once you have your audio in place, save your project. Close Premiere, open AE, go to import> and select import Premiere Pro Project. Done.

Then watch all the tutorials, especially the "working with sequences" ones.

@x_worpig_x That has been exported to a DNxHD mov file but its basically the same as the MTS shot from the camera in terms of color. It has zero corrections applied.

Still working on the title sequence but here a before and after still ...I will be likely using CG with AE for a long time . At the very least to correct "problem" shots.... If you still don't have this and you use after effects....buy it, buy it buy it....its totally worth it.

-I just cropped em on the quick so yeah I know they dont match ....

He he, that shot with them sitting on the grass was so heavily graded it almost looked like keyed footage :)

the one I just linked above (in my last post)

@Jodan a new site design is coming, with images, before and after, etc, and a forum. But the first teaser video I did does have before and after in it - in fact the whole 2nd half of the video is before and after comparisons.

(Actually replying to your PM in another window right now.)

I WISH After Effects had LAB color. There are a whole host of looks I can do with it that I used to do in Photoshop as a batch process. Maybe we'll get LAB in CS6. We've been asking for it for years along with scopes.

No plans for sharpening as of yet. It is a lost cause in my opinion with 4:2:0. Works okay on 4:2:2 and 4:4:4, but all attempts with GH2 footage to add sharpness has produced halos.

Also, I find GH2 footage to be so much sharper than other DSLR footage that it seems a moot point. If the image isn't sharp it's either the lens or the operator.

yeah i saw that article i while ago very interesting, and gives real consideration to where image quality is heading i been amazed by gh2 with sedna quality it might not be 4.2.2 or 4.4.4 but how the image is cut in such fine detail gives a unique look. defenitly a beast gh2. im still learning cc but to have this high bitrate yields much more space to play which i couldnt do years ago with dv cameras.

So, as a result of my most recent gig, I was invited to quite possibly the most interesting gathering I’ve ever attended. You see, when you shoot television, the dailies get sent to the network that following Monday, and are viewed by a great many people... and people have a tendency to talk, and so my imdb page ranking exploded, and I got a phone call inviting me to come out last night, and hang out with a few very respected Cinematographers (one of which I have long considered a hero). And so sitting in a private club, drinking wine, and talking shop with these guys was just the coolest damn thing that has ever happened to me. It was almost an unspoken, “Welcome to the club, kid.” At one point the discussion turned to my work with the GH2, and how I combat the highlight wall (those 3 stops above 50% before total blowout), and then to the subject of Genesis vs RED vs Alexa vs Film, and what exactly is 4k, much of it I knew, but I did learn quite a few things I didn’t know when I went in. So, after leaving there with my head buzzing (both from the wine and the discussion) I came home and found this article which details much of what was discussed. It’s a few years old, but lays out some of the common misconceptions about 4k (most of which I already knew, but some VERY interesting things I didn’t.) I think it’s a MUST READ for everyone shooting on a DSLR and suffering from 4k envy.

and then this one.

Needless to say, its been quite a lot to process, and I gotta tell ya: I’m going to seriously rethink my approach to the GH2. I think I might actually be able to get even more out of the camera than I have been already. I will, of course, pass that knowledge along to the CGT community. And I will likely tweak quite a few of the GHears accordingly.

BTW I still suffer from 444 envy, but not so much 4k.

this plugin needs to be ported to nle's. ps i use avid.
