No. Let me repeat I NEVER go back to FCP or PP, NEVER. I always finish in AE. It's simpler, and I get better results, without crashing.

Export XML to AE, in AE identify which clips will be graded similarly, select them, and pre-comp them, continue until I've got however many different grades I need setup in each's individual comp, grade each. When I'm done, it's a s simple as going back to the original comp, which will now contain all the graded precomps (if you follow the tutorials correctly) and just export that comp.

watch the working with sequences tutorials, identify the components that will get a similar grade and put them in their own comp, grade accordingly, that way you essentially only do 6, or so, grades instead of trying to grade every cut. As far as Dynamic Linking, you'll have to ask someone else. I never finish in PP.

@shian Granada is a beautiful city, the whole Spain is amazing you definitely should go

@shian take a look at this Time-Laps I did this last year put I re-uploaded the file after using CGT

@Aksel it's a "quality of light" issue. I'll eventually do a tutorial examination of this in the advanced Film School tuts, but the quality of the light is something most beginners don't notice at first, except that when they see it, they ask, "Why does that look so good?" And the answer usually is (leaving out the talent of the DP) the quality of the light.

@Aksel if it can be dialed to 3200K as well. Some people don't like LED lighting for skin tone. I'm one of them... but it's fine for eye-lights, and a fill in a run-and-gun pinch.

@psywhisper @pvjames awesome work, as always.

@Shian

About the light kit for a narrative work mainly (some interviews once in a while) do you think a kit of 3 LED lights is a good idea? like this ones

@sanzadez Yikes, You're turning into me. I've created a monster!!! :)

@shian That's pretty amazing kit! I feel that this will be perfect for the docu-style work...

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/624581-REG/Dedolight_SPS5_SPS3_5_Light_Portable_Kit.html - probably taking this one...

@Oedipax thank u. ^_^ i put an empty parfum bottle in front of the lens. @shian ok :)

@RRRR Mostly documentary style projects (buying a RED and set of PL cine lenses and probably that insane 50mm F0.95 Leica lens too.. for a big project that is now in preparation, so I'm calculating a budget right now..). I just need a good, solid set of lights to use here and there... inside/outside...

@Shian Thanks! I'll go with that Arri set + 1000w (maybe two..) Arri and also I'd like to take some small adjustable LED light (Do you have any tips on a good LED lights?).. I won't go for the 2K ones, as I do not want to get a generator at this moment..

@psywhisper @RRRR great videos!! Tag them with ColorGHear and I'll add them to the channel.

@MarkV the Arri kit is a good start, http://www.filmtools.com/arlitminkit5.html

I'd add either one of these to the order -

http://www.filmtools.com/ar20frescoms.html

http://www.filmtools.com/ar1kfrspliw7.html

get some C-stands, http://www.filmtools.com/censtancstan.html

sand bags, http://www.filmtools.com/lindcraft-sandbag-with-filmtools-logo-black-35-lb.html

and a basic half flag and scrim kit. http://www.filmtools.com/filmtools-practical-flag-kit-18x24.html

I will be showing you how to build your own flags and diffusion frames for next to nothing on the Film School series, but these half scrims and silks are really a must buy item, I don't yet have a good DIY solution for those yet. (The ones that have no support frame on one side that way you don't get a hard shadow edge off it.)

The problem you run into, is that to really be any use outdoors in daylight you need at least a 1K because as soon as you add a gel to correct the color to sunlight, you lose nearly 2 stops of light. I don't know if Pyramid Films will ship to you, but I get used stuff from the Studios through them at ridiculously low prices. I bought four 2k B&M fresnels with double rise combo stands that Disney was offloading, for $600 TOTAL!!! The problem is, you never know when they're gonna have stock. AND everything they sell over 2K will blow the breakers on household power (a 20AMP circuit can only handle 2200 watts of load). You need a generator to run the bigger lights, which is why they have so many 4k and 5K lights left over.

MarkV what do you want to do?
