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. #ColourGrading #ColorGrading

@stubbers @Jplonie I switched from Premiere to #DaVinciResolve because I wanted to try using #Linux as my daily driver on my workstation. I still have to use Windows for #AffinitySuite because #GNUImp is garbage, but getting away from Adobe's toxic corporate attitude has definitely been a plus. I had a couple decades' experience with After Effects, so i missed it for a while, until I discovered how powerful (and hackable) Fusion could be.

@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

@Ruhrnalist To be precise: Only the Studio version supports import of h264-files. #DavinciResolve doesn't support the AAC audio codec, PCM is fine. I do record PCM in some of my cameras and OBS and convert the rest. Also: not all export formats are supported, but you can export to mov and convert if necessary. Features are identical on linux and windows.

Good morning Fedi friends!

Not much to report on the #selfhosting side... I need to update #Ghost to its latest version but I have another day of filming ahead... so maybe I'll get into it tomorrow morning while my husband takes care of our daughter. VPS Snapshot -> a couple of commands and the new Ghost should be updated in give or take 10 minutes (if all goes well, ha!)

My point today was to say that being a beginner is really humbling. I've been a total newbie in the self-hosting / Linux space. How fun it is to learn new things!

And now I'm experiencing the newbie feeling in my professional field - filmmaking - as I am learning a new editing system: #DaVinciResolve.

I started out editing in #FinalCut Pro in film school... then moved over to #AdobePremiere when Apple remade Final Cut from scratch, simplifying it for beginners. And now that Adobe is on the highway to enshittification and is hiking prices to extortionate levels, I am moving to DaVinciResolve.

When I moved from Final Cut to #Adobe Premiere I imported Final Cut shortcuts... so it was really easy to get started fast. Professional editors use keyboard shortcuts for EVERYTHING and almost never go to the menu for actions... Well, there is no such thing as importing shortcuts into DVR, so I need to learn its shortcuts from scratch. And it's a lot of fun! A little embarrassing to say that yesterday it took me 10 minutes and multiple searches to figure out that to cut a clip at a specific point I had to use command-B.

It's super humbling to feel like a beginner in film editing - when, in my previous life, I used to spend 10 hours a day every day editing or doing motion graphics. I hit the proverbial 10,000 hours many times over.

I love this "newbie" feeling and I never get tired of learning.

Wishing everyone a great day!

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.

Oliko sulla joku syy asentaa se mieluummin kuin ajaa ohjelmaa distroboxissa? Lähinnä kiinnostaisi että toimisiko useampi videoformaatti sillä kurin tai jos sen tosiaan asentaisi siihen Rocky Linuxiin?

Käsitin että säätämisen tarve johtuu siitä että nämä kodeekit liittyvät kaupallisiin formaatteihin eikä siltä voi mitenkään välttyä, eikä kaikissa tapauksissa kiertää ollenkaan.

Vähän samaa "ongelmaa" esiintyy jo Windowsissa Audacityn kanssa. Ja samasta syystä.

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.

Screenshot of a statement from Blackmagic Design. At the top is the company's logo and name. The text says: We wanted to post a quick note on USA prices and the new government tariff changes. Most products in the USA have increased and please check our web site for details. DaVinci Resolve and Blackmagic Cloud prices remain the same. It’s also worth noting that price increases only affect the US and prices in other countries are currently unchanged.
