Re: Goodbye apple color hello davinci resolve for mac for $ 995

you guys in the states and europe are so lucky you don't work in south africa...i have to practically beg to get my clients to pay $50 hour for grading.....if i do a one hour show in around 12 hours i'm only making $500. in the past they would pay $200 hour to do an HD grade in the davinci 2K suite or the EQ room. the normal pal davinci suite for tape to tape was around $150 hour. most clients down here won't even bother with grading because they just can't afford it. some one hour dramas are shot and finished for about 1/10th of the cost of an american production. i figured with color i could offer a cheaper solution but they still bitch and moan. so count your blessings guys. there will always be clients who can afford to pay more and if you have them hold on to them but the writing has been on the wall for along time.in this time of tight money and budgets you gotta offer something great for next to nothing or just pack up and start a coffee shop.
