Re: With 8.1.1 BM has just thrown a very destructive blow to the entire C-grading business

I'm sitting as a client in a Baselight suite right now with someone who grades full time. I have a Resolve back at the studio. But it's horses for courses.

Having a Resolve and a Tangent with a cheap grade 1 monitor is really cool. But it's basically a part-time setup.

I can see why the big Resolve panel costs so much now. And also why you should let a full-time grader do the work. We're getting through about four times the number of shots that I would get through, even with a freelancer. The productivity gain is huge.

I bought the resolve because it helps us deal quickly with digital rushes... And great for quick grades.

But without the big panel, a proper monitor, calibration etc, you're not going be threatening the industry.

Cheap resolve means more people being interested in decent colour grading. Just like DSLR's made people think about digital cinema.

Color didn't kill grading. Neither will this.
Enjoy it!
