Look at this: Bring Final Cut Pro 7 projects back into modern editors. Drop a project file and get XML that DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro can import. No Final Cut required. https://exhume.app/ (Via stooovie@mas.to)

That’s a lot of hardworking VFX artists for a movie that’s “everything is practical”. 🤔

Stop previews from autoplaying on Apple TV sixcolors.com/post/2026/07...

Today was one of the most boring keynotes ever. Did you realize they didn’t demo anything “live” until Siri AI at 35’ in? I miss the old live keynotes with hands on demos where you could see the feature being used in real scenarios.

Kolor, a FREE color space transform plugin for #FinalCutPro so you can avoid using the built in camera LUTs that can destroy your image on the first step of the color process. Read about it here: https://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2026/06/05/kolor-cst-for-final-cut-pro/

Yesterday Blackmagic released the official DaVinci Resolve 21. It’s out of beta.

Off topic. MRI at my insurer’s facility (yes the one I’m paying every month): over $800. If I go somewhere else out of network and pay cash: $400. WTF!!! Wake up USAniards! This is not how it’s supposed to work.

Quite literally years in the making, BRAW Toolbox v3.0.0 now includes a Blackmagic RAW Media Extension, allowing you to load BRAW natively and directly in Final Cut Pro, QuickTime Player and any other application that supports Media Extensions. 🥳 brawtoolbox.fcp.cafe

What? Atomos has bought Flanders Scientific!! https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bram-desmet-9965582_extremely-excited-to-finally-be-able-to-share-activity-7449259607509708800-QVIe

eGPU support is back on Macs, yes Apple silicon Macs. https://appleinsider.com/articles/26/04/04/amd-or-nvidia-egpus-can-work-on-apple-silicon-macs-but-not-for-graphic-acceleration?utm_source=rss

Some Apple products are so beautifully crafted that when they discontinue them it makes me want them more instead of less. https://appleinsider.com/articles/26/03/26/in-with-a-bang-out-in-silence----the-end-of-the-mac-pro?utm_source=rss

I wish Apple made displays in 2 flavors: - Display with speakers and webcam - Display only I don’t need over engineered speakers in my monitors and 2 webcams, can I get a discount?

Colorist quick tip when working Resolve: To retain any node cache status (auto/on/off) when copying a grade via middle-click: 1) Right click in the gallery pane 2) tick "Copy Grade: Copy All Node Layers" Glad I finally figured this out! 😅 #colorist #resolve #videopost

The new visual and transcript search in #FinalCutPro is very cool. Here’s a little #tip: Set the browser to group clips by relevance. That way you get a visual break on the results for high and low relevance.

@elgato.com what are we waiting for a Stream Deck XL with scissor keys?

Let’s discuss Final Cut Pro and Apple Creator Studio over at FCP Cafe! fcp.cafe/news/20260114/

Exciting news! www.apple.com/newsroom/202...

How can a DIT provide a report without including camera brand/model info? Mind boggling.

#DaVinciResolve v20 still has issues making H265 exports on M Macs. I see repeated frames occurring in those exports that are not present on ProRes exports of the same sequences. I’ve been seeing this kind of issues for the last 2 years and different M Macs.

How does the saying go? “Happy client, happy life”?

Somewhere after #DaVinciResolve v20.1 the soft buttons user assignments on the Advanced Panels became persistent. Before you had to assign them every time after launching the app. Now they are remembered even between system restarts.

New Affinity all in one app for FREE if you don’t want/need AI features. https://www.affinity.studio/get-affinity Less excuses to use Adobe stuff. (Did I say o don’t like subscriptions?)

Sorry but I can’t take your YouTube grading tutorial with your gaming chair and your laptop connected to a regular computer monitor seriously.

@blackmagicdesign.bsky.social when are you gonna start using this account to tell us the news?

My favorite iPhone cases are available for pre-order for the 17 Pro models. Detachable grip and easy mounting of a variable ND filter, minimal bulk when de-rigged.

Apple announces Final Cut Camera 2.0 and mentions… “upcoming releases of Final Cut Pro 11.2 and Final Cut Pro for iPad 2.3, editors gain control over iPhone ProRes RAW footage, with direct adjustments for exposure, color temperature, tint, and demosaicing.” www.apple.com/newsroom/202...

Does ProRes Raw recording in the new iPhone 17 Pro and BMD camera app mean ProRes Raw support in #DaVinciResolve?

When a director sends you cookies from Hawaii with a handwritten note to thank you for your work it’s the best feeling.

Botox ruins performances.

Why do construction workers do the loudest thing for 30 min first thing when they start working to then go quiet for 3 hrs? Couldn’t they have done that last thing the day before?

News! New Final Cut Pro plugin for Krock, a post production organisation and review system that competes with FrameIO, Shotgrid, Boords and Ftrack. Includes • Overlay mode: to check for image differences • Auto-compare mode highlights visual differences with colour krock.io/finalcut-int...

“With claims of a staggering 20 stops of dynamic range packed into a stacked sensor architecture, Apple might be gearing up to rival — or even surpass — the giants of cinema camera technology.” https://ymcinema.com/2025/06/25/apple-just-patented-an-image-sensor-with-20-stops-of-dynamic-range/

People talk shit about Twitter but here, except a couple of accounts, I only follow people from the entertainment industry yet 10% of my feed is about the craft and 90% is fucking politics. I know it’s a difficult time but I already read the news everyday.

@joeydanna.bsky.social I just listed to the podcast episode about HDR and I completely agree some people are too conservative with their HDR grades specially in the last 2-3 years a bunch of releases look completely SDR and it makes me sad.

Huge #DaVinciResolve v20 bug. With dynamic project switching off, opening another project and going back to the previous one resulted in a completely empty project. No bins, media or timelines. All gone. Glad I have automatic project backups. @blackmagicdesign.bsky.social

#DaVinciResolve v20 bug: If you use offset ball as the cursor on the advanced panel with Magic Mask 2, when clicking, it selects the area in Magic Mask but it jumps to the qualifier and also sets the range there.

Of all the things introduced yesterday I think #Spotlight is the one I’m most excited about. But in all articles I read they keep referencing #Alfred and #Raycast and only one named #Launchbar, which precedes them, it’s still available and it’s the OG of “Quick Keys” new feature in Spotlight.

It’s finally out! One of the latest projects I’ve worked on. Very happy with it. #Netflix #Thunderbirds #DavinciResolve #Colorgrading

New @elgato.com Stream Decks with scissor keys! I’ve been waiting for something like this for a looong time. But when will the XL be available with them?

@ptujec.bsky.social just wanted to thank you for sharing your #Launchbar actions with everyone.

Man, #DaVinciResolve stabilization in Perspective mode doesn’t like stills camera flashes at all… I have to try Similarity (which works 40%) or default to Translation which doesn’t smooth rotation very much. I wish it had separate sliders like FCP for translation, rotation and zoom.

Oh man, I still miss #Aperture. Bring Keywords to #Photomator!

Fellow film tech nerds, today I'm launching a brand new demo debunking some common misconceptions about so-called "HDR" colorspace. Up now on my website. #NerdyFilmTechStuff www.yedlin.net/DebunkingHDR

Very proud of this one! #Colorgrading #DaVinciResolve #Netflix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-BjU97fvPM

Edit in #DaVinciResolve but want to mix in #Reaper? Open Timeline IO support on Vordio is coming.
