Re: [Avid-L2] Freeze Frame Not Work in MC 2019.6.0?

 

I prefer to use a Timewarp effect on a clip in the Timeline and set it to 0% over applying a freeze frame to a source clip. I save the effect template in my bin so I can drop it onto any clip in the Timeline when needed.

You can only Freeze Frame from the Source side, and only from master clips.  If you put a sequence or a group clip into the Source monitor, you have to match back to the original master clip in order to do a freeze frame.

I don't know if this holds true for adding a 0% speed effect to a frame, but to create the actual freeze frame with its own media, the above is true, and in my experience, always has been.

I'm not on MC 2019 yet, but I've worked on all previous versions of Composer.  

For the record, Freeze Frame was always a menu item, but they moved its location in 2018.  Not in front of MC right now, so I don't remember exactly where.  I've got it mapped to my keyboard, and I remember having to search for it after we upgraded.

I poked around some more and it turns out it only works off of the Source side monitor, but not the Record monitor.


Is that the way it always was, and I'm just not remembering? Because it sure seems your could do it from either side in past versions.

But I'm certainly willing to be wrong.

Thanks,

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: ISO New Techniques for Calibration by Eye

 

The most important control in any monitor is the RGB, both in high and low. 

It affects your color balance and gamma curve. It is the primary tool when electronically calibrating a monitor. 

And I agree with Terrence, use a probe and software. There are free software. And paid ones like ChromaPure are affordable. 

And with calibration, as more your learn the better you get. Soon <Delta 2 will be easy and you will be shooting for <Delta 1.

I have found that the most critical adjustment on a monitor is the brightness.
This I set up using a PLUGE signal, adjusting it so I can only just make out the superblack.
I even put a second or so on the front of every playout for Qt and DVD viewing copies, so I can check how quicktime and different viewing OS and platforms handle it.
By feeding a Panny plasma RGB from Aja Lhi saturation is fixed and correct (I think...)
I white and black balance using an x-rite probe to D65.
Behind the monitor is an area of white dimly lit by Led lights tweaked to also be white.
(This has quite an influence, as when working where there is natural light, there is a big variation in how I grade images throughout the day.)
I have tried full probe checks with swept values sent to the monitor, but using Avid as the source and stepping through the charts is quite a faff with my setup, and the results are somewhat erratic.
