You know what would really be useful in #Premiere or #Resolve? Having a warning indicator when a clip you pull onto your timeline will overwrite/replace another that's outside the current view.
Here, I made a mock-up.

Screenshot of the pop-up menu when right-clicking in the gallery stills pane. The mouse pointer hovers over "Copy Grade: Copy All Node Layers" which has a tick mark in front and an arrow pointing at it.
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! 😅

Oh, the joys of working between Christmas and New Year’s and sending out emails 😅
Hope you all had a great* 2025, can't wait for 2026!

Lots of thing happening so I almost missed the North American release of Girl Climber which I graded. The low-light shots benefited from NeatVideo 6 and Topaz helped with reducing some highly compressed archival stuff.

As a video production professional I can say that emoji in files are definitely a thing for at least a year and were the cause of countless grueling shifts trying to figure out, why a render would crash 💀
A rather complex node tree in Resolve. We got Layer mixers, Splitters, Mergers, OFX, key mixers, etc.
The result is worth all this, I swear! 🫠

Table listing "Running time in Minutes" and "Number of Shots" by year starting from 2010 to 2024. In 2024, I graded 29110 shots, with a total runtime of 1873.2 minutes. In total, i graded 361515 shots with a total runtime of 26247.2 minutes
What a year! In 2024 I graded almost 30k shots. I hope 2025 will be a little quieter 😅

I should probably post more about #colorgrading since this is my new social home. What hot takes from the color suite would you be interested in? 😊

Photo taken with a Samsung S23 Ultra. It's a long shot of a bus in front of an illuminated parking lot at night in fog. It was taken with the phone's default camera app.
The same photo but graded "cinematically" with a strong orange/teal look.
Color grading in a nutshell: Making images look nice and giving them a look that emphasizes the story and mood.

Oh no, I made another design for my #colorist colleagues and other folks in #postproduction. Wearing this on a T-shirt is a conversation starter, believe me! 😅

I love this! #stereoscopy

Pop goes the color😅

And how's your Friday going?
A node tree showing a junction of a side-tree only used for pulling mattes via qualifiers. Their alpha is then fed into individual nodes where the grading happens. The results are combined in a parallel note at the end.
Today’s #Colorist Tip: Try to work modular, especially when you can expect changes.
For example, with this node tree I can tweak certain colors completely individually from the look in case the client wants to experiment but their brand colors should remain intact.

It's one of those days 😅
I can only imagine! This must've taken hours. 🙈
I’m used to looming deadlines, but when you have 1 shift to deliver and the other end starts the transfer of your data late, you know you're in for a ride. Especially when you have to factor in conform, rendering, upload on your side, download+unzip on the client side again, etc.
The turnaround time on this one was wild: To-color delivery of a 60 GB ProRes4444 from Japan; I stared my 4.5 hrs of #colorgrading on an mp4, of which I lost 1 hr trying to online the ProRes; rendering; then 60 gigs to transfer back to Japan for final assembly😅

Hey thank you, Bill! Yeah, tools made quite some strides since the good old 3-Way Color Corrector in FCP for sure! 😊 There’s just so much more you can do now, I was faster in the old days 😅
