The new Magic Mask tracker in #DaVinciResolve 20 is pretty incredible. Here's a quick track I did with just two single points in one frame.

Blackmagic Design just released a fantastic new camera, plus a bunch of other new products, and an update to DaVinci Resolve 20 (free update because it's a lifetime licence, not a subscription rip-off).

Customers started placing orders, and units would have started shipping immediately after the announcement at NAB 2025 just two days ago.

Now, Trump's terrible tariffs are biting. Blackmagic Design has been forced to increase prices for all hardware sold in the USA by 32%.

Edit to update:

Blackmagic Design has wasted no time, and announced that they've implemented a workaround:
"We have moved production of the PYXIS cameras to reduce the impact of the tariffs." — Kris Lam, Product Manager, Cameras Department, Blackmagic Design

A tiny number of countries have not been hit by Trump's new sanctions: Belarus, Burkina Faso, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, North Korea, Palau, Russia, Seychelles, Somalia, and Vatican City.

My educated guess is that the country where Blackmagic Design expanded its pre-existing manufacturing base is Mexico.

Are Trump's sanctions strongarming companies into moving jobs to the USA to Make America Great Again?
No. They're merely causing a scheduling wrinkle of less than one week while companies pivot to manufacturing in Mexico.

Quelqu'un a de petites connaissances en encodage vidéo ?

Je réencode souvent des vidéos en x265 10-bit 2000 kB/s (meilleur équilibre poids-qualité pour moi).

Je cherche le débit équivalent pour le 720p.
Je pars du principe qu'il y a 2 fois moins d'info à traiter. Parce-que :
1080 x 1920 = 2073600 pixels
720 x 1280 = 921600
921600 / 2073600 = 0,444

Je dois donc appliquer un débit de 888 kB/s.
Est-ce que ce calcul a du sens ? Ou est-ce que c'est plus compliqué ?

Es ist nun schon mehr als ein halbes Jahr her, dass ich mich von #Adobe|s #CreativeCloud getrennt habe. Es hat einige Zeit gebraucht, doch inzwischen schneide ich Videos mit #DavinciResolve, bearbeite Fotos mit @darktable und PDFs mit #PDF24. Und mit jedem Tag werde ich etwas sicherer und freue mich etwas mehr darüber, auch weil ich monatlich 60 Euro mehr zur Verfügung habe. Es geht doch ohne das große A.

Making a new effect today.

Important milestone for my timecode gizmo: this is the first successful syncing using a cell phone and the Teensy board implementing an USB audio device, plugged as an external mic into the USB-C port. This is important as I'm pivoting my project toward youtubers rather than indy cinematographers who are already using overpriced and counter intuitive SMPTE LTC generators in their workflow

The last maintenance release of the 24.12 cycle is out.

Finally found a way to transfer timelines between #Resolve (so, everything) and #Avid both ways with only linked media (original camera files) via AAF, without generating any new media files. Took me like 6 hours (to find out, not to do) but did it!

Last week, some members of the #Kdenlive core team met in Amsterdam for a short sprint to plan some actions for this year. One of the highlights was a visit to the @Blender foundation. Thanks @fsiddi for receiving us.

This visit was possible thanks to @kde and our community donations.

Any idea why #Resolve doesn't show these obviously offline clips in the Index??

So my #DavinciResolve install I just redid is having an issue where my wholse desktop freezes for a second or two when I do ANYTHING in it. And then its fine.

Uh... How do I stop that?

Guess where we're at? And why?

The second maintenance release of the 24.12 cycle is out with multiple bug fixes. Notable changes include fixes for crashes, UI resizing issues, effect stack behavior, proxy clip handling, and rendering progress display, along with improvements to Speech-to-text in Flatpak and macOS packages.

Is there a decent simple open source/free video editor out there?

I've been trying to do simple stuff like clip a video to make a gif using #kdenlive but it's actually hard to get anything done without quite a learning curve.

I used to use #Camtasia all the time, when I had a paid license for it through work, and that's the kind of simple I mean.

Bizarre bug(?) in FCP: dropping a clip into a project that is set to the same resolution and frame rate (1080p/23.98) and the same three frames out of every second are consistently dropped. Almost like one side of the app sees the metadata and plays it back, but the engine fails to render.

Solution? Add an effect, in this case a blur, but set the amount to zero. This forces FCP to re-render the clip, and eliminates the missed frames. WTF.

KDE's recently adopted animation program Glaxnimate releases version 0.6.0 Beta.

This is the first official _test_ release of Glaxnimate under the KDE umbrella and testers are needed to check for bugs. Download the AppImage and try it out!
