This is just a quick heads up as I’m on the road right now.
Sony have released a major update for Catalyst Browse and Catalyst prepare that is packed full of bug fixes. https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/catalystbrowse
In addition Black Magic design have just release the public beta of DaVinci Resolve 18.5. With this update you can now use the Raw controls in the Grading room to control the ISO/White Balance/Tint etc of S-Log3 footage from the FX series cameras. This makes it so easy to adjust for any exposure offsets. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/davinci-resolve-and-fusion
I’ve been testing the latest version of Prepare plug-in for the stabilisation tool and I’m finding if I apply a Catalyst effect to a clip, Premiere immediately crashes to desktop whenever the app is launched. This is on a M1 Studio Max.
Bug fixes or no fixes, it is completely outrageous and unacceptable that Sony’s ‘update’ has now made it so that one can not re-render out interlaced clips that one stabilizes with this ‘update’ in Catalyst Browse. This is an absurd step BACKWARD. Had Sony not wildly touted Catalyst Browse from the time they released FX9, one might not be incensed. But as it currently stands, Sony is attempting to FORCE purchasers of its very pricey pro cameras and lenses now to sign up for the stupidly expensive annual subsrciption version, something that was never required with prior version. Smoke emits swifly from mine ears. I hope that Sony gets an appropriate earful – and will be encouraged to actually produce the DAW plug in for Resolve that it never has made, despite suggesting that it would support various DAWs.
Does the 18.5 update apply only to FX series (e.g. excludes any A7 series S-log 3 10-bit capable camera)? And I’m assuming this is essentially a UI improvement–the math would be the same as a correctly-color-managed exposure adjustment on the HDR Global Controls? Thanks Alister.
Regarding – “With this update you can now use the Raw controls in the Grading room to control the ISO/White Balance/Tint etc of S-Log3 footage from the FX series cameras.”
I’ve tried this, but can’t see this new Raw function in Resolve 18.5 for Sony FX6 S-Log3 XAVC-I clips.
Did it make it into 18.5?
Thank you,
