3 Rules Every Colorist Should Know

Doug Jensen · June 5th, 2019, 04:47 AM

Just for the record, I'd never grade LOG in Premiere and I don't know any professional colorists who do. And your speculations about my workflow, hardware, and grading techniques are laughable. Enough said.

Of course, Doug. You never bring up any specifics, so you can always just say that my speculations are laughable. Perhaps you do all of your "grading" (whatever you mean by that) in Adobe Bridge instead. Does Adobe Bridge just let you do basic corrections? I don't know, I never use it since I produce full projects requiring Premiere. And saying you would never color Log footage in Premiere is equally as dumb as saying that Final Cut Pro X is worthless. Maybe you can't get good results, but that's on you. The tool is just fine. Highly doubt you're round-tripping to Resolve for your training videos.

Gary, if you think that you can spew out a bunch of nonsense about my software, hardware, workflow, or anything else that you know absolutely nothing about -- and then have me spend time correcting it, defending it, or explaining myself, you're out of your mind. I don't owe you an explanation about anything, expecially about things that I have never said and incorrect assumptions you have made. It's all in your head. I don't have time for your trolling and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop trying to put words in my mouth or guessing about what I do, how I do it, or why I do it.

That's odd, Doug. You have twice now responded to me, and both times your posts are completely devoid of any specifics. Of course, we both know why that is. Though it has just occurred to me that I am the only one so far to offer both specifics and examples, and you have offered neither. Just naysaying. Perhaps my specifics went over your head?

Gary is the reason I finally learned how to use the "ignore list" after almost ten years on DVinfo. Bliss.
