In fact, ProRes stands side by side with Resolve... Horses for courses. As many fields in a same industry or industries of similar craft or technology realm. Their subscription model is not friendly nor up to date when we are in 2025 IMHO...

Hence my disclaimer up there on those 'clients' and word written in italics... 3rd business parties, co-workers, other professionals who have not adopted it yet, industry standards to require the hassle and yes, time, which and where a new standard can be not handy indeed. My point? That's a format to tend to end as rule of living. And mostly not necessarily part of everyone's life/work. No solution fits everything, pretty on the spot no less :- )

2025 model is arriving... this April 22. Updated X series version. A few people say it is the last one of this design. Both their teaser and this beta tester hint that we'll have an interchangeable/swappable lens camera this time...

Well... oh clients, other professionals in the same business/craft? ; ) @CaptainHook (https://www.eoshd.com/comments/profile/34137-captainhook/) is not here anymore, maybe this helps without such need for a call ;- ) https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?p=620814&sid=6daba22ef40403a68f15e835f55d4556#p620814 Anyway TBH, hard to tell how anyone can be indifferent to Resolve nowadays...

What's wrong with braw?! : ) 'cause your fav NLE doesn't support it yet? Otherwise, it's beyond me, like to say I need two domestic partners because to stay with just one of them is to end too limited... LOL :- ) Apples to oranges to my view IMHO.

Blackmagic Design, an Australia-based digital cinematography camera company, was gearing up to start making products in the United States before the Trump administration blew a tariff-shaped hole in its plans. Now, not only is Blackmagic having to increase prices in the US to mitigate some of the levies on imported goods, but those same tariffs are also making it difficult to justify opening a US production line. “We were planning to build a new factory in Dallas, Texas, to streamline our supply chain and allow us to work more directly with US semiconductor companies,” Blackmagic Design spokesperson Patrick Hussey told The Verge. The introduction and ever-shifting confusion around President Donald Trump’s blanket global tariffs have since complicated things according to Hussey, because while the semiconductor parts and PCBs used in Blackmagic’s cameras are sourced from US companies, those companies are importing them from overseas. “If we proceed with the US factory, we’d incur tariffs on those parts, increasing costs and negating the savings we anticipated,” said Hussey. It’s a no-win situation that many other businesses in and outside of the US are facing if they deal with global suppliers. While Trump has brazenly declared that tariffs will incentivize companies to bring manufacturing to the US to remain competitive, if these manufacturers use foreign equipment or materials in their supply chain, they may — directly or indirectly — still get hit with hefty import fees. (That’s leaving aside the cost of doing business when the fees change dramatically from day to day.) A supply chain survey conducted by CNBC found that 61 percent of respondents from unspecified businesses would be financially better off moving from high-tariff countries to lower-tariffed countries instead of the US, and 81 percent said if they did relocate to the US, they would automate production instead of hiring human workers, failing to deliver the manufacturing jobs Trump promised. 61 percent of the companies also warned they would raise prices for products coming in under the new tariff rates. Blackmagic Design customers have already noticed a price hike has been applied to all products sold in the US, with the new Pyxis 12K briefly listed at $6,600 after initially being marketed at $5,000. This has since fallen to $5,500 after Blackmagic announced it had moved Pyxis production to lessen the tariff impact, but prices in every country besides the US have remained completely unscathed. “Due to new government tariffs, price increases in the US have been unavoidable,” said Hussey. “That said, we operate factories in several countries, so production of some product lines has been relocated to reduce the impact on our customers.” Hussey told The Verge that Blackmagic is now planning to “wait a few months” to see if the supply chain for the components it needs will move to the US. “If it does, we could still achieve the supply chain benefits we were aiming for.” The Trump Administration added “smartphones, computers, and other electronics” to its list of tariff exemptions last week — a list with no clear carveout for cameras or camera-specific manufacturing equipment — but then swiftly warned that companies shouldn’t get comfy. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said these are not “a permanent sort of exemption,” and that these goods will be hit with the same unspecified tariff rules that Trump is expected to apply to the semiconductor industry in “a month or two.” https://www.theverge.com/news/649225/blackmagic-design-trump-us-tariffs-price-hike

Yes indeed, but mainstream politicians also have their dosis to blame. When they don't do their job, opportunists or radical ones easily pop up... Ideology can be dangerous but no less, ineptitude or lack of competence. André Ventura is very talented as I had the chance to change ideas with Francisco Louçã a week ago... This left-wing politician even agreed with me. We who love a free society we are in big trouble to say the least TBH. Here is his opinion aired on national TV on XIX century Trump's tariffs next day of our long conversation me and him in person of about one hour or so the day before... Louçã is also a reputable economics professor at the university, he explains how these nonsense tariffs have no logic at all... in Portuguese though to those who know the language, you can follow his interesting criticism, pity that White House economists are dumb or too subservient, to not call it 'moron' and 'dumber than a sack of bricks' as even Musk did. Louçã refers how USD is falling despite what could be expected from: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1032490332104272 Former London-based and City University London graduate Catarina Castro (and talented right-wing economist no less) is there too and tries to contradict him but ends to fail the argument that Trump's plan is the dollar down because of the debt. It's just pure markets' fear, folks! And that's actually scaring... When inflation and uncertainty enter the things cannot end well for no one. The orange man is placing that on hold for 90 days for some reason and Musk has called Peter Navarro of those significant gross names definitely not for no reason...

No shrinks to see in the States? : ) I don't realize how people don't get all this is insanity at best or worst ; ) Before, people were smarter when their king was crazy, they were used to put the guy off, now the majority elects the wildest... So, this is not only a problem of one sole guy : P I consider myself half liberal half conservative no less, but as even Pope Francis said, Kamala with her pro choice policy had been much safer no matter what we think about the woke agenda -- what such a stratagedy! Even with no particular end result in mind... Definitely much mooooore healthy than a basis who has no clue what actually is going on in this same planet ready for extinction nowadays. Let's not forget the climate change, ok? March was the warmest month ever in Europe as far as records hint. Guess it's never late or enough to recall this one once again when art is far to be distant from reality... The society is sick as whole. The same. The situation now seems a way worse than in that January 6... Never thought to have to arrive here. Humankind is hard to learn... North Americans from Washington DC rule, the new Romans as someone called them, as our species flagship, follow. What expects us all yet?

Much diplomatic... Maybe human race is going towards the extinction a way faster than the most pessimist expectations or we'll see the States blowing up in riots. I have no idea how close sane* people to him manage to handle his crises... We haven't arrived to 100 days yet and we are at this point. What comes next? * if any

The way these people praise their egos rather than the same planet we live all in is beyond me. RED as many others, the Apple in hands of 60% of the American users is only another example, they need to pay the same tariffs when import the components made elsewhere. Without mention, no Americans will ever accept to receive the same salaries as those people explored overseas. All this is a joke without any connection with reality... unless insanity of mid-20s. Pity politics is a showbiz today rather than seeing people going to the movies or reading a good book, as for instance. Looks like it's all about that. The introduction of social media twenty years ago would end not in a good shape, so here is. - EAG

This situation is a shame, this orange man is writing a black page in the history of the humankind and people who have voted him no less. Ronald Reagan should be as much embarrassed with Republicans as John McCain when refused to even figure this guy "to visit" his dead body... tariffs and paranoid policies are proper of communist regimes, not the free world of a bygone age nowadays.

Impressive @kye no idea what this forum would be without you, really. Food for thought. You're such an asset and a few people here, if no more or/and elsewhere, miss you when you're absent : ) You've summed up the whole thing : ) it's all about that, no more no less, one of the reasons why people love (and use) anamorphics :- )

Still on doubt actually, if just mere another non-sense ('movies looked better before "color grading" was invented' : D I've only paid attention to the talking marks... LOL ; ) or makes us to think better about that... Not a simple equation as much as film isn't either -- post in the previous century or after, is surely part of it (from the keyboard of someone with editing/post as his primary film background* exactly in the late 90s/turn of the century ; ) while digital is doubtlessly also this: No matter how many LUTs, TikTokers & suchlike with their bloody vertical aspect ratio pop up... Lang protested against snakes & funerals as their proper format to shoot them when 2.35:1 cinemascope arrived despite MOONFLEET had been shot by him, go figure! : P While we can only dream in 2.39:1 ratio but on screen and in B&W or Colour out of there too, one doesn't exclude the other ;- ) The director playing himself on JLG's masterpiece LE MÉPRIS... : D [*] Moreover, currently in charge of a large 16mm/8mm inventory in EU, UK and U.S., as well their variations aka Super 16/Super 8 to be digitally transferred with the resource/use of the most advanced colour grading technology and techniques of today... just for the sake of memories preservation shot on film.

You surely have here some Borrego Valley as much more than a local plot. Not necessarily one-sided, confined to a niche ; ) Brazilians have done it pretty well with their 'Nordeste' (Brazilian Northeast) and 'Sertão'. Let alone Amazonia. Masterpieces* of people like Glauber Rocha or Nelson Pereira dos Santos had and still have worldwide audiences and wide-spread recognition beyond the local microcosm represented on screen. Other ones follow. Series Roque Santeiro shot for TV, as for instance, suits a larger time and space than where the story takes place (mid-80s) and some small community to cut across instead the whole country and decades or even centuries of their history. As University/College dissertations can easily prove it (here's an interesting text on topic in Portuguese -- there's a résumé in Spanish though). The most regional, the most universal can happen to be. It's all about language and handling. Loved your wife's work, editing work too (which one of you did it?) to launch from the early beginning not only the main character but the way you have there potential as work in progress to serve the rough cut as far as the character(s) design concerns to be developed later on, targeting the dramatic paradigma to pursue. It's not the Karpman drama triangle but fits the ticket ; ) Moreover, the introductory statement, director's style and theme as the main idea that drives the movie forward. Cinematography and grading (who in charge? only you?) to match the colours of desert and sunlight where hawks cross the sky and distributed a bit or all over the place, fills the cup, so no less : ) Much more can be added to your inquiry, I essentially agree on that already written by the other fellows of these boards I can now read and concur. Wild nature is the bubble where human nature discloses its intrinsic revelation we should all take a look at some point :- ) - EAG [*] PS: How many local story lines there in that breathtaking list...?! ;- )
