Were you there when BM produced the macOS compatible eGPU units in collaboration with Apple?
Yep, I don't remember a whole lot about them though. (Actually, anyone else from BMD here? Was that the product that the Industrial Designers won second place in the design awards for, losing out to the accessible playground?)

is davinci fusion not an after effects alternative? or is it not at the same level?
In my experience, it's not easy as After Effects. Though for simple VFX, motion or animation is doable. For me best alternative to AE is Blender.

There is even Darktable fork Ansel where they try to roll back lot of these ux mishaps. Once you care only about editing and not cataloging then RawTherapee ends up being better editor for mr.
> There is even Darktable fork Ansel where they try to roll back lot of these ux mishaps. AFAIK, the reasons Ansel exists are: 1. To yank out darktable internals for code purity reasons. 2. Its (talented) developer worked better by himself than in group. He was vehemently opposed to any idea containing the words "intuitive" or "UX".

Fundamental misunderstanding of the market dynamics here. There are at least an order of magnitude more people making a professional salary as photographers (ie.: enough to justify a software purchase) than professional videographers. Outside of film, videographers are generally paid a day rate about half as high as photographers, with enormously higher equipment costs. Film - hollywood, streaming, TV etc, combined a…
As a semi-pro photographer I look at the $295 pricing and think that is a very reasonable price for something that could help my photos look like my photos . I bought DxO PhotoLab for $235 and color grade with it all the time. Right now I use LUTs that other people made and have been thinking I’d like to learn to be more systematic and make my own. I don’t really do video but I have in the past so a video editor comi…

The short of it is that there’s no money in photography, compared to videography. Movies routinely have 8 or 9 digit budgets, with teams of hundreds of people who have to collaborate to make footage coming from dozens of different cameras look seamless and consistent. Meanwhile, $1M would be an insane budget for a photo shoot. You can see this in the actual skills of people working in the field as well. Anyone workin…

Re: DaVinci Resolve – Photo
#277This is incredible. There are soooo many features that Davinci already handles so damn well when it comes to color editing, that I only wish they existed in photo editors. To the point there were people posting videos on Youtube about hacky workflows to edit RAW photo files on Resolve and export each one as JPG files haha. Only Darktable seemed to push the technical capabilities of photo editing forward (AgX, paramet…

#278How do they actual make money? I've been using Resolve for years without paying for it (and without thinking about its business model too much). It seems that they sell quite expensive professional hardware so I assume the software users are just compensated by hardware users?
Re: DaVinci Resolve – Photo
#279Looks more useful than the Cut page. Meanwhile, I wish BMD would take a step back and do the housecleaning that Resolve so desperately needs. They threw a bunch of purchased products together on different pages and called it "integrated," when in fact the integration is buggy and janky. The #1 thing they need to do is integrate all the nodeviews. A single nodeview for all processing would make Resolve a truly groundb…
Amigo! If you're not a professional video editor but you have to, occasionally, make long videos shorter or just remove awkward silences, etc., the cut page is a godsend. You grab the knife tool, bim, bam, boom, you're done.

> It helps you build and run Resolve in a Docker or Podman container Why though? I run it perfectly fine on Arch as-is, what problem does containers solve here? Install it to different paths and you have different versions working too.
How are you installing Resolve in Arch? I have not actually tried installing directly (in Arch at least). What problems are you having in the Fusion page too?
