Is there any progress on V2.7?
Here’s the deal:
I’ve got the latest test render done. I’ll give it a spot check tonight and then start uploading it somewhere. Also, I’m thinking about maybe 2.61 or 2.65 instead of 2.7? Should be Harmy’s call, though.
I would like to have people who have been following the thread give it a check for some final feedback. The previous (2.5, still) release had a good amount of error checking on the final render from other eyes, which 2.6 could have probably used more of. So, I want to make sure it’s right this time because I don’t want to do it again! 😃
While I’ll welcome any and all feedback, I’ll specifically be looking for anything involving actual errors. Encoding problems, something where it seems like a setting gets switched off, etc. I’ll be going through, in the meantime, checking every cut to make sure it’s a real shot junction in the film (and colors aren’t changing mid-shot). That’s another thing to keep an eye on, but I do those passes regularly so there isn’t much worry. Still, there are hundreds of splices.
So if anyone is willing to look at the preview, please leave a post and let me know. I’ll start a group PM with the link and we can discuss what we see there. As I said, all feedback is welcome, but if it ends up being bogged down with minor ‘color wishlists’, I might try to steer it towards actual issues/errors. If there’s something you feel very strongly about, color wise, that hasn’t been said, it’s fine but no promises. Mostly, mention anything that I might have made worse than 2.6. 😃
If there are a lot of changes we come up with, I can do another test render. Otherwise, I’ll encode the final render once I have Harmy’s files, mux it, etc. I’ll let it sit with you guys until enough people have watched it that we think it’s in good enough shape to upload.
Thanks guys.
