Well I did emphasize this screenshot as a test to see what it can allow me to tweak. It was a from-scratch version, and I did mention that flux was left on meaning my screen was much darker and warmer than what’s good for working on that. I almost pulled it off, but just decided to leave it posted there for the heck of it.
Not to mention, I many times use 1080p compressed proxies to speed up the initial broadstroak of a shot regrade. After sufficient work is done, I replace that with the 4K chroma upsampled source and tweak the finer details. This screenshot is actually from the initial proxy.
I will, and I do mean this sincerely, post a clip of said scene with a different grade from the full quality source.
There’s been time spent learning to work with the HEVC codec, though I’ve yet to really test how editing programs handle it in comparison to h264.
