If you're talking about superficial visual stuff then no, absolutely not. I would actually prefer it if people spent less time talking about the latest Ubuntu desktop wallpaper or whatever. However I do really appreciate the amount of

Yeah, it seems like I significantly underestimated the amount of ARRIRAW capture going on (see my edit above).

Those cameras also record ProRes though, which I would expect to be used far more commonly. At least outside of $100m+ movies where money is no object. Edit: I had a look at https://www.indiewire.com/2018/05/cannes

Although BRAW isn't really equivalent to CinemaDNG - the former is lossy and the latter isn't.

Is the part you're disagreeing with "there's generally not much advantage over a good lossy codec"? There are definitely times it's not true, but I think I covered myself with "generally". Most footage i

"As I Understand It" Edit: By the way BRAW is a lossy format - not knocking it, it looks like it's probably great for most purposes, but if you really want lossless format like CinemaDNG, BRAW is not that.

Virtually all video capture is lossy, even on multi-million movies, because lossless capture is still fairly impractical in terms of storage, and there's generally not much advantage over a good lossy codec. But I don't think film

It means lossy. I think the actual situation, which the article kind of misstates, is that footage from cinema cameras like RED's is likely to undergo significant grading and postprocessing, which is where compression artifacts are lik

Is there a reason to use ag rather than rg? afair the latter was a lot faster when I tried it (on ubuntu / intel).

It's an excerpt from a feature length documentary called Room 237. Taken as a whole, it's a pretty fun, non-judgmental tour through some colourful interpretations and theories surrounding Kubrick and The Shining. I don't thin

Last I checked, Ardour was fairly easy to install from a git checkout, at least on Linux. Their website advises uses to install the paid binary instead, but in practice it's easier to install from source than Blender IME.

So it seems like you need some proprietary thing called Stata 11 to see the data. I think I'm just going to continue being profoundly sceptical.

No, you'd probably have to rent unless you can get a massive deposit from somewhere.

Live in Zone 3, spend maybe an hour and seven quid a day on the tube? London rents are outrageous, but not so outrageous you can't afford to live there on £50-57k.

Is that the reason? So if your commits aren't getting emailed anywhere, you can ignore this rule (within reason)? I would think only a small minority of git projects have email notifications enabled.

I don't think the film has all that much to do with Frank Sidebottom, beyond the name and the head. It's more a take on more troubled outsider geniuses like Captain Beefheart and Daniel Johnston. As far as I can tell Chris Sieve

Looking at Blender 2.79 right now, a comfortable 90% of icons, buttons etc have tooltips with useful (if terse) text. Some buttons are text instead of icons, but that's also true of Word. I don't doubt Word is more discoverable,
