Frequently Asked Questions

What software do you use?
We work exclusively in Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve Studio.
Can you match shots from different cameras?
Yes, we specialize in matching GoPro/Drone footage to Cinema Cameras.
Do I need to send the whole project file?
Ideally, yes. An XML export with source media is the standard workflow.
What is a "Picture Lock"?
It means the editing is 100% finished. Changing edits during grading resets the workflow.
Can you fix bad lighting?
We can significantly improve it, but we cannot create light where there is no information (clipping).
