Dual monitor layout question

For my workflow, I find the available dual-monitor setups that Phoenix provides not really useful. They actually slow my workflow down because the travel distance of the mouse suddenly becomes…

Re: Blank preview screen
@Clyde Simpson On the right hand side of the screen, next to the "Split" drop-drown menu, there's another drop-down. Try to select "Source" there instead of "Event" and see if that helps.

Fix a single-frame brightness drop

I was wondering if some of you wizards have any suggestion how I could address a particular issue I keep running in frequently in my recent project. Every once in a while,…

Re: DVO Reparo
@Gustavo Mendes Yes, that's what I thought. When I will have a case that's really tedious to fix with DVO FIX, I'll definitely try and see how DVO REPARO tackles it by comparison.…

Re: DVO Reparo
@Gustavo Mendes I've been trying DVO REPARO a bit on my current project, and I was full of hope when I started with it. However, I have to say that its usefulness is just not there for me.…

Re: HARDWARE RECOMMENDATIONS
Just a quick note about the GPU again. I've been using this GTX3060 graphics card in my system for the past 2 years and it gets the job done perfectly fine — at a third of the cost of the card you…

Re: HARDWARE RECOMMENDATIONS
From my experience, GPU is entirely irrelevant because Phoenix virtually does not use it at all -a 5% usage was the highest I ever recall seeing it - which is a real bummer because it could speed up…

Re: Use shape warp tracker to stabilize shot
@Craig Rogers DVO FRAME LOCK is, indeed, a strange beast. If it works, it works really well, but half the time it’s either not working at all, or doing weird stuff… and it’s crashing a lot.…

Re: "Base (CC Layer)" vs Master
@Mario Rossi I don’t think there is an official way. You will have to find your own workflow, which will be largely based on your project but also on your hardware’s capabilities/limitations.…

Re: "Base (CC Layer)" vs Master
The best way to think about these three layers you start with as pre-processing, processing and post-processing layers. FX layers are meant to transform your input,…

Re: "elaboration order" with many FX & CC layers
Yes. Layers are evaluated from top to bottom.

Re: Strange highlight flickering
@Silas Dominey If this is still an issue, let me know, and I'd be happy to help out by giving it a shot myself.

Re: Paint out/Remove false positives from DVO Dust
@The Beyonder Alternatively, you can click on the “Select” button in the Matte Paint layer. Now you can see every change you painted on the layer, select it with your mouse,…

Re: A good lossless workflow
@Mario Rossi Yes, that sounds about right. Because the DPX images are completely uncompressed, they are a lot larger, of course, and have a fixed file size.

Importing DPX files of "Filled B" type

I have title overlay files in DPX format that are in a Big Endian, Filled B format. When I import them into Phoenix, they do not display correctly. What's the trick to get these to load properly?

Re: A good lossless workflow
@Mario Rossi If you need a high-end, lossless workflow, DPX image sequences are the best and most efficient way.

Re: Stabilizing 8mm footage
I found that sometimes a 2-step approach gets you the results you want. You could try to manually stabilize it with pan&scan first and then run that result through Framelock or Steady 2.…

Re: Strange highlight flickering
What effects have been applied to the shot? It looks as if something like DVO Dry Clean is wiping out some of the highlights, in which case you will have to go in using "Matte Paint" to bring them…
