@NickLambert well, not sure if it is (only) the noise. keyers only seem to pick a very narrow band when keying Alexa ProRes4444 footage.
crap. I did not just reply to myself on Twitter. #facepalm #noobmistake
@NickLambert @digitobe @alexlehnert @alexk @hummelstrand cheers! do you have any insight into keying Alexa footage btw.?
@freshdv no worries
Found out that one of the bosses here at space digital was in a band in the 80’s touring Europe. There are even clips on YouTube. Hilarious!

@fxphd god. I tell you, it was hard…
@cmivfx unfortunately, I am unable to log into the site. sending the password reminder also doesn’t work.
@rendernyc @hummelstrand @alexlehnert @fxphd though I’d argue that it’s kind of wanted behavior on regular shots. pronounced film-like noise
@hummelstrand @rendernyc @alexlehnert @fxphd less blocky, more grainy I’d say, but yes. not a fun combination.
@flappg it’s been nice meeting you in person. I need to come over to see your shiny new hardware as well some day.
@flappg sure come on up. blue tower, across Costa’s. 17th floor. you’ll have to sign in.
@flappg you know any of the guys? if not, I’ll quickly ask if you can come in. otherwise, I’ll come down to Costas for a coffee.
@iheartroto it is mostly just that the Alexa behaves so much worse for keying then say Red or film stock, that it is just baffling.
@iheartroto sure. but it is nice to know what works best when you have the option of influencing on set decisions.
@freshdv thanks for passing it on. I’m not a editor though. But that’s nitpicking. :)
@NickLambert @alexlehnert @cmivfx was intrigued by it as well. have former Linux experience though. Do you? still worth it?
@digitobe sag trotzdem mal bescheid. is nix akutes bei mir. versuche nur fuers naechste mal vorbereitet zu sein. :)
@digitobe yep. schon gelesen. hilft aber auch nicht weiter. zumindest nicht fuers keying
@digitobe was heisst denn hier Alex Problem? Bin ich jetzt etwa schuld oder wie?! :-P
@genoden great! still happily working away at space. you should come by at have a look at the new office. maybe have lunch or dinner.
@hummelstrand @ivarrystad @NEO_AMiGA though I’ve had ProRes4444 material before it was never a problem like the ProRes from an Alexa
@hummelstrand @ivarrystad @NEO_AMiGA …not quite true. I had a few +1EV’s as well. same problem. wondering if the ProRes4444 screws it up…
@hummelstrand @ivarrystad @NEO_AMiGA in my case it was always lacking exposure. when it didn’t they changed screen colour mid shot #facepalm
@NEO_AMiGA sure. will report back when I found out something useful.
