Quarterly Lab Update

Welcome back everyone! Hopefully your summer was enjoyable. Over the break, the lab computers were updated to the latest OS X and new versions of Adobe CC and Media Composer were installed. Furthermore, the Screening and Edit Suite is now a full color grade station and there is a brand new pre-production station, complete with Scheduling, Budgeting, and Final Draft, in 018 that students can reserve.

Outdoor Movie Guide

Looking for something fun to do this summer? Grab your blanket, folding chairs, and cooler, and see an outdoor movie! Visit Philadelphia just published their outdoor movie guide. You can find it here.

Blackmagic RAW 1.5.2

Blackmagic RAW 1.5.2 was installed on all CINETV lab computers. This means that .braw footage can now be edited directly in Adobe Premiere! As a reminder, you are still encouraged to create proxies depending on your camera settings.

MM Budgeting & Scheduling

Movie Magic Budgeting and Scheduling are now available in the Advanced Post House for all CINETV students to use. Please note that you need to navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/administrator/MMData/MMBudgeting OR MMScheduling/Templates at launch in order to access template folders.

Quarterly Lab Updates

Welcome back! Hopefully your break was safe and enjoyable. The only update over break was upgrading from DaVinci Resolve 16 to DaVinci Resolve 17. As a reminder, all lab computers have the regular version of Resolve except for the Color Grading labs, which have the Studio version. DaVinci Resolve is backwards compatible, so you shouldn’t have any issues updating your projects.

Disclosure Special Screening

The Department of Cinema & Television is proud to present a discussion with Producer Amy Scholder about the making of Disclosure, a Netflix documentary featuring Laverne Cox which explores how Hollywood’s stories have influenced how Americans feel about transgender people, and how trans people are taught to feel about themselves. The discussion will take place on Wednesday, October 14th at 6:30 pm and will be moderated by FMTV Professor Ben Kalina. Participants must register at the link below and can pre-submit questions in the Questions and Comments section of the registration form. This event is open to the entire Drexel community.
