IN THEIR OWN WORDS

From the transcript.

Machine-transcribed, so it may contain errors. Every timestamp opens the episode at that second.

44:59Of course, we haven't had a chance to look at this on the panel here because we've been stuck here. I took a brief look at it during the interim there. You know, one thing that they did announce is Adobe had a lot of announcements for Premiere. And one thing, one feature that they highlighted in the article here was the ability using AI to separate overlapping dialogue.

45:24And this has been a bugaboo of production for years. Actors hate the fact that they have to keep their dialogue separate when you're shooting a close-up of one actor and you have a heated argument going on. The other actor has to make sure that they don't step on the lines of the actor that's on camera with their off-camera dialogue because it contaminates the on-camera dialogue.

45:44So now using AI and with this tool that's built into Premiere, you can use AI to separate the off-camera dialogue and clean up the on-camera dialogue so that the actors can now overlap, which is what they love to do because it gives them the feeling and the spontaneity of the scene. where they're supposed to be having a heated argument, and it drives them nuts when they have to separate their dialogue

46:09and deal with overlaps. Or things like when the director goes, and action, and the actor jumps the action cue and overlaps the director's action call. So the sound editors have to go in and try and cut that opening line, and they hear the overlap, hear the ch-t of the director's calling action overlapping. So you can now clean up that kind of stuff.

46:32Also, Blackmagic Design introduced Resolve 21.1, and I haven't had a chance to look at that. I don't know if any of you have downloaded the latest version. It was announced just before the opening of IBC, so it's brand new, with a whole bunch of improvements there. So I haven't had a chance to take a look at that. But that's something that I want to take a look at, and Sony has introduced the Nikon new RED combo camera, cinema cameras.

47:00So they've got some new products there to take a look at. When I get a chance, I'm going to take a look. Guy? Yeah, and there's a lot of stuff missing on here. I know Jonas is there showing some of his CloudFlex stuff. And on LinkedIn, he had put up something about MXL. And I'm super interested in MXL and DMF right now.

47:19I think they're going to be showing ZoomISO Cloud because they showed it in the Grass Valley booth. I walked by the booth at NAB. See, badge, remember? I feel like I'm at the trade show. The laptop, I think it was Andy's laptop, was sitting there in the Grass Valley booth running Zoom ISO cloud. So I'm interested in seeing how this MXF format allows video to come into a system and then get shared around.

47:44And in Jonas' LinkedIn post, he says that he has this demo where he's going to be tossing around MXF at the show. And I know they did that at NAB. So if you haven't done any research on MXF, start looking at it. I think it's the future of broadcast. So get interested in it. It is a lot of fun once you get some of the knowledge and figure out what it can do.

48:06Also, hey, Jonas, we love Spacecoms. Check out Spacecoms at IBC. Thanks, Dave Trautman, for the nod on that. Premiere looks like Adobe's got a new color mode in Premiere that it would be interesting to see. They're saying it's color grading reinvented for video editors. I would be really curious to sit in on a technical demo of that and see somebody who actually has a couple of reps in,

48:28go ahead and grade something. And then I think the other one that would be cool to see is the Sony booth is always massive at these shows, and they have some cool stuff to kind of... You mean the Sony wing. The Sony, exactly. Welcome to the Sony wing. It's nice to be able to actually get your hands on cameras and talk to people.

48:46I remember when there was one camera that we thought would be a really cool alternative to an FX3 as a webcam. And then we found out that they were just trying to build a very small camera to shoot miniatures and things like that. And they're like, yeah, this would get so hot, it would not be good to be on for hours and hours a day.

49:06So those are sorts of questions that you can ask people in person at a show that aren't going to make it to a press release. It's nice to actually talk to someone who has a little bit of engineering know-how, but I'd be curious to see the FX5. And they also have some new monitors. I think it was called the DP5 and the DP7.
