Well @andymilkis I told you it’d be successful. We got our first and last listener! ha!
LOL! I’m off to check on that icon. There should be cover art!
Maybe check restart stone and wire on that Podcast @andymilkis . Or check the framestore permissions.
I’m running podcast -p as sudo
Aight that sounds good if that doesn’t work check that it’s rgb not cmyk.
So regarding the Anamorphic workflow. I mostly keep it as is and use ‘view ratio’. But what would be the best way to give to a client if they ask for a TIFF in the highest resolution? Would you do width x 2, or height /2. I also noticed some funky stuff when trying to planar track anamorphic footage in the past. So that was another reason to flatten it out.
For that specific request i would double the x.
That said, I’m gonna use Topaz to upscale anything beyond 2k, so I’d go against my own advice for any shot that required comp work. Haha.
