Big Iron Big Bucks! Yes you feel more comfortable buying hardware dependent systems, but sytems like Scratch are GPU based and run on a fairly cheap PC. So you can make a lot of money off of it and you dont have to be married to expensive hardware. It does 2K at real time! The studios are all buying it and Jeff is doing a 3D DI on it now. There are a lot of major post houses using it, why? Becuase it is good and it's not expensive! I love the Baselight, its a great color corrector and your a foward thinking guy and I am sure you will kick ass on it. The lustre can work in a commercial world as well, yes it doesn't control a telecine, but as you know I made it work, too bad my telecine was subpar or it would have been a successful operation. The guys from the Nova scanner have created the box that allowed me to use Lustre to control a Spirit or a Cintel, so it can work in a commercial world, for some reason you didn't make it work! Maybe you had pulldown issues, I am not sure, but I disagree with your statement that it is a plagued system, rather it didn't work for me would be a kinder thing to say!



Off the shelf systems and software only based vendors like Assimilates Scratch are a safe way to go for the dollar conscience house and they have comparable functions (ie. Unlimited power widows, tracking, keyers, compositing, edit, deck control, ect.), and for a third of the price! Yes I am biased because I use to work for them, and thats the reason I chimed in! I would fall to the ground if I heard you say it was a "Plagued System" 



I know and have worked on Davinci 2K, 888, Lustre, Scratch, and even Apples color aka SC, and if didn't like a system I would say it didn't work for me on a private/ somewhat public forum like this one because there are a lot of people married to their systems and when a client hears that so and so's system sucks for color grading spots.. then you could be jeopardizing someones lively hood! 

Just my 2 cents!



Peace Brother!

Thanks to Gary Coates for supporting the TIG.

Craig,Most of what i said was speaking in general terms just talking trends

and progress.



I trained a day on Silicon color, and while Lustre like in features, better

for editor/colorist unsupervised situations in general.

And it wasn't SC I was refering to more Scratch, Iridas, Resolve, Nucoda,

Lustre, Baselight being in many Color facilities worldwide in just 4 years.



There is some guys doing TV show work in town on SC.

Few

For me I knew it would be trouble to put real job with real client on SC.

import, export, stability issues.



Just heared stories.

Believe me big Iron is best and will always be around.

But now there are options.

My daughters University has a Spirit 4k and 2 Scratches.



But I too love Big Iron!



best,
