Low-angle work usually means awkward wrist angles and burning forearms by lunch. The RS5's powered rear handle puts the controls under your fingers and keeps the rig comfortable through long setups. Ships in the combo kit.

Resolve 21 public beta is live on Blackmagic's site. Studio owners upgrade free, and the new Photo Page ships in the free version too. Studio just adds the extra effects on top.

DaVinci Resolve just got a stack of new AI plugins, and this NAB walkthrough shows where each one lives in the panel and what they actually do. We get into how editors can drop them into real cuts, not just demo reels.

Auto multicam switching is already here. The next step: B-roll pulled in based on what's actually being said in the dialogue. Context-driven cuts, handled by the system.

Saturation is a budgeting and financial management platform built for production, covering everything from bidding through accounting. It automates the parts that usually demand an accountant on staff, so producers can run the numbers without leaving the workflow.

Ten years on gimbals and we still use this: run the move a few times, hit the stairs, push the pace, and watch the shake indicator climb. It tells you exactly how much you're adding before the take is unusable. Adjust your speed, not the footage in post.

Griptape runs local or cloud models, your call. It handles API keys for you, or studios can bring their own. Useful if you're trying to map this onto an actual pipeline.

Sat down with Foundry at NAB to talk about where Nuke is headed. AI integration is one piece, but Gaussian Splats are the part worth paying attention to as they move from research demo to actual production pipeline.

Strada Connect points at your existing drive and exposes it like cloud storage. No migration, no re-uploading terabytes before you can collaborate. The pitch is access without the wait.

Resolve's face tracking holds up to three-quarter angles, but full profile strips most of the controls you'd actually want to use. The fix when there's more than one person in frame: Detect Faces lets you assign each node to a specific subject, so dad and daughter get their own reshape passes.
