    Anyone else having problems playing this? I wonder if its just heavily trafficked, or is it just me?

    I have contacted Vimeo about this issue (apparently this happens to alot of people due to the way the video gets converted after it's uploaded) Stay tuned for an update.

    Much easier to do in looks. Punch in the looks and tweak. Great tutorial.

    hm I dont want to comment tutorial which is by the way great... but I would like to point out one big "first" step, that is original footage! white balance, format... so I would like to ask how to save damaged-bad footage (whitebalance, too dark or too bright...)... what can be done with magic looks.
    I know there are other software-tips for resolve this problems...and i know that u can change white balance and etc but that is downside of the end result...
    So the question is; how far can we go with magic bullet?
    btw great tutorial and plugins :-)

    I'd like some suggestions on creating a Harry Potter look ... perhaps, someone has already done this ... I seem to remember some comments on such at one time.

    Thanks for the instructional clip on creating a blockbuster look. Very helpful and insightful.

    This is completely wrong and its not how it was done in these movies, you need CMYK for this and many apps doesnt support it.

    That person was off base, cmyk is only used files being separated for a printing press, not video or film color

    really good. Didnt really agree on the WTWA film look, since that's heavily dependent on each scene, and actually doesnt do a whole lotta green.

    it was the first time though to realise that green ís used alot in film for the shadows, and absolutly loved the colorscheme theory. And awesome to see some workflow, could use it right away!
