@mariuseder2 I am 99% sure it's a software problem related to Blackmagic. There are multiple services which have to boot and work. I never figured out what was going wrong, but resetting windows worked for me. It was a giant waste of time though :(

My Blackmagic decklink card suddenly stopped working.

Has anyone encountered this? I called Blackmagic but they said it was nothing they could do.

[Jake G. Water 🎬 @JakeGWater]

@matti_vilho I have, sort of. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to put together anything soon. (other life duties)

I tried a bunch of stuff, but one WEIRD thing was putting Unreal Engine into the background. Like just launch notepad and give it focus.

@Namecheap updates to your DNS/NS are not working at the moment.

I absolutely love how real-world filmmaking techniques are being used within a CG world to create the city background.

@SohrabHosseini2 I was thinking about that. What have you experienced?

Wow this seems amazing but likely going to cost $30k

@YaoDaDi6666 Can you show me a short video?

[Jake G. Water 🎬 @JakeGWater]

Created a Scope Widget in Unreal that can record from various probes in your scene, including tracking object positions and livelink frame data.

I talk about the theory of fixing brightness and contrast to make your real and virtual sets blend together.

@YaoDaDi6666 I'm working on a guide/video for this right now, but here's my checklist so far:

Working on some next-level motion tracking!

These comments are truly wonderful

[Jake G. Water 🎬 @JakeGWater]

I had a a lot of fun with this one. Lighting makes such a huge difference to the realism of a composited scene.

I go over fixing brightness and contrast issues.
