What would you do if you could automatically estimate the depth in your footage? Coming soon from #RedGiant!

Buh-bye Dubai.

The orange is not super vibrant. I love orange but I don’t love this. The blue is more Indigo, the kind of you haven’t seen in movies in a decade because colorists nudge it toward teal. The silver is nearly white and has a very pleasing “truth in materials” vibe, especially on the camera mesa.

My favorite iPhone cases are available for pre-order for the 17 Pro models. Detachable grip and easy mounting of a variable ND filter, minimal bulk when de-rigged.

I made a Tape Night promo video for my pal Jeremy’s screening series at @sidewalkfilm.bsky.social . The theme for this one is New York movies, and I was especially happy to get the 1976 Kong remake in there. I leaned heavily on @maxonredgiant.bsky.social ’s awesome VHS plug-in. (CC @prolost.com )

I customized ChatGPT by telling it to be concise. So it adds extra nonsense to its responses telling me how concise and no-nonsense it’s being.

This developer email from Apple kinda just shows off how great iOS 26 would look if it wasn’t glassy.

If you do pick up a Sony RX1R III, save yourself $250 and get this third-party lens hood: Haoge LH-S245N Bayonet Square Metal Lens Hood

If you beg Sony for 10 years to make a camera, you’re kinda obligated to buy it, right?

Hey Siri, please fix all my duplicate group chats. ✨

Sony caught us all out with the surprise announcement of the RX1R III, which updates the 9-year-old full-frame compact with a 61 MP sensor and their latest AF. There's more upgrades but also some cons that could be deal-breakers. Find out more in my quick preview at www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSFN...

Oops Sony just made the camera I’ve been begging them to make bye bye money youtu.be/8-wwnIp7tLs?...

Prolost Beta subscribers are about to get Prolost Handcrank 2, an update to one of my longest-running After Effects presets that creates a realistic simulation of a hand-cranked camera.

I cannot wait to see the VFX breakdowns for F1. Once again VFX Supervisor Ryan Tudhope will be a victim of his own success — the (ample and pervasive) work is so seamless that everyone will think it was all in-camera, just like Top Gun: Maverick. 2immersive4u.com/2025/07/02/t...

Cool to see it spelled out with such clear intention.

BA 605 Pisa to London, waiting for the restroom.

Or just copy/paste one from any Prolost post. I set them with non-breaking half-spaces so they look real purdy.

POV: You’re beta-testing Adobe’s new Indigo camera app in Venice in June.

Everything I always wondered about how Apple constructs immersive environments for Vision Pro is answered in this wonderfully nerdy video. Trigger word: Houdini www.youtube.com/watch?v=RELn...

🚚 Stuff has moved! Now, all your favorite #RedGiant tools are grouped in ways that make more sense. And some have been renamed to help you find them faster!

It’s absolutely the right thing for Apple Vision Pro to support hand controllers, but they need to ship in the box before any game developers will bother to support them.

Still just quietly shooting these keynotes on iPhone.

Woah did Apple just spend most of the macOS time slot talking about power features for true Mac nerds? Shortcuts automations, AI in Shortcuts, and Spotlight taking a shot at Sherlocking Raycast?

I won’t be at WWDC per se but for the first time I will be attending @gruber.foo’s live recording of The Talk Show on Tuesday. If you’re there, say hello!

The devilish detail of this leak is that the feature is Markdown _export,_ but what I hope the nut is Markdown in/out via automations like Shortcuts. Being able to generate/modify a rich note via automation would be super handy. daringfireball.net/linked/2025/...

MAXON is getting into Architecture: www.maxon.net/en/archviz

From “skeuomorphic,” to flat, to… physicality? Great piece by @sdw.bsky.social on where Apple design might be headed. www.lux.camera/physicality-...

Gorgeous site detailing the creative process behind the title cards of The Studio: www.shinestudio.com/project-page...

He did the tulips. My soul can rest.

I sincerely hope you’re watching the final episode of @vfxandchill.bsky.social, streaming now. It’s extremely normal and hinged.

This is incredible, just a year and a half after leaving Apple and launching their company with the cutest web site imaginable, the creators of Shortcuts are demoing an AI assistant that appears actually useful, and deeply integrated into your Mac.

The greatest VFX-based internet show of all time is ending this week. I fashioned this tribute out of my tears. @sethworley.bsky.social @actionmoviedad.bsky.social @thegreatszalam.bsky.social @maxonvfx.bsky.social @maxonredgiant.bsky.social @vfxandchill.bsky.social youtu.be/Xs7vMlWvzes

Clearly I’m easily distracted these days by cameras that promise to prevent me from overthinking. www.dpreview.com/reviews/fuji...

@gruber.foo I’m optimistic about the Slate truck too. Have you played with the configurator? There are options for integrated bluetooth speakers, among a million other fun customizations.

Damn.

Can you guess why the “information” in this post is two clicks away?

This is neat. I somehow got a tour of this monumental building just before Apogee shuttered around 1992. Not much Star Wars stuff lying around, but I do remember racks and racks of replacement animation Pillsbury Doughboy heads. Great to see Dennis feeling the vibes.

This was the view from my desk in ILM’s Rebel Mac Unit, just before we began work on The Phantom Menace. Uhm, 30 years ago. #MayThe4th

Yo new Yedlin just dropped

If I was going to napkin-sketch my ideal photography-focused iPhone design, it would look almost exactly like this.

I need to find a package tracking app that refuses to honor FedEx and UPS’s requests to not scrape their tracking data. Deliveries was my go-to but now it’s useless for most of my shipments.

Great update to a great app!

Prolost Beta subscribers just got a new version of Batch Button Builder, my shortcut for creating button images for Loupedeck, Streamdeck, etc.

The same EXR converted to Rec. 709 four different ways. Which do you prefer and why? (The one that looks most different from the others is the least “accurate” — of course you’re still allowed to prefer it!)

This is so wonderful. Oakland’s own Ryan Coogler gives a lesson on film formats, what they mean to him, why he shot _Sinners_ on 65mm and IMAX, and what options you have to see it in theaters. youtu.be/78Ru62uFM0s

I guess “Congratulations for avoiding LinkedIn for so long” wouldn’t have fit?
