LSTR is out. A cinematic colour grading plugin for DaVinci Resolve, built around per-camera mappings rather than log profiles.... no subscription ever.
👀 Looks like we're getting Gen 6 Colour Science from Blackmagic!
Not much info out yet, but this has just shown up on the URSA Cine page on the Blackmagic website.
From what I can see so far, it's promising some big imaging improvements, more accurate colour reproduction, better skin tones, and a redesigned processing pipeline using 3D LUTs for film, extended video, and video gamuts.
Will dig into this more and let you know what I find Anyone else spotted this?
I've been working on something for nearly a year, and I've finally locked in... LSTR launches April 21st, but not for everyone. For the first 7 days, only people on the waitlist get access. Early bird pricing included... If you want in on day one, the waitlist link is below 👇
Been working on something behind the scenes for a while now, A camera-profiled OFX colour grading plugin for DaVinci Resolve....
— GPU Accelerated — Apple Silicon Native — macOS & Windows — Perpetual Licence — Lifetime updates & future camera profiles — Priced for working solo creators, not studio budgets
Check out the full camera list and get on the waitlist (you'll get a discount on launch day):
In my recent video comparing the Lumix microphone to the Comica VM40, I mentioned that the VM40 had a noticeably high noise floor. I wanted to follow up on that because the story has a great ending...
Shortly after the video went live, an engineer from Comica reached out to let me know that the noise floor issue was actually a glitch that occurs when recording into certain cameras — mine being one of them.
It's not present in the internal recording, and it wasn't a fault with the mic itself. Even better, they sent me a firmware update that fixes the problem entirely.
I've installed it and tested it, and I can confirm that the issue is completely gone.
So I wanted to set the record straight and give Comica the credit they deserve. It's genuinely rare to see a company actively monitor feedback, reach out directly, and actually fix the problem.
That kind of after-sales support says a lot about them, and it only makes the VM40 an even better recommendation . If you own one, definitely look into the firmware update!
So many of you commented saying you loved the product but it was a bit out of budget, and I completely forgot to mention in the video that Unify Drive also make a cheaper alternative called the UnifyDrive UT2.
It has a few less features but comes in at a much lower price point, and right now it has a massive discount on it so the timing couldn't be better!
