LG V30 Cine Video and "log(RAW)" editing - LG V30 Questions & Answers

I have dozens of videos that I shot in log in order to be able to adjust the final result (color grading etc), but I'm having trouble finding decent software that will let me do that.
I have one laptop (i7, 16gb, NVIDIAfx2800) laptop and a server grade desktop with enterprise grade videocard. I tried to edit in Resolve but the software crashes on both machines. I need to add that my PC's are a bit outdated (2015).
Did any of you managed to do something cool with V30 footage?

I experimented a bit in Resolve Studio 14 and it worked fine. I haven't saved any footage, was just checking how it looks before doing some proper edits in the future but it opened the videos just fine. I have a laptop that I bought in November 2015 (i7 4720HQ, 8GB RAM, nVidia 960 2GB DDR5) and it does it's job ok.
Which Resolve do you have? Also, did you install LG Cine Log Package from LG's website into Resolve's color grading presets library? They're bundled together in a download file for Premiere, Resolve, and Baselight.

Resolve won't start on my machines. I gave up after hours of tinkering with video drivers and such...
Is there any other "free" color grading software?

The free ones usually have either very limited color grading options or plaster their damn watermarks all over the edited video or limit exported files to only couple of minutes. So no good ones that I know of.
I think I tried the Filmora Video Editor and Red Giant Colorista Free, but that was a while ago. Other than that, there's Premiere trial verson to get a taste of color grading the V30 videos with LG's Cine Log Package installed. Not sure if the trial version is limited in regards to video editing options but if it isn't, give it a shot and in the meantime try to get Resolve working somehow. So clean install etc., nothing works to get the program running?

Same, still looking
I'm having the same issue, Resolve looks like a challenging program to learn but I'll never get at it if it keeps crashing

I thought it needed some extra attention. I'm wondering if including a "recommended PC installs" (freeware) part of a ROM posting would be appropriate. ????
(If Sprite Backup is included in the ROM, but sets itself apart from other software like it by its PC functionality....) Just an idea.

now this would be a very useful bit of software to turn my phone into an ip webcam if you could see the display when you are in camera mode, but it gives me the camera options round the edge, but just a black screen where the camera picture should be ?
Does it work on anyone else's computer ?

The HP Touchpad - The good, the bad, and the ugly

I thought I'd start a review page for the Touchpad. I got my Touchpad on Tuesday and have spent a good bit of time with it. In general, I see a lot of potential. I am disappointed that it took so long and isn't better than it is.
Now I understand most of the poor reviews that the unit has gotten. Comparing a first generation product with a 2nd or 3rd generation product doesn't is not likely to be very positive. But, most of us thought, between HP and Palm, the unit would be a lot further along. Perhaps HP is too big to be creative and responsive enough for a fast moving market like phones and tablets. However, to be fair, the things the unit does well, it does very well. And, what it doesn't do well, it generally doesn't do at all.
First, the weight. Personally, I like the feel of it. A few ounces either way really doesn't make much difference. It has a good balance and feels solid.
Second, the WebOS. I am new to it, but so far, I am impressed. The multitasking is really well done. The setup on the unit was simple and logically organized. There is a somewhat intuitive feel to the interface, even though if I knew more, it might be even better.
I setup my Exchange client with no problems and it works well. I will try to add some more accounts later for testing.
Now for the items I am disappointed with. I know it sounds like I don't like the unit, but I do, and it is so close. But, unfortunately, close only counts in horseshoes and nuclear war.
First, as far as I can tell, whoever designed this either never used an iPad or Android tablet or didn't use it much. They don't understand the first rule of the smart device market: You have to have some key working software. Okay, there is some, but in general, it is a real disappointment. There will be lots of other things needed, but everyone wants video, music, news, and a way to move data around. A lot of people will want a time manager, too. If you missed that in the design, you missed the key items.
It plays MP3s well, but without Pandora, it doesn't really matter much.
The worst thing so far is that the video player is useless. Most of the videos I see and use are AVIs and they don't work at all. And only about half of the MP4's have worked so far. One of the top priorities needs to be a movie player that isn't useless. Something like VitalPlayer for the Android.
You also need a good news reader. If you have an Android you get News360 or Pulse. Where is the comparable product?
Oh, by the way, it isn't terribly easy to find anything in the Appstore. It doesn't give enough granularity. It is hard to find the diamonds amoung the trash.
The other item that is needed is a file manager. Something like ES File Explorer on the Android. It allows you to move files from the LAN to the Local file structure and to move files inside the unit. I know the idea is that WEBOS handles it. But as far as I can tell, I have to hook up to a PC to move files. There is a paid app in the app store, but it doesn't do enough.
I have used Android up to this point. A year ago, it was pretty bad. But, today it is a great competitor. WEBOS can be there, too, but it can't take very long or there won't be a market. If HP is counting on business users only, they are probably DOA. From what I have seen, other than e-mail, business use takes a back seat to personal applications on tablets.
What do you think?
7-25-2011 It is getting better
Today, I downloaded KalemSoft Media Player and Gemini File Manger. They each fill at least part of the gap in the functionality of the Touchpad. The KamelSoft Media Player has added considerable functionality to the media play including additional codecs for AVI, etc. And, the MP4s that didn't work with the built in player seem to work with it. It is a $6.99 item but, so far, it seems to be a good investment. I had to add an app to my Android 2.2 unit to get the same capabilities, so it is makes sense that I will have to do the same for a first generation WEBOS tablet, I guess.
The Gemini File Manager is a valuable addition, because it has a nice two column, full screen, interface and has networking capablities. Currently it only works with Dropbox. But it is a step in the right direction. I had to download a file manager, ES File Manager, with this functionality for my Android also, but it was free. ES File Manager allows local network connection, which is pretty useful. This is pretty inexpensive at $2.99 though.
Last week, I downloaded SpaZ HD Beta Preview 1 to use as a Twitter client. It is worth a look. I have enjoyed learning how to use it.
I have download several news readers, but so far nothing that is as good as Pulse or News 360. NewsRoom is a start, but it is still in the phone format.
Pandora works, but it is in the phone format. And, that doesn't really matter much to the functionality.
So things are coming along. With a few more apps, it will be almost as good as my Android for my daily use. Android and iPad have a lot of apps, but how many are of any real use?
There are a few things missing. A working RDP app is essential for small businesses. A solid time management package that interfaces with Quickbooks would be useful, also.
Agreed, thanks for that review

Well, I am wrong about at least one thing. There is a Pandora app. It works, but it is a phone app and takes a little getting used to. But, it seems to work well.
I bought Newroom hoping it will be like Pulse. It is also a phone app and will take some work to get used to. But it might do some of what I want until a better app comes along. I also bought TapNote for Touchpad which I think will be a good tool, and Internalz, so I can get to the file structure. It is a phone app, so it will be a little strange until it is upgraded.
I downloaded TED, which is a source for seminars that seem to be pretty diverse. The first one I watched was great. It showed off the video pretty well.
I'm still impressed.
I prefer to buy the Touchpad than iPad. Because Touchpad is a way better than other tablets but is a bit buggy yet, but with time and devs, all can be solved.
Good luck with devs and with OTAs touch pad FAIL and webOS phones are butt ugly with a nice OS

I actually want to buy a touchpad....only if it doesn't become a dead system and gets reasonable support compared to android and iOS from developers
I would have to add that the font rendering is the ugliest since Windows 3.11. Seriously. The UI itself is beautiful, but reading web pages or mails hurts your eyes after a few minutes. The fonts look like they are smudged, like the screen is blurry. It is a huge fail and the biggest downside IMO. Sure, application load times are really bad, and there are no apps. But apps only need to be loaded once, and the number of apps might change. The incredibly distracting font rendering won't go away

Can't wait for Android on this thing
I bought one of the firesale units and starting playing with it. I have some questions:
1) It don't seem to support ad-hoc wireless networks. Is there any software I can add or configuration change I can make to change this? I have a Windows Mobile cell phone that can share its connection over wifi, but its ad-hoc only.
2) I put some pdfs and an m4v and flv video on the device, organized in folders. I go in acrobat reader and it seems to find the pdfs, but just puts them in a single list, rather than showing the file hierarchy. I would like to be able to browse the file hierarchy and touch a file and have it open in an appropriate player or reader. I have a lot of pdfs to put in the device and they need to be organized, not one big list.
3) Acrobat reader and Quick Office seem to be a little slow to load. I am wondering if there is an app that is quick loading that will show a file hierarchy and show or play pdf files and videos, similar to GoodReader for ipad?
4) Is there anything that will play .flv video files? The m4v video showed up in the photo viewer, but not the .flv
Thanks in advance.

Picked mine up Saturday morning and found that article yesterday. By all means do what it says, helps a lot. The more I use my touchpad the more I like it. Great little $100 investment IMO. Really wish there was a Wordfeud or Words with Friends app for it though. Preware should be installed on every WebOS device.

Thanks a lot for this link! I don't even have my touchpad yet but i look forward to being able to poke around with it and get every ounce of performance possible.
Are there any other good resources for WebOS tweaks or mods? Ultimately i'll probably put android on this thing (once the devs do all the hard work) but in the meantime, i'd like to see just how usable the device is as-is.
my gripes:
browser - not as good as Android's. some pages had minor render issues, some menus didn't work right. some flash videos would not play.
browser - only way to go "back" is the back arrow at the top left corner so you have to keep your thumb near it.. awkward to hold. why no left swipe or something?
lists, any - no scroll bars! i added like 100 bookmarks then it's a pain in the ass to get from top to bottom. have to swipe down like 10 times
camera - no app is included to use it other than skype.
video player - videos files are shown as group of big icons, no way to change that to a list view, and the space allocated for the name does not have enough characters
no way to change the icons on the taskbar?
serious lack of good apps that are designed for touchpad .. maybe a dozen that i ended up keeping.
no included rss reader, calc, notes, etc.
i don't believe the Bing navi app has 3D mapping or live rerouting (for use with tether) and i didn't see any in the market.
no voice to text function ?
doesn't support mkv or avi out of the box (same for Android, iOS) .. have to reencode videos from usenet. there is a (1) paid app that can play these apparently, haven't tried it yet
no video out, rear camera, back / search / menu buttons, low-res screen, heavy... but you know that going in.
App Store - no sorting options (ie, #downloads, #reviews)
.....
things i like:
hardware is solid, battery life is impressive, viewing angles excellent, and the GUI looks polished. OS is reasonably responsive and stable (after ota update). basic functions (wifi, web, email, IM, a/v playback) work as expected.
good deal for $100.
I like my 32GB Touchpad so far, I applied the improvements and it does seem better, I have to try the overclock. It's good for the price I paid, but not for it's starting one. I'd still like to see Android on it and I hope there's more development both on webOS and Android for it.
For your news reading needs you could try the Mosaic app, it's similar to Pulse with its own twist.

[Q] What are best ways to record a screencast?

I am hoping to record some video tutorials for a mobile device user group at work (I work at a university) that would be directed toward the faculty and staff. I'd like to record the screen of an Android device as I walk through the different tutorials, but not by video camera. I'm thinking screencast, but not sure what the best software is to use...
I'm more comfortable recording everything on my computer using Camtasia. I have the Android SDK and got the emulator working, but I don't like that I'm limited in terms of apps (some tutorials may go through different apps). No market makes me feel limited.
I also tried AndroidScreencast (the java file that's floating around). That fails to load, I'll have to post the error code(s) later if someone actually wanted to tackle it.
I also tried [email protected] (droidcap) but the image is over exposed/washed out. I even tried saving a png to see if I could correct the image in Photoshop and found the png s mostly transparent, which is what is causing it to look washed out.
Then there's the Screencast app that I'm not sure I want to spend money on yet. So far the demo looks promising and I may end up going this rout instead, but are there any other options I'm missing? I'd actually prefer a root-free option as I may upgrade my phone and choose not to root when that time comes (I don't plan on leaving this job and expect this group to grow).
Is there even a way to just send a video signal out like mhl but directly over usb to a computer? I'm guessing you'd need a specific program to receive it, but I can day dream right?
Screencast is pretty good. It will be worth the money if you are gonna make a few videos. It produces a very nice video. Worth the $4...

Have anyone tried the Crossover app on your Yoga book (Wine)

Crossover is actually a commercial version of Wine with some extras. It's an application that, makes it possible to run Windows programs (.exe files) on other OS. It only works with Chromebook/Android devices with X86 processors
https://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover-android
I have installed it on my Yoga Book and i got Steam and Unreal Tournament 2004 running. I also tried with Unreal Tournament GOTY and Battlefield, but i ran into some problems.
Does Krita work ?
I am thinking about installing Crossover. When I did the basic research I got confused about it running on Chrome vs. Android. Thanks for pointing out it works on the Yoga Book. I have applied and hope to get approved for the beta. I'll report back if and when I do.

I don't know, because i can't run or install exe files. I can only run programs and games installed by the build in installer or steam. I wrote that as a feedback to the developer. Also that we can't use Esc key since it acts as the back button.
what about the windows performance then and the required space?

I havent mesaured the performance. But you can expect it to a lot better than dosbox, since it's not actually an Emulator That is also why your hardware need to have a x86 processor. It's also early to judge the performance, since it's still in Alpha.
It doesn't require a lot of space. I can't see how much space it uses since i have a couple games installed. The app itself were around 70 mb when i installed it.
FTL doesn't start up, sadly

Ok i just figured out, that the exe files must placed on the c drive to be runable. Krita x86 has a critical error when i try to run it. It might be fixed, since the app only is in alpha stage. I tried to run it as windows 7 and windows 10. maybe i need to manually install some aditional programs or modules like directx
Just got a reply from the developer. I should look out for an update with improved application compatibility. Sounds great to me
Crossover is using 416 mb space with nothing installed in it.
Thanks for sharing this info. I signed up and hope to test drive this on my Yoga Book too.
Hope to have some Windows photoshop action on the go.
Could not get Windows Gimp to install. Is there a lean version of photoshop or Lightroom that works with crossover Android yet?
There is a new update out. It should improve on compability, and it has a new interface.
How long did take for the beta invite to come? I would really like to give this a go, and i'm checking my email hourly.
Couple days

What is the procedure to installing crossover on to the yoga book? I'm interested in using it but I'm a little confused on the installation process cay you help/advise please. Si
Installing of crossover is just an install from the play store, once your accepted on the beta test. (It wont appear before.) After that, you then install the windows apps your interested in, from within Crossover. Steam works well if that's what your after. Tried a few games. I could not get any versions of IE to work yet. Not that most people would want to. Otherwise it depends what windows apps you want.
Office does not work, at least the 2016 or 2013 version
Hello
Have anyone had any success in using Crossover? After the last update I can't get steam to run anymore. And I have C&C Red alert running. But it's running in a tiny window and the window goes black when the menu appear. I have been playing around with the resolution setting, but it doesn't help.

Guy from Codeveawers replied
"A lot of the lightweight OpenGLES 3D graphics system that Android uses hasn't been connected into the corresponding OpenGL hooks that Crossover Android is trying to translate yet. So a lot of game titles will display a blank black screen or distorted graphics when run in Crossover Android. We continue to work on this and it should be able to run more games correctly over time."
I can run Finale 2014, Gimp 2.0, Libre Office, Text games editor, Mozilla Firefox, Note pad++.
I have tried games, but only Freeciv works good.

Question Lightroom Free Trial for Expert RAW

I have tried several times to set up the free 60-day trial for Lightroom Premium from my S23Ultra (the only way, it seems, to be able to use Expert RAW) and it will not go through ('Galaxy Store cannot complete purchase' message). The free trial is the only option, as going straight to the £3.79/month option is not clickable. All the credit card details are confirmed as correct, etc. Is the trial no longer working/supported? If not, how else can I use Expert RAW, please, as it doesn't have an export function to the phone's gallery, etc., and LR is the only option presented to use it?
you can use Google Snapseed (it is free) for editing photos on the phone, or just edit them on PC using something like RawTherapee or Darktable (both are free), no need to pay for Adobe products. however you do not need to subscibe to lightroom premium to use it, basic light and color adjustment controls are available for free. and if you are happy with the default heavy pocessing expert raw applies automatically, you do not need to edit photos at all (but that kinda defies the general purpose of shooting raw...)
Unfortunately the RAW files from the phone are DNG format and my computer (Mac Book Pro) doesn't recognise that format. Therefore I have to edit them on the phone somehow and convert them to PNG or JPG before copying them to the MBP. I tried Snapseed earlier and it does work but it's somewhat limited. Better than nothing though. Thanks.
you can use both darktable (https://www.darktable.org/install/) or rawtherapee (https://rawtherapee.com/downloads/) to edit them on mac, both programs are multi-platrofm and support macOS
but as I said, on the phone you can use Snapseed (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed) or do basic editing on lightroom even without premium features and export image as jpeg
I may be misunderstanding, but when you say "(the only way, it seems, to be able to use Expert RAW)", I'd just like to point out that I've been able to use Expert RAW without paying for the Lightroom app. I did install it (to play around), so I'm not sure if it needs to be installed for Expert RAW to work, but paying for it is not a "requirement" to use Expert RAW.
But of course, I did read that you want to modify the images, so if the free is not good enough, it seems @Daekin gave some good examples/options . I just wanted to point out for anyone else that to use Expert RAW the paid version of Lightroom is not required.

I meant that, as far as I could see, the only link to an editing option on the Expert RAW screen is the Lr one. It may be that others can be used but they weren't being presented to me on the Expert RAW screen - at the foot of the screen there are just three option icons - Lr, share and bin. I couldn't even get the free 60-day trial to purchase, even though my credit card details had been verified and accepted, the purchase (actually a free trial) would not go through, with several attempts. Very odd.

Gotcha.
Yeah all I see are those three icons as well. But that is odd that it wouldn't go through to start the trial...I wonder if it is just a temporary bug.
I just saw an article about this.
An issue with a top Galaxy S23 Ultra camera feature has been fixed | Digital Trends
If you tried to subscribe to Adobe Lightroom Premium on your Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, but couldn't, Adobe has fixed the issue. Here's what was going on.
www.digitaltrends.com
well...in the case that Lightroom first run wizard when registering a new account has a bug, just go to adobe website and create a new account there. I have opened lightroom and since I logged in into existing account, the premium subscription was not offered for me as part of signin process, I can click on premium features and then I am greeted with the trial subscription. so to bypass registration, sign in using existing adobe account and do not create one from whithin lightroom app
about that icon..well, it is result of samsung - adobe partnership, which promotes lightroom as default editing app. however you can use any other app without problems, just it will be 2 clicks instead of one to open a taken photo there
