How it feels arguing with comments on YouTube

This is a quick PSA because a few content creators have posted how Rec709 scene can now be used instead of Rec709-A for Mac Gamma 2.4 workflows. Yes, the colors are basically the same and look great! ...Except when you upload to YouTube.

If you care about image quality, then stick with Rec709-A for your web uploads to YouTube (until YouTube improves).

2 Hours of Music? https://youtu.be/l-Zwr2GpX_8

Although I've been doing this for the past 3 years, I want to make it extra clear for anyone new that Clever Ghost Music is completely composed by myself and I have given authority for anyone to use my music for their own content under a Creative Commons NC-BY license. What this means exactly is I will never issue a copyright strike so long as the content you have posted with my music:

1. Non-commercial - Does not generate income nor have commercial purpose.
2. Credit the artist - This can be my name Marko Li, Clever Ghost Music, channel id, anywhere in the video or description.

If you ever wish to make your content commercial, you can go to my website or subscribe to my Patreon for a monetized license. This will clear any content with my music from DMCA copyright that was posted during a subscription, even if you unsubscribe in the future.

Being a creator myself, music had been a pain point in the past due to copyright. When I started composing, I intended my music to help up and coming creators to have access to higher quality music without economic barriers. So that's why I license my music under the Creative Commons NC- BY license, because many of us cannot even afford a music library. But I need to eat so for those fortunate enough to monetize or have projects that generate income or commercial purpose, you can obtain a monetized music license by subscribing to my Patreon as well as download my entire library in higher quality and more.

Feel free to ask any questions, I try to make it as chill as possible. Hope my music can inspire!

People have been asking about the color from my last video so I've developed a cyan/blue/red look for those that wish to apply it to their own footage. This version should be cleaner and more refined than the original video. Feel free to support me by checking out CleverValhalla: www.cleverghost.net/store

Approaching 10,000 subscribers so to give back, I’m starting a series where I share my cinematic approach! I originally planned for this to just be a written list without context or explanation to promote critical thinking, but I thought this format would be more interactive. First part out now!

A few people have requested that I make the color grade for my latest video available for other cameras, so I did! CleverVintera is now available for all cameras that can transform to Arri C3 color space as well as dedicated LUTs for Blackmagic and Sigma FP cameras.

Happy Holidays!

The past year I haven’t been posting as much because I’ve been working hard to create FILMSPICE, a film resource for cinema lovers where you can sort, filter and discover the most cinematic movies. Happy it’s finally launched and I can focus on making more content again. If anyone has any suggestions or requests let me know because I made this for everyone. Enjoy!

I ended up choosing a 1.60:1 aspect ratio for my most recent project, but I also created 2:39:1 and 16:9 alternate versions:
1.60 - https://youtu.be/GLjdK-glJyc
2.39 - https://youtu.be/imRGsI7zVq0
16:9 - vimeo.com/1080442358?share=copy

Which do you prefer?
