FMX is done, which means the industry has completed its annual Stuttgart ritual of panels, hallway archaeology, and explaining production problems over coffee. Back at the desk, the news pile is not exactly modest: Boris FX updates Continuum, Blender drops Singularity in 4K HDR, Artineering Flair reaches macOS, ZEISS brings lens behaviour into Nuke, and VES tries to make on-set data slightly less tragic.

Exclusive for our subscribers
The subscriber pieces go deeper into the parts that do not fit into a quick release note: RISE explains how Fallout rebuilt and destroyed Los Angeles with procedural restraint, Datacolor talks about where colour management still falls apart, and our Resolve series continues with sharing, packaging, subtitles, and delivery. In other words: the bits that decide whether a project leaves the building or starts haunting the storage.
The good stuff is behind the button. And you can alway just test the subscription!

That's it, folks!
That's it for this round - If you have news, breakdowns, weird workflows, or field notes from the trenches, send them over. Bonus points if the screenshots contain actual UI and not just someone smiling at a monitor.
Greetings, Bela and the Floof
