Canon C200 and Panasonic rival camera to fight it out at CineGear Expo
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
An FS5 with Dual Pixel AF and Canon colour = C200 though Sort of (doubtful it will have 4K RAW output and high frame rates) -
If you recently downloaded Handbrake Video Encoder, you should check your Mac immediately for viruses and malware. Read the full article

New EOSHD front-page template, faster loading and full width articles
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Ah OK I am disabling the modifications until that can be fixed. Full width text for now guys! I have however made the typeface bigger and clearer to compensate. -

As per JB's suggestion and others.... Text now appears in a column on the full width pages. Easier for your eyes to scan a less wide area. -

Time to dump Adobe. First impressions of Resolve 14 and EditReady 2.0
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
They say you should use the Pro version for 4K editing. Unfortunately my dongle isn't on me at the moment so can't test where I am! -

Are you using Resolve 14 Studio or the free version? -

EOSHD is not an odd case, nearly all the major sites are named after cameras: DVXUser - Panasonic DVX100 Cinema5D - Canon 5D Mark II REDUser - RED This isn't really how it works with most people, as they come from a Google search and click the article because it's relevant to them - i.e. Sony or Panasonic posts. So it is immediately apparent both the blog and forum cover non-Canon gear. Times change and Canon might bounce back and start dominating. So changing to align with current Sony/Panasonic trends may be a waste of time as brands have to live forever. Reidvision wouldn't be so bad but it says nothing about 'cameras' I like short and snappy! Thanks for the feedback though I do see where you're coming from Most important thing for me is the site works well, looks clean, no shitty advertising, thriving community forum, great content, strong personal opinions, not in bed with PR industry. -
In the industry, the definition is a lot lighter and more well defined than it is for enthusiasts. They think in terms of A and B cameras. Pros would consider Super 35mm as the norm and it'd support cinema lenses via PL mount - a stable, locking mount. XLR audio with phantom power and it would slot into an existing, well defined workflow from acquisition and monitoring right through to editing. MJPEG isn't very well suited to post because it isn't hardware accelerated like RED RAW or ProRes. Playback is choppy. Great image quality though. For enthusiasts and prosumers the definition of cinema camera would be more along the lines of a GH5 or Sony FS5. It gets looser the lower in price you go. At the higher-end: Full frame preferred over 2x crop. Super 35mm acceptable but not as 'cinematic' as full frame - the irony huh! Codec would be low compression for maximum image quality - H.264 at 100bit+ as the minimum standard Editing performance a big consideration for 4K, with ProRes LT being ideal for fluid playback and to save on card space RAW is a great feature and under exploited on the market (only Blackmagic and Magic Lantern for affordable cameras) Stabilisation is important In terms of 'cinema' of course 24p and manual controls are the bedrock of the rest. If it hasn't got those, it's a camcorder for home movies, nothing more.

You guys don't seem to understand branding. You can't just throw something away you've spent the last 6 years building and people trust the name. I happen to like "EOSHD" as being a camera and video associated acronym you immediately know what the website is about and everybody has heard of "EOS" in relation to cameras. If you want to read your own meaning into it you can, it can stand for Electro Optical Super High Definition. If I'd taken advice from a couple of people it would be LumixHD by now... Meh Cinema4K would be too generic and AndrewReid dot com is taken by someone else so I am sticking to my guns!! -

There's no point it would just destroy the recognition and search ranking. I am happy with good old EOSHD -

Thanks Don! Will consider requests like this, it's possible with the widgets. -
I have upgraded the EOSHD front-end with a new theme It should be much snappier than the old one in terms of load times It now has 2 columns and a wider responsive layout (check it out - http://www.eoshd.com) Blog posts will be full width with HUGE images and video content (example - http://www.eoshd.com/2016/11/now-available-eoshd-pro-color-for-sony-cameras-including-a7s-ii-a7r-ii-and-a6300/) Hope you like it and let me know your feedback / bug reports below...

Try setting the timeline monitor to quarter-res in Premiere Also a single hard disk drive isn't optimal for 4K video editing, I'd look seriously at a RAID or SSD setup Consider moving to Resolve 14 Studio Edition as it has far better performance from the core rendering engine than Adobe is able to give you
-
Meanwhile Resolve gets Fairlight Audio. I think I'll let Adobe's new team rock back and forth in the corner for a few years while they figure out how to add Titles to the Menus.

Interesting they put a full frame lens like the 24-35mm on there, what are they trying to say? If it were Super 35mm they'd put the 18-35mm on it, surely.

NAB 2017 so far has been a curious one. The biggest announcement has been a stills camera. The A9 however may give us some clues as to what to expect with the new video-monster. Read the full article

How does Premiere handle 10bit FS7 footage? Same crap?
