Adobe have dropped support altogether for Cinema DNG in Premiere Creative Cloud, not that support in the previous version was at all workable. After Effects CC still supports Cinema DNG but it is as slow to playback and render as ever compared to Resolve.   I can't believe they're trying to bury their own format like this, without first replacing it with an alternative. Cinema DNG it at it's peak in terms of camera support.   A good job we have so many good third party converters, codecs like CineForm, as well as native Canon raw plugins for Premiere CS6.   Adobe could have given me a major reason to upgrade to CC but they epic failed.

  If you have a problem like this on the 64GB card it's likely you have a load of Magic Lantern features enabled such as focus peaking, anamorphic squeeze, etc.

  I'm on my third 64GB 1000x komputerbay now and all of them are nothing short of FAST. Very little variation in performance.

Alex T - turn focus peaking off! Disable everything that might hog the CPU like that. Just go with minimal global draw and nothing else like histogram, zebras, etc.

Bathurst - please be sure to read all pages. It says in the book you should set the camera to record to the compact flash card if you are running Magic Lantern off the SD slot and it gives detailed instructions on how to do that (in the Canon menus).   Mclein - please give more detailed bug reports. If you don't mention even which software you're using to play or edit the CineForm clip, how can I understand what might be causing the magenta cast?   If you are using Resolve, you won't have a magenta cast. If you're using Quicktime Player or Premiere, in some cases you will get it. In this case use the Sat. Point Clip setting in GoPro CineForm Studio to fix it.   Cheers

It could be useful with a PointGrey camera module via USB 3.0.   But the production 4K stuff like Blackmagic will need Thunderbolt, Scarlet will need an HD-SDI input, and this doesn't have any HD input at all. HDMI output only.   When will they wise up and do the obvious...   Monitor software + HDMI input!

I can cut footage in Premiere and OSX on a Macbook Air - I still don't see what makes it unique aside from the screen resolution.   Let's wait and see if it has any special uses beyond what is already on the market.

Nice! Keep us up to date on it and good luck :)

You can run Cloud alongside CS6, it doesn't replace it.

Ashton Kutcher   http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yMSsf9szC2o   Have they done the story justice? Hard to tell from the trailer. I'm expecting it to be 'meh' at best.

What are the inputs on it?   USB 3.0 for transferring raw from CF to an external 2.5" HDD on location would be very useful.   HD input would be even more useful = 3.2K field monitor.   However knowing Samsung it probably has neither :)   BTW I think tablets are massively overrated. I only ever used my iPad for games. Macbook Air is about the same size and weight but WAY more useful creatively.

Ginger is still in early stages. I cover it in the book. I am sure Cloud support will come but they have much more to do first.   I tried Cloud yesterday and I see it has absolutely zero Cinema DNG support. They removed it altogether!   Maybe they'll get it right for version 9 :)

  I'd forget the CF to SD transfer and do it via a laptop or netbook on location.   Macbook Air ideal for that.   First you should look to USB 3.0 (2012 Macbook Air or later). USB 2.0 is going to be a 30 minute job. USB 3.0 more like 10 minutes.   Glad you like the book, cheers.

This is all actually a good thing.   It means talent like Lynch will flock to on demand services (Vimeo included) and small cinemas.   The big cinemas need to die a death and be taught a lesson.   People will grow bored of watching shit.   I say good riddance multiplexes and $10 popcorn & coke. Let the uninterested and bored sit at home and watch their pirated DVDs. Real film lovers are about to get the revolution they deserve.

  Good stuff. Can you post some photos of the camera, and be more detailed? I'll really get behind it and support what you do once I see more details.   UPDATE: Just seen the BMCC User post. Looks good. Please put as much detail as possible in your EOSHD posts too and I will start pushing it more on the front page.

Totally mate. Perception of value is warped by consumerism, and also a sense of entitlement has built up around our 'rights' as humans. Pay for education? Pay for health care? No, they're human rights. Nice sentiment but it isn't sustainable. People would sooner pay £500 for a phone than on a doctor or an education. They are happy to splurge endless amounts of cash on shoes, clothes, pizza, beer whenever it suits them. Priorities? Soon society will have to make a choice what kind of world we want to live in. If we don't want to live in a world where the biggest benefactors of capitalism are fashion chains and credit card companies not a thriving, large creative industry, we must change our perception of value. If we keep spending all our money on beer and iPhones, sooner or later you or your descendants will be working in factories. If you spend it on creative content, that industry grows. In that industry people have more fulfilling jobs - illustrators, writers, filmmakers, musicians, artists, journalists, bloggers. The west will be the manufacturing capital of the world when the Chinese society advances to the middle classes. That's my theory. Better get practicing those 12 hour circuit board assembly shifts.

I recommend transcode to CineForm.

No the problem is you card. Resolve needs NVidia CUDA to edit raw.

What's your graphics card spec?   Also if you have any other app open, close it, especially Premiere.

I believe this is a Resolve issue. Looks like you have an older version of 9 Lite. Update to the latest v9.1.4 download on their website.   http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/detail?sid=3948&pid=11735&os=mac

  Focus is crazy unforgiving, fraction off and you have 1080p!

  It deeply concerns me as well. Unfortunately there are people in society who not only expect a constant stream of free stuff, they expect it to be of high quality. The two are not mutually compatible. If you don't put money into the creative industries, you won't get quality back out.   I've even had one guy accuse me of profiteering 'off the back of Magic Lantern'. By that logic, anyone who installs Magic Lantern and uses it in their paid filmmaking is profiteering off the back of free work by the ML community. Total nonsense. A book, like a film, is a work of original content and if some idiot thinks that can all be done for free, they will get the creative industry they deserve in the future - one completely devoid of quality people and quality work. And completely unviable as a career if they ever swap from consumer to content producer, i.e. choose to enter the industry they helped kill.   Some people even think $5 is too expensive for software now, because they are used to free iPhone apps and 99 cent blockbusters like Angry Birds. It's ridiculous and not sustainable for anyone but the already big and powerful.   I'm preparing a blog post which will be published next week, which sets out my opinion very clearly on this new culture of doing everything for free which is oh so wonderful and altruistic… Not… Every time someone works for free in order to get that nice client on their blank CV or to get a leg up with their career, they kill the very industry they want to make a living off.

I'm being attacked by a minority of idiots suggesting I shouldn't be making money from my OWN WORK!!! I won't lose much sleep over this. It's nonsense.   Furthermore, to suggest anything related to Magic Lantern has to be given away is total crap.   Rarevision should give away RawMagic when it goes gold?   GoPro should give away Go Pro CineForm Studio?   What about pros getting paid for 5D Mark III raw footage? Profiteering off the back of ML's achievements? Really!?   I edit ML footage in Resolve - by that logic oh how disgraceful that Blackmagic are allowed to make a profit off the back of ML! If it wasn't for ML I wouldn't be editing 5D Mark III footage in Resolve!   There's no end to the latitude of some people's stupidity. Get real.

  No, actually it just prolongs the nonsense. I've stopped responding and started deleting when something is obvious troublemaking and doesn't contribute to the debate. And Jon, I suggest to stay on topic.   The book is 100% my own research, but I'm part of the community so of course it wouldn't be possible without their achievements and yes I do encourage people to donate in the book, but ML are not accepting donations 24/7, only when required for an engineering goal.
