It's not continuous.   Good to know you can get 1920x818, will try that. I don't mind a slightly narrower aspect ratio.

Indeed, you must compare apples to apples.   RX100 is one tool, Pocket camera another. They have different uses entirely.   Image quality overall I feel will be better on the Pocket judging from the sample footage and the specs sheet. RX100 I liked but it is still the usual el cheapo electronica in terms of feel in comparison to film or raw.

  Said it before and I'll say it again - BMD don't take any pre-order money. The dealer does!   And yes sadly I'll be surprised if the 4K model ships in quantity.   I'm very excited about the Pocket.   I've still got my preorder on it open with CVP and today bought a Bolex camera with 3 Xenons on it, so very much looking forward to giving it some tasty c-mount glass.   Julian's thread on the glass is fantastic and I will be featuring it on the front page this week.

Crop mode is covered in my 106 page EOSHD 5D Mark III Raw Shooter's Guide on 5D Mark III raw video here Above - EOSHD "raw rig" above is comprised of the Lanparte BMCC cage with 5D Mark III and LanParte follow focus / carbon matte box from HDVideoShop Slashcam and I set out to test the 5D Mark III's crop mode as precisely as possible using a chart - it is possible thanks to 100% accurate framing in crop mode with the black & white Magic Lantern live-view preview mode. Further optimisations to the buffer handling by Alex at Magic Lantern aims to make higher resolutions such as 2560 x 960 at 98MB/s sustainable for longer or even continuous.

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
