    ntblowz reacted to gt3rs in Canon RAW and h265 10bit Resolve performance   
    I did manage setting the playback to proxy quarter res to render 8K timeline to 8k final output using full res RAW with minimal grades but is really not stable enough to work on 8k timeline with 8 GB VRAM. Puget recommend > 20 GB GPU RAM for 8k timeline in Resolve.

    8K RAW on 4k or 5.5k timeline works quite well..

    Yeah, he's done really well there persuading London to switch on its Christmas lights for him to shoot that test.

    ntblowz reacted to BTM_Pix in Ryan Avery On Meike And Veydra   
    Well, it was hardly the biggest mystery in the world but confirmation at least that the Meike lenses are the genuine successors to the Veydras and good to see the co-founder being involved and discussing how they have actually been improved rather than being the low quality rip offs that many were widely opining they were.
    The real mystery this video solves for me though is how you actually pronounce Meike.

    Our avid action choreographer and director @hmcindie has done several high paced pieces. Many of them were some of my favorite posts for showing off a variety of cameras. Now one with the original Canon EOS R, testing its capabilities and showcasing the skills of the filmmakers. Awesome indie stuff. Interesting enough that this footage looks more compelling than Canons official footage for their new R5 and R6. This is a rolling shutter test par exellence. And great proof of handheld skills. No overheating camera, just heat of the action!

    8k handheld samples from the same person that posted the woman on the beach at 120fps.
    I'm curious - to the people that say the footage looks bad - what are you shooting with? IMO motion and color are fabulous with lots of detail. I've gotten so used to Sony's motion from shooting it the last few years, seeing Canon's just looks so much better IMO - I hate to say it because its subjective bullshit (like calling something organic), but it looks "more filmic" haha. All of the daylight clips are really clean and the flame shot at 6400 doesn't look super noisy either. 
    Cheers

    Had a play at local camera store where they have R5/R6 to play
    The guy said R5 is the final production while their R6 is still pre-production one
    My u3 card last 4 seconds on 8kIBP, on 4k50p ibp it is fine , guess u really need UHS-II for All-I or 8K IBP.
    Auto focus is really good, can detect person's eye against the light (window) even though the person is really dark on the camera
    IBIS on the 85 DS is much more smoother than the A7R4 we had with us. 
    I can definitely fake a few gimbal/slider shot with the R5/R6 vs with my R. 
    R6 with the 24-105 7.1 focus quite fast inside the shop at 7.1 aperture.
    And after playing with 28-70 i m never gonna get this lens at all, it is just too heavy and big. The 70-200 2.8 RF is surprisingly light on the other hand.

    RED had a similar reputation not all that long ago. It takes a big innovative splash to make people change ships...once they do you have a chance to shake up the market. I think this camera will make enough RED users jump ship and then it all comes down to this specific camera and how good/reliable it is. There’s no reason to think this camera isn’t how Blackmagic enters that conversation. None at all.

    ntblowz reacted to BTM_Pix in AF Adapter Development Thread - Sneakest of Sneak Peeks   
    Well, the current Ursa Mini Pro can already be driven by the PBC so this one will be no different as it also has BLE with the same protocol.
    Which means that as a consequence the two AF system add ons will also be able to work with it, with the PBC controlling all the other functions such as ISO/WB etc remotely too if required.
    If people use the EF mount, then the focus can be driven electronically but PL mount would obviously require motors.

    ntblowz reacted to gt3rs in Canon RAW and h265 10bit Resolve performance   
    As there are so many threads on R5,R6 and 1Dx III I thought is better to have a dedicated thread for editing perf.
    Machine used for the test is a gaming notebook i9 10980HK, 2070 Super Max 8GB Vram, tested with files coming from internal M2 SSD and directly from the CFexpress card (no difference in the result).
    Resolve 16.2.4, NVidia Studio driver. 
    Very simple grade, 1 node for LUT, 1 node for LGG, 1 node for color boost, saturation and mid tone detail.
    RAW: 
    5.5k RAW 30 -> 5.5k 30 timeline realtime
    5.5k RAW 60 -> 5.5k 30 timeline realtime
    5.5k RAW 60 -> 5.5k 60 timeline 30-35 fps
    5.5k RAW 60 -> 5.5k 60 timeline realtime (half res RAW processing)
    8k RAW 24 -> 5.5k 24 timeline realtime (half res RAW processing)
    8k RAW 24 -> 4k 24 timeline realtime (half res RAW processing)
    8k RAW 24 -> 4k 24 timeline 15 fps
    8k RAW 24 -> 8k 24 timeline 15 fps but not usable as you get gpu out of memory
    h265 10bit:
    4k 120 all-i -> 4k 30 timeline no realtime
    4k 60 all-i -> 4k 30 timeline no realtime
    4k 60 ipb -> 4k 30 timeline no realtime
    4k 30 all-i -> 4k 30 timeline no realtime
    4k 30 ipb -> 4k 30 timeline realtime
    Observations:
    - RAW is much easier in perf than h265 10bit, afiak no HW acceleration is currently supporting h265 10bit 4:2:2 only 4:2:0 or 4:4:4
    - Thanks that you can set half res RAW (you can even set quarter res) on the decoding setting you can work in real time and then switch to full res for final rendering.
    - Very strange that ipb can playback in realtime and all-i not, it could be a Resolve issue
    - You need to disable Intel Quick Sync in Resolve preferences if not you cannot view h265 files, this seems a bug as they could detect that is not compatible with quick sync.
    - 8k timeline with 8GB Vram is just not possible in Resolve. So even frame grabbing becomes an issue. 6k timeline works for frame grabbing. Did not test the limit here. 
    - It is a very powerful notebook but no where near a powerful workstation... is a tad slower than a i7 9900k 1070 machine.
    Hopefully both Resolve and CPU/GPU vendor will better support h265 10bit 4:2:2.
    Bottom-line what you save in storage in not using RAW you will spend in time converting the footage.
    Would be cool that other reports their experience in this thread and also with other NLEs.
