there is Resolve 12 Configuration Guide, they say both OpenCL and CUDA are supported natively,

though it doesn't help in choosing over a better OpenCL performing card or a better CUDA one.

Version 12 is out, and it is painfully slow (for me), even with no editing, does not support AVI container (Pentax K-5), etc etc. Still it's great to try grading there, though i'd like to speed it up a bit. What kind of GPU acceleration does it use? CUDA or OpenCL? What impact does it make in grading?

8,9-89? Could it be 1/1,7''? )

Maybe it's the best way for Clarkson to end this show, go undefeated and do something new. He could even crowdsource something.

IFFMPEG developers made a Windows version: www.myffmpeg.com

Yup, tease a few photos, don't post any actual useful information.
I guess for now it's just a teaser:

Isnt it best to give the camera/codec the whole range to work with and raise the blacks in post?
It depends highly on codec settings. For example, there is a "psychovisual enhancement" technique which generally applies less bitrate to blacks, compressing them tightly and destroying all detail there. It's good when your goal is to make a small delivery file, but bad for acquisition. H.26x are the delivery formats, so they have their flaws. If you want to record the noise floor texture while your codec makes smooth blacks, you'll have to put it at a higher place.

New Shogun review from Dave Dugmore: http://www.learningdslrvideo.com/atomos-shogun-review/.
I could not see any difference with the GH4 using green screen 4:2:2 vs 4:2:0. I tried looking at all the different channels in Photoshop to see which one had more detail, but I couldn’t see any difference.
That's interesting, because Stefan Czech's review revealed a prominent difference in gradients shot 4:2:2 vs 4:2:0. Much more prominent that 10bit vs 8 bit (GH4).

Because of the H.265 It will need to be converted. My question was more aimed if the MacBook Pro 15in maxed out can handle the transcode process decently or if I really need to go to a desktop where I can have a more powerful machine. My goal would be to stay with a Laptop because of my travel requirements, but if a desktop would be necessary I could manage.
Grab some samples and try them!

not that I don't appreciate the parallel, but I doubt communism was ever gonna lead to innovations that offer us the nice camera toys we get to play with.
Well, i bet Brits appreciate their health care system not less than their consumer cameras And their "from cradle to grave" system was derived from the Soviet one. Communism had started as a capitalism critic aimed at gaining more social justice, and at that matter it made a great contribution into modern west's way of life.
Anyway, NKR at its present state is a sad joke.
P.S. Interestingly, we have several investment projects here, SK invited, and they're saying - "bring the NKs here to, so we can work with them together". People want to be reunited.
P.P.S. Give them proper feeding and the new generation children will be tall and beautiful.

I've tried a few converters for my NX1 footage and here is what I found:
...
Mac users could also try this, http://www.iffmpeg.com/
which is basically a gui for ffmpeg, which is basically all you need to transcode to ProRes.

another frame grab from the test videos, a7s on the right, 1dc on the left.
Looks like the a7s is very soft in 4k terms. Though it's less noisy than Canon in your shot. Could you post some more 4k grabs (not split, just pairs)?

the difference between internal recording and the recording in shogun is hardly visible. stefan czech did a technical test in his new shogun tutorial video that shows the main difference, here is a screenshot:
Hmm, what this jpeg example shows to me is that going to 4:2:2 from 4:2:0 is more important than 10bit vs 8bit when it comes to banding.

The joke about the basketball hoops needing to be lowered isn't about North Korea, it's about a race of people, that the filmmakers get a kick out of portraying as weird small people who speak funny
I haven't seen the film - isn't that joke about a guy who likes to play with his personal circus, which unfortunately is a country?
Korean basketball is OK

Hey, you don't trust me GMaximus? hehe
It just didn't make sense for me, been using MPC for years, tried it with h.265 for sure, it didn't use hardware acceleration and was as slow as VLC.
But they did improve h.265 playback in v.1.77:
- LAV Video: HEVC decoding is up to 100% faster
- Ticket #4783, LAV Video: Experimental support for hardware (CUVID and DXVA2) assisted decoding of HEVC streams (disabled by default)
Have to try DXVA with it.
-
EDIT: just downloaded the newest 1.7.7, they made a huge improvement in HEVC playback.
Ahh, that makes the first post much more reasonable.

I'd love to see any new footage, especially of Lisbon ;)
Check the other vids on that channel.

He's good, i'm still impressed with the Mysterious Skin.that guy is so talented, i cant get over his performance on "brick",
-
To listen to your customers... that is a small step for a man and a giant leap for a company.Thankfully pretty much almost every issue for the camera is likely only a firmware update away...

I'm pretty sure a Sony is good choice for interviews - i saw it in True Detective.
Well, why not?
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Sony-Alpha-a6000-Mirrorless-Digital-Camera/ci/26675/N/3839671200 - very good price

Doesn't work in quantum mechanics and camera discussions ))In science when you want to study one variable you hold all the others stable. It's just common sense.

True, image capturing process doesn't allow a 100% resolution, but in general, regarding modern consumer stills cameras, a 30% oversampling provides a perfectly acceptable detalization. That's about 5.3k, close to what nx1 is doing.Simply put: camera sensors usually only capture 1/3 the resolution. So 4K is closer to 1080, but still isn't actually 1080.
-
That's right. All you need to transcode to ProRes is ffmpeg - and a gui for the convenience.Hey there my good man, try this.I have yet to receive my NX1 so I've only been able to play with the files other people on the net have been kind enough to upload, seems to work great though, he's just split the exe into 32 and 64bit versions too.

Canon 1DX II - Video Camera Perspective - Mini interview on the missing details
In: Cameras
Posted
Wow...
An anonymous insider just revealed that Canon will be producing smartphones!
Unfortunately, there's lots of data processing, so the smartphone from Canon will require several heat fans. There are two prototypes at the moment, differently sized... We are pleased to reveal them.
Here they go!
