I'm surprised this hasn't been more heavily mentioned. I've been using Color Match since the beta and it has already saved me days of my life this year doing menial corrections. I'd love for BM to add more editing features, so I can just stay in Resolve, but I'd much rather avoid bloat. And it's free! (If you don't need NR.)

Samsung U28D590 review - Ultra HD 4K 28" monitor for $599
andrgl replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
That's pretty expensive for a glossy TN panel. -
That website is complete bullshit. Every other link is affiliate stuffed. And if you buy anything within the cookie lifespan, they get a cut of the sale. More visits = more clicks = more money. Look how many websites are part of the network. They have every manufacturer covered. They post EVERYTHING to increase the amount of visitors.

Super tempted to pull the trigger on the EF to M43 adapter. I was given a box full of lenses from a friend. It's very nice to see Metabones supporting their products like this.

I hear it shoots RAW, makes your breakfast and grades itself if you ask nicely. :rolleyes:

Pretty sure MP4 is used as the container for XAVC.

Moot point considering Resolve has been optimized for OpenCL since late 2013 and the OP is using an AMD card.

Great, hope it helps. Yeah, unfortunately Resolve will not run on integrated graphics. jb, if you're still shopping around for a graphic card, consider one with the most video ram. DaVinci thrives on lots and lots of vRAM. My 290x only has 4GB. There are a few sub $600 cards with 6GB, mostly GTX 780s. But before you plunk down any cash, try and play with resolve if you can. It's not the best editor. I haven't used Vegas in years and years, but my opinion is that FCP and Premier are far superior at editing together footage. Davinci is amazing at grading. It can also be used for very light compositing too.

Slightly Definitely outside your desired parameters, but this is such an awesome lens:

You don't have to. I've used a few systems that could handle h.264. Mine however, and most other machines I've worked from, typically suffer from laggy h.264 playback. If you're using a Windows based machine, try DNxHD. It's available as an export option in Resolve under Video Format > QuickTime. Then under Codec choose any of the DNxHD profiles. Not to be obnoxious. But the Blackmagic subforum for Davinci Resolve could net you more accurate answers. :) (Though sometimes you get none.)

Are you working with h.264 files? If so, re-encode them to ProRes or DNxHD.

Andrew, I loved the video, thank you for sharing what's possible with the camera. :)

5D3 raw image quality is awesome.
-
Masks are tricky (but produce the best results). I second Aaron's suggestion of using qualifiers. edit: the qualifiers for the shadows+highlights is very subtle, I suggest looking at the image in tabs original contrast - '> shadows+highlights preserved - '>

I don't think an iMac is worth it. Can you replace the RAM? Apple will do it. (Assuming you buy now before the refresh. The 2014 model has its RAM soldered on.) Can you add more HDD space? Not internally without voiding the warranty. Can you add in a GPU? Nope. Can you upgrade to a higher resolution monitor when prices fall bellow 300? You can plug one in. To it's strength, Final Cut Pro is only $300. That is definitely a huge advantage for the Mac. But you don't need to own an iMac to reap that benefit.

Wow. That camera kicks ass. Love the look. Greenish cast can easily be eliminated:

It was announced back in April. http://www.eoshd.com/content/12544/blackmagic-studio-camera-announced-today http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/ca/press/pressdetails?releaseID=60310

Native ISO on the BMPCC is 800.
-
Wowsers. That's a killer price. I also vote for people to buy. The pocket is already worth 20x times what I originally paid for it. And it's only been 7 months. ;) I've use it for high end real estate videos. Shooting RAW on an edelkrone motorized slider/head I can pull off layered sequences. I kinda feel bad about the photogs I bumped for work, but hey, I'm able to do what they do, only with thousands of frames. I'm sure someday too I will become a fossil.

You shoot flat to grade it in post.

Slashcam test reveals Sony A7S 1080/60p softer than 24p mode

Hah, that was super trippy. Very effective trick. Did you try reclaiming some color from those harsh orange lights? I can see the footage was graded but I know trying to get anything from under high pressure sodium can be a pain. Also, could you shoot continuous at 48fps? If I remember correctly, 45 fps at 1080 is the max sustained writing speed from the CF port. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Inspiring stuff. :)

Does it output via HDMI? I never tried with my eos-m. If it does, the less than real time playback isn't such a big deal.
