I wonder huw much time does it take export to H.264 50Mbps.

How much time does it take on your computer to render this 23 minutes video to 4K H.264 MP4 in 50Mbps?

The Nvidia GTX 960 has a dedicated H.265 hardware encoder / decoder, I wonder if it helps vs the GTX 970.

Thank you for the update. What do you mean by "eperate SSD system"? Internal SSD that are used only for Premiere?

I shot also with Panasonic G7, its also there, but the pattern is better - not in steps like the Sony. The steps cause worse problem in grading.

You can see it in the attached sample. Shot with Cine4 S-Log3. Ungraded. You have to look at full size.

Thank you for the reply. I prefer to prevent it at the shooting stage and not try removing in post. Tried to shoot with Cine 2 / 4 but it still there in the ungraded material.

It happens in S-Log3 and S-Log2 as well. Funny, I dont remember it so severe in A7S.

That's true, the two must go together…

Thank you for the link. From what I see (regarding the test with Premiere CC which is more relevant today), in 1080p and a lot of effects, GPU helped until certain point only and the CPU / Chipset made a big difference. In 4K staff, GPU was much more important.

Do you have a certain info about that? from what I know, Premiere use GPU for Mercury engine and preview, but not for final rendering.

Premiere does not use GPU for final rendering, so all CPU power enhancement is usefull.

Regarding CPU power, newer Intel models has "Quick Sync Video" that does help rendering faster indeed, but Premiere does not support it: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/quick-sync-video/quick-sync-video-general.html

Banding is a S-Log 3 problem, you dont have to use it.

Hello Andrew, In the end of A7SII review part 1, you were talking about this topic (A7SII or A7RII). from what I understood, All together, you were leaning towards the A7RII as a whole solution. Am I correct?

Thank you. I must say, that after viewing large number of A7SII S-Log3 "Luted" files, the colors are always artificial for the bad, trying to be too "artistic". Maybe we need to see more results.

Saw some tests, the A7RII in S35 4K mode seems sharper than A7SII in FF. Besides, many A7SII has orange tint versus more natural color of the A7RII, am I right?

Lucky Luke, are you saying that after checking and filming with the A7S II?

He said in the video that it was been filmed with the first A7S, take a look again.

Thank you for the clips Andrew. While editing, I see that the sky (clouds) show some visible gradients, do you have a different experience?

The day shots in Times square and Central Park were shot with the A7S, not II.

You dont like the G7? Why?

Regarding the saying that they didn't mention this is a Jewish owned store, Aljazeera do that it in a much smarter way, they just put a front photo with a Jew standing there. Bang, target accomplished.

I don't understand people who ask about 4K in crop mode. Look at the total number of pixels in this sensor and tell yourself the answer, its a simple math.

4K in camera, full pixel readout - no binning, 5 axis ois, same iso 409600.
