Hmm the big miss is no internal Nd Filters. If they would have included that it would be a huge success. Looking forward to actual footage though, s1rii def looked better then the s5ii. Might pick up an used r5c(EF ND adapter) or c70 with speedbooster, that way I can have internal ND's.

Well most of us were just waiting on 50fps 4k full frame. I hope everything else improved as well. Like a better monitor, better colors etc. Prores raw internal is a bummer as resolve does not support it natively.

Thats true, allthough I am never really enjoying edits. I rather enjoy the images but thats just me.

Oh I do have an m1 macbook lying around, but I never use it. I prefer windows. But if it works better, I might need to switch.

Hi guys, So my pc is getting old around 5 years now. Playback rate is not that great in davinci resolve to the point I am losing too much time, still running an amd ryzen 1700x and gtx1080, SSD's and 32GB RAM. Not sure if there are any major breakthroughs that have sped up your editing workflow through your pc hardware lately. Thinking about getting an i9 14900k and an rtx 4070. But open to any advice! Thanks!

Hi, Any youtubers with good editing advice for fast cut edting. I think I need to step up my editing game to the fast social media age to grab attention fast. I don't like shooting vertical video either, but that seems to be the trend for instagram/tiktok these days. I have not looked into this much really, but their might be some good tips out there for vertical video also that I am unaware off. Thanks!

I see, well in my case I would be using it also for run and gun interviews with only natural light. So dynamic range needs to be great. Not sure my s5ii will make it, allthough according to cined. There is not that much dr difference with the a7siii. Maybe the highlight rolloff is nicer on the a7siii. Not sure. I wished there were more camera stores over here that would let you test stuff in their store.

Nice stuff! Have you shot any interviews with this setup?

Hi, I might go on a job trip to south america soon for a job. Video + photo. Travelling between locations, run and gun situations + interviews. So i might want to get a new hybrid camera. (S5 and s5ii atm, but I don't seem to like the highlight rolloff and the colors at times when using it run and gun, while in studio it works as an charm) . But I am unsure which one would be the best. Thinking about an a7siii (SD cards) with 24-70mm 2.8 and 70-200mm 2.8. + gymbal + Lav set. I once used an a7s ii in central america, where I liked the highlight rolloff and the colors of the camera. Low weight and speed is key I think. Long battery life as well. (No vlock batteries as they are too heavy. The camera should not overheat. And only wish to use 1 body for now for weight reasons) Any other recommendations? Cheers,

Same, costed me lots of jobs as well. As often they request the premiere/Ae project files. Or they ask if I can take over an existing premiere edit. Been working in resolve for 10 years now, and stopped using adobe because of their subscription model. All in all I might have made more money, just paying for the subscriptions.. Sorry to get offtopic a bit here.

The beauty is that you can shoot whatever resolution without crop. I would never shoot above 4k. But the 12k sure does have pretty colors.

EF, yes. Loads of EF options. The pyxis needs an extra monitor the c500ii does not. The limitation of only braw is also a dealbreaker. I hope they will include a different codec soon. As lots of clients dont accept braw.

Hi, I really like the pyxis 12K LF. But... now with the price drop on the C500II they are almost in the same ballpark pricewise. And I am not sure why I would pick the pyxis over the c5OOii. C500II: Ibis, monitor, AF(allthough blackmagic is catching up), internal ND's. pyxis 12K lf. It's newer. Might be easier to mount on a gimbal. Have not seen any image comparisons. I love the IQ from both camera's, but have not seen any side by side by these 2 camera's. Any other input? Thanks!

I would be all over that if it was an Belgian store. Allthough I saw one used for 5k a while back.

Oh yeah, I just mean the day by day hustle corporate video's. Its just time I can spend with my family instead. If it is an passion project or art project it is different, then I will try everything by hand to get the best possible result. But in business its time I dont get paid extra for + all the AI applications are more or less aimed at repetitive tasks that dont require that much creativity.

This AI stuff is great, it saves so much time, creating subs, remixing music, mixing the audio, soon it prolly will match log footage from different camera's perfectly. And then you can creatively focus on the overall grade.

Yeah If it becomes subscription based, and it is in the Adobe price range. I might jump ship, as photoshop and Lightroom would be nice to have. We will see. I really hate the adobe subscription model.

Just watched the first episode, it feels a little a bit gimmicky to me. Sometimes the lighting is a bit boring, as that is normal as you can't lock off shots like you do on static shots. I rather have something more stylistic. With cuts between ECU's, wides, medium shots, cutting between characters to build suspense etc. Might be a bit more classic approach, and maybe in my head that works better. Never the less they did an fantastic job nailing an entire episode in one shot. (The studio episode 2 is also done in similar style)

That 12k sensor does have some mojo going on. As good as Alexa? doubt. But the Alexa is soooo heavy + lowlight is better on the pyxis.

I don't think this will affect me so much, gear wise. Might be a good way to avoid GAS. Not sure in what parts of my life this will hit though.

Seems to be the pyxis 12k. (Doesnt seem to have internal ND, and only braw. No prores) just saw the banner on the NAB windows.

I hope proress gets released on the newer cameras again + internal ND on the full frame cinema 6k sensor.

The void gap that can be filled is business talk. I fear it is too tech / creative oriented. And the business side is ignored. Openly communicating about prices/locations/jobs seems a bit taboo at times. While that part is the part that feeds their kids( most important. ) and I feel most creatives arent naturally gifted in that division.

Just my personal experience, no side by side tests though. Metabones for example in the sony cameras was a huge mess. Slow + need to reconnect often. Havent had that issue once on a panasonic camera.

Sigma indeed.
