One thing for sure, making your own player and maintaining it is a full-time job with constant browser, device OS updates with ever changing features and policies.

I continue to stick with Vimeo. 

 

Self host is as straightforward as:

<video width="320"height="240" controls>
 <sourcesrc="movie.mp4"type="video/mp4">  <sourcesrc="movie.ogg"type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

No os updates no policies or what ever. Only trouble is amount of traffic on your server if you have loads of views. Not sure what is cheaper. For 20  € per month you get a good amount of server space and traffic bandwidth, my provider says traffic flat rate but am not sure if you have loads of requests if the server would be able to handle that. No, don't do evil, no third party cookies etc...but also no community

What a low blow. Disgusting

 I've spent ages optimising the various settings in Resolve to optimise performance while watching the resource monitor in Windows.

Any intelligence is welcome As I have only just made the switch to resolve.

Only the Studio version can exploit the GPU.

Oh crap ???☺️

Do you have Resolve Studio or the free version?

Free version. Still wondering I should get studio version with a free p4k or try to fish for a code or dongle somewhere...would it make a difference?

Blackmagic puts out an official hardware and configuration guide for every version of Resolve, no better advice than from the people who write the software: https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/DaVinciResolve/20180407-79c607/DaVinci_Resolve_15_Configuration_Guide.pdf

Yeah I checked that first but if you go for their advice you quickly go into five digit territory....

Not editing 4K and also coming from the Stone Age but recently got a standard msi x299?!? 1080gtx and ryzen 2700 and only 16gb ram. My resolve system fine tuning seems to still lag but it is lighting fast rendering stuff (for that it hardly uses any gpu). It looks like you'll need gpu umpf for more nodes, nr, ... while scrubbing and live playback. other than that my gpu seems to be idle pretty much all the time. 

Looks like they start from 130€ license code or dongle no idea if it’s legit.

Maybe I can

@Andrew Reid wanna get rid of the studio dongle... it will significantly reduce shipping costs to the midlands ?.  Also It saves me from getting the besotted p4k. Will pick up and pay cash ? 

Hilarious, I wish the p4k would have been in some kind of flat profile “factory setting” and he would have complained about the contrast of the image and no apparent sharpness.

This test was an eyesore and a waste of my time! This is going full loop back to that camera blogger reviewers thread, I mean what is he doing on yt even talking about cameras, I dearly wish for him his intention is to sell Sony or what not otherwise he has to be simply trolling.

Dailymotion. Been there for 13 years but It's just a French equivalent of youtube.

https://www.dailymotion.com/us

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dailymotion

After that we have Pornhub!

Would be brilliant to share seriously cinematic footage on pornhub. Wonder if they have a "only porn" sharing policy?

No idea but isn't it viable to host yourself? Since I am off of Vimeo, for customer review I just upload to my own server. Easy since html5 but for massive amounts of view obviously not sensible.

@kye thanks! I know where you are coming from now.

I guess it's the question when a picture/clip is truly finished and different reasoning can be applied for this. E.g. For an 10sec tv ad you would go do a complex grade and effects etc. while on a runngun doc with interviews it is just not sensible to do so for different reasons, and p4k is probably not the right tool anyways.

I guess it's exactly the same for photos in that sense. 

Since everybody is going on about what a masterful knowledge is required to render a "Video" raw file, I am wondering how it differs to  exposing a photo raw? And what other knowledge and skill set is required compared to an experienced photographer?

Yeah the 35mm dx is ? And for next to nothing a nobrainer.

Would love to see the trailer.

Hey Andrew,

i have a friend who is working at ice, one of the major revenue calculation?!? Companies in Europe ( or Germany), this basically works like it is working for parties and events.

You play certain stuff at the event and the you'll pay GEMA for the individual tracks played or something like it. YT works the same way ( in Germany). Ice is checking views and then giving this to GEMA or who ever, not sure, which is billing YT. GEMA was or is in big money fights with YT. Old story of national against international Duda.

 Long story short, event people don't ask individual record labels if they can play a track, they deal with GEMA and are free to play whatever they want. What I am saying, just as a general feeling,  in Germany all rights holder will be served if you play (upload/view) a track on YT and Tag the song so it can be then counted by Ice. Not sure if it helps, good luck! Maybe read some at ICE. Will ask my matey about it next time....

....sorry more jibberish, I think here it is also the same for doc film stuff news etc. they use what they want and then rights holders can be served by GEMA afaik this is how it works here.

Great to see a first test being done but I am not to sure how real world this scenario is. What he is doing should've done in a scientific way. Let's say it snaps focus in 0.1 second and z7 in 0.2sec, I wonder how much is feeling in this and how much is relation.

Some shooters might wildly jump focus from infinity to closeup while demanding milisec snapping, for me something like constant af is much more important...one could also say this has something to do with good technique, pre focusing and so on...

I can guarantee the moment we get the miracle that is full frame 4K/60p, we will want medium format 4K/120p

Haha, 4k60 is pretty much useless to anyone seriously interested in high image quality. ?

We'll all this jpg look comes from choice of picture profile, no?

Puhhhh, cheers thanks for the insights.

Ok, so my gut feeling is not that far off. I do a couple of fashion photo shoots a year and although it is not that much of an extensive prep (as with video, I think) experience shows that you need a handful of people knowing what they're doing to have it all come together right.

What would you like to know? 

Well, slightly overwhelmed. In general I would love to take a slice of it home meaning I would love to translate some of it over to my event reportage run and gun stuff.

So first question before throwing myself off the roof, please don't tell me you did this on the weekends with a mate helping a little...?!? Because to me this looks like a well organised and equipped shoot with a fair amount of people involved. Makeup, styling, location scouting, bloody amazing lighting etc...

Foxconn suicides will be peanuts against this.

Lloyd Chambers’ Z7 goes bonkers.

Ahhhrrrggghhh. The only thing I ever wanted was ff and peaking and 120p and Ibis and dpaf and not from a sony body ?

@Andrew Reid my life will be constant nightmares until your salvation aka z7 review. ??

I wonder. I didn’t pre-order until the end of September and the man in the store said I was first in line, guaranteed a Z6 on launch day. That was quite a while after the announcement. 

Where? ?
