No - Adjustment Clips 'They're kind of like adjustment layers' (how they were presented in the conference)

That's brilliant. Does installing the public beta also remove 15.3.1?

I don't think they're hot swap-able, but you can charge them through the 12v input. So you could have the grip and sled with a bigger NPF battery on and you'll be able to go for like half a day, then hotswap the battery on the sled if need be. Kind of the same as it currently stands with the LPE6, but with MUCH more backup. From their website: Designed for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, the new Pocket Battery Grip lets you replace the camera’s standard LP‑E6 battery with two L‑series batteries so you can shoot for over 2 hours on a single charge! You can even charge the batteries in the grip via the camera’s 12V DC connection in between takes! -- I think the grip would be great for travel stuff where you don't want extra cables etc. I'll definitely grab one, but in a few months when some 3rd parties have solutions.

2 hrs on a single charge while powering external disks. Sweet.

With the P4K, a Sigma 18-35 on a Viltrox booster at ISO 3200 1/50th shutter can be quite a bit brighter than what the human eye can see, and there's still plenty of room in the ISO range to go up. Going to 6400 is perfectly acceptable in most situations, but you can go even higher and clean up in post if you like.

Especially when the non-locking part of the system is in someone's pocket... And they're likely not as technically minded as the camera/audio crew.... and they don't know/care about the weaknesses of the gear... or how the equipment is set up... and they're mid conversation in an interview. All of that is also the reason why I use wires and a boom mic as much as I possibly can. I want to keep any potential errors, technical or otherwise away from people with no idea, and in the hands of people who can quickly solve them. Having you USB drive dangling out of your camera while you're filming is silly, but at least as the operator who's set everything up, you're aware of what the consequences could be and know how to best manage things to avoid those consequences. The talent wearing a wireless mic has no idea.

Wow great! Well my main thing for now is 1 clip and 1 audio source. However I do often have a whole day's worth of stuff that needs syncing so being able to do multiple clips will definitely be handy. I've not yet tried it with Plural Eyes, but Braw support is a huge thing for me, and I'm sure more and more people as the weeks fly by. I can't rely on audio timestamps so much as my main focus now is a 1 take music performance, with the audio recorded and mixed separately. In Premier, the auto sync thing matches my SOC audio and the mixed track pretty well, but I can't open Braw in it (yet?). I'd love it if Resolve or another program did the same with my Braw footage.

Resizing your workspace? No way!!

What's the best way to sync audio to multiple clips in Resolve? I've been manually matching sounds and waveforms clapperboard style, but wonder if there's a Premiere/Pluraleyes type 'Sync' button? I can't seem to find it anywhere and wonder if I'm missing something.

Quality sounds great for most one band band uses, and pretty cool that it comes with a deadcat for the built-in mic. Not sure about the hotshoe thing though - I much prefer a screw tight style... we'll see how it works out I guess.

Haha in that case, good luck with your search.

What’s the project? I record VO as a pretty regular part of my job. PM me your email and I can send you some samples.

Anyone looking to learn new software like this, I would advise you to just make yourself a sweet ass new showreel, and if possible do it from the original camera files so you also have to re-grade everything. That way have to learn how to use the tools to match a grade, or make it even better. There's no deadlines so you can take your time and get to know every inch of the software that's relevant to you, and since the showreel's job is to promote yourself, then you'll want to put the time in to get every little detail right. It's always worked for me. As for the organisation of projects, I just let DaVinci use it's database while I"m working on it, and then when it's finished, you can go to the little Home icon in bottom left, right click on a thumbnail and go 'Export Project' This gives you a .dpr file that you can save next to all your media for archiving.

"4K UHD at 24/25/30 frames per second with no time limitation. In FullHD, the G91 can record at up to 120 frames per second. Furthermore, it’s the first camera in the G line that features V-LogL. Unfortunately, internal recording to the single SD card is limited to 4:2:0 8bit. But, you can use the Micro HDMI port to output a 4:2:2 8bit signal to an external recorder." 4K25p 8bit 4:2:0 - Nothing new here. Same as every other camera in this range for the last 3 or 4 years. Aside from VLog, I'd just save a bunch of cash and get a G7.

Their promo makes it pretty clear this isn't a 'professional' tool - it's for bloggers and basically people shooting on their own, with minimal setups. https://youtu.be/Yjxbq9FDAuE Is there any hints out about how this will pair with the P4K? The 3.5mm input on the camera is notoriously quiet, but if this can deliver a pretty warm/hot signal then it could be a good pairing.

I have those in a shopping list. I think they’re smaller than these. In your limited time with them, how are you liking them?

turns out you don't even need a menu, no matter how large it might be. Since you're going to an Atomos recorder, you don't need the camera's LCD on anyway, so the EVF Only option will save you some battery life Strange there's no option for both on though.

I don't know about this camera, but on most there's an option to turn off the evf eye detect thing - if this is a regular problem for you, I'd definitely see if you can turn it off. You might lose some battery life, but that's better than ruined shots. --- Edit: Oh you mention turning it off... seems to me you have a problem, and a solution to that problem, but are choosing not to use it.

Figured it out - You need to set the 'Project Framerate' to 50/60p and then the VA will receive a 50/60p 1080 signal. Annoyingly, this will slowdown switching to a slow motion external recording. I guess I've already become spoiled by the one touch slowmo, which is amazing for run and gun. Tomorrow I'll see what happens if I set the project framerate to 50p and the offspeed to 25p. I imagine, when using a 25p timeline, the SOC files will give me realtime playback with the usual motion blur etc when set to 50/25, and 50/50 will still give me slowmo in that same timeline. The external recordings will have to be confirmed to whatever playback speed I need on a clip by clip basis, but I'm excited to try it out, it could be an interesting work around to a niche problem.

Does abyone know how to get 50/60p out the HDMI? I was recently shooting with the 5 inch video assist, which can record up to 1080p60 - however when I set the camera to record in any resolution at 50p, the VA still only records a real-time 25p signal. Am I missing something in a menu that’s impossible to miss things in?

thisbis rally simple, well explained technique that I’m sure will help a lot of people. Especially those in wedding films.

The camera will output a 1080p video through the HDMI, so I guess as long as the monitor can take 1080p60, you'll be fine.

Sony robots will be the first to do that.
