I see where the FPS shows up now. It is around 7fps with Metal. Real-time 24fps / 25fps with OpenCL.

So the problem is Metal.

Not the only problem mind you - there is the H.265 / Fuji shadow clipping issues that make all the files look like trash!

Definitely all needs to be looked into by Blackmagic.

Here ya go you Muppet 

"What's new in DaVinci Resolve 16.2.3

Support for Dolby Vision 4.1 CM algorithm to generate v2.9 trims from v4.

Option to export a Dolby Vision v2.9 XML from a v4 project.

Support for RED SDK 7.3.2.

Faster Metal decoding for Canon EOS-1D X Mark III and EOS R5 clips."

This is hilarious, you already have lost your top contributors to this forum.

Around 12:30 he shows a few quick clips, looks better than others I've seen posted for Komodo so far. 

I don't think anyone has seen any Komodo footage that looks remotely impressive, which is too bad. Everyone has been saying it just looks like Sony mirrorless footage lol. Next to the helium in Phillip Grossmans footage, you can see how un-cinematic it looks. It doesnt have that smooth flat look (especially in highlights) that the other REDs have. Color science is meh too. I know some of this can be changed in something like Resolve, but come on, they have been working on this camera forever and I think Jared said they have the color science/image really close to where they want it now. 

It is true, Andrew and I were in love, but now he has limited my permissions. He cannot bring himself to ban me, as he still holds me dear to his heart. 

Andrew, if you are listening, I still love you and I forgive you. It's ok, go ahead and slip me another DM, i'll reply to it in the tub, just like old times.

All hail the troll who lives under hundreds the bridges he burns! Andrew Trump everyone! He says whatever is on his mind and must be a honey badger because a honey badger just dont give a shit! haha

Crying about censorship again are we?

What a crybaby.

You are such a stupid hypocrite hahaha. Btw, just so everyone here knows, he has now banned my home IP. Missed my changing cellular IP though. Why not just get the balls and ban my account? That coward ban didnt work. 

The professionalism has returned, thank you for listening Andrew. I hope we can put this behind us and continue to help fellow amature film enthusiasts.

Edit: oh no, someone erased the 10+ comment likes/rep I had on my posts on this thread already. I hope that you can look into it andrew. I think that we have a communist hacker censoring peoples freedom of speech and votes. I know that you just made a thread about how shitty dpreview is for censoring users, im sure that you will right this wrong!

andrew reid 6/3/2020 - "I have also been subject to censorship on the DPReview forum (my URL is banned completely) so I know what it's like to have your voice silenced from a community."
 

Ok, you win the internet battles. Honestly, I have had no ill intent towards you Andrew, this is your forum/blog and you should do as you please.

I just saw some self destructive behavior in this last year and it seemed out of character. I think that you have demonstrated that you have a ton of potential in this industry and I felt that you had been above some of the nonsense I have seen lately. I guess you can choose to be that dude, Trump did it in politics and says whatever he wants lol. My goal was to just hopefully get you to think a little about what you are doing. I'm sure you don't care and hopefully not, but I think you are severely limiting yourself.

Remember, true friends will tell you what you don't want to hear (not that I am or want to be, I just enjoyed your content in the past). 

I love you bro, why did you reset my rep? I just have tried to get you to put your feet back on the ground. 

People try to say this camera is a true 1D C II, but it isn't, it's a sports camera that has video features. A true 1D C successor would have LOG 2 and many other features missing from this one.

Do I see this correctly?  My 1DX2 does 4K 60fps with autofocus, and the 1DX3 does not?  I gladly keep the old cam.

I'm pretty sure it still does 4k 60 & AF with around the same crop as before. It just cant do 5.5k 60p RAW with AF.

If we're going to make assumptions about my character, how about I make some assumptions about yours!

You just had a very high profile murder of a black man in your country and not once have you condemned it.

So why don't we start by you condemning that, just so we can get the racist stuff out the way so we can carry on talking cameras??

Or is your love of Trump making you tongue tied?

Hmm lets see, in your other dp review thread I started off by saying: "I think there should be a sub forum here for political stuff & I agree that what happened to George Floyd was bullshit (even though this is more about DP review & andrews grudge lol). It is really odd to mix politics and cameras but whatever."

Then: "I agree with the tribalism thing, it seems quite extreme on each side now, where it used to be much more balanced. I am for people speaking their mind, but do not tolerate racism, if you delete some bullshit racist posts & ban those assholes, I will applaud that."

Also: "I have teased you about some of the vendettas you have taken up against blackmagic and dpreview, but it is because I dont think you should bother with it. I do think you are talented in what you have created here and appreciate you opinion on cameras etc.

"Keep up the good work and I hope we can all not give in to hate. Life is too short to hate. Let's try to help free those who have been put down by it."

Oh yeah and on trump I already had said in that thread: "What would you prefer every member to be here Andrew? Am I not welcome if I am socially liberal, but economically conservative & think trump is a crazy ass? Do I have to agree with everything you say and be a rabid liberal to be welcome here? 

You have very selective memory apparently. You just get so triggered so easily, I was concurring at the start of your threads about dpreview and just said to be above this crap and you went off. 

It does show less noise in your finished project and is nice to have the extra resolution for stabilizing if you need it. Many experts that have played around with both, have said that the pocket 6k has less color problems out of the box. They both have IR pollution. The only thing I really had a big gripe with was the battery life. It is around 20min per battery if you want to see your screen outside, so you end up making some huge rig with a giant battery and screen, which should be unnecessary imo. I like to bike 10-25 miles into steep mountains, so having it fully rigged out is a bear. I think their battery choice logic was based on them doing an EF mount, so they put Canon batteries in it. Then again, the EOS R has the same one and doesn't die shortly after you turn it on.

Based on the public specs for the R5 I would guess that it has a new processor, I am guessing a Digic 9, and it must be capable of better performance than the 1DXIII. They claim that it can do 8K30p with AF, that means there is enough computational power to handle it, quite a bit more than the 1DXIII. Worst case scenario would be 8K with RS of about 33 ms. Lower resolutions than 8K should be able to do higher frame rates with less RS.

But doesn't the 1DX traditionally have dual processors, one entirely dedicated to AF? Even with a new generation processor in the R5, you're talking 8K instead of 6 and one less CPU, it would have to be a pretty huge leap in generational technology. It's always possible that Canon held back though & they rarely rectify it after release c200 ii anyone? Lol

The "link" with the topic is that you get your feelings hurt way too easy and act unprofessional as !@#$ for years over it. Let something go once in awhile. 

This thread here just makes you sound jealous & petty because no one is inviting you to anything anymore. I saw you did a little troll hit piece on cinema5d in the past too. Is there a bridge left that you havent burned? I have only been here a few years, but I remember all the kicking & screaming over blackmagic & dpreview (I'm certain there are many more). It was entertaining, so thank you for that.

Do you just not want people to take you seriously? This childish behaviour only hurts you; I was trying to help you reel it back in, but this seems to be a habit & I dont see anyone helping you subdue it.

Ever thought of actually contributing?

Haha, just go back a couple pages & you can see screenshots I posted with what I initially found using the camera. I also was bored & dropped by the site for the first time in a long while. I wasnt even going to post anything, but you were asking for help getting RAW footage to play smoothly in Resolve, so I wrote out for you what worked for me when I had the same problem. Never contribute though, you're right 🤣

I need a map the size of Texas to work that link out. Blackmagic not inviting me to what? A video conference call on Zoom?

I am free to have an opinion on certain people in the industry.

Doesn't make me a poser.

No, when the pocket 4k was coming out, they didnt invite you and brought a ton of kiss asses instead and you were all over that for a long time. What I'm saying is, I dont really think it's worth your time even acknowledging places like dpreview forums, we all know it's a trash bin. 

@Andrew Reid I hear that the 1DX III has 12 stops of dynamic range in RAW. Canon USA replied to my question in their video & said that it is 12 stops in RAW. From what I understand, regular CLOG can get around 12 stops, but CLOG 2 can get up to 15 stops or so (canon claimed) on certain sensors. I saw a few videos where people putting the 1DX III footage into Resolve and it automatically converts it to CLOG 2, which they say has helped them get better DR than using Canons tool. 

So what do you believe? Can it get more than 12 stops in RAW with resolve? Or does this camera have a few less stops of DR vs a C200/300 etc? I wish cinema5d would test it on their new system, the pocket 6k gets 11.9 stops of DR or something like that. I wonder if this 1DX RAW is similar or better. 

Why is this thread pretty dead now?

So going back to the original topic.

DPReview forum mod locked and censored posts with photos of anti-racism protests.

You could ask yourself why? And what do you think about that?

On the front page, the headline about the police targeting photo journalists was misleading. In the article, the photographer had their lens broken by a protester.

Do you think this is acceptable - to vilify the police and then use two completely false examples of police brutality?

Americans need to start questioning more.

No.

And by the way, I am not a "rabid liberal" whatever that is.

I have a mixture of complicated views, some of them socially liberal, some of them agreeing with Joe Rogen's podcast a lot of the time, some of them fiscally conservative, it's a big old mix.

This is why it is so stupid we are putting people into tribes of far left and far right.

It is way more complex.

However, capitalism selects for extremes so this is the result. A fading away of any middle ground, and two tribes battling it out for supremacy and control.

Fair enough. I am more for less regulation on small-medium sized businesses, but I think it's total garbage that people like Bezos have friends who create so many loopholes for him & others, that they pay no taxes while making billions. That just makes everyone else pay their share(amazons). I agree with the tribalism thing, it seems quite extreme on each side now, where it used to be much more balanced. I am for people speaking their mind, but do not tolerate racism, if you delete some bullshit racist posts & ban those assholes, I will applaud that. I have just witnessed too many people here calling anyone else who is not as far left as them a nazi, which is crazy to me and dilutes a classification that should hold meaning to actual alt right shitheads. Then we have moderate conservatives now calling all liberals communists, which also is not accurate. 

I have teased you about some of the vendettas you have taken up against blackmagic and dpreview, but it is because I dont think you should bother with it. I do think you are talented in what you have created here and appreciate you opinion on cameras etc.

Keep up the good work and I hope we can all not give in to hate. Life is too short to hate. Let's try to help free those who have been put down by it.

Finally, another idiot gone.

At this rate we'll be a much better forum.

What would you prefer every member to be here Andrew? Am I not welcome if I am socially liberal, but economically conservative & think trump is a crazy ass? Do I have to agree with everything you say and be a rabid liberal to be welcome here?

Nope, that is censorship Andrew, do not delude yourself. Respectfully. 

Haha, it's all freedom of speech, as long as it's what the alt left agrees with. Then if you are just a moderate conservative with social liberal views, you are a nazi the second you say anything that isnt 100% what they agree with. Dont like Bernie Sanders because he is a radical socialist? You must be alt right then 🤣

But when are you going to go after blackmagic again for not inviting you? I understand this is dpreview week; I dislike dpreview as much as the next person, but this is starting to get a little petty man 🤣

I think there should be a sub forum here for political stuff & I agree that what happened to George Floyd was bullshit (even though this is more about DP review & andrews grudge lol). It is really odd to mix politics and cameras but whatever.
