    Hey some advice please with my IS on my S1 - here it is snatching at 13 secs. My feet are planted on the floor - just my arms moving. I have the S1 and the kit lens in dual mode ( not IS Boost ). With the latest firmware for lens and camera - do you think this is my technique or the camera having issues ?  Thanks

    hard to watch without beeing allowed to ;)

     

  2. 16 worked just fine.

    took 16.1b2 as it is the only one that has the right vlog profile for the xt3.

    i have redone my eiditing, the good point, there's often good in problems, is that i think my new edit is better than the previous one.

    Another ND I'd recommend is the Aurora PowerXND Mark II - also has great hard stops and very easy to change ND strength with no x-pattern or vignetting. A bit more expensive than the Tiffen, but much cheaper than the Polar Pro.

     

    i have the aurora, can't complain about it. left a heliopan for it

    The big question is: What other camera is out there that is like the S1H? I own the S1 myself and it's dynamic range, sharpness and cleanliness is better than any other Sony camera I have ever used. VLog in daylight is stunning. HLG is fantastic in day and night. VLog in low light with blue lights involved?....Uggg!!!....OK, you got me on that one. I can always switch to HLG and get mostly around that problem. But, overall, in my opinion, they only things that compete with these cameras are MUCH more expensive models. For video, no Sony Alpha camera can touch the S1 and S1H.

    If Panasonic could just nail down this smashed VLog blue channel issue with a firmware fix, then BANG!...they have a giant home run on their hands.  

    problem is that it seems there are some issues with yellow as well and in hlg too

    Same thing happened to me. It loaded once and then stopped. I had to load a backup from the previous stable version of resolve. You could submit it as a bug to blackmagic and see what they say.

    where do you submit it ? blackmagic forum ?

    @thephoenix That happened to me for the first few beta versions of 16. I just waited it out for the next beta and I didn't have any more issues. Did you backup your project databse or project before opening in 16.2?

    the weird thing is that i was already working on 16b2 and all was fine.

    didn't backed up yesterday but did it tonight just in case. but it doesn't load :(

  7. major bug for me tonight. i launch resolve 16.2, get to the projects page, select my project, it loads it and then... nothing !! it's just like the program didn't load at all.

    the weird thing is that it worked yesterday and i changed nothing

    problem is i can load another project ?

    is there a way to repair a project ? wtf happened

    I was doing some research into which media to buy for my BMPCC6K and during the intense spreadsheet action something caught my attention.. How do you record Q0 in 6K at 50fps? According to my calculations in the worst case scenario (so less amount of compression which amounts to roughly 2:1 in Q0) the camera generates data in excess of 800MB/s which is way beyond the capabilities of any of the supported media, am i missing something? (not that I have any intention of recording slowmo in Q0 at 6K anytime soon, it was more of a curiosity really) ?

     

     

    watch the video that is up that i posted

    Yes I meant XT-3. One of the issues I'm having with the Z6 is that so much of my work ends up on a 2048x858 Theater Screen at 24 fps. I'm a Theater Manager in Massachusetts and that is the format that we display our preshow and some mini documentaries which is the majority of the content that I create. So currently I'm shooting 4K on my Z6 and have to change the format from 23.967 to 24 for everything I do. Small issue for most people, but annoying for me because I have to do it constantly. (Side note: people defending Canon for leaving it out of their new body, I can never even consider using that camera because of the lack of 23.967.) 

    So the XT-3's internal 2048x1080 24p and good audio is very appealing for my weekly work needs. We'll see how it performs after some testing on my end.

    My main worry is the battery life on the camera. Hated the A7rII's battery and how often that was an issue with it. Thankfully the XT-3 you can power through the USB-C port, so I'm hoping it will be less of an issue. Have 4 paid shoots on top of work related material that I need to shoot in the next two weeks, so I can really see if it fits into my workflow. Really it's about being able to do my job and shoot fast, getting the coverage I need and deliver. Camera brand should be secondary to that, otherwise it is just playing favorites. I would be looking into the panasonics as well, but m43 sensor is to small for my liking (will be using this camera for stills as well) and the new full frame bodies are huge and the glass is lethally expensive on them. 

    indeed yo can power it with a pd power bank and it can last almost all day with a 20000mah, add for example the smallrig powerbank holder on your cage and there you go
