Gee, where has the sense of humor gone around here...  

I wonder if Sony will put S-Cinetone in the A7sIII/H or if they’ll just release a new version of the already weird colors, keeping the tradition of non consistency alive. This matters much more than 8K raw imho.

Sure. It’s all part of the whole career process.
Still, would rather my work be able to pay bills instead of generating more of them. 

I haven't checked the movie so I won't comment on that. 
I say kudos to that man. Investing 700k in his own project is huge. I would argue that investing 10k or 700k on him is the same but it's not. The principle is the same tough. Believing in yourself and finding ways to do your own thing in, with your own small fortune, is not easy. Even if I dislike the movie, that man has my respect. Because we all know that most of that budget is spent on crew, actors, food, expenses, renting and other needs. Thats not "glamorous". It's passion.

I'm more of the Bowfinger school of film economics  
 

Don't want to sound like a dick but what's with the picture covers on youtube? Everybody does the same thing. Funny face and the product smashed in front of it. Is there an agreement on this or just an established trend?

lol no offense taken. I understand. I’ve texted this myself and statistically I get higher click through rate when my face is on the thumbnail as well as when there is a more intense expression. It doesnt translate well here because the image is so large... but on a youtube home feed it can help make your video stand out. 
Correct it works. I’m sorry you hate it. YouTube is filled with a bunch of adhd tweens who just click on the first shiny thing they see. 
Ya it really is. It gives you a lot of extra flexibility for a marginal difference in price.

Yeah, you're right. 

Shit. Almost there. Give a guy an hdmi out and we're good to go. While you see trough the evf, someone else can see on an monitor with the hdmi out. The more expensive model previously released has a fan and is noisy... Hope they dont do that mistake again.

A few stills from a shoot last night all on the Pocket 4K XL and CZ 35mm 2.8. 

Off course, you're right. When the episodes are released, I'll share with everyone 👍

Well, that reflection sounds to me to directly associate to cinemascope versus TV stuff... Strictly narrative dream-like domain opposed to a real window over the world, right in the centre of our living room in the place of the cross of before. The history of the second half of the precedent century we all are.
Food for thought indeed... I see, Portuguese legacy rocks! ; -)

Obrigado @Emanuel 👍
 
I used a sony a7s ii with canon yellow ring lenses. I like the 4:3 aspect ratio and it seemed appropriate for the subject and feel of the documentary. Luckily, filmconvert nitrate was release and I got a few more lessons on resolve so now I'm much happier with the final images.
I did a new test with handbrake and with quality to 15, x265 and medium speed ( was pretty slow ) I got a 3gb files from a 53gb. Much better quality.

Off course you can, why wouldn't you?

Judge away 😄
That was one of my questions about youtube uploading. So it's definitily worth the extra step?

@FranciscoB x264 is a specific set of libraries that encodes h.264 files, it's not an either or. I'm not sure what library Resolve uses under the hood to encode h.264 if you use the internal encoder. You can also use Nvidia's NVENC. To clarify, NVENC and x264 are different algorithms that both end up with an H.264 video. I haven't compared them myself.
In the past, I have seen better results from ffmpeg compared to Resolve when exporting to h.264 and h.265. One thing that I have noticed is that Resolve does much better if you give it a quality preset rather than a max bitrate. Use the dropdown instead of a number and you'll have fewer artifacts even at comparable bitrates.
Yes, you can still get better quality up upscaling to 4k and uploading that instead of HD--but only if the user watches in 4k. I never watch YouTube in 4k so if I was your target audience then it wouldn't make any difference. My phone doesn't even stream 1080p most of the time, and honestly I watch as much on my phone as a PC.

Oh yeah, and another tip to @FranciscoB: If you really want to tune video quality, blow up your video to 4K in Resolve, and export, transcode and upload in 4K because YouTube will play 4K video with higher bitrates/less compression artefacts (even when it's just fake 4K).
(EDIT: @KnightsFan was faster.)

You can read YouTube's upload guidelines here.
YouTube reencodes everything to a very low bitrate (~8mbps for HD). So while you do want to maximize the quality that you upload, keep in mind that viewers watching on YouTube will see worse quality than the file you created. So for example, if you are worried about a quality difference between 50 mbps and 25 mbps on your HD file before uploading, well, that's a moot point since the actual stream will be much lower than either of them.
 
I always upload in H.265. I haven't uploaded much to YouTube in the past year or two, but when I did I couldn't see any benefit or downside between H.264, H.265, and DNxHD uploads. So I picked the one that was easiest for me, which is a high quality H.265 file.

No in crop mode is quite good at whatever framerate... in FF is bad up to 30fps. FF 50, 60 is 16ms... but you lose dpaf.
FF 5.5K or 4k 50,60 good rs no AF
FF 5.5K or 4k 24-30 bad rs, AF
Crop 4k 24-60 good rs, AF
If I don’t need slow motion I mostly shoot 5.5k 24 or 25. If I need slow motion depends if I need AF or not is either 5.5k 60 or 4k crop 60 10bit
I’m mostly tripod or ronin S so the main issue for me is fast pan on tripod but I rarely do. Normal panning following an athlete is not a big issue.
Btw panny at 6k is 28ms so the 4ms is not a huge difference... but here seems the world is coming to an end.
 
You don’t need af or a sport camera just don’t buy it.... you need AF there is not much alternative if any as hybrid at the moment.
Curious to see if the R5 is better or not...

What are your export settings in handbrake?

Use H265 at a much higher setting, if you export properly a H265 file compared to a similar size H264 file will always have higher quality. UNLESS you are using hardware encoding on AMD GPU's or older Nvidia cards, which give awful quality. 
 
This may be your intent, but in reality it will just annoy those who want to watch it on a phone.
I would export without black bars because your video will fit to the largest axis of the screen it's being viewed on.
