MaxAperture Films Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hey Luke, any chance you can test out the 4K time lapse mode? I'm curious as to whether the video file can now be saved as 10 bit 4:2:2. That feature alone would save me a ton of work in post. Specifically the 2 fps speed in 4K creative mode/variable frame rate (conformed to 24P playback). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since I can still dream, my ideal camera would be a GH5 with something like the X Trans sensor. you 're right panny modified new cfa from 2*2 to 6*6 that color may like x-trans sensor!!!

liork Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hi Neumann, could you check please what is the bit rate of the H.265 6K Photo file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind it will likely change and the feature isn't even properly working (I get a green screen in all software). 244Mbps in 6K/4:3/30p.

No VFR in any of the 10bit options on the build that I'm working with. Seems like the lower ones should be able to be added. Makes sense to me, I will make a feature request.

Axel Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 On the playback issue: FCP X 10.3.1 on newest, maxed-out iMac plays back all files at full quality. Noticed some stuttering, conformed the framerates using automatic speed, they seemingly ran smoothly, still so with V-Lut and one instance of CC. Checked stop playback when frame skipping occurs (or so, german FCP X), and playback did stop a second or so into the file. XML'd to Resolve: files are missing! Transcoded everything to ProRes then. As expected, no issues then. But note that some stuttering will be normal for files that are thrown into a *desktop project" with differing framerates. On the colors: I am not very enthusiastic about the DR (knowing A7Rii, FS7 and BM footage). Skin looks decent, but the green of the trees doesn't look right. What I would like to see in further shots by Neumann: not V-log, but just a quick comparison of all standard picture profiles (or however Pana calls them). Please make sure sharpness and saturation are dialed down somewhat, disable iDyn and iRes and all that stuff. Sorry, I don't know the right names, it's been a long time since my GH2 experiences. With Sony I'd rather go with "Cine4" (a little flat, looking like C100's C-log) to avoid a lot of problems with weird colors, noise or banding (the latter of course not to be expected in a 10-bit clip). Thanks for the clips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 After effects works well for me ..... make sure your project is set to 16 bit. Was impressed by the highlight/shadow recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying the Panasonic is going to give us color science comparable to Fuji? I read in the Wall Street Journal this morning that McDonalds is going to open a bunch of franchises selling kobe beef burgers, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerocool22 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hey Luke, How do you like the GH5 compared to the A7S II, does it replace the A7SII (except low light, full frame and more DR)? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this: But Panasonic doesn't have film simulations... Fuji was the first Japanese producer of photographic film, while Panasonic started out as a maker of lamp sockets and bicycle lamps.

On screen I had dual IS notifications the whole time? Seemed more stable than lenses that clearly had no IS. I am pretty sure V1 had working IS. That's good to know - I don't have to replace my lenses. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesku Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 21 hours ago, Neumann Films said: Mine starts at ISO 400, 200 isn't even an option. Are you sure GH5 has no iso200 for video? Iso400 would be too noisy and very odd too. Is the GH5 showing all exposure values when using video modes A,S,P and auto iso. Can you check? it takes few seconds.

This is probably just the base ISO for V-Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
