Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 30, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 30, 2015 Popular pro transcoding software EditReady now supports the Samsung NX1.This is my favourite transcoding solution, so great to see H.265 support.Read the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyger11 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Ah, Mac-only? That's a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewcelia Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Brilliant app. Use it to circumvent my biggest gripe with my A7s, the filename reset every time I format the card. Using EditReady to wrap the files and batch rename them has made my workflow a ton better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neosushi Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks Andrew !Any chance you can compare it against iffmpeg (with last update) ??Thanks again Mr.Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Blue Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Andrew, How do you see that compare with Iffmpeg (quality, speed and file sizes)? For me it's a little bit expensive considering that Iffmepg costs 17 dollars and maybe there is not much difference between 'em. Thank you!!!!

johnmartin_34 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm having trouble transcoding 1080p H265 files from my NX1, is there somethingI'm missing. I just bought the damn software. It wont even let me view the videoand when it transcodes it shoots out a green screen with audio only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 31, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2015 Is it just me, or does EditReady make the image more contrasty / punchy?Compared to.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redspear Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 What are your specs?MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)2,5 Ghz Intel Core i/16 Gb DDR3 RAMNvidia GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB It also can't convert the ProRes back to H265. Maybe this is not important for all but after editing my videos in ProRes UHD, I convert them to H265 to play it back on my 4K LG TV that supports natively h265.

Caleb Genheimer Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm really liking my NX1, but i don't really feel like I'm maximizing its potential, especially in terms of DR and color. On just standard profiles, it looks great right out of the cam, but I haven't found a good flat setting yet. The colors seem to get messed up to my eyes in Gamma DR. Do these various converters deal with color differently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm really liking my NX1, but i don't really feel like I'm maximizing its potential, especially in terms of DR and color. On just standard profiles, it looks great right out of the cam, but I haven't found a good flat setting yet. The colors seem to get messed up to my eyes in Gamma DR. Do these various converters deal with color differently?For ffmpeg-based transcoders, there's a bug in ffmpeg and ProRes: it appears anything > 1080p gets marked as bt601 (instead of rec709) and the resulting incorrect transform(s) change the color and gamma. I tried various workarounds when developing Photon however non of them worked (ProRes mode 1 in Photon has the least color shift vs. mode 2). Thus, I included high-bitrate H.264 420 8-bit as well as H.264 10-bit 422 which preserve color much better and should be visually equivalent to ProRes, especially when coming from H.265 8-bit 420. 10-bit 422 ALL-I H.264 is pretty much the same as ProRes (a form of MJPEG in a sense: however H.264 ALL-I likely has more advanced macroblock handling (variable sizes, quality), which can provide higher quality but is more expensive to decode vs. ProRes, which is very fast (even faster than vanilla MJPEG)).

majoraxis Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 @ Caleb Genheimer Try the "calm" picture profile and adjust the colors so that they look right in camera and not so washed out. I tweaked the calm profiles's RGB settings and Hue to get the color back into balance. I wouldn't call it flat but out of the color profiles, I would try tweaking "calm" or "standard" to taste if you do not like Gamma DR, which has its place but is not the end all be all of picture profiles.

jcs Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Top is clipping the blacks heavily. Based on your prior comments, ER top, IF bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Yeah, top image is iFFmpeg — lower image is EditReady. Your top image is named: EditReady.jpg.d7b9435857e491918307a0beea52aae8.jpgand the bottom image is: iFFmpeg.jpg.d89ba4bd239a8061c664c55e0d1c76fb.jpgUnless something got mixed up, the iFFMPEG version has a lot more shadow information (and the EditReady version has severely clipped the blacks). I use FFMPEG extensively, using both ProRes modes, and haven't seen black clipping like that (there are color shift issues with 4K material, however). You might try exporting to H.264 in both EditReady and iFFMPEG and see the difference from ProRes (H.264 runs really fast in FFMPEG). 175-225Mb/s H.264 should be OK for editing coming from 100Mb/s H.265 (nothing really lost as both are 420 8-bit).

neosushi Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'm not sure if it has been mentioned in this post, but Edit ready is also based on FFMpeg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
