The Odyssey7Q will let you record both uncompressed DPX or Prores4444 XQ, so that's your best option for getting the highest possible quality external recording. I think most of the others are limited

I’m not really sure how people expect Pawel to have made it clearer that this is a VERY niche camera, for a VERY niche part of the market? That’s front and centre of how it’s been presented. The form-

If Resolve is having trouble processing/displaying the raw files, I'd look into your Preferences for GPU acceleration. Try flipping between CUDA/OpenCL/Metal (whatever options you have) and see if tha

Ergorig have an "Underslung" attachment, to suspend the camera down low. And it looks decent, however it's pretty pricey for what it does (more than I could justify when I put in my order for one) I t

I think there’s a very simple solution for the problematic highlights in HDR. “Default White”. By default highlights are mapped to something comparable in brightness to 100 IRE in Rec709 (i.e. the sam

An interesting test, thanks Colin. It's a shame about the keyed greenscreeen - I have no doubt that seeing keying artifacts is colouring my judgement of the different cameras. For me, the winner is G.

Nevermind. A fresh (and in hindsight, bloody obvious) combination of search terms yielded this: https://www.arri.com/en/learn-help/learn-help-camera-system/tools/lut-generator Cheers, Mark Kenfield Ci

Hey everyone, I have a vague recollection that the original Rec709 LUT for the Alexa was updated at some point. And now have a director who's insisting on using the original version that Arri created

Leaves swaying in the breeze and gurgling water have always been my go-tos for testing compression. Cheers, Mark Kenfield Cinematographer www.dreamsmiths.com.au mark@... 0400 044 500

I also can't find the link. Would be keen to check it out. Cheers, Mark Kenfield Cinematographer www.dreamsmiths.com.au mark@... 0400 044 500

Personally, I'm just glad that Blackmagic have finally decided to publicly acknowledge the tremendous work one of our own CMLers has contributed to their cameras' development, by naming the new format

The test site appears to be down at the moment. Cheers, Mark Kenfield Cinematographer www.dreamsmiths.com.au mark@... 0400 044 500

Until (literally) anyone comes out with a simple drag-and-drop (and folder structure free) alternative. I highly doubt that Prores is going anywhere. I'm still at a loss as to why not a single codec m

That's the one! Thanks Nick, finding it was beyond my google keywording abilities! Cheers, Mark Kenfield Cinematographer www.dreamsmiths.com.au mark@... 0400 044 500

Hi everyone, I'm trying to track down a link to a HFR software demonstration I saw not too long ago. They'd shot demo material (of dancers in an airplane hangar I think) on an F65 at 120fps. And their

Geoff, Are you finding the LED metering unpredictably with both spot and incident meters? Cheers, Mark Kenfield Cinematographer Melbourne www.dreamsmiths.com.au mark@... 0400 044 500

That's both strange and a little scary Geoff. How were you using the meter? Reading footcandles? Reflected meterings? Or incident readings? Cheers, Mark Kenfield Cinematographer Melbourne www.dreamsmi

It will prove how the different cameras perform under a common, trusted LED that large numbers of us use as key lights all the time (I'd vote for something along the lines of a Skypanel, Litemat or Ar

I'll add a +1 for going by presets. Are there really that many people out there who set their white balances differently? I'd be very surprised if there are (percentage-wise). If the ambient light in

Is there any word on the pricing of the licence yet? Cheers, Mark Kenfield Cinematographer Currently in Perth www.dreamsmiths.com.au mark@... 0400 044 500
