Jimmy, it sounds like an excuse... usually you need the best DR in the low ISO values, as you shoot landscape with harsh sun for example.

Didn't find any real information about Vegas 14 till now, nothing was published by Magix besides what is written in this thread.

GH4 also allows recording 10 bit 4:2:2 from HDMI. It never really got people pointing a real "wow" difference vs the internal 8 bit. So its for Panasonic to show us a real improvement in GH5 picture quality vs the GH4.

It does say 6K only for photo mode, it does not have to be 16:9 ratio. So the calculation part in the article for video is not so relevant.

Well, in Vegas 13, if you have a modern GPU from last 2 years or so, you have to disable it on rendering and use only CPU, or the software will freeze...

The main problem for me is the slow 4K MP4 rendering time, no matter how strong is your CPU or GPU.

Sony didn't realy updated Ver. 13 in the last year or more. Hope Ver. 14 will bring new staff, especially like better 4K rendering speed and support.

I guess not many people here use Sony Vegas...

From many samples I see, the colors look better generally than A7S II, what is your opinion on that Andrew?

Waited for that, thank you!

I compared G7 to A7S II. The Sony had sky banding but the G7 didnt.

Make sure that iResolution and iDynamic are set to off.

The A6300 RS is worse than all other models you have mentioned.

I wonder if Sony can implement the better codec as a firmware upgrade to A7R II / A7S II.

Indeed, looks like rolling shutter, bad.

In Sony UK site, the A6300 specs show PAL+NTSC modes.

Try the BenQ BL2711u, its not expensive. I use also the i1 display pro.

25p will be probably no crop. PAL mode has only 25p, not 30p. http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/interchangeable-lens-cameras/ilce-6300-body-kit/specifications

Joema, Thank you for the long and thorough answer! Ebrahim, I just tested on my computer Vegas 13 vs Premiere Pro CC 2015 (with the last update that came today). Used a 0:46 seconds video (UHD 100mbps from A7S II). After some basic color adjustment, these are the results of final export to H.264 UHD 50Mbps: Premiere took 02:27 minutes, Vagas took 05:47 minutes. But, if I apply LUT, premiere kept same exporting time, and Vegas became twice slower than before!

So Sony Vegas and Premiere show low performance with 4K H.264 editing vs FCP. Now a very good situation for Windows users.

Looks like Final Cut is 4-5 times faster than Premiere in H.264 exporting: http://www.macprovideo.com/hub/final-cut/final-cut-pro-x-vs-adobe-premiere-pro-performance-test

The i7-6700HQ is the strongest cpu today for laptops. I thought that in 2016, we won't have to transcode H.264 files in order to edit them. Funny thing that Apple FCP does that on a much weaker hardware with no problem. I guess Windows software's has to go long way in optimization.

I put my hand on a new MSI computer, with cpu i7-6700HQ + 16GB RAM + Nvidia 970M + SSD Samsung 951 (one of the fastest drives today). I work with Sony Vegas, on H.264 Files from Sony A7S II, Panasonic G7 and Sony RX100M4. To my surprise, encoding time (final rendering) time to MP4 2160p 50Mbps (5 minutes long clip) were cut only to half comparing to an old computer with an Intel i5-750 cpu and GTX 960: down from 02 hours 33 minutes to still long 01 hour and 16 minutes. I thought it will be much faster. Also, even timeline preview does not play smooth when you add LUT and more to the editing (with proxy files). You have to set preview to only 1/4 quality. So, do we need a nuclear station to edit 4K?

It is light flickering, you have to set shutter speed to 1/50 or 1/60 regarding what Electricity frequency is used in your country.

Why not take it to the store? Looks like a hardware problem.
