Hey! Thanks for your help and advice! Never had a problem with native H264 editing, but in Davinci with Prores and h264 as well. That was either with optical flow activated or too high of a bit rate with Prores HQ f.i, also with many nodes. So it might rather be a power supply related issues much rather than heat issues from GPU or CPU. I´m guessing so, because it doesnt take much time until shut down. Power charge would be a quicker parameter too rise through the roof, much faster than temperature. And finally I checked my power supply. Never did, as I was assuming it was 650W!:) But it´s a 420W, it´s a LC Power LC420H! So 650W would be fine for HD and Davinci? Any monitoring software showing my the complete power consumption of the system, GPU plus CPU? Thanks guys for being so helpful! Hey Sam, didn´t overclock. And, thanks to your advice, I won´t in the future!:)

Hey Nick and Ebrahim, thank you guys for your very profound advice. I will follow it. Thanks!

Hallo Stewart, thank you for your reply and valuable input- makes sense, should be a problem with the Operating System. So how can I "super-uber-totally":) back up my Resolve database? I´ve read, once Resolve 12 is installed all the projects and color presets from version 11 are gone! So that would be still a reason for me to hestiate quiet a bit. If OP is the problem, it seems like a rough case though:)

Hey guys, Yesterday I did some grading to relax- it´s still cold ouside, so nothing better than to enjoy some tea in front of Davinci:) I came across a very underexposed and wrongly white-balanced shot. Filming was done with the Panasonic G6 in Natural all -2 but color at 0. I think, quiet amazing, though some posterization and false color cannot be ignored! So I bet GH4 would be a fantastic camera in many ways and natural is a tested and well received profile.

Hey Stewart! thank you for your answer! Still using V.11.3. Usually using a transcode to Prores LT or HQ. Computer shuts down with HQ just doing playback without any nodes after a little bit of editing. Other than that it shuts down when doing 25% playback speed with optical flow.

Hallo, wouldn´t have assumed a LUT:) Lookin great. Doin some grading with my G6 at the moment. Codec ist quiet robust. Bet the G7 is pretty awesome! Focus lever sounds like a good idea. Wouldn´t assume Christopher Doyle used a focus puller on Chungking Express but on Hero he surely did:)

Hey Mercer, Really like the colors you were able to pick up with the grade, last part seems a little bit dark compared to ungraded material. Grade looks really filmic, rich colors, naturalistic, not LUT mud like:) How did you manage to hold the lens so steady even with focusing? Did you use a speedbooster for a wider angle of view? cheers

Hey guys! My school wants to buy either an URSA min 4.6K, duh:) Or a FS7. What kind of setup do you guys recommend for the FS7: -strong HQ shoulder rig (Zacuto, Lanparte maybe) -EVF -Vmount and battery -tripod plate -follow focus and so on? Asking for a nice setup for cinema shooting, with good quality- price balance. Thank you all for having been so helpful all the time. This is a great place with many very inspiring and super cool people. cheers

Hallo dear community, Davinci is giving me great pleasures and pain. I absolutely enjoy this beautiful freeware programme (Lite Version:) My computer is a nice and cheap setup for HD and Davinci. I7 2600K, 16GB Ram, system SSD, 7200rpm HD, GTX 970. A lot of times my computer all of the sudden shuts down when I´m rendering with some optical flow clips in the timeline. Also shut down appears when I´m messing with 200mbs clips in HD. The same with 4K footage from XC10. Temperature of the Geforce never hits 60 degree Celsius. Help, advice or moral support:) is very much appreciated! This is driving me nuts. No problems with my cheap piece of editing software Videopad I paid 80 euro for. cheers and thanks

Let the fun continue!:) Thanks for the great challenge! I´d say GH1 with a 35mm Cmount lens.

Hallo Ebrahim and everyone, I´ve been searching for a 28-70 zoom with constant F2.8 in FD mount and I found a Sigma one but never had a chance to come across one of these on Ebay. Info on it is very rare to almost none. Anybody got their hands on one of these or knowledge about it? http://allphotolenses.com/lenses/item/c_2084.html# BTW, we did a short with the Canon FD 28mm and a China speedbooster on the G6. Nice setup and great price.

Hey guys! Check out Andy Lee´s post about the footage he shot with the G7 on natural. Looks sick, thick and not thin at all! LX100 might look similar on natural with skillful lighting and grading! Though sensor and lens are not the same. Here is a taste of Andy´s footage.

I felt so smart. Now I feel like a smart ass!:)

Are you kidding me!:) Give us some moving pictures of that footage, some little teaser, Andy! This looks awesome! How did you meter/measure the light within the limited dynamic range of the G7? Is this all your Bourne lens magic?

Lol. Funny as hell! "7DII, pretty clean HD", huhuh!:)

Cool! Can´t wait to see you shoot some beautiful footage with it. Really enjoyed your VLog and C100II shorts and tests. Where did you get that deal on the Odyssey with 1Gig of SSDs? Did you buy used? You gonna forget about the GH4 Assasin combo? Cool! Are you sure about that? Sorry for questioning. Should have done my research maybe! I just really consider you guys my research partners by communicating with one another!:)

Hey, beautiful Trailer, moody, sincere, coming of age intensity and melancholy! Grade looked maybe a little bit stronger towards an orange and teal touch in certain parts. I´d say 7DII, pretty clean HD and nice colors, S35 look.

Hey guys! On the Atomos site is an announcement for a Shogun Firmware Update to version 6.6, for Q1 2016, promising CDNG. One thing to consider is the cost of media. Shogun takes normal SSDs, Odyssey needs media from Convergent Design. cheers

Hey Stab, that was obviously too easy for you:) So maybe someone can pull off something trickier. I really enjoy seeing what´s possible with these 8bit h264 consumer cams. cheers

Hey Jimmy, thanks for your great input. So Sony unlock is needed then. Still a great option with the Shogun, if 10bit is all one is asking for. cheers

Hey guys, thanks a lot for all being so helpful! So, Ebrahim, with Firmware 6.4 Shogun would record 10bit 4K without having to pay Sony for a FS700 4K Firmware update? Not shooting high class cams (yet:) Still wrenching my G6- film grain really helps to dither out some nastiest macroblocking. That FS700 is from my filmschool and needs some new energy put into it. cheers, Marty

Hey, you are true camera lovers!:) Here are the ungraded shots. I graded by eye, so the canon guess is taken as a compliment. It´s a G6, graded in Davinci, lit with one 300w tungsten and a golden reflector. Shot on 3000Kelvin, Natural, all -2, but color at 0. As for the aps c reference, it was shot with a china speedbooster!:) Great guessing, guys! Lens was a Canon FD 28mm lens, F2.8, the dancing shot is a Tokina 11-20 2.8 on another china speedbooster. Hope you liked the grade and thanks for that little fun guessing game. The grain was put on top twice, once for the darks and another one for the highlights. Helped big, big time to make the ugly macroblocking disappear. So G6 to the limits with ISO 1600 and a speedboosted Fstop of around 2.0. Thanks for enjoying and cheers, Marty Exactly, G6! ApsC (through speedboosted lens) is right too, LX100, GH4, Panasonic, Sony, all great guesses. Thanks for the fun, guys!

Well, well.. Wouldnt want to tell you just yet. Unless you got the feeling the right camera has been spotted already, which might be true already:) Here is another one from the same setting, if you still enjoy the little challenge. Don´t wanna put you on the wrong track:)

Hey guys, I would be thrilled, if you would like to guess the camera, this was filmed with. Lens too. Pretty exited about it. Screenshot from the video, please see below. cheers, Marty

This would really be a great opportunity to enter the world of 10bit 4K then In that case- better than selling a FS700 is to keep it and plug it into the Shogun then. Great! Thanks for the advise!
