RX10 II (Slog2) + Davinci Resolve 12 - Gig Recording

[Paulo]

Here's one of my results with the RX10 II and Davinci Resolve 12 (Win64).

*******************************

Source: 4K Slog2.

Colour graded (with LUT) and exported to h264 1080p (15.000 kbps).

*******************************

For the audio, I used a RODE Stereo Videomic Pro. It records LPCM automatically, which is quite interesting. The camera also seems to automatically adjust the audio level.

I did some 4K exports before, but as it's mpeg4 (the free version won't allow me to export 4K in h264), the blacks are simply awful on YouTube and nothing like what I saw on Resolve's preview.

Exporting to h264 yields correct blacks, so I decided to stick with 1080p.

It's a shame, because watching the files (even the YouTube downloaded versions) back on MPC-HC, the picture seems quite good to my taste.

*******************************

Exposure settings:

25 fps - 1/50s - ISO 3200 (+2.0 E.V. showing on the viewfinder).

I found that the MPC-HC is the best player to play these files back (compared to what's seen on Resolve's preview window).

 

P.S.: YouTube degrades the IQ quite a bit.
