I then use the Ae comps directly in Pr with ingest for creating proxies. It is painless compared to the transcoding mayem (raw2cdng -> Ae -> DNxHD 444 -> Pr) that I used before. I used to do that back in the early days of the bmcc, I think Premiere 5.0. But now I rather convert and use Resolve. I have totally dumped adobe for Final Cut. 1 hour ago, mercer said: The micro has the same height as the pocket, is shorter in length, but deeper. When Ive seen the micro and pocket next to each other I say they are the same size with different shapes. Ad a monitor and the pocket is smaller for sure. Im not sure I would say that the pocket and the bmcc are totally different beasts. I would say they are very very close and can replace one another. Its just a matter of specific needs.

jhnkng Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 A new Pocket camera with the 2.5K sensor would be amazing, but even the existing sensor with a redesigned body to take LP-E6 batteries like the Micro would be a welcome update. Hopefully that means it'll have more space for a bigger heatsink, and 60p. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanhurba Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I know it's cinema, but they should cover event people too. And a BMPCC with 60p and a tilty swively screen would be awesome. Antonis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah screw this talk of making another BMPCC v2.0, just put the BMPCC on another $500 sale again! :-D jhnkng, marcuswolschon, Zak Forsman and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now I rather convert and use Resolve. I have totally dumped adobe for Final Cut. I've dumped everything but After Effects, for which I now pay 23,79 € each month. The reason, since I once bought Motion for 50 bucks and can use Fusion 8 for free? There are quite some advanced tools in AAE, for me the most important is Mocha, which I use for rotoscoping exclusively. That's for compositing of course, and for that you also need to match the colors of the layers, color correction. The way Adobe organizes tools was always terrible and will remain so in general. But fortunately AAE has also Lumetri, which finally compounded everything you really need to perform a simple CC in one effect. If I just needed some motion graphics like animated titles or logos, Motion was actually much better for that. Premiere loses against FCP in just about every respect. What about dynamic links - since I mentioned I use AAE? There is a strict, but really fail-save workflow for that, that even doesn't require the $200 Ximport (f.k.a. Automatic Duck). I make a sloppy pre-comp in my FCP X timeline, complete with keying, rough roto and effects. I make it a compound clip, name it properly and export it as XML, process the file with XtoCC and import that in AAE. None of the effects are recognized there (one shouldn't use transform tools, which are and one must be careful with retiming, because only constant speed changes will translate), but that's how I want it. I queue the render files and replace the compound clips of the same name. Sounds more complicated than it is. 5 hours ago, Ivanhurba said: I know it's cinema, but they should cover event people too.

I even don't find it likely that it will have 4k 10-bit internally, but of course, if it has, I won't object that. Mattias Burling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's just an external screen attached to the BMMCC with better controls. Yeah, I guess i'm dreaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuswolschon Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 On 13.9.2016 at 11:25 AM, Flynn said: The Pocket is in desperate need of a refresh. I don't know their sales figures, but I bet they've sold as many of the Pocket as they have every other camera they've made combined. I totally agree. Perfect picture but with FullHD you can't win anymore in 2017. I desperately hope for an URSA-Cacorder. Larger then the Pocket to include a regular cooling, larger batteries, XLR and maybe even SSDs or M.2 instead of SD-cards. The GH5 with IBIS,internal 4:2:2 10Bit (in 150Mbps IPB or 400Mbps All-I) and Wifi remote control while in 10bit is currently stealing the show. This is 2017. I'm using my Pockets for closeups. They perform great but I don't have a 4K or UHD image to crop+stabilize/track in post like with every other modern camera. So for wide/medium stage shots, run&gun, even documentary they have left the game a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantsin Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Blackmagic's product development fundamentally differs from consumer brands and big camera manufacturers (like Panasonic, Sony and Canon) because BM has to design and build its cameras around off-the-shelf sensors made by independent manufacturers like Fairchild and CMOSIS. In this respect, BM's cameras are very much like other "outsider cameras" including the Aja CION, Axiom Apertus and Digital Bolex. (In fact, BM's first-generation 4K cameras use the same CMOSIS sensor as the CION and the Apertus.) Fortunately, BM still manages to survive in the market while Aja and Bolex have already withdrawn. Neither Fairchild, nor CMOSIS offer a 4K sensor that would fit a renewed Pocket camera and maintain the image quality of the old model. (The sensor built into the 4K Micro Studio Camera has 3[!] stops less dynamic range than the Pocket and the Micro Cinema Camera.) The Fairchild 2.5K sensor built into the first-generation BM Cinema Cameras, on the other hand, needs too much cooling to fit a smaller camera body. So it really doesn't make much sense to speculate on a BM Pocket successor, with a new sensor and improved image, if such a sensor isn't available on the market yet.

There actually are a few global shutter CMOS sensors that can compete but that are still too expensive :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kieley Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I love the image out of the pocket as-is, even if it "only" shoots 1080p. If they re-used the sensor in other camera, all I'd wish for is a camcorder form factor (with an interchangable MFT mount not a built-in zoom) with a fold-out articulating monitor, full-size HDMI and/or SDI, false color, and takes larger Sony, Canon or Panasonic camcorder batteries, instead of DSLR batteries, for improved battery life. It wouldn't be a pocket camera, but they already have the Pocket camera for that. I like the BM doesn't create "MKII" versions of their cameras, they hold more of their value in the used marketplace, as opposed to a DSLR that gets replaced every year or two with a new model.

Cinegain Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 We need conversion kits. Hardware hackers. To take a G7, strip it and fill it with BMPCC internals. :P Ricardo Constantino 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Surely they are thinking about these things, BMPCC would be one of their best sellers I imagine, thus makes sense to corner that market once more (still there's no direct competition for BMPCC really).

froess Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Altought I would like most of the upgrades people have been suggesting ( 60p, 2.5k, better battery life ), I would prefer that blackmagic would make a pocket v2 with good audio! They already have the image quality, I wish they would consider audio quality aswell. A complete package! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josdr Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yes but does the python5000 have that cinematic feel that makes BM unique?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
