And for those waiting for their GH5s...some anamorphic footage shot on GH4 I just saw today!.... 1 yeah, the BMMCC has faint vertical lines in the shadows that I figured out how to remove in post. So I just keep it as a preset and throw it on anything I shoot with it now. I wish I had been able to clean up the GH4's smudgy blocking problems but nothing I tried worked. And for me, it just became one of those things that once I was aware of it, I could see it in everything. And truthfully, I kinda enjoy the challenge of figuring out ways to fix a camera's issues in post. I've got presets to remove purple fringing, chromatic aberration from my Kowa anamorphic lens, etc. As long as I can fix it, it's not really an issue for me, you know?

Yes...I understand...and it's really about getting the image to a place you can live with...so it 's not a distraction, but the camera just gets out of your way so you can tell the story...for me, I guess I'm lucky that I like the image LOL...just bought the Leica 12-60...never thought I'd spend that kind of money on a Panny lens!...anyway I saw the footage you shot at the Santa Monica Airport? with the Micro...you made that footage sing!

That video was not representative then, once that's high ISOs domain, much noisy than a cleaner output on less sensitive realm. I haven't found much trouble from 8-bit 4:2:0 when well exposed other than banding, the truly embarrassing hassle to fit low bit rates.

Not sure if it was used incorrectly but definitely not a good advert for it. When I use optical flow in FCPX there are occasions when it just doesn't work, so I just ditch it. All he achieved in using warp stabiliser was to distract from the title of the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbp Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Warp Stabilizer is fantastic, but you really gotta be careful how you use it or it makes things worse, as you said. It's definitely not a get out of jail free card with shakey footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyalinejim Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 +1 for a static camera. If you can make a good composition it's hard to go wrong with this tried and tested approach with a rich pedigree.

webrunner5 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Looks pretty damn good. Nice to see. AF wise. This video on noise also shows 1600 ISO is as far as I would go. No real improvement as far as I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
