What am I doing wrong - S1H and Atomos Ninja V

Hi all,

Have been very happy with my S1H for my MTB footage. Run and gun, VLOG and 10 Bit paired with IBIS have been a great combo.

I just started using the Atomos Ninja V, and I seem to be getting clipped, unrecoverable highlights and its destroying my footage. I updated my Atomos and S1H to the latest firmware recently and have been using the new 'Legal' range toggle (as I read I should be).

I am exposing just as I would have done that has been successful in the past. But most of my footage from the Atomos has this weird highlight clipping

Settings:

S1H - Vlog, manual everything, updated to latest firmware

Atomos - Latest FW, legalise option that was just added selected.

I'm not amazing on camera formats and settings, but between these 2 updates, somthing has happened and I cant work it out! Did I just totally screw up my VLOG exposure? 

 

Thanks in advance,

Rob.

Is that mountain bike an E-bike?

If it's 10bit footage the luma range should not be 0-255.

I would check to see if it is a problem with the actual recording & Ninja V, or if it is a problem with FCPX.

Try downloading the free version of Resolve and see if that fixes the footage.

If it's still bust, it means the issue is on the camera side not the NLE side.

Yeah, thats an ebike 🙂

Thanks, seems it was an issue with some settings on the `atoms and also I'd overexposed a but on the cam.

I did manage to rescue a bit. No one noticed in the final YouTube video!

Which model of e-bike? How is the battery so small - part of the frame?

Its a Mondraker. The battery is indeed integrated into the frame. 

Here's the finished video that I was working on that shows it in a bit more detail:
