    Noisy ProRes Footage in Low Light

    yes. to compress 4k down to 100mb/s you pretty much have one option...Noise reduction. (followed by horrid-halo-inducing-aliased sharpening). You also lose a fair amount of color detail. It might be the way to go at night.

    Noisy ProRes Footage in Low Light

    In stretching the DR on the x7, DJI introduced some pretty nasty issues in the deepest shadows (banded noise and cmos smear). Best to stay away from them. You can get good results at 1600...but you better not "underexpose" at 1600. Keep your exposures well to the right and it's not a...

    Gear Report - DJI X7 Tech Evaluation

    Hi Paul, Thanks for the effort on your test. Just a minor correction to your last post. 6k Raw only requires the 240gb CineSSD. Somewhere along the line, DJI dropped that limit, (which I think, is still in the marketing), but I can confirm that you can record 6k CDNG to the 240. Barry Goyette

    uggly red & blue edges Zuiko 25mm with X5S. BUG

    yeah...that's what RAW therapee is design to work with...RAW :-)

    uggly red & blue edges Zuiko 25mm with X5S. BUG

    for now...you can solve it by processing the image in RAW therapee (free raw converter). Whatever profile DJI is including for this lens is unfixable in ACR, but RAW therapy doesn't even see it, so no problem. :-)

    X5S LUTs

    I think you just need to experiment with the various gammas that DJI supplies for h264/265 and see which you like. Unfortunately they seem to change the names of them with each go4 update, but different folks have different likes. I find the D-cinelike gives me a typical "WideDR" look and is the...

    X5S LUTs

    If you're using D-Log with ProRes, we've been getting pretty good results with the stock Arri LogC Rec709 LUT. (I work in FCPX, but Scott Randall has also confirmed it works well in Lumetri). For a little flatter result, The Canon C300mark II Clog to WideDR-Rec709 looks good as well. I'll be if...

    X5S 1080p vs X5 1080p

    Not my footage, but here's some 1080 that a guy on Regroups posted today... looks pretty decent to me (it's youtube, so it hard to tell, but nothing sticks out as being "bad")

    X5S Bitrate Variants

    Horses for Courses. We all have different needs. You seem to imply that because you don't need 4444, then no one does. Apparently Apple wasted a lot of time. Apparently Arri did too, including it on it's cameras like that. Sad. Of course DJI was much smarter, only applying it to a small portion...

    X5S Bitrate Variants

    Someone here. Um, not sure where you acquired that 98% stat. There are very few cameras on the market that shoot ProRes. The vast majority of professional cameras use proprietary codecs of a number of flavors. As for why you would shoot 422 vs 444 vs Raw. ProRes codecs are production codecs...

    X5S Bitrate Variants

    I don't think DJI is doing anything unusual here. The raw rate is the raw rate, and the ProRes Rates are the prores rates. Otherwise they have the dii codec for h.264 h265. This is largely the same as most other manufacturers (Look at canon's options for the C300 mark II and you'll see a similar...
