Re: Indoor interviews: Lav? Or boomed mic?
I prefer boom audio if the room isn't too noisy. I run a AT4053 on a boom with a fishpole holder just above and in front of the speaker (pointing back at them). If there is any question about noise...

Re: ProRes codec available on Windows
The part in bold above is a serious problem for anyone editing on the PC side of the fence. It won't be a real improvement unless they support containers other than MOV.

Re: ProRes codec available on Windows
FFMPEG is an awesome utility and it does work quite well. It isn't operator friendly unless you use one of the readily available GUIs.
FFMPEG isn't "approved" by any organization so it isn't...

Re: ProRes codec available on Windows
That looks interesting. I wonder if this has been fully blessed by Apple.
One thing to remember with using the MOV wrapper on a Windows machine is Apple has yet to fix the gamma shift bug in...

Re: New PC for...everything.
I don't have liquid cooling on the video card. The GTX670 card I am using isn't that loud. At least the Asus version I have isn't.
Moving the fan contro to the motherboard gave me more control...

Re: New PC for...everything.
I went with liquid cooling on my last two builds. I won't do another air cooled CPU cooler. My i7-3930k runs cool and is practically silent until I crank up the rendering. Even at full tilt it is not...

Re: Status 7/7Q
As an aside and a bit OT, if you have the later versions of MC you can consolidate ProRes as native on a PC. You just can't render it out.

Re: Noisy EX3 shots
CINE4 is better to boost the bottom end which leads to a better image in low light. Noise will be more apparent using that curve. Use it only when necessary.

Re: Noisy EX3 shots
Did you by chance shoot this with CINE4? That gamma curve lifts the dark areas and will make the noise a lot more noticable.
To minimize the look of the noise in the blacks it is best to use a...

Re: Status 7/7Q
I'm OK with either compressed codec. I would prefer DNxHD since I edit in Avid but I can handle either one.
Can you please reference where the delay in the compressed codec was announced well...

Re: 4K Editing Software
Looks like Resolve Light can output up to UHD (3840 x 2160) according to the compare page. Is that close enough?
It can do simple cuts and dissolves out of the box.
