Re: New! Sony FDR-AX1 4K Handycam!
I assume they're correcting for the CA electronically like they did with the EX1. Also not sure how much we can judge from a youtube stream, I think they run their 4k at somewhere around 6-8mbits so...

Re: syncing multiple zoom H1s to one camera
I haven't worked with Edius, but in final cut I just throw all the tracks into a single sequence and pluraleyes generally sorts it all out - I've done up to six audio tracks this way.

Re: New Pocket Cam footage
He mentions in the comments on that video that nearly every shot has been stabilized, with most blown up in the 102 -104% range and some as high as 108% - so that's going to add a little softening to...

Here's the thing though - those might have been expensive, but if you buy a Mac Pro when it comes out they'll plug right in and keep working. Your initial investment isn't wasted.

Re: Magi Lantern and RAW workflow doubts

Re: The old primes vs fast zoom thread
I like fast zooms for convenience, but for low light it's tough to beat the really fast primes. 6400 ISO looks a lot worse on video than in stills in my experience, in fact by 3200 in video things...

Re: Magi Lantern and RAW workflow doubts
Sure, but if you don't have the discipline or knowledge you're probably not going to get it right in camera either. If you know what you're doing the post work you do with your footage isn't a 'fix'...

Re: IPB vs ALL-I doubts
MarkII is IPB. I don't think ALL-I brings any real image quality improvement, either in capture or post. It's basically the same codec, just used in a way that is less efficient but also less...

Re: IPB vs ALL-I doubts
Couldn't tell the difference in quality, or in editing? I think they're probably a wash in terms of quality - each has it's own shortcomings. The main difference is that IPB requires more processing...
