Re: Canon 5D M IV - any good news

Gary, you are correct about the sensor size not changing the lens focal length. Still, it's a common way to communicate the resulting field of view. For instance, the specs for 1/3 and 1/2-inch...

Re: Canon 5D M IV - any good news

It's possible that a 2K HDMI output would be helpful.

First, all of the 4K pixels will be available to the signal processing chip. That means that it can do high-quality down scaling, rather than...

Re: Canon 5D M IV - any good news

I haven't used the 5D4 yet, but here are some things we can expect for its 4K video.

1) 4K is windowed with a 1.75 multiplier. So a 50mm lens becomes 87.5mm. The 16-35mm lens becomes 28-61mm. A...

Re: Air Pods

You could confirm your workflow with a standard pair of ear pods. However, that provides just one mic input. I don't know if the Air Pods send two discrete signals to apps. My guess is that they send...

Re: Is there a new cheap updated switcher like the Atem Television Studio?

The Decimator is a great tip as a companion to the Roland switcher. When feeding a 1080 projector it might not be needed, but if anything changes from the expected laptop/projector setup, it could...

Re: Canon C700

Nice vid. I had previously missed that there are (at least) two versions, one with rolling shutter and the other global.

Re: How to view 4K home videos on tv?

Many TVs can show images and videos from a USB stick. In general, they just show the files, you choose the one you want, and it plays. Some handle the file structure. Others are limited to the root...

Re: Canon USA reveals EOS 5D Mk. IV with 4K, new L-Series Lenses

Thanks, Noa. I've played around with a few cameras with peaking at trade shows, and each time I felt that I could do better by eye and that the peaking actually obscured the details that I wanted in...

Re: Canon USA reveals EOS 5D Mk. IV with 4K, new L-Series Lenses

Speaking of the Shogun, I wonder how well this will work with the 5D4?

I expect that the HDMI will have a clean video output, given that this is true on the 5D3 and its competitors.

The open...

Re: Canon USA reveals EOS 5D Mk. IV with 4K, new L-Series Lenses

Coming from the Mark II, I have no doubt that the improvement will be significant for me. A lot happens in eight years!

Oh yeah, the new iPhone 7 will be announced on Sept 7th. My iPhone 5 has one...

Re: Canon USA reveals EOS 5D Mk. IV with 4K, new L-Series Lenses

I'm not buying right away. It's not for my business and I'm doing a major remodel on the house right now. And I just replaced my 20 year only riding mower with a new Toro Zero Turn. The question...

Re: Canon USA reveals EOS 5D Mk. IV with 4K, new L-Series Lenses

Marketing aside, they offered real-world use cases that make sense. As I don't use strobes, the feature would work for me. It's all about hit rate. With handheld macro, it's hard to get that perfect...

Re: Canon USA reveals EOS 5D Mk. IV with 4K, new L-Series Lenses

True. But it won't do stills.

Yes, for the video only shooter, get the video cam. For the hybrid shooter who can put up with some headaches to get great end results for photos and stills on a...

Re: Canon USA reveals EOS 5D Mk. IV with 4K, new L-Series Lenses

For me, the price of an FSx or C300 isn't an option. Video shooting isn't my full time gig.

Regarding 4K, 4K itself is not the point. 4K allows a high res DSLR shoot clean video with the native...

Re: Canon USA reveals EOS 5D Mk. IV with 4K, new L-Series Lenses

In my case, the interest is in efficient use of cash. For $3,500 one gets a world class stills camera. If you can get (near) world class video in the same package and same lenses, that's a win. Yeah,...

Re: New and need help for son with Autism

Brian makes some good points about NLEs. You can download trial versions and test them out for free on your current computer(s). As mentioned, the OS decision narrows the available choices.

Re: Canon USA reveals EOS 5D Mk. IV with 4K, new L-Series Lenses

Apparently, there are ten speed options for rack focus. In addition, it's now smart enough to ignore objects moving through the frame (such as a car driving between camera and subject) and the...

Re: Canon USA reveals EOS 5D Mk. IV with 4K, new L-Series Lenses

I went through the math on the crop factor, assuming an exact 30.4 MP, 3:2, 36x24mm sensor. The actual sensor might vary.

If you just look at the width of the 4096x2160 4K image, it's 1/1.65 of...

Re: Canon USA reveals EOS 5D Mk. IV with 4K, new L-Series Lenses

Excellent. Hopefully, HD (with HDR) will be crisp.

I'm watching the B&H panel live. It seems that HDR is a dual-exposure solution that blends 60 fps to create a 30 fps result. So this is more of a...

Re: Canon USA reveals EOS 5D Mk. IV with 4K, new L-Series Lenses

I was right about windowed 4K. (And DPAF, but that was a no-brainer.) Windowed 4K is the cleanest way to get alias-free video from a DSLR. Unlike the 5D3, no digital filtering is needed and the...

Re: New and need help for son with Autism

Another thought for editing: It can be nice to have two monitors. One monitor shows the controls while the other shows full screen video.

In Vegas, this is quite easy to set up. (I've used After...

Re: New and need help for son with Autism

Another nice thing about Vegas is that it's quite format independent.

In some NLE's you need to configure the format of the project and/or timeline up front to get the expected behavior. In Vegas,...

Re: New and need help for son with Autism

Given Windows, I recommend trying out VEGAS Movie Studio 13 Platinum for $79. You might consider stepping up to VEGAS Movie Studio 13 Suite for $139. Frankly, I don't think that the extra plug ins...

Re: New and need help for son with Autism

I agree, FCP on the Mac and Vegas on the PC. I mainly use Vegas Pro, which is quite powerful. It's designed for single users, rather than teams, and it follows standard Windows conventions, so there...
