Re: Blacks are VERY black with the EOS 5D Mk2 - (or is it me)?

Unfortunately I'm on Avid and haven't worked with the latest version of FC yet.

As a test try one of the free video conversion utilities to convert the 5d files to ProRes and see if you get the...

Re: Blacks are VERY black with the EOS 5D Mk2 - (or is it me)?

This problem is due to the colorspace the camera uses. You are recording in RGB with the Canons which registers black as zero on the luminance scale. When you bring the footage into an editing system...

Re: C300 Discussion

One of the things that I'm looking forward to with this camera is to put pressure on other CMOS camera manufacturers to reduce the rolling shutter artifacts. Canon has certainly set a new high water...

Re: is rendering X10 times the lenght normal with MBL?

Re: 'Hot White' Pixels F3

Mine had a hot pixel that you could see in some video modes (60i vs 24p) but not others. I ran the black balance 3 times in a row as indicated by Sony but that didn't solve the problem. Had to go...

Re: On A Budget? Pix 240 for Sony F3

Which issues are you concerned with Ned?

Re: On A Budget? Pix 240 for Sony F3

I've tested that setup with Media Composer v5 and it works like a champ.

You have to do 2 passes of CC though to get the footage completely graded. The first pass brings the gamma curve and...

Re: PIX240 First Impressions

That was the reason behind the post I started asking for folks to speak up when they had a PIX recorder. To justify a subforum there needs to be a large enough user base to make it useful.

Re: So why should I buy a FS-100?

Well the spec sheet shows support for 4:4:4 so as I posted before I suspect the problem is actually the RGB vs YUV colorspace encoding that is causing the problem.
