[Resolve 3840 -> 960 width]

I post this here hope thats ok. Is there anyway how you can share a Resolve project with settings and all have find any solution yet.

Just wanted to share since I enjoy editing raw video files and the power of Resolve the more you learn it. In past years I would have had problems with a shot like this directly at the sun at 400mm with bad edges and so on. Happy as always with grading and my wallet is happy that I'am not looking at another more expensive camera then my 8 years old 5D3

Resolve 3840 -> 960 width


Resolve center crop 1:1


Adobe Camera RAW default


Resolve Hue vs Hue Curve


Resolve Hue vs Saturation Curve


Resolve Hue vs Luminance Curve


Will post a video soon, happy to see so much highquality grades lately on the forum and many by shots from 5D3.

Yes and at the shot with the bus at 23 sec its even more noticable. Other then that it looks really good I like the grading and I think I really like the quality of the lenses you are using, it is some old ones? Now I saw you vimeo comment. Good lens quality.

What resolution height and width are you shooting at and what do you upscale to? UHD 3840x2160 in the end?

Yes, I forgot to mention that the strong aliasing in anamorphic was in 1080, in my 5D3. But not as much in 5K on thin and diagonal lines. Also, after a few test, yes unfortunatly I had some severe banding, even with prores 4444. So I guess from now, I'll stick to 3.5K and DNG, as the color are more richer and allows more control over the highlights in davinci.

If you link a video its easier to see and follow

I'm totally convinced by grading in Arri Log C, but the reason I ask is because I was reading over on the MLV RAW on EOS M facebook group that MLVapp has much better debayering and upscaling capabilities than Resolve. So I've done a few comparisons and to my not very well trained eye, it seems like exporting ProRes 422 HQ in a log profile from MLVapp does yield slightly better results, especially if you're upscaling a lot. And of course it makes for smoother playback in Resolve than working with CinemaDNG, which is nice if you're editing in Resolve too before grading.

Curious to hear your thoughts!

I think you can have the same quality in Resolve, but when using Resolve for the first time it has so many settings that's not set right so you have to do that first, I think that's wheres the problem lays. Its much fiddling before you can export your first movie. But when you have learned Resolve and setting it up you are done and can start us it. But yeah MLVapp is set up right from the start so its much faster!

Yeah, you would get so much more comments if the forum was as active as few years ago.
I really like your grading especially then the cars is driving out from the ferry for example, able to show how the "curves" or what it is looks like?
Maybe you could raise the white level from 16200 to 16383 in MLVapp before export DNGs for improved highlights rolloff in Resolve from highest and maybe avoid som pink tones idk. When using Resolve I have seen it makes a difference espasially when using older builds with 15000 white level.



What else to say... I really like the grade, feeling inspired to film something similar with great tones from sky and water, but in 1080p since I'am not that advanced

What bit depth and framerate is this shot at by the way?

Had to start up my desktop pc to watch this on 4k screen. How beautiful this 4k detailing is, it feels like a good looking grain thats generate an image that looks stunning with high detail without close to looking to sharp. Good looking compositions, and that grade dealing with highlight rolloff and very good looking dynamic range that has a perfect contrast and not close to looking flat, the grade is very well excecuted. This is the best ML footage I ever seen. Your workflow from start to finish has everything, from recording settings in camera and post workflow. Thank you for making this short film it was a pure joy to watch!

Cool to see that MLV app CDNG export to Resolve where everything else is done. Thanks for making!

Sorry for that, I just want to give some advice but I think it came out harder in text. But yes my post before that is not necessary against reddercity. But I think it was on topic to talk about 1080p.

Anyways i think you will enjoy R6 yourboylloyd, and i also think you will start using UHD because the filesize is still very small only a quarter of ML RAW 1080p 25fps is. And it looks really good that 10bit.

And who knows you might be the first who do serious overheat tests, because i havent seen that on the internet yet. Good luck.

What are you talking about? Entire productions (Iron Man, HOUSE TV Show, and a lot more)

Besides Anti-aliasing, yes but antialiasing is the only thing I'am suggesting is different and makes a big difference, no edges on object going crazy at anytime how ever you shoot. And on this forum I've havent seen a 5D2 RAW clip that doesnt show those edges when using fullframe. For me atleast I see a big difference in image quality about anti-aliasing between the two.

5D2 owners seams to dislike the 5D3, thats very common on this forum. I dont dislike 5D2 but image quality in fullframe is worse.
The 5D3 came to the thread because topic starter said he likes 1080p. But the big disadvantage between 5D3 is lack of autofocus and IBIS.

Do you read what others write Reddercity?

I have a 5D2 already. There isn't much point in getting a 5D3 when the only thing the 5D3 can do better is anti-aliasing.

Only thing, thats a major thing in image quality, I havent seen one video of 5D2 using fullframe that looks good. I had the 5D2 7 years ago and bought the 5D3, the only thing that is similar is the file size the image quality cant be further apart.

Profiles doesn't effect raw files when you export as DNGs from any app. DNG's is still raw data. Your hole color workflow is inside aftereffects and adobe camera raw inside there.

But about the overheating I haven't seen one proper test on it yet. Hopefully EOSHD will make one when he gets the camera.

This is interesting...

I also realized that I don't really care for 4K as much as a lot of other people do. I wonder how 1080p 24fps does on the R6

If you don't care much about 4k then I would say a 5D3 is a very good choice, if you care more about color and think 1080p is good. IBIS and aucofocus is maybe what you are after but for 1080p 5D3 has a stunning color and image quality. And you will save a lot! of dollars

Yes I agree 10 bit should be enough but Sonys 16-bit RAW is super cool, same 16-bit RAW as from the Sony Venice camera? But yeah iam not a big fan of the price atleast here in Sweden.

About the R6, if you going to buy now or soon I would go for the Sony A7s, but if later I would follow what happens with the overheating issue, it might get solved.

Does EF lens autofocus work on A7sIII? Sounds too good.

If EF lenses doesnt have autofocus on Sony in my perspective its best to trade for Sony lenses. This is my advice on very pricy products.

But A7sIII with Canon overheating is a easy choice for me

Have to say that I think the 170mbit UHD footage looks very good. What a perfect camera.

But yeah the overheating issue is such a bad joke. Maybe you can replace the thermal paste like you do on a PC lol.

Fantastic quality! Awesome work both of you! Really cool that you got card spanning working!

10-bit H264 doesnt even exist, in any camera. H264 is 8-bit only in every camera and encoder.

Yeah hopefully it's good without All-I. I think just having the option of 10bit 422 should be able to make it a netflix approved camera.

Yes shure but 170mbit is still 170mbit, might look good tho lets wait and see. And the R5 is alwayd an option if you is not satisfied with R6. I agree that ibis and dual autofocus is very great

I think its interesting and waiting to see how the R6 170mbit looks like, hopefully it looks good and Sonys A7 series limit on 100 mbit for UHD is a joke. Hopefully R6 and 170mbit is enough and you don't need ALL I as the R5 has.

If you want to edit in Premiere Pro you can also work with a XML, I did that before when Resolve wasnt able to cut.

I would edit in Resolve to, and only use Resolve

Sigma FP and BMPCC 4k/6k doesn't have DPAutoFocus or IBIS or a flip screen. Sigma has no headphonejack BM isn't full frame. These cameras suck in comparison to the R6 except for the write to an SSD feature.

When you use a speedbooster on Pocket 4k the focal lenght is very close at 1.22x so a 35mm EF lens becomes a 42,7mm lens. If you want a flipout screen and IBIS then the R6 is a better buy. But remember that the Pocket 4k and a Viltrox sppedbooster is almost half the price of a Canon R6.

Dont bother with image quality with the 5D2 and 10-bit raw on ML is very noisy and the color isnt as good as 14 or 12 bit.

Thanks guys for the clarity. I'm probably going to pre-order it anyway just because there isn't any better option out there anyway.

Well if you still want raw check out the BMD Pocket 4k with a speedbooster for EF lensen, the most important thing can't be the Canon badge on the camera body,

Thanks, not sure what interpolate settings are but I will look into it.

Anyway here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umdg4QZb_WE&feature=youtu.be

Something is still not 100% correct. But it is my 3rd or 4th video I've ever made and its my first shooting in RAW and exploring RAW. So I am fairly happy with the results.

Critique is encouraged!

Colors looks fantastic and so do movement from gimbal. I like the look!

I checked yesterday how to upscale slow motion footage in ACR but didnt find any solution everything had the same pixel ratio after ACR, I think your best bet is to do the vertical upscale in the debayer process and as early as possible, and check different interpolation settings.

Hope you find a solution I work with Resolve myself and there its no problem to get good quality upscale on slowmotion footage. Hope you are gonna show the video somewhere else because 1080p Youtube is crappy.

Anyway colors and everything else looks fantastic good luck!
