Thanks. The Zoom works well. Its downside is it is very susceptible to handling noise so you have to be careful when using it.

Glad you found it useful.

Thanks, glad you liked it. On average I only use about a third of the footage I actually shoot so have plenty of options when it comes to the edit. For this one shooting was spread over three days, but as I only live around four miles from Hanningfield it was easy. Apart from this there are some other non railway videos on my main channel.

​@@cbsothervideos2898 Very nice, c-log or a standard profile? I like the way you keep some background noises in if it helps tell the story, I do this too. I am not sure how many people really appreciate the effort that goes into creating these short films.

@infinitesky-59 This is shot in C-Log. As I'm now used to grading log footage I don't use anything else. All the sound was recorded at the time of shooting but was added later, and not necessarily over the original shots. This was to cover up the voices of people also walking round. It looks deserted but was far from it.😄

👍

Thank you for the compliments! Yes the C100 mk2 is a great camera and I love using it. I've not seen the need to upgrade to a newer 4k camera because it is so good. I've got to thank DaVinci Resolve too for great post production tools.🙂

It's quite normal to trim shots before placing them in the timeline so there is always enough material to add a transition. There is nothing about Resolve that is weird. It is a professional non linear editor. I would suggest you have a look at the comprehensive training materials provided by Blackmagic.

Agreed. The software looks nice but almost everything I've tried to do so far has led to much head scratching. I thought it might make a good upgrade from my current more simple editor but I'm having second thoughts...

Thanks. When I was looking for music for the video this immediately sounded right.

This is how transitions work in all NLEs. Try this. Start a new project and just import two clips. Place them on the timeline together. Now for a transition to take place you have to have video for it to come from and go to. You need to create this hidden overlap. Assuming the default length of your transitions is 2 seconds do this. Using the trim tool trim a second or more from the end of the first clip. Do the same with the start of the second clip. Now drag the second clip so it snaps to the end of the first clip. You can now apply that transition to the join. I take it you are new to editing and Resolve. Have a look at the free comprehensive training materials from Blackmagic.

It still works. The need for handles to cover the length of the transition hasn't changed. I have used all the versions, including betas, from 14 to the current Studio 19.0b4. I switched to the Studio version with 17.

@@cbsothervideos2898 I know it works. I'm just grumbling because I've gotten it to work right (yes, I consider being able to put a transition between different clips as working right) before now, so this bugs me, since I haven't upgraded from the current version I'm using.

Glad it helps.

Glad it helped.

Never seen that. What is the length of the clip, and what Transition duration is set in Preferences/User/Editing/General Settings?

Thanks Jim. I am planning to make an updated version soon.

Thank you Gilbert. I normally make heritage train videos but thought I would try something else. There is another video, this time of the sea, on my main channel which you will find it here. ruclips.net/user/UKHeritageRailways

It took two visits to find them. They were in a patch of ancient woodland not far from the reservoir.

Yes, we are lucky to have places like this that are unmanaged woodland. The bluebells are growing in what is classed as ancient woodland having first been mapped in 1600 and having had very little human interaction.

Glad it helped. Not getting to grips with the concept of "handles" does not make you an idiot.

It can be a difficult concept to grasp.@@cbsothervideos2898

Thank you very much for the comment. This was inspired by the music, and the fact that I am only 5 miles from Hanningfield. Only one lens was used, the Canon EF-S 18-135mm IS STM. The C100 mk2 is a very capable camera even in 2023. I normally make railway videos. If you switch to my other channel, UK Heritage Railways, the 4 most recent videos were shot with the C100 mk2. I would point out that I shoot in C-Log onto an Atomos Ninja2 in Avid DNxHD 185X, and edit, color grade, and upscale to UHD in DaVinci Resolve Studio. The internal recording to MP4 on the C100 is extremely good as well.

Although this camera looks more balanced with an EF 16-35mm F4 L on the end, those later EF-S lenses are often even better performers and enable Auto Iris which can be useful panning through changing light. I have both the EF-S 18-55mm IS and the EF-S 55-250mm IS and they are both perfectly good lenses on this camera. I was originally going to buy a 70-200mm F4 IS but the much cheaper and longer EF-S lens never ceases to amaze me.

You're welcome. Glad I could help.

Place your mouse curser at the front or end of a clip and the Trim tool will appear. Click and hold down the left mouse button and drag. You can see this in the video at 33 seconds in.

Glad it was helpful.

Glad it helped.

Glad I could help!

When I had my G40 I always shot in Wide DR, but with the C100 i now prefer C-Log. It just seems to give me a bit more control. I usually shoot ProRes 422 on the Atomos as it's a bit kinder to the CPU when editing on my aging PC.🙂

@@cbsothervideos2898 I appreciate your tips and experience. I keep talking to as many members of the C100 cult that I can to see how I can pull more quality - shooting and in post - out of this venerable HD camera. I just wish Canon had allowed external 4K recording - my guess is that they didn't want to cannibalize the sales of their high-end cine cameras. Try as I might I have to concede you just don't get the detail and dynamic range out of this camera compared to the newer 4K cameras no matter what you do. I've always said I'd rather focus on the strengths of this camera rather than it's limitations, but it is showing it age for sure.

Thanks John. That was a lucky catch as I was just testing at the time. The lens is the Canon EF-S 18-135mm zoom.

Sorry for the delay in replying. You are correct about the difference between the Edit and Cut pages. It was not always like this though. Adding a Dissolve in the Edit page automatically adds handles and ripples the timeline accordingly. It only does this for Dissolves, not any other transitions which still require handles. The Cut page still needs handles for the Dissolve function to work.

Glad you enjoyed it

Glad I could help.

Thank you for those kind words. The voice comes from having spent many many years recording professional voice artists.

You're welcome!
