As someone who works in production, I've seen the ups and downs of shooting RAW 4k/ 6k footage. On the one hand, it's clean and perfect for post editing. But on the other, you have to deal with storage and a strenuous work flow. Both cost you time and money. I personally think, if it's shot right, then you don't need this black hole of data; you can easily work with compressed footage and make it look just as good. Since these are mirrorless cameras, most of the time, you're shooting something that will end up on RUclips and watched on a mobile phone. Most 'film makers' don't know enough about real colour grading and they certainly don't shoot anything that requires a lot of post editing. 8-bit, 4k is still ideal.
F I fee ya, man. I’m in the same boat. Was looking to get a new MacBook, but I might hold off on the new ARM chip MacBooks until next year. They might be buggy, imo. Also, it’s not known whether they’ll be able to use Bootcamp, which I...try to use on my Air. I can get things done! If I move my cursor veeeery slowly. Lol So I think I’ll get a 2015/16 used MacBook.
I use RAW in my C200 all the time. Its brilliant! When the camera came out, there was allot of negativity towards it but with RAW becoming more and more common, I can't help but feel that the C200 deserves a bit of attention again. I love mine, its brilliant!
Makes sense. NR is a bioch . Major crashes. Edit all cuts, audio,then titles/generators,colorgrade,then noise reduction but drag to the top,render. Make sure to set to optimized media before render for export. To add all folders in one spot on import. NOTE TO SELF. GREAT VID !THANK YOU FOR SHARING
For most people it will be some time until they consider using RAW. For pics its easy to set RAW+JPEG, use the JPEGs and go back to a RAW if you really need to. Or, edit the RAWs and have JPEGs for convenience. But the RAW file sizes for video are difficult to process, yet. Don't see anyone recording their new born with it anytime soon.
if you think free Davinci kicks premiers butt in rendering, try premium version man! :))) Premium renders using GPU, so it will be like 4x faster even compared to Xenon CPU that I have.
As long as you get the white balance right 10 bit log (which the R6 has) can get you fairly similar results to raw. There’s always hope for magic lantern to do their thing.
No raw, no histogram while recording, constant overheating, no touch AF when using the Atomos, and no 4k crop option. I’ve given up on the R6 for a proper video camera. Great backup or if the client wants Canon.
Great Video, Me personally I use for a while dng/raw formats is straight forward with adobe soft just open as camera raw sequence and then I do all texture,clarity and denoiser compress highlights and balance shadows is really cool and easy. for me.
Please try the RAW video of the Canon EOS M with Magic Lantern, it will definitely be a funny video. The EOS M also only costs $100 😂 (by the way it is internal RAW video with up to 48fps)
Kai, have you or would you consider testing out the Sigma fp? RAW out to an SSD directly, and it now supports ProRes RAW out to your Atomos recorder. Would be interesting to see how it compares to the Panasonic S1H.
well yes I have the drone footage too but I'm not really using the canon much now as have the iPhone 13 pro max also which I use as video screen record during drone footage
Been shooting lossless raw 12bit for 3 years now. Only 1080p but hella huge files. Lovely as there is zero compression loss. But it's lossless compressed.
@@ryanfeller5765 sadly you need a proper lot scene to really make use of the raw camera. A phone would do better in a challenging environment with all the automatic and adaptive features. And resolution shows up on bigger screens
You really don't. An Arri Alexa 35 has 17 stops of actual dynamic range. A phone camera might have 8-10 or something. Plus this is bigger, no HDR. You have so much more room to post process the Arri footage to way overpower the phone. Phones aren't black magic voodoo boxes, they're still limited by their sensor no matter how much they try to fake it.
Its not whether a camera can shoot RAW or not these days, there are many that can at any price point. Its hard drives that keep me out of RAW. I love HLG! Get they dynamic range benefits with none of the post fuss. And its higher bit depth still give you room to move things around.
hi kai.i have a canon 760d at moment.i shoot lot drone footage on my mini 2 and mavic air 2.i first saw u tryin mavic air by beloved Boris.sold him now.great drone too.do you think mirrorless cameras better for video footage could sell my 760d perhaps.steve
Fully agree, I'm so fed up of this megapixel race - 8k seems the thing now, as I'm still waiting for a real decent FHD camera (donwnsampled, no line skipping, beefy 10 bit codec)...
@@professionalpotato4764 For real pro work, you might need 4k, yes. But for youtube a REAL good FHD should do the trick easily. C100 mkII does NOT shoot 4k, for example - check some footage here and judge yourself... the problem is more that even higher end DSLRs or mirrorless achieve FHD vial line skipping as of now - to avoid that, you have to invest in a Cinema camera...
@@professionalpotato4764 It seems Sony will finally offer downsampled FHD with the new 7s to come, and hopefully the R5 / R6 FHD quality is better, too - didn't see any footage yet. Problem with 4k or even 8k is you need huge storage capacity, and a lot of computing power to handle it - decent FHD out of the camera is much easier to digest in post...
The Arri Alexa isn't 4k. And yet it's a better camera than most. Really, only Arri's better cameras compete with it. RED chases spec numbers more (and fibs a bit) and Arri is just good and works, their numbers are lenient.
4K is approaching the limit of human vision. There have been a handful of 4K phones but most are 1440p. Most monitors are 4K except once you get past 27” where that pixel density starts to lower. And since TVs are so far away you can even get away with 1080p on
@@EasttSideCustomZ and a jaw drop:D I was watching the stream and the guy was so calm and seemingly unexcited while he was dropping bombs regarding the characteristics of the camera while my jaw was dropping lower and lower, lol.

cinIALVEspO w really depends on what you are doing. When I’m editing video I push the fans to the Max right away. The keyboard gets hot but not crazy hot.
My laptop finds it hard to handle the 1080p 25p from the a7 and I have to play the footage back outside of the editing software to see where to cut (for some reason it plays smoothly outside of premiere hmmmmmm). That means until I get £500 I'm not gonna get anything better and I am definitely getting a pc instead of a laptop!
If you have a Mac, try FCPX as it's far more hardware efficient. If Windows, maybe try Da Vinci Resolve. That's what I prefer on my stronger desktop. On my Macbook I prefer FCPX. Also, try making lower quality proxy files to edit from, it'll give your CPU a break.

6:31 "it's just so much more convenient to have an all-in-one package that shoots RAW" - exactly right.

Also, if the internal raw recording on ZCam was the perfect solution, why did they just release HDMI RAW output to Atomos recorders?
the bottom line is this: will your customer or video viewer ever notice any difference? The answer is a definitive NO :) So why bother with more work, larger files etc

- increases video quality
- sees outlying facial hair on kai
- decreases video quality
The "Upgrade/Fuck Go Back" meme is real with photography.
