Thanks for this video, very helpful.
Can you please confirm if the video file breaks in the footage you're talking about is specifically to do with the Nikon system?
@6:25 You mention that every 12.5 minutes there is a break/cut in the footage and creates separate files. Is that to do with the Nikon camera recording to internal SD, or is this break happening when recording in H.265 on the SSD on the Ninja??
Seems odd if the later and a real pain if doing multi cam long form interview / corporate work. This is in my opinion one of the main reasons why you'd want H.265, long form recording without needing expensive large media (CFexpress etc).
Any clarification would be amazing! Thanks again for creating this video :)
Thanks for asking brassmonkey. It’s been bothering me as well… I had not formatted the drive since the update, and decided to do so In order to give you a solid answer. It will record h265 LQ without a problem longer than mentioned now that I have formatted the drive. It’s also good in the other formats. Just format your drive and it will record endlessly. 🥃🥃
@@Aperture35 that's a relief to know! thanks you again! Happy shooting! :D
🥃🥃
If you drive is in FAT format, it will cut the files in smaller chunks (filesystem limitation). If you format with ExFAT system, it will give single long file.
@@karamveersingh3417 But usually you should let the Atomos format the drive, no? Did you guys ever get this fixed?
I expected to see more reviews of the Atomos h.265 codec on RUclips, but there aren't many. Thanks for this very thorough review!
Thank you for watching 🥃🥃😀
Great info! I was also waiting for this to launch and I've got to say that I'm happy with the footage quality and file sizes, but I will stress that you need a powerful CPU to edit these files without using proxies. I pulled the footage into resolve and found that this codec is very CPU heavy, even if you have great GPU to support, it wont matter so buyer beware. I have an i7 10700K on my desktop and could play quarter resolution in resolve with a few dropped frames but the CPU was running close to 100% most of the time. I think an i9 10900K and up will give you a good experience for real time editing.
Very true… I found out that my computer couldn’t play in real time either, but I formatted the SSD in the ninja and then I recorded again and files didn’t cut anymore and it play at full res in premiere beta on my laptop. Yes CPU and GPU stress go way up so beware. I’m using i7 10750H with RTX2700 with MaxQ
You just need a computer designed for it. I have a M1 MacBook Pro and editing my Canon R6 H265 files is a breeze! I literally drag my 4k files, no transcoding, no proxies in fcpx and my edits just fly! I was really eager on the Ninja V's implementation of h265 because it's such a nice and compressed codec which I love to work with In my computer!
You got me intrigued bro. Which h265 are you using. LQ MQ or HQ?…
10th Gen CPUs don't have H.265 422 encoders/decoders (they only have 420). That's why. So, either use 4:2:0 encoding or 11th or 12th Gen Intel CPU.
When playing back on the Ninja you can tell the difference between the file formats from the icon on the left of the file name. It says HEVC instead of ProRes. Cheers for a good review.
Yes, you are right Austin, there are icons for the formats in which you recorded. But you can’t tell which type of format variation is used at all, LQ, Hq, ProRes HQ, ProRes LT…. That’s needs to be fixed and addressed now with many options available
By the way, when I said format types, I mainly referred to when files are on computer… on your computer its a guessing game. So thank you for allowing to clarify that at least🥃🥃
Very helpful, thanks mate!
Thank you for the feedback! 🥃🥃
This codec update should be for free. They didn't invent the codec its just compatible with ninja products
Very true my friend. I agree with you. It’s just a way to sucker you into more cash. 🥃🥃
It's *because* they didn't invent the codec that they have to charge for it, it requires a license to use.
I had no idea that there was a fee to use. In fact h265 has a 3 patent pool. Which means you have to pay more to use different tares of it. Atomos is using all three I believe, but don’t quote me on that. I just did some research on this patent…
But there is something called AV1, which is completely free and at par with h265. That would have been a better option as it plays in any player.
the drop frame and split files was a bug, the fix is in v10.67.1, I could record in one single file for 2 hours so far
Most of the time the inability to record long files was due to not formatting the drive. But maybe 67.1 fixed it… but formatting the drive worked for me to record longer.
@@Aperture35 formatting the drive is an inherent issue of the whole system, the issue I had was only happening on H265 and that's the one that the patch fixed
@@Aperture35 btw thanks for this video, subbed to learn more from you
Thanks bro and welcome onboard!… I hope it was fixed although, the way they mention it is not how the issue happens with me… but if it was address.. sweet!
Nice video, thanks!
Thanks Barry! And Happy Holidays ☕️
I'm happy with Prores 422 HQ
If comparing the sizes and what works best… ProRes LT would be at par with h265HQ, but runs better on any NLE than this clunky h265 version they have. Unless u use LQ… it’s not friendly.
I downloaded your clips of the H265 in HQ an LQ. Windows shows the LQ at data rate of 30,573kbps and the HQ at 286,926kbps.
I never trust windows bitrate estimates. I always do the math. And go based on that. 😁
Oh my GOD!when I updated theH265. power off. When I try it again.it shows Invalid Activation Token Detected. Features already installed what can I do.
Make sure you redownload the token and make sure u have firmware 1065 installed
Thanks for this vid! Could you upload some sample videos? Even like 2s or something. I wonder if my setup will handle 265 files smoothly before I spend a 100 bucks.
Thanks for the request Stanislaw. I have uploaded samples. Please check the description in video
I was tracking along until the end when you were summarizing who this would be for and you said that if you did not have an ALL-I, this would be a good fit. Can you explain why you are saying this? Are you suggesting that if you have ALL-I you would be better off using that and doing some transcoding to another format to reduce your file sizes? I was thinking that the big benefit for H.265 was the file size reduction and ALL-I on my camera is really large. I appreciate the effort involved in putting this together. It provides some helpful insights. Thanks
Hello Chris, at time of making this video I was in the honeymoon phase with this codec. That should tell you enough.
Full disclosure now, a viewer brought to my attention that the file All-i file sizes are at par with ProRes Lt when capturing 10bit 422 log… therefore, I would say that, ProRes Lt is a way better option than All-I.
If you are doing it for the compresión, than All-i is pointless, as the files are large as you said.
medium quality would be the reason why to purchase this, but then U have to deal with proxies.
That leaves LQ and that is at par with a proxy in size and honestly it isn’t bad (check out my tethertools video from a few days ago, it was shot in LQ).
So, based on all these, I would say $99 is way too much if you already have the ability within camera to capture, and coder within camera usually plays very well within premiere.
So either stick with your cameras codec or use ProRes LT to capture your footage.
One last thing, if you are purchasing this to capture 4k60p in MQ or LQ, thus far it doesn’t work or doesn’t work properly. Needs a firmware upgrade. Read Atomos ninja v firmware 10.67.1 notes
@@Aperture35 Thank u for your answer. It was very useful for me. Thank u！
Thanks for the video.
One question tough.. Do you have any idea how the h265 compression handles the legalized / full range tag in the metadata?
Because an old problem with the Ninjia V has always been the fact that the Nles don't recognize automatically the full range output of the Prores or DNx formats, creating confusion and under optimal results during editing (that's why Atomos in the end created that patch that is the legalized option, this is anyway only a walk around that don't really solve entirely the problem).
I would be interested in this recent upgrade, but this point would be an important selling factor for me.
Thanks again for your reply and keep on with good works!
Let me look into it… I remember playing with the legalizing toggle switch and seeing what the recording would look like. But I never took it to premiere, I would just play it back in the ninja… I’ll get back to you 😁🥃
Where would I find the legalized info in premiere metadata?… I don’t see anything. But file does have less contrast when playing in legal mode… lumetri is pushing the levels to be within 0-100, but legalized black is 16 I believe, which this isn’t doing.
@@Aperture35 Thanks for the reply.
So at first I leave you the link of the Gerald Und video that you probably may already know but it's a good recap of useful informations about it :)
ruclips.net/video/kSZ4WGsKLAY/видео.html
@@Aperture35 Second point.. I don't use Premiere, but for a 10bit file the legal levels are 64 I believe, while 16 is for 8bit material.
The fact that the video is legalized or not mat be a bit tricky to find out as I believe it all start to be a problem of missing information into the metadata of the Prores or DNx files or some kind of incompatibility between those metadata and the NLEs..
Great video! I’ve been looking for this infos for quite a bit! Thanks for sharing it!
Do you still think the same in 2023? I’m wondering if the ProRes LT might accomplish the same result as h265 HQ perhaps? While allowing a better workflow.
There’s some mixed reviews online as some say that LT doesn’t produce a very nice image quality 🤷♂️
Do you have any experience with that? Thanks :-)
Thanks you,
There are many people that just don’t understand or don’t know how to use ProRes… it’s the best thing there is and compatible with all NLE’s… so, unlike l h265, where the NLE has to work hard to decompress, ProRes just works.
I know u are speaking about ProRes LT, therefore I asume u are using Log. Which I would capture either in cam or ninja. Do not buy the h265 pack for ninja, it’s a waste of money and pointless. Plus both ProRes LT and H265M are about the same size, where as h265H is extremely heavy on NLE and very hard to edit and there isn’t any benefit in gain of color, tonality, exposure or sound. Your call as to what you would like to use. I choose ProResLt.
I have received the Ninja V few days ago and tried it out with ProRes LT and man, my 2019 MacBook Pro was crying out of happiness. it was so smooth I believe I am never going back to h265.
perhaps the size is a tad bigger but well worth the extra mb!
thanks for the reply and again, it was a great video!
@@Aperture35
@@Aperture35 Can you select in the atomos manually at what bitrate you want to record ? Lets say 1080p at 60000 or 4k at 100000 ?
You can only capture what the camera can put out. If its limit is 4k30p, that’s the best it can do. All capture abilities are determine by the cam settings
Can you record h265 with while using atomx cast?
Yes, only if u purchased it. Otherwise better to use ProRes LT. Same bitrate but better quality.
U just can’t record Log or Raw when trying to record from the AtomX Cast.
Thanks for the review. I'm not sure if you can answer this question, but would the Ninja V allow you record on the Z6II in H.265 ProRes (NOT RAW) without having had the Nikon "RAW unlock" service performed on the camera? In other words an "out of the box" Z6II and a Ninja V for H.265 recording. Much appreciated, thank you!
Raw coder is not required for anything else other than ProRes Raw and BRAW. Out of the box all Nikon Z cams can export out of the hdmi 8bit video. How you want to capture that is up to you. The ninja at that level allows to capture that in ProRes 422 and DNxHR… if you want to capture that in h265, you just have to buy the codec.
Now only the z6(II) and Z7(II) cams can export video in 10bit LOG 422. And that can be capture as well in all codecs mentioned.
My honest opinion here. Although the codec is decent, it is very much a headache if you want to capture anything other than LQ. You will require proxies to edit. time consuming while ProRes is a much easier codec to work with as soon you plug it into your system.
H265 just makes small files to later on archive…
@@Aperture35 Thanks for the prompt reply... OK, I mistakingly thought the Ninja wouldn't record anything from the Z6II without the RAW being unlocked! Thanks for clarifying that. So out of the box I can record ProRes 422 8-bit on the Ninja V? Would the quality recorded on the Ninja be better than the 144Mbps (4k) or 28Mbps (1080P) that the camera records with internally to the SD? Thanks again.
U can record to the ninja 8bit and 10bit. 10bit422 LOG. Which will need the LUT from Nikon to be used or any other Lut you would like.
If you are only recording 8bit, in camera is good enough, you won’t see a difference in quality. Use ninja to record 10bit Log. Or to monitor what you are doing or for redundancy (Record in 8bit in camera and on ninja) as backup.
one thing is not clear to me. What if the camera is 8 bit? I have a sony a7s2 .... will it record 10 bit 422? If not, what benefits would I have? Nothing?
The h265 codec can only record what it’s fed. Just cuz you have an 8oz drink and you pour it into a 10oz cup doesn’t make it 10oz. So if you think about it from that aspect of view. It will make sense.
You would want to buy this codec if:
- your camera can’t record beyond 20 to 30 min continuously.
- If you want to record 10bit 422 log in a compress format rather than ProRes
- if you want to save space on tour drives when archiving and when shooting to last longer.
There are various reasons why you would want to use it, and for many people it is necessary, because their camera internal recording isn’t enough.
Hope this helps and makes sense🥃🥃
so using my s5 , i could record 5.9k 10bit hq to hevc then that would let me edit the file in resolve on the pc?
Anything 10bit should be able to edit in any NLE. It’s when u get into RAW that you will need to know which NLE will acknowledge your needs.
Pardon me for my ignorance. I am novice for these stuff.I just got Ninja V to record 4K video from my Laparoscopic 4 k camera from Olympus.
I have activated H.265 compression codec to reduce the file size.
Please suggest me app to edit this H.265 video in Mac and windows also. Any idea to take snapshot from H.265 4K videos.
Thank you in anticipation.
Hey Balaji, thanks for asking. When it comes to the siting in both Mac and PC, just use premiere pro from Adobe, it’s a subscription base. But that’s the only way.
Otherwise there is also a free version of davinci resolve from Blackmagic, that will work perfect.
To capture screenshots of your 4K footage, all them programs will do it.
Hope that helps😁
Thank you for the info. Does this include H.264 as you mentioned in another video?
It doesn’t. It was supposed to come with, as advertised… Atomos just skipped it.
I would use ProRes LT instead to be honest. Much easier to work with and about same size as h265 HQ
@@Aperture35 great -thanks for the reply. I'll give it a try today.
@@Aperture35 I appreciate the work you do.
I have two atamos ninja v monitors, if I purchase the h265 codec can I put it on both devices or do I need to buy it twice for each device?
Do t bother bro. Just record in ProRes LT… about the same bitrate and u already own it.
You would need to buy the codec for each device.
Can this be used with a canon eosr camera?
If your cam has hdmi out and does 10bit log and raw, you can use the codec. Otherwise, u can use the ninja just to record normal but no better than internal recording.
How about the editing flow?
Like I mentioned in vid. It will be a problem depending on your computer specs. The more Fx you add to your timeline, the more it will struggle. But the file sizes are small enough to put up with the potential proxies and pre-rendering required to have a smooth play back.
is h265 produce lower heat sir? i sometime need to record 1 hour nonstop med quality footage
Lower heat on the ninja?… it’s about the same thermal problem. But since it doesn’t have to process that large amount of data, then it’s a just a percentage smaller, but not much to make a difference.
@@Aperture35 thx
I have them all except the $99.00 add on I have a Mac Studio would it work I asked the guy from Atomos he said you really don’t need it I am a newbie to all this but if it helps I will buy it and if it works on my mac
The codec will work on your Mac. But honestly after this long, I would recommend you use the cash towards a new lens… just use ProRes LT, u will get better results and it uses about the amount of storage data as h265. LT is already included in your ninja V.
now you get it for 50% off btw...
Still I think for most people it is not worth it. :-)
Just get an 2tb SSD instead of 1tb (if file size is an issue) and you are fine. ;-)
It ain’t worth it at all anymore and with further use. I have the right mind set here and with ProRes LT. You don’t need anything else.
I am about to buy the codec of Atomos, but it is a rip off. About 1/5 the cost of a brand new Ninja V. There are things about Atomos and their founder I despise. This just adds to the list.
After owning it, I would say don’t. U get the same results as far as storage with pro res LT. And ProRes is still better than mp4
@@Aperture35 I bought so I could shoot 10 bit. I am currently limited to 8 bit on my Nikon Z6. My Nikon Z9 has 10 bit internal.
U didn’t need to buy it to capture 10bit. U could have captured 10bit log on ProRes without the codec upgrade.
My Sigma FP output For Recording over HDMI it's 8bit 422.
Can I record HEVC 10 bit 422?
Or will work only with a new sigma firmware.
It will only record what your camera puts out. So if it 8bit 422. You can choose to record that. U can choose to record it in 10bit422, but it will not be upscaled. It will show 10bit, but it will only be 8.

PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME SOLVE THIS ISSUE.
I don't know why but my videos are getting extremely noisy and grainy when I shoot with my atomos ninja V.
I've recorded in ProRes, ProRes raw, all using the base ISO and the problem persists. Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong?
My camera is a sony a7s3.
if your videos are noisy, you are underexposing... in premiere, you need to convert the footage to log in the master tab of the footage fx. I would recommend you use the Vlog conversion rather than Nlog to give you a bit more pump in the midtones. but for better colors use Nlog. Just push your ISO and you will get better quality video. set your camera to the proper F stop you want to use then, use the 180 rule, say you want to shoot at 24P, then have your shutter at 48 or 50... I use 60 so I dont see flickering in my lights. anyways, then set your ISO to auto, and see what it tells you. based on that set it back to manual and set it the ISO it was telling you. dont use auto iso, your image will be shifting left and right when it sees highlights and shadows.
ProRes RAW - Monitor is PQ to see how your lumetri scope is looking with highlights and shadows. do not bottom out the shadows, they will produce noise. then set your monitor to rec709 to view the scene better, it might look over exposed, but it wont be based on how you set your camera to be within the limits of your cope. adjust your settings in the display tab of the ninja V to help you see better as well.
what are you trying to record that you get so much noise?
Have you had any skipped / dropped frames using this codec? I have a ticket opened with Atomos because it’s happened to me and it makes the codec unreliable. Tried different drives and HDMI cables but the issue remains. I’m on a Canon EOS R, for reference.
When I first started recording, files would last 12 mins or so each and break. I had to format the sSD in the ninja, and then it stopped doing that. The best drive to use thus far is the WD Blue 500GB. The 1TB performance isn’t as estable.
Also, make sure your cable is HDMI 2.0 compatible.
Aside from that, I’m not sure what might be wrong with your ninja. Hope that helps.
@@Aperture35 I’ve also had this problem of breaking files after 5-12min. I’ve logged a ticket with Atomos, but never got any diagnosis from them. Have you had success with other drives? I’ve got a Samsung 860 pro 512, wd blue 2tb, and a crucial mx500 1Tb, all formatted in the Ninja and all break at this short times.
Have you tried to do a factory reset and downgrade firmwares?… and then go up the ladder until u get to the newest firmware?… that might work. I first I had those issues and then I formatted the drive and reinstalled the latest firmware and it all worked good with my 512GB WD blues. Sorry, If I can’t help you beyond that.
But Atomos will only reply if they know of a solution, otherwise they keep quiet.
@@eddielee9486 the fix is in v10.67.1, i had this issue but after the patch it will record as one single file
@@alangadgets Awesome, thank you! Yes that fixed the issue, regardless of which drive or cable combination. I had tried upto 10.67 , but didn't notice 10.67.1 came out shortly after.
Any suggestions for external power for Ninja V?
AtomX Sync mod - amzn.to/2US8krX
NPF battery - amzn.to/3dq4nAT
Vmount adapter - amzn.to/363D37m
Vmount battery - amzn.to/35ZcLDs
dtap to NPF - amzn.to/3qxoYZq
Vmount plate - amzn.to/3jkRXOJ
There are various options for external power. Like a power supply that comes with the ninja v. Wasabi batteries are a good option with the AtomX modules. As the modules have an internal short term battery built in that allows the change of batteries without turning ninja V off.
The last option is very expensive, it’s going the Vmount battery route. U will need a battery plate, plus battery and charger with adapters.
Hi i cant active my atoms ninja v 265 what can i do
What firmware are you on and why can’t you register it?… can you read your serial number on the ninja?
it doesn't support one-file recording on H265? that sucks.
What do you mean by one file recording?
@@Aperture35 He doesn't want it to do what you said in the video. He doesn't want multiple clips if you only hit the record button once. But you commented later that it doesn't do that anymore.
Thanks Richard… i guess it took some explaining… 😂 yeah, all you have to do is format your drive to not get them split. 🥃🥃
you can't record in 4k60 with this update??
Nothing g has changed really. The ability to record in 4K60p is still available. Just the codec has change. The ninja V can record up to 4k60p in any coder within it, even with the h265. Hope that helped. 🥃🥃
@@Aperture35 thanks, will this codec improve anything quality wise because I’m not really a fan of the raw feature.
Well, it captures anything u want it to capture. If u like the linear 8bit 420 out of your cam, it can record that. If you want to capture the 10bit log 422 file it can record that as well, Your choice. The files will be smaller with three different options given. Is it better quality?… it’s about the same is ProRes 422 when capturing Log but smaller… just remember, that the files will probably need transcoding to proxies for you to edit with ease.
@@Aperture35 ahhhhh ok thanks my man, I’ll just stay with the current firmware. I edit on the M1 MacBook so I’ll just sit tight.
You can upgrade firmwares without a problem. The only way u will get h265 is if you purchased it. 10.65 allows you to use it.
Not sure the purpose for h265 on Atomos. I always go dnxhd to editor to prevent proxies. Odd offering for 99 bucks
On the Ninja V, DNxHD I would say is the worse codec there is, due to the way it handles colors and dynamic range. ProRes is very nice. On the other hand , the BlackMagic Video Assist 12G, handles DNxHD files like a champ. They have one additional setting that the ninja V doesn’t and it’s awesome.
The low quality version (proxie) of h265 works the best and I don’t see any issues with it. Small files that can be archived and work perfect in any NLE. The one that I thought would have worked better, High quality all-i, performs the worse in your NLE.
@@Aperture35This is what I've been searching for. I thought that that DNxHD is perfect to shoot and edit smooth. And then I noticed enormous difference in ALLi internal (LUMIX S1H) VLOG FOOTAGE and the dnxhd one. Colours brake way sooner. Would you recommend any prores before the internal codecs of the camera for better Dynamic range and colourgrades?
Pro res raw is your best option follow by LOG. Both will require a LUT to edit and get color correction. If you don’t like the Nikon lut like many, I would recommend you look up ACES work flow to get the most dynamic range and color options of your footage.
@@Aperture35 I will definitely look it up. I'm having a good set with luts fo the Panasonic's vlog, but I want to justify the ninja v+ and have a nice workflow. Thank you!
Hi have you ever try this H.265 with less high quality ssd i.e. samsung evo instead of pro in 4K60p?
Would like to know if the skippy kangaroo still there using the less fast ssd thank you
U shouldn’t do that. No all drives are created equal… the writing speed and ram gets bottle necked on the cheap SSD. Stay away from QLC drives. Which ever drive u want to use, try to find out if it bottle necks at 47GB of constant writing. If so, skippy will pop up.
Even if you want to use h265 low quality, just get the WD blue 500G (link in description) it’s what works or go to Atomos website and look at the recommended drives.
@@Aperture35 thank you for the answer your atomos videos helps me a lot!
Whatever I can do to make your job easier✌️🥃🥃
But a ssd is so cheap these days . A 99$ will get you 1TB ssd and you can fit a lot of prores in there. Not to mentian that h265 suppose to be used for delivery not grading, because it's already very compressed
I agree with you. This codec is more for people like me, who do RUclips vids and monologue quality isn’t as important, then having this option is great. But overall, ProRes LT is a much better option over h264 HQ.
Thank you for your video. Can Nikon z6 fit h265
Nikon puts out the signal via HDMI to the ninja, the ninja encodes it to whatever format you like. So that’s not a problem. You just have to make sure u have the códec in your ninja to capture.
@@Aperture35 Thank you so much
Anytime 🥃🥃
@@Aperture35 By the way, According to your video, I did not find a significant difference between prores422 and 422 log h265, but the size is very different. Is there a big difference in dynamic range between these two video formats?
Dynamic range will always be the same in log between files, you might lose some fidelity in colors, but thus far I do not see a degradation between ProRes 422 and even h265 LQ.
So you save space on file size with 265 but do you really since you have to create proxy files before editing which will take up more space?
This was by far the best video on this
Thank you. The video was made at a time I needed to make a decision about my vids. The truth now is that ProRes422 LT is a much better option.
You are right as far as proxies go when editing, the only one that doesn’t need it is H265 Low Mode. Otherwise, proxies are needed. But ProRes for me does the job much better at this point in 2022
thanks the google drive link is not working
Hey Joel, it does work, it just verified… you need to check your virus scan to allow the download. Files are large, and require additional permission from your part on chrome and edge.
Hm, the all-i HQ 10 bit h265 is almost the same data rate as prores LT for 4k. but prores LT is pretty much workable on a toaster, while in my opinion still being enough quality for basically any high volume client work like weddings etc. - so i see no benefit shelling out those 99 bucks for a codec that is much heavier on the hardware and might even need proxys.
the lowquality h265 option might be okay for...well, low quality work that goes straight to youtube or something, if someone does that with a ninja v it might be an okay option.
I agree with you Digi20…. I would not purchased this codec knowing now how it works and the promises made by Atomos that it did not deliver. No h264, can’t record 4k60p in LQ or MQ… files would fragment, which was apparently fixed with 67.1…
I would use LT as mentioned. My latest video was shot in LQ (tethertools)and surprised, it played very nice with my system. I can’t say the same for MQ or HQ.
no should be included with product in box
🤝👏👌💪
Thank you Slavko!🥃🥃
For some reason, I'm having an issue recording 4k60 on my Sony A7S3 using the H.265 MQ setting. It works perfectly if I shoot in 24p or if I change it to HQ mode. Have you experienced that as well?
I believe this issue was addressed with the new firmware 10.67.1. Have you installed it and see if it fixes the issue?
This is what the firmware note says about 4K60 : Recording 4K inputs at 59.94/60p with H.265 is currently only supported in HQ modes. LQ and MQ will be made available in a future firmware release. To use MQ or LQ modes, please change the resolution and frame rate to 4Kp50 or below.
@@Aperture35 Yes, I just saw that. I didn't see that when I went to buy it because I don't think it's there on their product page. It's only in the firmware notes. That's kind of not cool.
Yeah, Atomos business model is questionable lately… sad but true
I have an issue where the h265 recording is stuck at 4k60. I can't change to 4k24 on the atomos even when I change the camera to 4k24. Not sure why. I have been shooting ProRes RAW fine for awhile now.
1,000 subs down.
10,000 by year end?
I can only hope so… hard work 😓 up ahead! 🥃😁
to bad atomos knocked off my registration. as if i never registered
Can’t you register again?… I know I had to, I think it was after firmware 10.55… their whole system online changed…
@@Aperture35 yes I did lucky us videographers and photographers have tools to see the serial numbers from faded recipes. Lol..
@@Aperture35 it actually never registered when i bought it. And I know I I submitted it. But everything fine.
🥃🥃😂
I registered so I could get the RAW option.
BM Assist all the way.😅😅
Utterly ridiculous that you have to BUY this functionality.
I completely agree with you now looking back… Prores LT does a much better job for the same amount of compression and it’s already free within the ninja.
@@Aperture35 I didn’t know about LT. sounds like a good option.
