Thank you.

Hello, it's Prores HQ 10-bit. Prores RAW workflow requires extra steps for Davinci Resolve but we plan on testing it in the future.

The resolution plays a role but N-Raw in UHD is also a bit sharper than H265 in UHD.

@@cinematools9621 I believe the n-raw full width in 4k is line skipped or pixel binned, so if it's sharper than h265 uhd oversampled, that would be really interesting.

@@LY121688 you're correct, 4K N-Raw looks worse than ProRes and H265. It appears sharper on a full screen but when I zoom in I see a lot of artifacts in the image.

What intermediate format are you using for the n-raw comparisons as I don't think you can play back the n-raw in real time

@@LY121688 for these types of videos I don't transcode N-Raw. If I need to, I typically use DnxHQ 12-bit.

There are some low-light night shots in the intro sequence.

Thank you.

Thanks. It's surprisingly good. The downside is that it only works with H265 or ProRes and in UHD.

Thank you.

Thanks!

Thank you. Yes, we were able to reproduce the flickering issue and unfortunately, it's there but we haven't seen it in any real-world tests.

@@cinematools9621 How is it in H265? From this footage it looks much less prevalent but CZcams compression can be deceptive.

@@minktronics H265 might look cleaner but I prefer the texture and noise pattern of N-Raw. It looks very organic if exposed properly, almost like film grain. It's hard to tell with CZcams compression but you can check our blog for the still images. The link is in the description.

We haven't tested those cameras, but the result will likely be similar.

UHD/Rec 709

Thank you for watching.

3 stops over is clipping the highlights. The camera was set to base ISO.

Glad you found it useful.

They do. Please send us an email with the image at info@cinematools.co

@@cinematools9621 Im using S5ii with Vlog color profile converted rec 709 then I applied your Luts and the result was too much saturated the skin tone was burned way more your sample.. I'll do email them now.. Thanks!

Dehancer is very flexible allowing you to dial the look with many parameters. It may require more work than other plugins depending on the footage.

It didn’t shine in here.

Thank you. New videos are coming soon.

I wouldn't call ZF soft but compared to Z8 it's definitely not as sharp. We're getting Z6III soon and the video should be available next month.

@@cinematools9621 fantastic-looking forward to it!

Thanks. No NDs, exposure was adjusted via shutter speed. NDs usually affect the color and sometimes sharpness.

It has internal Nlog.

Gyro means plugin.

It’s using Sonys catalyst browse software

it would be very expensive...

We noticed the same thing with Dehancer. The FX3 profile is better than the A7S III one. Filmbox is amazing, it requires the least work to get good-looking and convincing results. They also run sales of their products multiple times a year.

@@cinematools9621 I wish Dehancer would revisit some of their profiles. It seems like their model is more focused on having a large number of film stocks, which is unfortunate, because one or two really good ones would be better. I do think that their pipeline works well, the grain, halation and bloom all do a good job, but the profiling lets it down somewhat.

You can easily make V-Log skin tones look like Flat if you want to but Flat itself is very limited for color grading and dynamic range. Not every project requires Log, but if you put your clips in NLE using Log is as easy as any other profile.

@@cinematools9621 Thanks for your reply. I'm really noticing a green shift on most of the vlog luts with this camera, and on so many people's videos who use this camera. So the reason I liked 'flat' the most was simple because it's the one which made her skin look most natural to me. What I'd love is a lut for vlog which matched that more natural skin tone but could still keep the extended DR of vlog. Yours are great, but in this example if you look at just her skin on the flat lut, it looks the most natural i think. I think*

@@SocialTrading most of it comes down to a personal preference. Flat looks too saturated and different from the model's real-life skin tone.

I don't think it matters. The Sony lens that we used is pretty old.

Yes, 33x versions can be uploaded to a camera for a preview. We haven't tested S5 II X but it's the same sensor with the same color science, so it should be compatible.

Haha. Not expecting anything from Video Village or anyone else. We filmed a lot of tests for internal testing, and it might be useful for people to see the difference. There's a difference between seeing a demo on the website and using it in real-world scenarios. Thanks for watching and feedback.

@@cinematools9621 A joke of course. Thanks for releasing it to the public. Beautifully made. Also tasteful choice in music.

Not really. It doesn't have film stocks, and the quality of grain and halation is worse.

@@cinematools9621 agreed. filmbox and cinema tools has the best colors imo

Thank you. Sometimes we use an external monitor with false color but even without it, the general rule is to protect the highlights and keep the skin tones well exposed. You can use Zebras for this. Also, it's always better to overexpose than under as long as the highlights don't clip. If you're using Davinci Resolve for editing and grading, dial exposure before the LUT. Use Offset or HDR exposure wheel instead of Lift, Gamma, and Gain - it's more organic and will look better. It's similar to adjusting exposure in the camera except you have more control over the image. We might create an exposure and white balance guide in the future.

@@cinematools9621 Thank you so much , I really appreciate your priceless advices . Will try to apply them 🙏🏿 . Looking forward for the guide. Bless

@@tohrofficial1528 you're welcome! I suggest you to check Blaine Westropp yt channel, he has great tutorials about exposure. He uses Arri cameras but the same principles apply to A7S3.

@@cinematools9621 Sure , I will check his channel too , Thank you so much

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching.

It means Standard profile.

should have stated this in the video, otherwise nobody knows which style you used@@cinematools9621

Thanks for pointing this out. I forgot about the hardware decoder on Apple silicon. I will include it in the blog.

Intel 13th 14th gen cpu all have h265 decoding. Super smooth even without expensive gpu.

@@nightdonutstudio have you used it? I'm on 12th gen, so I cannot test it. I think proxies will still be better once you apply LUTs, effects, NR, etc.

It is but it's quite subtle.

It comes with the free version of Davinci Resolve.
