Thank you.
Hi, may I know what type of ProRes did you use in the test? Prores Raw HQ 12 bit or Prores HQ 10 bit? 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.
I was interested in the comparison between the 6k n-raw and h265 and prores which max out at 5.4k instead of 6k. The n-raw was a lot better in the comparison but I wonder if the difference was partially as a result of the resolution difference? Since the advantage of 6k n-raw also held over prores, I think it's the in camera processing more than the h265 compression causing the degradation. I would be so interested to see a comparison of 8k n-raw from the z8 to 8k 4:2:2 500mbps with the Sony a1 to see if Sony's processing is any better.
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.
can you test it in low light?
There are some low-light night shots in the intro sequence.
Finally, the test i've been waiting/looking for 😜 Thanks for your work!
Thank you.
Yep, nice test. Something that I missed, the sport plus e stabilisation is very very good. Might even say as good as gimbal. I saw perhaps 1-2 little jump, but perhaps they should tweak the algo a little bit or crop a little bit more.
Thanks. It's surprisingly good. The downside is that it only works with H265 or ProRes and in UHD.
Best review
Thank you.
Thanks for a very serious and useful test!
Thanks!
By far the best test yet - very clarifying for me. The flicker issues are prevalent but only when you're actively looking for them - I think this issue is a bit overblown. Otherwise the IQ is beautiful, detailed without excessive sharpening or moire, great highlight rolloffs and detail is preserved well at higher ISOs.
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.
Does this also apply to sony apsc cameras such as fx30/a6700? This means we should really get sony glass what the hell
We haven't tested those cameras, but the result will likely be similar.
what are ur project timeline/output settings fot this test
UHD/Rec 709
Extremely well done thank you for this video.
Thank you for watching.
I prefer Leeming LUT my only issue is to get proper exposure (they recommend exposing to the right) its like 3 stops brighter than a standard in camera slog3 to 709 display assist. You're video shows you're using the same iso for each of the LUTS.
3 stops over is clipping the highlights. The camera was set to base ISO.
You are doing the Lords work. Thank you.
Glad you found it useful.
Nice 👍🏻
filmbox is by far the best filmconvert is quite nice something about the skintones with dehancer looks off here, dunno what happened
does LUTs work on Final Cut Pro? I purchased this luts the skin tone to much saturation
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!
What are youre Project settings? and do you have mac view checked or not
I’ve done a lot of testing and I find out that prime lenses are way better than zoom lenses with stabilization. Sony and Samyang prime lenses works better than Sony and Sigma zoom lenses in all stabilization modes.
is the dehancer the worst of alll???
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.
what did you need color checker for dehancer?
Thank you for not posting another video shooting clouds or mountains. This is VERY helpful. Subscribed!
Thank you. New videos are coming soon.
I've come back to this video lots & decided not to get the Zf b/c it was so blurry compared to the Z8. How do you think the Z6iii would fair against the Z8, now that it's been released? Do you think there would be any improvement in h265 UHD?
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!
Nice video! Did you use ND Filters? Thanks.
Thanks. No NDs, exposure was adjusted via shutter speed. NDs usually affect the color and sometimes sharpness.
Thanks for the comparison. Nothing from the list is giving a feel of the film. Sometimes Dehancer is littlle bit closer than others. But still it feels like processed digital, not film.
Does Zf have internal Nlog video or still require external like the other?
It has internal Nlog.
Is Gyro Stabilization an IBIS setting in the camera or is it using the third party gyroflow plugin?
Gyro means plugin.
It’s using Sonys catalyst browse software
Despite being the most popular, dehancer is one of the worst ones here.
24 mpx old sensor vs 45 mpx new sensor - are not bad results at all for Nikon Z F. And yes, I didn’t notice any significant difference between the cameras in terms of noise level. Thanks for the video!
Did you expose to the right in this test?
What would have been interesting is if they had shot actual film along side for comparison. I would love to see an IB 2 and 3 strip Technicolor emulation in these packages.
it would be very expensive...
I’m considering FilmBox, I already have FC Nitrate and Dehancer. I’ve noticed that Dehancer’s daylight-balanced Vision3 seem woefully unbalanced. I shoot real 16mm film, so I know what it should look like. The tungsten Vision3 seem better if a tad warm. FilmBox almost always looks convincing when I see it used.
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.
'Flat' seems to have the most natural-looking skin tones. I would have thought flat would just be desaturated.
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.
Thanks :)
filmbox is just next level. I think resolve is prob your best bet if you don't wanna drop a k
Undoubtedly Filmbox took the cake here.
Does it matter the AGE of the Sony native lens? Does it have to be a newer lens, released since this camera was released? I'm getting a Sony 16-35mm 2.8 and am debating between the GM and GMII. I can get a Used GM for much cheaper.
I don't think it matters. The Sony lens that we used is pretty old.
I would so love if you also compared the a9iii with these.
Would this LUT work with a Lumix S5 II X, the newer camera? Also do you think it would work in the real-time LUT feature?
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.
How good is filmbox! I was ooohing and aaahing everytime it came on. Love the video, great choice of scenes and scenarios! Most helpful I‘ve found. I hope video village pay you a commission.
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.
DA VINCI JUST DROPPED ITS OWN DEHANCER PLUG-IN IN VERSION 19.0
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
Sony looks more natural. No magenta tint and less saturated which I like.
Wow , how did you exposed so perfectly with this Sony a7s3 . I have the camera but unable to get the same result as you . Please could you make a tutorial on the way you expose with the SonyA7S3 Slog3 ? Thanks in advance. Your footages are amazingly nice to look . ❤
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.
whats this "no picture profile" setting in the very first sample? There is no such setting in camera - when Picture Profile is off, you have to use one of the creative styles, and you have to specify which one you used!
It means Standard profile.
should have stated this in the video, otherwise nobody knows which style you used@@cinematools9621
Not sure I would say XAVC-HS needs proxies - My macbook M1 with 16gb of ram eats it for breakfast, and that's not a particularly powerful macbook by today's standards
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.
