    The only real problem with 1080p curerntly is that CZcams absolutely crushes it. If you only have a 1080p camera, AI upscaling will help but what will really help for free is to create a 1440p or 4k timeline and resize your footage to fit. Proper 1440p or 4K video files get AV1 transcoded on CZcams currently which is significantly higher quality.

    • @alexshotthese
      @alexshotthese Před rokem +2

      Or better yet just edit on your 1080p timeline and then when it comes to export just choose the higher resolution upon exporting. Having done the upscale route, the method I suggested actually has the clip come out looking better.

    • @itisriley
      @itisriley Před rokem

      @@alexshotthese I have tried it both ways and CZcams seems to accept it better for me when the timeline is a higher res rather than just an upscale at time of rendering. So I guess to anyone reading this that want's to try it, try it Alex's way first since it is easier, then if you run into the issue I have try it my way and good luck!

  • @BrianWallace21

    So the C100 was a great choice for this test because the image that you started with was actually downsampled from a 4K image. The sensor in the C100/300/500 were all identical - and the C500 offered 4K raw output to an external recorder. So while the output was 1080p, it was really really good 1080p footage and in scaling the video back you’re basically reversing what happened inside the camera.

    13:37 "I'm kinda just waiting for the day this is all built into our NLEs"
    Just an FYI, Resolve Studio already has native features for motion interpolation, upscaling, and deinterlacing using machine learning and mostly replaces the need for Topaz Video AI on footage that's already of rather good quality.
    Motion interpolation: Edit page > Inspector > Retime and Scaling > Motion Estimation > Speed Warp
    Upscaling: Right click on clip > Clip Attributes > Super Scale
    Deinterlacing: Project Settings > Image Scaling > Deinterlace quality > DaVinci Neural Engine
    There was a video you also put out recently about AI-based software, and while you mentioned it in Adobe's tools, Resolve does also have machine learning-based rotoscoping and object removal.
    Hope this helps for anyone reading, but specifically hope Sara comes across this.

    hot take: 1080p it still just fine for around 90% of creators out there. 4K is nice for punching in and reframing in post, 8k is great for tracking/green screen work for that extra resolution for proper compositing work, and anything beyond that is just a flex at that point. like why does anyone actually -need- 12K or higher? Give me a really clean 1080p/4k video any day.

    The problem is that each widely acceptable formats is 4 times denser than the previous standard (from 1080p to 4k to 8k). The sweet spots are actually the in-between formats like 2.7k and 6k but they are non-standard and not widely accepted. The difference between 2.7K and 4K is for pixel peepers.

    It's probably the sharpening and smoothening features of your TV that is spoiling your 24fps footage on CZcams. I hear a lot of people disable it. I don't have first-hand experience with a 4k TV with these features but it's a point of contention for sure.

  • @CraigBickerstaff

    Something about the skateboarding footage at 5:54, Topaz actually does have a pretty good de-interlacing model that you can use for something like that. Even handbrake's de-interlace options I think could fix that up reasonably well actually.

      Yep, was thinking the same thing. I've used it to de-interlace a bunch of old footage from the 80's and 90's. It's important to have a powerful rig with plenty of RAM and most importantly a powerful GPU to reduce those rendering times.

  • @annakissed3226
    @annakissed3226 Před rokem +2

    We have been using client processing in computers for years. For example if your your rendering a game you don't send a compressed image, you send the codes needed for the client side to render the image for you. The more powerful the client hardware becomes the more compressed the signal can be or alternatively the higher the quality of the image.
    A similar situation happened with quality storage of music. Initially music needed ages to store a single piece of music into a relatively large area. But over time storage became cheaper whilist hardware processing became better and people worked out how to write better software
    So when before it would take ages to compress a single mp3 and a whole album would take up an entire disk instead you could compress an CD in less time than it took to play it & it took up a tiny fraction of a disk
    Then along came MP4 and we saw the same again with video files and we all understand the advantages & immersibility of MP4 video over MP3 audio
    However, no matter how much we try we have tried we still haven't managed to create the same effect no matter how much more visceral MP5 is. Is this because MP5 is a proprietary system made by H&K? Or is it because it is in fact banned in many countries except where its used by professionals? Unless you live in certain parts of the USA such as Texas like you do Sara!
    So perhaps you could do a video about comparing MP3 with MP4 & then with MP5?
    (For those of you who don't get the joke: a Heckler & Koch MP5 is a machine weapon - not a method of compression)

  • @pianoplayer88key
    @pianoplayer88key Před rokem +2

    I have a fairly early consumer-level 4K camera - the Panasonic FZ1000. For now it's generally been "good enough" for what I use it for, so I'm not necessarily planning to upgrade anytime soon, at least not just yet.
    When I do upgrade, though, I'll want to just stick with 4K for now, and instead prioritize better dynamic range, low-light performance and higher frame rate.
    Dynamic range - I've sometimes taken videos where I'm showing something in a dark area, like in some equipment under a shelf where there's no direct light, and I have my phone there as well. I miss a lot of the details in the shadow area, while my phone's screen gets completely blown out. (Same thing happens when I take a video pointed toward my PC.) I can see details IRL that get completely lost in the video. If I could get better-than-IRL dynamic range, that would be great. (I dream of having enough dynamic range so you could combine a nice daylight landscape shot, a Bortle level 1 (distant rural location basically on a moonless clear night) starry sky with Milky Way and all that goes with it, and the NASA depiction of the moon overlaid on the sun, both showing extensive surface details, during a solar eclipse, all in each frame, without exposure stacking.)
    Low-light - A few times I've tried to take a video at night of a group of people (probably 100-200 or so) singing around a campfire. Yeah, you can't see much there, other than the fire. If I could make it look like almost midday, that would be nice. (I might not always crank it up that bright though, I do want the option of being able to turn it down for ambience, etc.) (I dream of taking a video at night in a cave or a forest on a moonless cloudy night in the middle of nowhere, and make it look like midday.)
    Frame rate - the 30fps my current camera does at 4K has been okay, and it will do 60fps at 1080p, or 120fps at 1080p without sound. I have been thinking that upgrading to 60fps (with higher fps for lower resolutions, but preferably with sound) might be "okay", but just a little bit ago I saw a CZcams video that proved me wrong. Look up "Yuja Wang Flight of the Bumblebee" on youtube, or Rick Beato's video talking about her "The Impossible Virtuosity of Yuja Wang" and observe her hands on the piano. I'm pretty sure 60fps wouldn't be nearly enough, I think you'd need an absolute minimum of 120fps, or probably 240fps or even more.
    As for a resolution upgrade, I'm not planning that until a farther future upgrade. I want PC processing power to catch up to where video is as quick to process, render, etc, as audio is on a "recent" PC - not my current one, but my previous.
    Some time ago, I did a few tests...
    On my i7-4790K, converted a video from 4K H.264 100Mbps (from the FZ1000) to HEVC, q=0, all keyframes, everything cranked up to the max. It took about 4 days to transcode a 4-minute video.
    On the same 4790K, converted about 2 hours of audio from uncompressed wave to 320kbps, q=0 mp3 - that took about 2 minutes.
    On my current Ryzen 9 5950X, started converting a 256x144p 2-minute clip from an older video I came across in Avidemux to VP9, speed=-9, prioritize best quality, GOP size 1, use full color range ... and it said it was going to take 10 minutes. Then, starting the uncropped version at 640x480, said it was going to take 35 minutes. Lastly, just for fun, I told the software to upscale to 4K (from 256x144), then convert that. The first pass took about 13 minutes (I had to let that run), then after the second pass had started, it said it was going to take an hour and 35 minutes or so. (I thought it would take a lot longer, but, yes I know you can't really upscale 144p to 2160p. I guess I need to redo the experiment with an actual 4K clip.) Of course I aborted all those tests.
    When I do upgrade resolution though, I'm thinking of doing the same kind of jump I did previously when I upgraded TO my 4K cmaera - and skip a resolution step or two.
    Before my 4K camera, the max resolution I had on a camera was 640x480, although I might have had a smartphone that could shoot 720p right before I got the FZ1000. I'm thinking, I might want to skip completely over 8K, and go to 16K, or possibly 32K.
    But, at what point would it be too MUCH resolution ... Yeah, I would like to have high enough resolution so that no matter where I look on a screen large enough to fill my entire field of vision, I cannot see individual pixels. (I can probably still barely see individual pixels under the right conditions on an LG G4 phone screen - 2560x1440, 5.5", 538ppi, holding the phone in my hand at normal distance - for example if I put up a solid white image with a single black pixel somewhere in the middle.) But what kind of processing power would it take to deal with that, and how much disk space especially for uncompressed, high dynamic range, high frame frate footage, that would be crazy insane today.
    Anyway, I'd want my PC to be able to process the 16K footage or whatever resolution, as quickly as my 4790K could process audio conversion (basically 60x realtime), and have enough storage so that raw/uncompressed footage at that level I described would make my storage no more bursting at the seams than my current ~100TB of storage struggles with some of my older 640x480 footage or recent 4K videos. (I probably won't be building Exabyte or Zettabyte Project anytime soon.)
    I'm not in the market for a camera right now, but if I was going to buy one, I think I'd be taking a good look at something like the Sony A7s III, if I had the spare $.

I ended up using 4k HQ mode which downsamples the 8K output of the sensor to a 4k image, and its amazingly sharp. And even tho 8K is around for a while now, it will take a very long time until its the standard for consumer level electronics to being able to display that propperly... so I'll stick to the downsampled 4k for the time being...

    But i just wanted to say other than that the program is cool, is that the 250$ "price tag" is a subscription cost to getting updates. Also there's a watermark that gets removed with the full version. So just in case viewers go "OMG a 250 dollar AI upscaler I can upscale all of my chinese cartoons!" (like what I use veai for) just think about it as a 20$ a month sub fee.

    For filmmakers, its not 8K or 4K that we wanted to master to but the extra resolution to use to reframe our shots in post without the quality loss. 4K for reframing is awesome for 1080p output and 6K for 4K. We will need 12K for reframing to 8K.

  • @williaml1570
    @williaml1570 Před rokem

    I mean I find the battles over resolution kinda strange in general- I like audio a lot too, and people seem to get really obsessed over things like the mastering intention (resolution) and the consumption/playback, if it is something you can perceive etc.
    The returns diminish, like in video 4K over 1080P on a tiny laptop screen (the real debates probably 2.5K v 4K) is small but not imperceptible. The entirety of the screen is tack sharp, the text doesnt have any artifacts and other small but nice things you notice.
    In my mind, if i were a pro I'd want huge massive resolution for the editing side. I would want high quality sensors and lossless codecs with high performance editing stations so I could replace other equipment. Watching 16K resolution footage on an iphone screen is not worth 5 million dollars to bob or tom but it would be worth a lot to someone who could ditch every single other lens except one prime and have a truly clean 4k output in the end, doing all of their "zoom" as digital in post without losing quality. Bokeh will be one of those things that will eventually be able to be rendered perfectly enough too. No more big ass lenses, less the prime.
    AI will eventually make pixel perfect creations at any resolution you want that will look like what you want it to it just won't be real. That's the thing, when the uncanny valley goes away it'll just be viewed probably akin to... convincing things in fictional film. It'll look real, but it just ain't real at all. I think it's the IDEA that is scary, not that we won't know what is real and what's not. We already don't know that, to be honest unless you have a bit of technical skill. I could tell you if the pixels have been shopped by analyzing it first by eye and then by software but the whole duping the general public about xyz is long gone.

    TVs have an awful lot of sharpening on by default. A good way to set sharpening is to throw up some text on the screen and turn sharpening all the way down, then dial it up till the text looks just clear. You may find that you like it that way better as well.

    I used to believe that high end video work was where it is at……spent crazy money upgrading cameras and more over the years and I absolutely love crispy and clear 4k etc….
    BUT reality is that this doesn’t matter to the CZcams algorithm..any videos I make that are video intensive gets no views…4k,scripts,and months of my time…..BUT when I get the name of my video correct is SD with no background music, script sucks etc I get thousands of views….so the 10 years making video content on CZcams has taught me SUCCESSFUL video content these days seems to be terrible low brow Mr. Beast content in SD…straight up facts.
    I guess if your client wants 4k or 8k it matters but I would suggest saving tons of money on equipment and your time because high end is not going to get your videos more views. And only cause you stress from the cost to never ending rendering nightmares.
    Great example is the most enjoyable part of this video is the cat scene which is not fancy or high end…straight up…oh let’s throw this antidote in for fun….not fancy but everyone enjoys it.
    If you want views on CZcams become more creative not high end or you can continuing chasing Tech Fads for a big stack of pennies in return for your time, money and efforts …for most of us that is 💯👊🏻💚💨💨💨.
    Video was on the money though IF you actually need 4k/8k no doubt. 💨💯👊🏻💚

    Looked fine to me, by the way. The comparisons all showed up fine. On a 4k screen, different story, but for a simple 1080 stream screen for background noise, meh. I don't need 8k, or 4k, or 1440 for the matter. What I will say though, is that filming source really enhances the production quality, that much is unmistakable on any screen.

    • @BrunoMassao

      Both the C100 and the C100 Mk II have a 4K sensor. Actually, the original C300 also have the same sensor, which they all inherit from the original C500. Here's how Canon "separated" the main target demographic for these cameras at the time: the C100 was the entry level/independent filmmaker budget camera, being limited to 1080p at 8bit; the C300 was the broadcast/doc-work camera that could shoot 1080p MXF files at 10bit and the C500 was meant for high budget cinema productions, because it could shoot 4K RAW up to 120 frames (there was a catch with the 120 frames, I think it was something called HRAW) if you record externally.
      I remember a bunch of indie filmmakers being mad at Canon in 2015, when they've announced the C100 Mk II due to the fact it didn't improve a lot of things in the spec sheet: it still had the same sensor, it was still limited to 4:2:0 8bit internally, there was the same top handle with almost the same body. The main differences were the ability to shoot up to 60 progressive frames in MP4/H264 (the original only shoots 60 frame interlaced in AVCHD), the higher resolution EVF and the swivel LCD screen. But their idea, at the time, was to push the C300 Mk II, which was also announced in 2015 featuring 4K recording at 4:2:2 10bit and external RAW recording, which made their somwhat "all purpose cinema camera" for both broadcast, doc and cinema.

    Whose 8K useful for?
    Content producers - it allows you to zoom in post.
    If your outputting at 2K or HD you effectively have a 16x zoom in post.
    If your outputting at 4K you have 3 options.
    A. Have a 4x zoom
    B. Have a 16x zoom & then use a computer uprezz the output to 4K
    C. Have a 64x zoom & then use a computer to uprezz the output to a slightly lower quality 4K
    VR headset users
    The closer someone's eyes are to the display the larger the pixels are thus the less pixels People can see! Unless the pixels are smaller i.e. there are more pixels in the image ergo the image is higher resolution
    People with wall sized televisions
    This is the same argument as People using VR glasses. Its just the screen is now so large that you have to sit far enough away from that you can take the whole image in or because your focusing on a particular bit of the screen
    Camera Manufacturers - with the low end constantly being commodofied creating cameras with ever higher resolution or images per second or colour depth or whatever give them something to sell as its better than the past
    Hopefully this is what you said in your video. But I am leaving this comment before I have watched your video to see if we agree

  • @annakissed3226
    @annakissed3226 Před rokem

    So when you upgraded your Canon T3i to Canon 7D you decided to stick to the same sensor from Canon but bought a better built in image processor?
    Which is fine, lots of people don't realise that new camera are often the same hardware but with better processing software.
    Just as if you look at early games for a games console and compare them to newer games for the console - the new games look a lot better. This is because the programmers have worked out how to do more in time with the existing consoles or in this case camera's

    What makes 8K exciting is the pixel density improvement for larger monitors. Even a 32" screen is too large for 4K where the optimum size peaks at 27", unless you don't mind moving the monitor out which diminishes the reason for getting a larger monitor in the first place unless done due to an eye condition (yes, for every rule exclusion events do exist which might apply to you).

    This is one of your best videos ever about camera gear. Well done. I can tell the difference on my 4K TV, but on my phone or tablet? Of course not.
    BTW, you should revisit the Canon C70 since they updated it to do 12-bit raw and eye tracking autofocus. Crazy what they're squeezing out of a $5,500 camera now.

  • @ka9dgx
    @ka9dgx Před rokem

    I'm watching on a $200 1080p 32" monitor (2K), and I can tell the difference... however, it's only if I look really close at the high frequency textures in your hair and eye brows.
    I STRONGLY suspect that there is a "low pass" filter in the camera to overcome the Bayer pattern that cuts off this detail in the source camera.
    I think the best thing to do is to use an 8k or 4k camera, and keep the native resolution if you intend to crop it, ever. But when you upload or export, why bother with more than 1080p? Save yourself a lot of time rendering and bandwidth.

      Colleges and universities can’t get caught up in the tech race…it is far too expensive, and tech companies don’t universally give away their gear. Workflow is the thing. So if a prospective student is caught up in what institution has the newest gear, they risk going to a place that is more about money and less about education. That said, I’ve taught video and film production for thirty years…institutions just don’t get it regarding tech - it is always a fight to get updates.
