    @markr041 I appreciate your comment and have to agree. This was my first pass where as you said I literally slapped on an LUT to add something to the video and it doesn't work. My regarded effort in fcp x now has strange flashing artifacts in random clips making it unuseable at the moment and I don't want to start editing the whole thing from scratch again. I am happy for comments good and bad!

    "nice grading"

    Are you kidding? The skin tones are those of zombies; there is no real color and an odd overall dark color cast. How is that appropriate for a happy family Christmas video? Another poorly "graded" video that looks the same as many posted from this camera, giving the impression that are all using some awful default LUT. I have never seen coloration like that in any film or television documentary; even apocalypse movies have more interesting grading. Perhaps I am missing some secret society of faux artistes? Really, what am I not seeing in the color?

  • lmackreathlmackreath

    Thanks!.. Can live with the moire on a family vid.. Even though it is awful!!. Not much room for a stabiliser either.. But in hindsight a monopod at the least woukd have helped!

  • peaceonearthpeaceonearth

    nice grading, lovely family. (Get a stabilizer and kill that horrible moire sequence at 5:15)

    @markr041 well, regarding colors it's all about personal taste. But many thanks for all the comments - it is from the feedback we all can learn! You said that in the scopes of Resolve it can be seen? I have to try that.

  • shianshian

    gorgeous stuff @vicharris

  • VeskuVesku

    @markr041

    Yes indeed your screenshots and timelapse looks clean and neutral in my monitor. Maybe it was pollution in the air or in my eyes with your latest video.

  • markr041markr041

    The moving scenery may be soft (from airplane) due to the fact that the focus was on the engine nacelle, and the dof was shallow. The train scenics in bright light at the end should be sharp. The BMPCC RAW has more resolution than the GH3, without artificial sharpening. I tried to match the golden sunset scene color to what I saw. None of the frame grabs I posted above have any greenish tint, and I do not see it in the last train scenic - but maybe it's my monitor. In resolve one can always pull down the green - it is visible on the scopes, so no excuse for tints. And the RAW time-lapse video I posted above is crystal clear, fully-saturated and untinted, what ever its other merits.

  • VeskuVesku

    @markr041

    Interesting video. Moving scenery is a little soft but thats I guess normal. What was the shutter speed. I am so used to tack sharp moving video with GH3. Of cource that is not possible with youtube.

    Sunset light (in reality) is yellowish and sky/shadows becomes greenish but is there still a little too much "green" we have talked so much?. Do you remember if this is the color you saw. Is it possible that BMPCC native "color world" is a little greenish?

  • markr041markr041

    RAW Video: Landing in Phoenix during sunset (and some train travel).

    The purposes of this video:

    1. To capture the changing light at sunset.

    2. To test the new FAA rules about use of electronic devices at landing and takeoff.

    3. To test for rolling shutter effects: do vertical lines bend?

    Be sure to choose 1080p.

    @markr041 Yes, formatted properly.

    @matt_gh2 I bought them in China - I know I know, but I've been living here for 10 years and know all the gear shops. Will go back and swap out 2 more cards and see what happens.

    All in all, what an Xmas bummer.

  • matt_gh2matt_gh2

    @last_SHIFT Where did you buy SD cards? I've heard a lot of fakes are sold on Amazon by third-party sellers. I always order my SD cards from B&H to be certain.

  • markr041markr041

    @GMC: I use Resolve, and I do not get the not subtle color cast. That is your doing, and I do not find it attractive. It is a very nice video otherwise, ruined by this discolor. I do not see this tint in any cinema.

  • markr041markr041

    @last_SHIFT: Did you format the cards in a computer exFat, 128bytes?

  • last_SHIFTlast_SHIFT

    So I just got my BMPCC yesterday. Picked up 2 Sandisk Extreme Pro 64G 95mb cards...both are not recording RAW, ProRes is fine. Updated to latest firmware and still unable to record RAW. Anyone else have this problem? Shit, would really suck if I got 2 fake cards.

  • VeskuVesku

    @GMC

    To be honest it is not a slight. Especially with many other BMPCC users.

    Anyway, nice work and Merry Christmas.

  • GMCGMC

    @vesku you are right, there is a slight color cast (which can be tweaked any way you want of course), but I actually like it an kept it - I think it comes from the way Resolve debayers the image, as AdobeCamera Raw does not show it.

  • VeskuVesku

    @GMC

    Nice video and good quality shots.

    I still wonder where comes this greenis/cyan overal color cast which is in many clips shot and graded with BMPCC. Is there some kind of systematic error or method that leeds to that?

  • GMCGMC

    Hi folks, here is a little piece I shot on the BMPCC in raw for the personal view video contest, the "Crazy Christmas Market". I love the grading possibilities of Resolve, amazing!
