  • @AKED please can you ask if there is a technical limitation why they have not announced a firmware upgrade to the 45-175 power zoom to take advantage of the dual stabilization with the gh5 if did they just forget to mention it, it was on the list then it vanished :)

  • Thank you Manu.

  • Here's a draft cut of some of the footage I have captured with the pre-production GH5 I currently have on loan from Panasonic Canada!

    Colour corrected ( still some work to do )

    All 4K 60P and 1080p 180fps in 4k 24p timeline on standard profile

  • @inqb8tr are you using two monitors? one for premiere and other for preview?

  • Every file, 50, 25 and 24 is totally smooth full screen on 2560x1440 screen, with 1/2 playback resolution set

  • Did you try to set the program monitor to 25% size and 1/4 resolution? Maybe this can help a lot.

    In my quadcore I did this but it keeps the sttuter... maybe the 6 core can do?

  • Well, each of these files play smoothly when set to 1/2 playback resolution, so it is editable. Also, I presume that converting to ProRes or some other less stressful codec would probably play and edit better, proxy files would be the last option.

  • It seems proxy files will be the only solution to edit GH5 4k footage...

  • @Apefos

    Tried this UHD 50p clip with i7 5820k 6 cores processor @3.3Ghz and GTX 970 in Premiere, and it stutters a bit.

    C4k clip at 24p, has some stutter in regular intervals seems like thta every 2 secs it skips a frame or two.

  • I did a test enabling the Intel HD Graphics. Now the computer have two GPU, Nvidia GeForce and Intel.

    But the Intel HD Graphics is not used when playback videos in timeline, the GPUZ measurements shows 0% usage.

  • I do not know if it is possible to work with two GPUs enabled.

    Intel processors have a built in GPU with hardware acceleration, but I do not know if this intel GPU can work together with the Nvidia GPU.

    If it would be possible to use the Intel GPU to do the decoding, then a quadcore could be used.

    I do not know if this is possible.

  • when the videos are in the premiere timeline the GPU does not help the decoding, the GPU just do the realtime effects. The CPU does the decoder. So a powerful CPU is needed for 4k 10bit 422. My quadcore cannot do, and I have a GeForce Nvidia on it.

  • @apefos

    By idea playback must be supported by proper hardware acceleration. Any problem with it?

  • In my calculations, to playback in premiere timeline, the GH5 10bit 422 files 24p and 25p you will need an Intel 6 core 3.4GHZ cpu, and for 30p you will need a Intel 6 core 4.2GHZ cpu. It would be better to get a 8 core CPU... (remember: this is just some math calculations after see my quadcore bad performance)

    to see the videos these two media players can work:

  • Misleading examples GH5 NR. Look at the same shots done at lower NR.

  • Premiere in a quadcore and nvidia geforce gpu cannot playback the 10bit 422 4k files from GH5 in timeline, I did a try with 25p and 30p videos from cameralabs and both sttuter frames in timeline. The processor keeps near 100%.

    When playback in timeline the CPU processor does the decoder, so the quadcore processor is not enough.

    Maybe the Cineform intermediate codec can be a solution for smoth playback.
