Yes that was the only intention, to get that extra stop of light, since the lens that I had available at that time for these shoot was quite slow, at f/4. :-(

There was indeed some pressure by trying to film most of the action, with the necessary care for exposure, composition and camera movement and with no possibility of repetition. Imagine what it is...

I understand what you mean.

The main reason behind that somehow "longer that it could have been" is the intention to been able to make a retrospective of the cave's exploration through the last...

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your kind words. I think that when we do something with the heart, courage will not be the main driving force, but passion is.
Anyway, generally in the technical diving...

I just found that although it looks like I can't sort by date while looking at the folder structure, I can do it once I import all the clips to a new bin. Problem solved.

How can I sort clips by shooting date inside a folder?
The clips are organized in folders by locations and I need to sort them by date, so I can see them in the proper order in which they were...

Thanks, Blair

My mistake. I've misreading the system requirements info.

Problem solved.

Cheers,

Thanks for the insight, Phil.

It makes all the sense to use some earlier RAW settings changes (right after import the clips to Resolve) to achieve the best possible starting point for posterior...

Hi all,

I've an older MacBook Air (mid 2011) that the latest OSX that it can run is High Sierra (10.13.6).
Where can I find a compatible version of RedcineX?

I want to use this laptop for...

Regarding best practices in post, what is the consensus here, regarding:

1 - Anyone finds any advantage in going first to RedCineX and adjusting some RAW parameters before importing the footage to...

Exposure Check is a mix. Based on RAW data at the low and high extremes (purple, red). The middle one (green) is indeed based on IRE values.

From RED Dragon Manual:

"The Exposure meter colors...

Can you clarify a bit more what you mean? ETTR as always the benefit of providing more light to the sensor, which translates in more stops of light (DR) recorded, no matter the ISO value, right? Why...

Karim, I could not agree more that we all need to have a deep understanding of this and many other aspects of filming. That's why it is so important to have these kinds of "debates" and brainstorm....

I agree with that. That's what I also do.

I wonder why even in RED's official videos we can find a somehow misleading information about this.
An example is here:...

Thanks Mark, for your precious input and shared points of view and workflow.

All the best to you.

Hello Mark,

Let me start by congratulating you for the GREAT video you've made about ISO! Indeed it's the definitive video about the subject! You should be hired by RED to make more such great...

If in a low light situation if you lower the ISO, then the image will be darker and any noise will be much less visible. Lowering the ISO will not help you see it on set.
In fact, my understanding...

Thanks Phil, for your post and detailed explanations. I think that we agree in near everything. The main question is just to understand if there is any difference between changing ISO in camera or...

Yes, I agree with that. But this is a workflow related convenience, and not exactly a technical "must" that will make or brake the final image. Just imagine that you are a one man band, shooting a...

Indeed!



I understand that. My post is really more about the naked technical relevance of in-camera ISO, not so much about the WYSIWYG, creative or cinematographic side of it, which is...

Can you share a bit more about this and how/where the selected in camera ISO value will be respected/relevant?

Thanks!

Yes but then changing the ISO is just a commodity (to improve monitor visualization).Darkening the monitoring can of course also be done by lowering the monitor brightness (to a lesser degree,...

Indeed, that's a good description.

But then, if in camera ISO is just a "post-it", a reminder (so it exacerbates the need to take measures regarding shadows or highlights) or just a "monitor...
