The difference though is not that much but it kind of a pain to get use to Do you have any idea what is the cause for this ?

    Thank you for this detailed information. I recently shot greenscreen interview footage (which was a mistake in itself, don't ask how I got there...) with a 5D Mk 4 that I borrowed, and I didn't really inform myself before using it. So now I have those hughe files, 1 Minute almost 4GB, and my computer (Gigabyte Aero 15 laptop) can't handle it in After Effects. I was completely overwhelmed to why this had happened, and have since then been trying to learn a lot about Bitrates, Codecs, Containers and so on. I still don't have a clear idea of what my workflow should be with this material... should I compress it down a bit (and how exactly would it keep the best quality), should I work with proxies (but since I edit the greenscreen out in AE, using proxies might not be good because the settings for the proxies would be different from the settings for the full version)... At this point I just wish I used a Sony A7 3 for this shooting xD I would be really interested in which computer you use that can easily handle the Canons 4K footage. The link in your description for me just leads to Amazon with "MacBook Pro" typed in the search bar, which doesn't tell me which specifics your machine has. I guess whoever reads this comment doesn't have the time to answer all those question from a stranger on the internet, but if someone is super bored and wants to nerd out about this topic, feel free xD And thanks in advance for reading all of this, no matter if you anwer or not. Have a nice day!

    I think back then I had a full spec MacBook Pro 15” 2016 with 16 Gig Ram 4 Gig graphics card. This was the Reciept specs: RFB MBP 15.4/2.5GHZ/16GB/512GB/AMD--AUS. As for best method to use… it’s tricky because I’m not sure your computer will run ProRes proxies or not. I would try proxy them in a 1920x1080 (or equivalent to your 4K size) Pro Res 422 Proxy or LT. Make sure your proxy size is the exact match in terms of aspect ratio and they should (theoretically) match up in post. That may depend though if you are working in a HD or 4K timeline if you are making any translation effects that may get janky when you relink back to the larger footage but if you are working in 4K timeline you can just scale to frame size and it should scale both the proxy and then the original media the same. Ideally you should use the MJPEG captured codec footage in the final exported timeline because you have full 422 colour subsampling. You could also make 422 ProRes 422 master though that will barely loose quality and then dump the MJPEGS if they are hanging up your computer. Test the new ProRes 422 masters and if they still hang things then create your proxies from there. Hopefully that makes sense! Good luck with it, we’ve all been there!!!

    Around 2:50 video gets a bit confusing. You're conflating bit depth with the number of stops of dynamic range that can be achieved. These are two similar but ultimately different concepts. To clarify, the video from the 5D Mark IV at 4K with Canon Log is still 8-bit 4:2:2 (it's 4:2:0 in 1080p) and it offers up to 12 stops of dynamic range.

    Thanks for picking that up. I do recall saying bit’s in place of stops in this one and confusing the 2 and as it was brought to my attention days after the video’s release by another viewer and so I followed up with a correction to it in a video a week or so later. But that was a long while ago!

    If you click the Pan/Crop icon on the clip that you added to the timeline, you can manually type in the resolution you want the clip to be. Make sure to disable the "Lock Aspect Ratio" button on the left side of the Pan/Crop Window first. After that, re-enable the Lock Aspect Ratio button and now you can drag around the size of the video.

    You could try converting in media encoder or another conversion software to Quicktime ProRes 422. I'm not sure that would render them smaller. The other option might be ProRes 422 Light which should be a smaller file size. Test it out with a few files and see if it gets them smaller and then use the one that suits you for quality and size.

    Hey Michael..thanks as ever for your super content. Just have a quick question from your 5Dmk4 days. On my 5d4 when shooting clog (canon upgrade) I get noise patterns in the shadows usually in the form of spontaneous lines that sometimes come and go. Sometimes they’re not there at all. Certain conditions seem to cause them. The log is correctly exposed. It happens from 400iso upwards. It happens on the 2 bodies I own which a roughly 5 numbers apart on the serials. Did you ever experience this?

    Paul Michael Hughes Hey Thanks Paul! I did notice it yep, the 5D4 is very sensitive to banding in the blacks when pushing ISO’s higher than 400. A way I used to get around it is shoot at 320 ISO which lowers your native clog dynamic range but only by a fraction. This ISO I found to be the least noisy. I also got banding at 100 ISO but that was gradient banding from shadow to highlight - but again only visible in the blacks/shadows. I’d push the log exposure to over expose a fraction (maybe a stop) and then check that you can recover all highlights and if you can then you should see an improvement with banding in the blacks.

    Paul Michael Hughes EOS R is much better although I am yet to test it extensively as I did with the 5D4. It’s always a little more tricky working with log on any camera though. When shot correctly though, the 5D4 produces the good in log! Other times I have had to denoise certain clips but it cleans up nicely. Check this out for the EOS R flexibility. Still with denoise pass required above about 1200 ISO - kzread.info/dash/bejne/f4qis8mkkaXZgKQ.html

    Thanks Michael, another great video! My experience of using an SD card for 4k is different to your though. I find it just isn't fast enough and the camera usually stop the recording sometimes after a few seconds. And that's using the SanDisk Extreme PRO 95 MB/s.

    sanoj varghese Hey Sanoj, it’s because of the formatting of the card in fat32 has a 4GB file size limit so it splits the video file into multiple 4GB files. It won’t drop frames so shouldn’t be a problem. With a 256GB card you will be able to get one large file as the in camera formatting on the larger card is exfat.

I had my ISO set at 100 all day (outside), shutter speed was locked at 125, and then I just changed the fstop accordingly. Now i've put my footage into premiere I just feel it looks such bad quality?

You could also upscale it on a 4K timeline to give it a slight bump in quality.

    David Makvandi Hey David, the 128GB version I have not tested for continuous writing in 4K but I have had success with a Sony Professional 95MB/S 128 GC card. The 256 GB card formats differently in camera and therefore the files do not split into 4GB chunks. Regardless it should handle the write speeds and the only other thing I can think of is that it is a fake or a copy card. That has been the case with other people.

  • @markanderson7441

    My only guess would be that the camera is writing slightly faster than the SD card can download, maybe the camera has an internal storage that can back up only a certain amount of footage before it has to stop the recording so that it can catch up writing the footage to the card. Kind of like how if you’re shooting photos in burst on a crappy SD or CF card it can stop your shooting to finish writing all those photos.

    @@markanderson7441 Yeah, that's the issue. The write buffer on the camera can't write it to the card quick enough. So the buffer fills up and then recording stops. It's not a problem with the right cards. Only thing I can suggest as I said to David is the card is a fake, OR, the 128 GB Sandisk Extreme Pro doesn't write quick enough, though I know for sure the exact same card in 256 is flawless for the full half an hour record time in 4K.
