@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.

@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?

@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.

@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.

@last_SHIFT

I am glad for you (btw we have it on deals), just keep it in appropriate topic made for MovCam gear.

BMPCC RAW Video: Early Morning Shanghai December Stroll

Edited in resolve Lite.

Christmas with my BMPCC, Speedbooster and Sigma 18-35 1.8.

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!

@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!

@mark041 You don't have to be a dick about it man, you didn't see anyone grilling you for all the obvious and overdone warp stabilizer applied to your recent videos (among other issues). Constructive criticism is one thing, straight up slagging other PV members is not very cool. It's true that a lot of people have a steep learning curve in grading footage from this camera. Tips would be the gentlemanly thing to do. For example: learn scopes and try to grade on a calibrated monitor, if possible. Use reference wipes and take stills with a DSLR during shoots for great looking reference material to try to match. Keep practicing and every once in a while go back to old grades to see if you can do them better.

@lmackreath Great coverage, a lovely family memory! I'm sure it will be cherished for years to come. I've found interior lighting to be the hardest to get looking natural. Outdoor is another story, much easier to get a nice natural, warm and saturated look.

@lmackreath

Thank you for sharing your family Christmas moments.

I too want to comment colors of your video. I am again a little confused where this little green/brown cast comes with BMPCC videos. I wont believe that people buy this wonderful camera and then want to have colors a little like old paper photographs. Especially with family videos. There must be some issue with grading workflow because so many are getting results with same color errors or unneutral tonality. And almost always same look. It would be an incredible coincidence if so many had decided to use this "look". I dont want to criticise in negative manner. I just hope that my comment will help you or somebody.

I suggest to take a photo of same scene with proper camera and with auto white balance. That would be a sample of neutral grading of the scene. If you then want to cc to some "look" it is OK. I think that most people still want to shoot neutral rich colored videos with their BMPCC. I dont have BMPCC so I can not help with grading process.

I might know partly where this yellowish/greenish/brownish cast comes. In movies there is a certain film look. I think that movie projectors uses a little yellowish light compared to monitors and TVs. Many people has then adapted that look in their brains and when grading for cinematic look grade becomes too yellow. I see that yellow/green cast at TV when movies are shown and the older the worse. Some TVs has color profile "cinema" and again colors with that profile becomes yellowish. Some or actually many movies has own color world and there is often cyan/yellow/brown combinations.

This is maybe becoming too philosophic and of course every one can do whatever want with camera. I am just wondering....

Like I said in my previous comment, this was a lazy grade which has the m31 lut slapped on it. It would not surprise me if a lot of people use this lut plus others from the Osiris pack to grade their log bmpcc footage.

The footage with the bmd film lut looks a lot different and does not have these color casts seen in a lot of videos.. But simply the colours from the scene I shot. The problem with the BMD film lut is that it's not a grading lut.. It just converts your log footage to 709 rec video., and that's what your footage looks like..Very video like.. Similar to the gh2 or mk2. The skill in grading is to on top of the initial lut to create a mood.. A feeling... An emotion that you want the footage to convey. Editing these days with the plugins available make it too easy for one to use Osiris.. Magic bullet looks..filmconvert..and with one click say " now my footage looks like film" and most of the time it simply doesn't. I am guilty of that clearly but am willing to learn and listen...
