To avoid this tripod limitation, I am now starting to use a Panasonic GH5 4K mirrorless camera with the intraframe internal Log 10-bit recording and excellent stabilization. As one might expect, it is especially so with landscape shots. As a result, I can add my voice to the opinion that while 8-bit Log improves dynamic range, to get to a good HDR image one must have 10-bit color. So, with DVX200 only 30% of the material was in 10-bit Log. Shooting travel videos at most sites of interest in Europe rarely lends itself to a tripod/camera/external recorder combination. Also, the new version of Compressor acquired H.265 (HEVC) codec, albeit without hardware acceleration. In October of 2016, Mystery Box published an excellent five-part paper, “ HDR Video”, describing their HDR work and their project workflow.Īs I was shooting my Spain travel video, I kept hoping that when I edit, Apple FCP X will catch up with enough HDR functionality and I will not have to learn yet another great, but new, piece of software. The HDR grading could be done using Black Magic’s Davinci Resolve. I acquired a 4K ENG camera (Panasonic DVX 2000) which internally can record 8-bit Log footage and with an external recorder can handle ProRes 422 HQ 10-bit Log. At the time, HDR TV sets just started to sell in earnest, YouTube initiated HDR services and Vimeo was getting ready to do the same. I have to add that my budget is quite limited.Ībout 2 years ago I decided to move to HDR shooting, editing and grading. ![]() This particular form, with its landscape and architectural shots, can benefit greatly from HDR technology. I work on travel films/videos targeted to on-line viewing. ![]() I made minor text edits in James’ article to improve flow or clarity, and resized his images to allow easier display on the web. Thanks, James, for sharing your experiences with all of us. As always, both of us are interested in your comments. Recently, James wrote of his experiences and I asked his permission to publish them here. Over the last couple of months, James Duke and I have been emailing about his work with HDR images in Apple Final Cut Pro X.
