4K WS ON SCARLET SCREEN SHOT

[Chase M. Wrenn]

Wonder if we will ever get 4.5K WS at 24. One can dream!

+1 for that dream!

 

[Donnie King]

Your still made me curios about upgrading my Scarlet's software. So, I did the upgrade just to try it out for my upcoming video shoot, and I'm feeling this 4kws.

Wow, great news! I feel really excited about these changes 60FPS at 3K WS is great! Something makes me feel adventurous about not having a safety-crop area haha!

OK I'm mid project on a job so there's no way I'm going beta build.

So 2 questions on 4k WS.
1) What are the pixel dimensions of this format . As I noticed a couple of people saying you still better shooting 4k & then cropping in post.

2) How does this format compare to 4k HD ?

Same width as 4k but with 2.4 aspect ratio. So less compression or more frames...

 

[Mike Garrick]

Thanks Bjorn

Mmm so the question is 4Kws @ 36 fps better than 3K @ 48 fps for 16 x 9 TV ( The medium I work in.....)

 

[Ben Scott]

Depends what you want to achieve and if you like having a big letter box in your 16:9 frame or not.

 

[BrandonChristensen]

Having 4K WS 36 is huge for me. I shoot 36 at 3K a lot, so this will give me a bit more resolution. Hurrah.

I want it so badly

Ben, which Contax lens did you use for this shot?

 

[Ben Scott]

85 f1.4 MMJ

 

[Samir Patel]

Thanks

 

[Ben Scott]

To be honest I use it at every opportunity

 

[Arthur Woo]

3k ws does 60p now

Thanks for the heads up!

Bit late to the game on this so apologies if it's been covered elsewhere, but is there a lack of quality/sharpness in 3K WS @60fps, just like how 2K @120fps was pretty crappy?

3K is generally much better than 2K...

 

[Mike P.]

Yeah, actually 3k can often look better than 4k... That is to say, not as clinically sharp. I'm actually kind of surprised by how much better 3k is than 2k...

 

[Ryan Hamblin]

3k is surprisingly great. It really brings to light why a lot of people feel like Alexa is enough

 

[Vladimir Druts]

Do you guys know what aspect ratio 4K WS is? for matte's
