  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Build 16 Warning!

Desperate for Build 16!

Desperate for Build 16!

I'm trying to wait for Build 16 to make my art!

We start shooting our feature film in TWO WEEKS! Where is our beta of Build 16???? We REALLY need this build for the film for the following reasons:

1. We want the lowest noise footage available. We'll be shooting in very dim early morning and late night light for the first week of the shoot.

2. We don't want our footage to "not match."

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Jim. . . get me a beta of Build 16.

IMHO, dunno if it's a good idea to shoot your feature in two weeks with a beta build so revolutionary, doesn't seem wise, for two reasons:
- there will be bugs and problems like any other beta software or like any other 1.0 software (remember the OS9/OSX comparison).
- as Jim noted, we'll need some time to get used to the new revolution, we'll have to learn many things from scratch.

it's two weeks, not a month! :)
 
Stephen, I agree with Valde. It's cutting it too close to shoot a feature with build 16 unless you really want to live on the edge. Build 15 should work out just fine. Have you been having problems with your low light footage tests? Have you done a full color grading pass on the tests? If so, are you finding that the footage doesn't cut it? What lenses are you using and what are you doing for lighting?
 
Will Build 16 Reject my CF Cards? (i use Lexar Professional UDMA 300X 8 GB).. They work perfectly fine at all speeds and all resolutions right now with all builds.. So will hold the update until i know i wont have to throw them out with build 16 :)

If they work with 15 they will work with 16... no change there.
 
...and god said unto Jim, take thy build 16 and bring it unto the people and the people were glad...

lol at Jannard's teeth being the whitest point in that picture.
 
For what it's worth folks ... BUILD 17 is going to be the one that rocks my world the hardest.

You know, after Build 16 is hard-core, real-world tested with user feedback. That being said ... I am counting the seconds until 16!

How are the Hot Gears working out for you? My old roommate from film school makes those puppies. Got to see where he makes the equipment. Pretty cool!

Very cool!

We shall see - today is the checkout - but they are shooting 30 days on the Hot Gears with an Optimo 17-80 - (they have a few primes as well)
 
Nothing like having some cool "toys" to play with! Good luck!

Buid are software... Isn'it like going back from QT 7.4 to QT 7.3?:ohmy:

I really don't know how build are installed/urpgraded/removed... But I can't imagine why you couldn't revert to an older version?

It's firmware. Which is a gray area between software and hardware. So elements that are manipulated when 16 is loaded might not be properly reset when you reload 15.

When Build 16 is released, will we be treated to some head-to-head comparison shots with Build 15/Build 16?

I was just thinking they could do this right now to show us what the improvements are. I was looking at some stuff I shot last week and was wondering what in the hell they could do to make it look better.

My guess is 16 helps out trouble shots... like low light, underexposure, tungsten performance. If there's a way to reduce the sensitivity of the chip when outside so less ND is required that would be amazingly helpful. Not sure that's technically even possible though. Looks like 16x9 will finally get ironed out. Perhaps they could speed up the debayer.

Maybe there are other issues I'm not aware of.
 
Yeah, Joelnet. . . like everything I need that new build 16 for. . . trouble shots.
