  • 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 :)

Got 6K ? ( link to my LA vista shoot test )

Any chance you can show us a comparison between the original 4k raw file and the new 6k file? I think that would be a big help in seeing the difference. Either way very cool stuff! :)
 
Les, love to see a 4k original, a 6k still and a 1080 centre crop xvid from the same clip. Your xvid and still are from different clips.
 
A comparison would require 2 cameras as the OLPF is removed... Unless Les can swap it back in in the field... That still, to my eye, looks higher res than an Epic... Alas, it's being upscaled and massaged in post to get it there, so who knows how good a 5k (stock OLPF) of an Epic would look under the same workflow. And jebus, what about a 5k non-OLPF from an epic?

I didn't know the F65 didn't have an OLPF... verrrry interesting, as it means its perceived resolution isn't necessarily because of the "45deg 8k" sensor as they claim. It makes sense too, as it has a mechanical shutter (and motion seems to cause issues with the OLPF).
 
Mike, the mechanical shutter is an option for the F65.
 
Les, I personally like the soft look after the conversion, reminds me film, I am not crazy about sharpness, since it will look too "Video" then, (in my opinion), but we would love to see the 4K image to compare.. just a request..

I'll see if I can shoot a test between 'no OLPF' and 'with OLPF' in the next few days. I've done it before, and it's like someone cleaned your glasses. Stay tuned!
Now in the meantime, can we get someone to post full res. mono Epic frames ? I mean, if I had that camera I would be happy to provide examples.

I may have grabbed the still from a different part of the timeline. Also, I had a gamma shift when making the AVI, which I roughly compensated for with a pre-compression gamma.
Is that what you are seeing?

No, the still and the xvid are not in proportion and therefore must have been shot with different focal lengths.

I just double checked, and the 14 MB JPG and the AVI are the same , when viewed at 1:1 . Are you sure you are viewing both at 'Actual pixel' or 1:1 size ?
If you use Photoshop, use 'actual pixels' to see 1:1. The AVI is 1920x1080 size, ( it's cropped out of the 6144 size ) .
 
Yes, I realise that, but how is the xvid a center crop????

I overlayed your xvid over the top of the still in After Effects and your xvid is from the bottom third and left corner, so you're saying that you've made that xvid from approximately 1/12th or 1/16th of the original captured 4k frame??? I just want to confirm this as I'm very interested in what you're doing.

Scroll down to the second post...

For the record - this was shot on a cheapo Nikon lens...

Nothing personal Les but I'm pretty sick of the "Got *****?" phenomenon. Every time someone comes to me that wants to market their own product and are not really versed in the ways of advertising this pops up and every time I have to explain to them that you shouldn't ever duplicate someone else's idea so flagrantly and that Got Milk? only works for very specific reasons. I see it every where and I just wish it would go away. http://adweek.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/gotmilk_big2.jpg

Me too, but it is a way to get people to take notice!
@Peter , thanks for the 4K mono Jpeg link. Looks great, must look even better with more light, can't wait to see more stills like that posted.

Hey, he asked for samples, and that's a sample. Where's yours?

You can find plenty of my sample on RU.
Anyway I'm not a Scarlet user, just an Epic user.
Sheers mate
