Is there any reason I shouldn't go to Build 16 now?

[Stephen Pruitt]

Hi all. . .

We've just finished shooting our feature, "Works in Progress." Until the film was completed, I didn't want to move to Build 16 and risk a serious glitch or non-matching footage. Now that it's over, I'm really wondering what Build 16 is like. But since Build 16 is a no-going-back upgrade, I really need your advice as whether I should make the switch or not?

So, what say ye???

16 will set you free - just wrapped a feature on it - 25 days - 16x9 4K. Not ONE SINGLE ISSUE.

Also shot a feature on 16. No issues.

no...

 

[James T Mather]

there seemed to be a problem for a while with cameras locking up during the upgrade process - is this still a possibility?

 

[Alexander Christ]

There is no reason to go any longer with build 15...

SOLD! I'm uploading to Build 16 TODAY!

I can't wait!

Thanks much, guys. . .

And as a token of gratitude you'll provide sample footage...

Right?

 

[Stephen Pruitt]

But, of course.

Both cameras, #791 ("Lewis") and #1256 ("Clark") are now the proud holders of Build 16.

YES !! check the workflow ...
i just upgraded to build 16 last week = which i then had to upgrade Redcine = now i just get blue screen .... it has been like this since last Jan... certain versions of Redcine do not work on either the 24"iMac or PC here .. this is the 1st time it doesn't work on BOTH ....

I was afraid to go to build 16 too, but now, it's amazing. Especially when I look at the grain on a 17" monitor at 2000 ASA, it blows me away how little grain is still there.

I wouldn't make a judgment on that via a 17" monitor.

2000 ASA is a "look" for sure. 640 seems like the maximum "normal" ASA to me.

Yeah, I'm not about to go shooting 2000 ASA, but it didn't look nearly as bad as I expected. I know a 17" monitor isn't the best option for judging a 4K image, but regardless, I expected to see more grain.
