[@rckbht25]

Not! how to delete clips in camera BMPCC 4k/6k ??

[@RyanTaylor3D]

@Riverthy Exactly. And it's a more cinema workflow to not be deleting things on set anyway. Just wait til you get home and delete the shit then.

[@TheManOfTheeYear]

Man this was detailed, extremely extensive and just about everything somebody would need to see about the camera before buying. Thank you man. Thank you.

[@JTN-hi9uk]

I agree man. The school I work out purchased 8 of these and the students have been loving them!

[@tslifetree]

I've had my bmpcc 4k for 3 years and had not even scratched the surface of what this thing can do. Thank you for this video!

[@bnjfilm]

Thank you for your tight and full range storytelling about this camera, got everything I wanted to know. WOW.

[@defnotisaiah3210]

glad i stayed til the end, the lut info and knowing i can shoot day for night easily with a custom lut is game changing, cant wait to buy this camera :)

[@defnotisaiah3210]

omg it’s me from the past! def worth it

[@Easterntvsamaritan]

my bmpc 4k touch screen is not working well what could be the issue?

[@TheBoomBoomRoomStLouis]

What I learned, your are awesome and love the speed, but I NEED to go to school to learn some of these things. I need a week-long course on all this photo-type stuff. Wow.

[@falconawesomeness1141]

Maybe i misunderstood but you can shoot 1080p 120fps in RAW or prores. I do it on this camera all the time. It just windows the sensor but it’s not limited to RAW only.

[@Chemy.]

That's a lot of info indeed, hopefully BlackMagic will use your knowledge and video as tutorial for their products

[@js_filming7701]

You can shoot 120p in ProRes as well! Just turn on crop mode!

[@ubacow7109]

This is the most in depth review that I've soon so far. Been looking for one that goes through all these features on the BMPCC4K. Thankyou so much

[@craigj.7035]

At 16:30, what is the scream painting doing in the color

[@saravanapriyan9634]

I chose A7iii only because everyone told that it's the best hybrid camera. Ever since I own (10 months) I'm trying to get good quality video by all the possible ways but failed. I don't care AF because I prefer manual even though I own A7iii. So I've been following BMPCC4k and you video covered almost everything. If I need same FOV and DOF as Sony 24-105 F4 lens and 35mm f1.4 what are the best options?

[@keerianflammang1891]

I am buying my own bmpcc 4k today after watching this walkthrough so thank you so much! Also I keep pausing at 6:52 when the letters on the wall behind you says "NUT...INSIDE MY HAND". Sorry I act like a child 😂

[@NapTheCreeper]

i want to get into this hobby of cinema footage and i want to know what lenses to get for this camera could you help me out

[@OCAIOF]

I'm looking foward to buy one and this is easily the best video I've seen of this camera. Thanks!

[@DeeKnow]

I just bought one of these that was made 2 years ago.

[@vancesnyder2426]

You did not mention if you can use Nikon glass with an adapter? 4K vs 6K small camera?

[@TWGypsey]

Excellent video and demo of the features I am looking for. Thank you!

[@trenthall5718]

This was epic shot dude!

[@user-uw1wq9rj8g]

I really appreciated all your efforts in the making this video. Thank you for sharing all those information and good job.

Hello, what LUT have you applied at minute 16:00?

[@JStieloSoloPhysique1987]

This was AWESOME.. I'm poor and shooting on my iphone XR, lol but when I'm able to buy this camera I will DEF come back to this video

[@DidsLive1]

Super in depth guide here! Sony A7iii user here I am contemplating selling my A7rii to buy this camera. I have shifted a lot more into video with my business as of late and I feel this camera is a must have now-a-days!

[@jadoon702]

DidsLive I believe you should sell your A7rii AND your A7iii INCLUDING ALL YOUR SONY Lenses THEN buy a LEICA digital camera with Leica R lenses for photography if you’re running a business . When you sell your last g master sony lens buy a BMPCC4K and use your Leica lenses on it for proper results ! If you want to upgrade to the EF Mount bmpcc6K model , then buy a few canon L series lenses and for photography get a new Canon Full Frame Mirrorless Camera..... u will be way happier with that decision

[@lalljp]

I wish you had showed the framerate and timelapse settings!

[@kamishimoproductions8587]

Thanks for this detailed walkthrough on the BMPCC 4k. Very much appreciated, thanks for all your efforts in making this video available to us all, surely a great tutorial.

[@Collin2377]

I could buy this camera tomorrow, and I would like to but I have no clue what "ProRes 422 options and ProRes 422 Proxy" means, I don't know what " 4:3 anamorphic" means, and so on. So how could I use this magic piece of equipment ?

[@ladimiz]

Great info thanks

[@trishpluggedn5737]

This was a great breakdown of this camera. Just brilliant. Thank you sir.

[@snovimgodom2009]

Does DC coupler for Canon work on BMPCC?

[@dagr8ape]

Great video, thanks for the explanation. The camera seems to be a beautiful beast.

[@talalmedfai3540]

I didn't understand how to delete the clips I don't want from the camera. Is it possible to delete some clips and not every single data on the SD card?

[@mikepruett1745]

can the USB go to a computer and do an OSB live stream

[@chriscardoso]

How large are the files? I'm curious as to how many GBs one minute of footage would take up in ProRes vs Raw.

[@SkullyReacts]

5GB a minute so every hour of footage is 300GB.....

[@chriscardoso]

@@SkullyReacts Is that in Prores or in RAW at one of the various compression rates?

[@SkullyReacts]

@@chriscardoso ProRes. Uncompressed raw is even more..

[@VCBEATS]

That was an awesome video! Thank you for taking the time out to thoroughly go thru each function and feature. I was skeptical about buying the black magic because someone told me not to purchase it. I was going to buy a canon t7i because the screen flips out and I can continue my vlogs. But I think I may want to reconsider.

[@zyromeleemedia]

Hi couldn’t find link to power pack battery

[@sunlightpictures8367]

Excellent walkthrough! I just bought a used Blackmagic 4K and this is very helpful.

[@kimeriksson7445]

Would the most basic lens, such as the canon ef-s 18-55 be compatible with this camera? Yea, I'm a newbie..

[@noitsnotmo]

Thanks for this! Subscribed 😊

[@JuliaBergdoll]

is it compatible with canon DSLR lenses?

[@TurnLemons2Lemonade]

Learned a few things, just joined the club but I def need to play more with the camera to get the best results!

[@mulindwamohammed6444]

Beautiful guide

[@anthonydearmas7039]

And SOLD! Thanks for your thorough research.

[@anthonycoryell9936]

Can you please discuss the bmpcc 4k using that specific battery pack working with a gimbal at all? I’ve seen powered gimbals that add battery life to the bmpcc4k but I want to buy this battery pack, I just don’t know if I can use it with a gimbal! Please respond 🙏

[@piotr803]

Damn. Having trouble deciding between this and a used Sony FS5...thoughts?

[@boounce211]

[@RensfordDeHaanArts]

[@EasyButtonFTW]

Super great and comprehensive video! Thanks my man

[@nes.torfernandez]

Nice video but I just have one simple question… is there any way to change settings, video resolution, frame rate and more without touching the screen? We are talking about a underwater situation and camera would be inside the housing and there’s no way you can use touch screen features. Thoughts

[@otdosa]

maybe via bluetooth?

[@fritzthekidd]

I just brought the camera, learning asap

[@reginaldworthington7558]

[@ljmblacklock]

I got a problem, every time I record, I only get 4 seconds of footage, how do you get it to film longer???

[@glincapierrelouis]

thank you for all your video, they help me a lot! I have a question: how do you manage the focus of the BMPCC 4k on a gimbal, and all the other dynamic plan, so that it remains always focus?

[@SpectrumTheOriginator]

It's manual focus only. Shoot wide with a wide depth of field. Or just have a focus puller.

[@umbrafoto1612]

there is no focus tracking on this camera? all other cameras are coming with this and this one is not?

[@gobira26]

Its a CINEMA camera.

[@SafiMajid]

All cine cameras have manual focus

[@dylangintherofficial]

Supposedly the v mount isnt made for bmpc4k and doesnt fit correctly. Is this true?

[@martinpatrick3634]

can it charge by usbc with a power bank

What is the best card reader for transfering footage from blackmagic 4k to computer? I am using San Disk 128gb read 525mbs SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO CFast 2.0

thanks man! subbed. I have a GH5 and I can't stand the countless menus. way too many. thinking of going with the BM4k instead. still on the fence.

[@tommipham4553]

Just the video i'm looking for, there's only one thing i'm curious about is it possible to record in 4k 60fps HDR internal or externally to Atomos Ninja V like the Panasonic Gh5? Thanks.

[@justinjackson3665]

I think the HDMI output is only 4K30. Internally yes, on CFAST cards you can do 4K60 RAW. To the USBC drive, the best you can get is 4:1 RAW 4K60, and using the T5 that does not handle the speed for a long time. I did record 4K24 RAW 4:1 for the 68 minutes of space I had on my T5 500 though.

[@nathanopposition8687]

Very helpful thank you

[@jorgefpramos]

How long it lasts the battery while in the lowest quality possible?

[@justinjackson3665]

The built in battery will give at most 45 minutes or so. Unfortunately the camera just shuts off with no warning, so you have to be proactive if you plan on using LPE6 batteries, essentially about every 1/2 hour swap it out. Better to build your own 18650 module or buy something like the CORE battery shown in this video, though for the price of the CORE, you could build a simple 4x18650 power pack and get 10x the recording time with quick-swap battery packs.

[@jorgefpramos]

The thing is, I'm looking to replace my Panasonic G7 (use it to record my orchestral concertos; I'm a composer) because I need something to record over 30m with good quality. The main problem that I'm finding is that the GH5 is too expensive for me now, so I was thinking about the BMPCC 4K but it seems that having the recording limit of 30m or just the battery life of the BM 4K is almost the same thing...

[@justinjackson3665]

@@jorgefpramos You can definitely record for hours if you get a better battery system. Like I said, I did a little soldering with a 4x18650 battery holder, and with 4 NCR panny batteries, I get about 2.5 hours of recording in one go. It looks a little janky, but it works. And I just bring along 8 more batteries so after about 2 hours, I stop, power off, replace batteries, and go again. Easy to put together, cheap to buy batteries. Get the benefit of a fantastic camera too!

[@jorgefpramos]

I don't know how to solder and I want something reliable...well, this said, Im still inclined to buy it but I do think that ill be spending a huge amount of money on accessories..
