BRAW on the Panasonic S1H // Blackmagic RAW vs ProRes RAW

[@darylawaita]

Gerald and Jordan needs to happen more often. Highlight of the year for me so far.

[@alex_foster]

I agree. Very good braw on S1H review.

[@TheFraziers]

Can we appreciate the fact that the S1H, and other similar cameras like the S5, are so good at recording compressed internal footage that Gerald and Jordan found almost no reason to record RAW externally. Amazing cameras to choose from nowadays.

[@jonniecandito181]

I agree, but it is worth noting that the S5 has a more compressed codec though, being 150 mbps LongGOP. They're talking about the S1h which has 400 mbps All-I encoding.

[@TheFraziers]

@@jonniecandito181 Yes, but there isn't a huge difference between LongGOP and ALL-I when it comes to quality based on some comparisons I've seen. ALL-I is mainly an improvement for editing performance.

[@ceelothatmane9421]

@@TheFraziers Nah it's a big difference between 400mbps and 150mbps, plus raw you can actually get 12bit color which if you're trying to get the most bang out of your codec then it's good to me. but I've only used prores raw

[@chickenpasta7359]

@@ceelothatmane9421 yeah you get all of that, but then you have to factor in HDD space, cost, bulk of extra gear such as lugging around an Atomos, SSDs, batteries, all this for what most clients would not ever notice or care for. I sold my Ninja V after getting an S5 because it’s a PITA to carry all this stuff for results people don’t care for. The only value I can see investing in any of this stuff for is very high level projects. And even then that money is better off being invested in lighting and other things so you don’t have to rely on RAW video

[@ceelothatmane9421]

@@chickenpasta7359 it’s not much to carry an atomos with my s5 with a cage. I mean it really makes the camera easier to handle imo. Without it shooting for me is a drag. Everybody has different needs. I look at a monitor as essential. The recording features are just a bonus

[@visceralpsyche]

Great review and rapport between the two of you! I just picked up the 7" a week ago to use with a Nikon being sent to me, but as I also have my S1H it was a great way to play with both (and the Sigma fp soon). Also loving the interface and the fact I can, as a Windows user, finally play with Panasonic RAW in Resolve without a round trip ProresRAW FCPX to Prores422 conversion.

Been debating on the 5" VA and missed out on a used one for 20% off @B&H dang it. Nice review both Gerald and Jordan, loads of info and was what I've been waiting for with regards to my S1H and the long decision of going Ninja V for RAW or more recently VA. I'm needing SDI support so it's opened up some options to kill two birds with one monitor when that time comes. Thanks you two!

[@blueboxstudios1336]

I'm a simple guy. I see Gerald post and I click

[@gopaladas]

you are not alone

[@lalilland]

It's crazy how Panasonic's gives these updates for free. Yes, the original filmaker update is payed for the S1, but these features weren't included in the begining, and now most stores bundle that fw with the S1 anyways. Kudos for Panasonic for the long term and effective support.

[@adigyran]

original V-log update was for free in stores

[@vanquestgear]

Didn’t realize this was the crossover I wanted. Thank you!!!

[@NeilFarrimond]

Thanks for the great review as ever. I have an S1H and a Ninja V and I agree with you, apart from ISO and WB control I’m not gaining much using ProRes raw over internal 10bit. Plus using Neat noise reduction on the raw footage is really time consuming. Cheers!

[@CodyStoner20]

The S1 update is MASSIVE! Hoping it gets BRAW at some point though, I just switched over to Resolve.

I really enjoyed this conversation. As far the update goes, I see this a very important in the world of video, because previously you had no option other than any BMPCC for easy and cheap RAW video, but now it is coming in most of the cameras, I think many people will implement RAW and don't have to worry shifting any other brand.

Something I feel like a lot of people don’t go into in this space is working with artistic color grading artists. I’m not a top level colorist, most of what I do is color correct. But having BRaw to be able to have a colorist and develop beautiful stylistic looks is a huge deal

[@ForestCinema]

Geez, the S1H is already a dynamic range beast... if it gets highlight recovery in Resolve, it’s gonna be a must-own body. I just wish they’d sort out a method for sending that open gate mode out to the external recorders.

[@mikemcglasson1286]

Is there still no way to send open gate out over an external recorder?

[@ForestCinema]

@@mikemcglasson1286 I mean, no. Not 6K and not Raw. The camera sends a live view feed for monitoring over HDMI, which I suppose you could capture, but it’s not as good as the file recorded internally.

[@mikemcglasson1286]

@@ForestCinema what about just displaying the 3:2 6k video to an external monitor while recording right to the camera?

I shot a wedding on the weekend using the S1H and Atomos using Prores HQ. Using the S Pro 50mm F1.4 and S Pro 16-35mm F4 the colors, dynamic range and flexibility in post are very good. I agree with this video, white balance correctly and I can't see why you would need RAW.

[@matthewTobrien]

If only ProRes RAW would be supported by Resolve. It'd make my C300 MkII like a brand new camera - I send all of my client work to a colorist and the 10-bit 4K 422 footage just can't keep up with BRAW. We're filming a passion project short documentary with a BMPCC 4K simply because it can do BRAW (even thought I think the C300 MkII is a much better camera.) 😢

One benefit of BRAW you guys didn't really consider in your internal vs raw comparison was the fact that you get tons more color information to work with in 12bit and no chroma subsampling.

[@robertochaves4535]

Yes, and this can have a big impact on VFX work or green screen work.

@@robertochaves4535 or some types of moire I presume?

[@robertochaves4535]

@@DollyRanch : I’m not sure how you mean moire would be created? Moire is an effect of sampling as higher signal frequency at a lower rate without any low pass filter. The lack och croma resolution will just blur the colors

[@DollyRanch]

@@robertochaves4535 no I'm saying BRAW and PR RAW will have less of the sort of colour moire because those formats like Zachary says do not subsample colour data. Not sure if what I'm referring to is really called moire but perhaps you are familiar with what I mean

[@djw1091994]

Apparently, I don't own one, but the BlackMagic Video Assist 3.4 update allows you to color calibrate the monitor. I assume the same way you can color calibrate the pocket camera displays now. You should be able to adjust the color temp and tint for the display itself.
