C70 Settings to NEVER Use | All Recording Options & File Sizes

[@SoundItOutFilms]

Due to MANY firmware updates this video is SUPER outdated. There's still some good info in here so I won't unlist it but if you want my current recommendations I have a Canon C70 course here: www.ericwalkervideo.com/c70

[@MikeRivkees]

I absolutely can not tell which is which while watching on an iPhone. Also those animations+textures look dope

[@NickelsVision]

I watch a ton of youtube content and I'd consider myself a Canon fanboy and this was probably the best footage comparison I've seen. The pacing was phenomenal, the information wasn't too technical and you are a charismatic dude.

[@stalman]

damn fine editing in this video

[@SoundItOutFilms]

Thanks Tyler! It’s great to hear from a fellow ginger-bearded John Hodgeman-loving canon shooter

[@wcsdiaries]

@@SoundItOutFilms How did you do the animations around 5:15 with the chart?

[@MattKitchenStories]

Good video, a lot of work. I prefer 10 Bit 422, MP4 (h265) because I am editing on a new M1 Mac and they churn through H265 like its butter and it has the benefit of having a smaller file size than XAVC. Loving the C70. Cheers!

[@seahawker791]

What resolution do you use?

[@MattKitchenStories]

@@seahawker791 4K

[@nicholasolivas317]

​@@MattKitchenStoriesthis the air or pro? And what about editing the XF-AVC files? Is that a better codec or color space than these mo4 h.265? Debating of getting the Canon C70.

[@jacobnobbe.]

So much effort put into this video I learned a lot

[@LoganTremellen]

I don't think I commented before - This video SAVED ME! Only shoot in XFAVC - Makes editing soooooooo much better

[@LoganTremellen]

@Mr. Acosta Full sped 2020 MBP 16 - just shoot in XFAVC and you’ll be fine. At 4K 120 I still get lag, but it’s doable

[@canartsavetheworld]

What a legend, I just got my c70 today and tomorrow I was going to do that exact test. Now I don’t have to. Thanks.

[@laurencegrant2882]

Great video and work. Eventually I have ...... My default setting. Card A 422 4k Lgop (no need for All-i and file sizes!) Card B 420 1080 proxy with Rec709 colour space. Works great and I send an 4k HDMI signal to my Ninja V (500gb SSD) in Log 2, but view it in my fav LUT while shooting. Use as extra backup if I run out of Card A (anglebird 128gb) space and need to format it. Sorted ! I think !!!

[@AdrianPenny]

I've watched this video at least 5 times throughout the course of owning my C70. Thank you for making this video.

One of the best, if not the best review and analysis of what really matters regarding the recording options brought by the C70, you have just cleared my mind and decided with which camera I will buy! Def the C70! thank men! you have just won a subscriber!

[@scottievee330]

Incredibly useful and appreciated video. Thanks. I've had the C70 since Dec 30th. Love it. Still figuring it all out. Finally got a hold of the auto focus...

[@JOMprodBeta]

i'm loving the c70 and after getting mine, i'm loving even more all the enthusiastic c70 users i'm finding on youtube!

[@RayValdezPhotography]

the 10 bit codecs are all h265 except the xf avc. that might be why the files dont get bigger that much. you basically can get pro res 422 quality in a way smaller file if all-i h265. as for the 46.9 you can make a 50 preset u can drag and drop on all the clips.

[@ayomaggotz]

The hand written cards is more effort than I would of done, subbed.

[@JasonToddRoberts]

Thanks. I was getting ready to do the same thing with all the shooting settings. I better grab a cup of coffee for this one.

I like the breaking music, thanks for detailed information.

[@delizioes]

Good video! You can see how much work you put into it :)

[@TheArtofGuitar]

When I choose 422 10-bit and I import the file it's blacked out. Any idea why?

[@SoundItOutFilms]

Hmmm, can you give some more info? Does the clip appear in full with audio just black?

[@classicradio]

cool thanks had issues with the black bars now realised was the UHD thing

[@GDoggProductions]

That test at the end pretty much knocked it right out the park!!! i HONESTLY couldn't tell the difference 😶😶😶.... you're making me question my life when it comes to what settings i should shoot in 😅 Great video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@RodrigoPolo]

To be able to see the MP4 files, use a MacBook with M1 proccesor, it is a hardware decoding issue with HEVC/H.265

[@BrandonTalbot]

This was rad! I would love to see a follow up now that it has raw:)

[@SoundItOutFilms]

Thanks! I actually did make a video about the new raw and it’s sizes if you’re interested you can search for it on my channel

[@BrandonTalbot]

@@SoundItOutFilms PERFECT!!!

[@phillean]

Very useful and clearly explained, thank you. Watching the example video at the end on youtube on an iPad it is very difficult to see the difference. I will try it again on a 55 inch tv screen.

[@GDoggProductions]

I had to come back to this video and just watch it again You need to make a export settings video because your footage looks amazing

[@blakehoward3854]

I come back to this video so often. Great stuff.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

This was very helpful. Thanks!! I’ll likely be renting this camera so this is stuff I do not have time to check - so I appreciate it!!

[@documentaryinprogress]

That annoyance when importing DCI 4K footage to Premiere is more about Premiere itself than the footage aspect ratio. In Resolve, you have the option of filling the frame, which would be equivalent to that 50% change you mentioned. I'm not familiar with other editors, but I'm sure there might be a feature request for Adobe to implement that, so maybe you'll get it soon enough. Very useful info with the filesizes, thanks for doing that research!

[@onebadassacrobat]

Nice video and thank you for your input. I just got the C70 and I was going to say... "my camera must be busted... because those MP4' Suuuuhk" You just got a new fan... Disclaimer, i only scream for Cardi B - LOL

[@benpalhov]

such a great content over here full of useful information well done man

[@mikestuckey]

Holy Cow that difference at the end was just about negligible. KZbin compression is weird. But that 8bit version wasnt bad at all. I think for that shot you could easily get away with using the 8bit codec. But outside with high DR 10bit all the way!

[@JHJOwen]

Solid video! Thanks for giving up your time to do the research. This may have been a decision making in making me buy the C70!

[@BobbyD262]

In my experimentation, the sweet-spot on the C70 is the 422 10-bit 2K. Exact same color accuracy, small file sizes, easy to edit, and unless your punching in, I think it's very hard to tell it apart from 4k, even when upscaling to 4K.

[@therosspalmer]

XFAVC Long GOP or MP4? They have basically the same file sizes...

[@BobbyD262]

@@therosspalmer Shouldn't make much of a difference. I typically do MP4 because I switch between PAL and NTSC framerates on the same card, and I'm not sure you can do that with XFAVC.

[@TheDaddyAdams]

Thanks for this vid - I had to search a LOT to find someone covering this... You are a god send.

[@IanWhelan]

Thank you for making this video. Super helpful. Regarding your issue with resizing DCI 4k footage, you could copy and paste the scale attribute to multiple clips at once. This works for me because I generally always put all my clips from a shoot in a string-out sequence and then scrub through that and pull clips for my edit sequence.

[@Banquet...]

Great video. I’ve been watching lots of videos about 4.2.2 vs 4.2.0 and nobody can see any difference unless they move to ridiculous lighting setups and push the colours to crazy levels and even then difference is subtle. Gerald undone has a great video about it. It’s also the 4.2.2 that my computer struggles with in edit (h265) whereas 10 Bit H265 4.2.0 is fine and it’s the 10 bit that gives us way more colours. So for me def 10 bit but 4.2.2 is unnecessary slowdown. I’m now testing to see if long goo will be ok for my nature vids or all-I better for water/leaf movement etc.

[@apwr]

Thank you for this! Exactly what I & (WE) needed 💯 Keep up the great work, I’m sure this was a lot of work but well worth the watch!

For your test I looked at it fullscreen on an iMac pro, I could tell the right was sharper but after youtube compression it was way harder to tell than I thought it was going to be, HD looks fantastic

[@mosesnandi]

This video was great. You touched on a very important subject - storage vs resolution. Storage is limited, as much as we want high resolution we sometimes (mostly) can't afford it

[@pauls6043]

On windows with Quickview you can use spacebar to preview mp4 422

[@JasonToddRoberts]

Yes I could see the artifacts on the wall with the 8 bit. I have a 6K pro as well as a C70. I'm on the fence about if I should trade it for a camera that will match the C70 better.

This was a really, really useful video - I'm still shooting with humble C100 4.2.0 8 bit camera and as I look to graduate, possible to the C70 I've wondered what to expect in actual working file sizes and quality considerations. I've been feeling the 4K envy pretty bad, but more so just having 10bit 4.2.2!

[@goncalofonseca1]

Hello thank you for your patience in sharing all your knowledge. i'm considering buying the c70. I have a question that never saw answered anywhere. c300iii have raw and complex formats that record 410mb/s or higher, but has also CF express cards that match that write speeds. The fastest SD card on the market writes what? 300mb/s. With the update, if you can record 410mb/s or higher with the C70 how does the SD card manages to record that without issues? thanx
