The reason professionals want to shoot in 8K isn't for the image resolution for display, it's to give the ability to pan, zoom, crop, resize, rotate, and stabilize the video in post production before outputting a (usually 4K) downsampled final image.

[@warrentowe]

Yeah, like he said, to future proof their work

[@wds4097]

warrantowe No, that’s not what that means. The master cuts of most films (the version of the film is used for edits / production) are downsampled to 2K, a slightly widened 1080p. When those clips are downscaled and used in edits, that permanently lowers the master cut’s resolution, and any higher resolution versions of the film have to be upscaled for final release. Shooting in higher resolutions is just to give more control over zooming and focus, it has nothing to do with “future proofing.”

[@ZeldagigafanMatthew]

@@warrentowe No. Future proofing would be recording in 8k, doing little to the composition of the image, saving the raw files, and then posting a compressed 4k or 1080p file to KZbin. What Pretzels is talking about is flexibility in post. If you are targeting 1080p as your final medium, but recording in 8k (which is 16x more detail), you can zoom in onto a sixteenth of the image area without losing detail in the final render.

[@gobgobcachoo]

It's a good start on understanding resolution, bit it's mostly concerned with outputs. but you have to dig deeper to really understand how cameras operate. you need to understand all of the different codexs, the different color spaces and pulldowns. Why cell phone footage at 4K is not at all the same as 4K footage pulled from a DSLR or an aria. Plus other things such as optics, t stops, f stops, pulling focus, camera movements. And a whole bunch of other things. This Captain disillusion video would probably cover the first 15 minutes of a class.

I could see lazy teachers doing it. Like my science teacher who shows us like two videos a day. (He’s a good teacher though)

[@kikkd]

@@gobgobcachoo videos are often a great start for learners. Especially since we're talking about things that aren't visible to the eye. I agree, though. There are so many layers of information to be a competent photographer or videographer. I worked in camera sales for several years and spent hours just talking beginners and pros alike through colour theory, pixel density (yes, it's only 14mp, yes, it's better than your 40mp phone...), lenses (are you really going to shoot at f/1.2 at your kid's birthday? Cool). It was a fun time, but photographic/cinematic knowledge has really been devalued with the advent of digital photography.

[@photelegy]

4:30 I knew it and there is exactly 1 sense making usecase ... For spherical (360°) videos 8K is nice because it's stretched onto the whole 360°x180°. So normally you only see a small part of that at the same time, lets say 1080p. In this case 8K makes sense, but only really at the creators side, as our Captain said ✌️ But normally 8K is really overkill.

[@jetison333]

and also recording in way higher resolution allows you to zoom into things without losing resolution

[@SherrifOfNottingham]

The issue comes down to exactly that issue... a creator will always want to record in higher resolution than the final product, and the viewer will always want the ability to watch in the native resolution. That's literally the war

[@tparadox88]

Spherical video is unwatchable under 1080. That's where highest feasible resolution is absolutely necessary.

[@tparadox88]

Also spherical Captain D video when?

[@andymcl92]

Whilst it is 360° round and 180° vertically, it's misleading to talk about it as 360°x180° because of the spherical geometry. Really, these videos should be described as 4pi (or 4pi steradians, 4pi sr for short), which I think is much better :) Although if you stretch it out on to a plane with some kind of horrible map projection (looking at you, Mercator...) then I suppose you could label it that way. But I still prefer the sound of an 8k 4pi video!

[@SaintMatthieuSimard]

5:00 The big advantage of massive resolution is that it makes excellent raw material to work on in the montage room. You can crop quite a small section and still get a nice 2k, even a 4k out of an 8k that films much wider than needed. Imagine that you are filming a township scenery and that you gets interested into a particular section of the image for film making. Chop, Crop, Done. No quality loss!

How does it even support 4k if it's 1080p screen? KZbin doesn't give 4k as an option if whatever you're watching it on doesn't support it.

[@Erdnalexa]

ADP VLJ my iPhone is 1334x750 and I can watch up to 1080p on the KZbin app. However, there are no limitations on desktop that I know of. Except bandwidth and CPU.

[@tungom8752]

ADP VLJ it's the same codec, you can play it as long as you have the CPU for it. I'm using the old design so that may not be true for the new but I think it does show all options. But very few videos are in 4K.

[@Cooe.]

@@wwhattt Downsampling you dingus. You could play 8K KZbin videos on a 720p screen, and it would still look better than if you used a lower quality setting. It works like anti-aliasing does in a video game.

[@michaw7408]

This whole trend of "let's get the highest resolution possible" was started in Japan, where people would buy big TVs to put in their relatively small rooms. And in those situations higher resolution really does matter. The only reason why you can get away with low resolution of films in a cinema, is because everyone is far away from the screen. Once you get closer, it gets jarring. It's the same thing as with printing: something that will be looked up close (like a flyer) should be printed with really high resolution, but something that will be viewed from far away (like a billboard) can be printed in a abysmally low resolution. That's why your argument that "cinemas don't need high resolutions therefore you don't need high resolutions" was pretty weak. So yeah, resolution does matter for consumers, especially if they have a huge TV and they sit close to it.

[@walkinmn]

Although i agree with the overall point, if you're getting a big Tv for watching close, you're already doing it wrong (i know people do that but it's still wrong). When you buy a bigger TV in theory you would need to put it further away than a smaller TV of course the resolution also its variable in here. The thing is that no matter if it's 8K, 4k or 1080 the quality of the experience does not only depend on the resolution and size, it also depends on the distance between your eyes and the TV (also the audio is very important which not a lot of people care about)

Very interesting and informative video Captain D. I like how you can even talk like a ventriloquist without moving your lips at 3:45 ;-) I have also been using 4K recently but agree that it's probably not needed and 1080p is sufficient for our eyes and the needs of KZbin. Keep up the great work man!

[@jnvqc]

Funny enough flicker is the biggest advantage of crts, also known as low persistence of vision, as it eliminates blur, with enough refresh rate (a bit north of 60hz) the flicker goes away. Almost every consumer crt monitor could be overclocked to display a refresh rate without flicker, although non standard rates only work with native pc content, videos and console games would get out of sync. If you are referring to interlaced flicker, crt computer monitors have progressive scan so no problem. Some lcd tvs flicker on purpose to get more fluid motion.

[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

The real benefit of rapidly-increasing pixel density: Screens can get way bigger before the "screen door" effect manifests, because the physical pixels are so crammed together. A 50" 1920x1080 screen will make you *want* to sit 6-10' away by showing you all the space between the pixels that you don't want to know exists, much like how large CRTs would shamelessly show off all their subpixels like a repeating series of JIF peanut butter jars. A 50" 3820x2160 screen invites you to come slide that couch in close to enjoy a wider field of view and really take in the scene in front of you, even on 1080p. In the case of phones and laptops (roughly 4" to 17"), you can more comfortably massage your eyes with the screen as you sit hunched forward in some spine-defying posture that you're _totally_ going to regret when you ding 30 or 40. But you do you. I'm not you're mom or anything.
