Edit Canon R5C & R5 VR180 w/ DaVinci Resolve 18 FREE - 3D 8K 60fps RAW LT Clog3 Workflow

Canon R5 C is the most advanced VR180 camera on the market today. The NEW DaVinci Resolve 18 just released from Blackmagic Design is a great solution to edit, color, 3D calibrate, and publish 8K 60fps R5c VR180 footage with the latest Mac M1Max or M1Ultra.
In this in-depth VR180 Masterclass, I will teach you how to defish and stereo calibrate the Canon RAW fisheye footage from the Canon R5C or the Canon R5 with DaVinci Resolve 18 and Fusion 18. If you already have the Resolve Studio, this will be FREE for you with no subscription fee! We will provide free R5C footage, free plugins, free Fusion Macro, and free calibration files for you to download, follow along with this tutorial to speed up your workflow. We will cover the coloring pipeline on Canon RAW LT in Clog 3 Cinema Gamut. In the end, I will provide a private download link on the missing KZbin VR180 Creator Software link. So you can encode correctly to release VR180 video on KZbin VR and META Oculus TV.

Hugh, thanks for putting this together! I am super excited to start using VR for my channel, but am having problems with raw. I can use your test files which are .mov, however if I try to apply the STMapperlnline to my raw .CRM file I either get a stretched view (but only half the screen) or still side by side. I restarted with no changes and now I don't get a preview at all. My clip is 8k 60fps. Do you happen to have a raw file for download that I can test with? Thanks!

[@andyscherpenberg]

Maybe it's because you're using the free version of Davinci Resolve? I think 8K is only supported in the paid version (which is understandable). I have the free version too and have the same problem as you. Putting it to 4k and the workflow works like a charm. Good luck!

Hi Hugh! For starters, thanks for putting out the content you do. I just got a Quest 2 and I'm kinda fascinated by VR video. I used to do some video stuff but still photography is my jam now. But the Quest has some ideas rolling around for personal projects. I'm mostly interested in 180. I'm not a big fan of 360. Seems like either half the view is wasted or I'm missing something in half.. depending on which direction I'm looking. My question is.. you talk about the R5 and R5c here. And it seems like a lot of videos I've watched talk about the R5. I have the EOS R. Obviously, I'm not getting 8K. Can I use the 4K in the EOS R with decent results... at least until I figure out if this is something I want to do a lot? I just wasn't sure if the EOS R even has the capability. I'd like to find out before I go buy the lens. I do have a lot of 300x memory. Thanks. - Chris

Dear Hugh, again a BIG thank you for all this material. A quick question: I guess I can train to render R5C footage in 4K/60 with DaVinci Resolve and then buy the Studio version once I am convinced I am able to handle the workflow myself? All the downloaded tools are compatible with 4K footage ? Thanks a lot. Valter

[@iliaskapatos]

Thank you so much for this video👍, can't wait to get my objective and test your workflow. I thought I'll have to work with Adobe and I am happy to see that I should be able to work in Davinci. What I see with my hardware (4090 RTX and a 7950x) is that I can work in realtime with 8K 60 RAW in any 30fps timeline but it is slightly jumping on a 60fps timeline, so I hope the result will be about the same with your workflow in a 30fps timeline. Great videos 👍

[@tenderdynarts]

Awesome Hugh! Thanks:) I assume that the same workflow will work with the Atomos Ninja 5+ 8k recordings in ProRes Raw...Hopefully. I'm at the end of post on a feature film, so the upgrade to Resolve 18 will have to wait a few weeks. I've had the R5 and VR180 lens for months now - just too busy to really work with it, so all of your hard work is greatly appreciated!

[@hughhou]

Word of warning - Ninjas V+ take HDMI output in "10-bit" not "12-bit" as Canon RAW. You are losing ton of information in your "ProRes RAW". So don't get confused by marketing at Atomos - it is NOT a better solution beside letting you run longer without overheated. R5 is necessary tho with that. Resolve work great for ProRES RAW. The workflow is identical as state here. You just don't have my color page flexibility - chaning ISO in post. But you just need to nail your exposure onset when filming

Hi Hugh, thanks for this fantastic video, once again! I have 2 questions: - Do you think we could use the Canon VR lens in a Nikon Z series with adaptors? - How long does it take to show the maximum quality on the KZbin Oculus app? It says that it is already processed, and I can already see 4k on the desktop but only 1080 on KZbin VR.

[@LukesLibrary]

First attempt at editing footage from the 5.2mm RF lens and ran into a problem, when generating the STMap only one eye (left side) was being generated, to fix it I went into Fusion, when STSaver is selected you have to go to export and change clipping mode to none, then the generated STMap will have both eyes! And it works fine now. Thanks for the tutorial. :D

[@johnwate4080]

An absolute amazing tutorial - thank you so much Hugh! Unfortunately my Studio18 crashes each time I try to render out the AllSavers ... any idea how to fix this? (I substituted the original footage with a ProRes rendered as well but strangely the output size shrinks despite the ProRes movie being the full 8K ... but regardless of this or the mp4 ... crashes galore. Not sure what to do anymore...)

[@kingnt66]

Hi Hugh! Thank you for another great videos! Those contents are so valuable! Just curious. If I shoot a character with green screen background in 180VR 3D, it it possible to composite a 2D image environment (or animated environment) with my key out character and render it out as 180 3D VR format?

[@hughhou]

Yes! You put your 2D immersive envirnment on the spere projection and put them into 3D space BEHIND your 3D green screen video. You will need to watch in headset to find the correct depth to push your envirnment. Same principe you can put multiple option in different depth the comp a entire 2D assets in 3D - like in a 3D software.

[@hughhou]

Thank you.

[@Rokmononov]

Hey Hugh, First off thank you for putting all of this together! Incredible effort and gets me closer to the dream of doing everything in Resolve. I have a couple of issues and I'm hoping you can help. I just tried this on some sample footage, and noticed a couple of weird issues: 1. The VR viewer I use for local files (Skybox) didn't correctly recognize the 3D format (SBS, VR180); but this isn't an issue when using Canon's EOS VR utility. Why could this be? 2. The video seemed very mismatched once viewing in a headset (Quest 3), compared to the footage that comes from the EOS VR utility. I applied some manual 3D offset correction in Skybox and it kinda sorta helped. I'm guessing this is a result of using your calibration file instead of creating my own? I'll get to it soon! Appreciate any insight here. Thanks Hugh!

[@hughhou]

B/c resolve does not inject metadata - you need to tell skybox what it is. Meta injection has to happen in FB360 step for final delivery. Yes, create your own calibration file please. Each camera is different. Use my as a starting point.

[@Rokmononov]

Thanks@@hughhou! After I posted that I exported another video and that one did seem to preserve the metadata. Not sure where in the chain it got lost on the first test but I will keep looking into it. Going to go take some good reference videos for calibration purposes next today! Another question, have you noticed that creating calibration profiles specific to the camera for NeatVideo makes a big impact vs. using the generic profile?

[@Daveperso66]

Hey Hugh, slightly off topic but any thoughts about the Mac Studio and the best configuration for 3d video rendering in DaVinci? I don't want to fork out 7000 bucks but am I wasting my time if I buy just the base Mac Studio Max version? Is it worth upgrading to 64 of ram or should I be spending money on more SSD? It is hard to find any online reviews of the Studio for 3D video editing and rendering so wondered if you had any experience even if I know you generally use the Razor. Thanks

[@hughhou]

I am considering buying Mac Studio but since I have maxout specs Macbook Pro M1Max so the need of upgrading is low. If you go with Mac Studio - I will highly recommand to max out the specs except SSD / Storage. As storage is useless on VR - we will generate TB of footage each shoot - so we usually store it off computer with SSD Raid - which is way cheaper than Mac own storage. So go with 1TB - but the rest you should max it out.

[@Nicolas-pl1mq]

Hi Hugh VR master, I am currently looking into the stereoscopic workflow in Davinci (color tab > 3D). I was wondering if you have tested the "stereo alignment" tools and what you think about the "native" 3D workflow in davinci. I use ZCam for 180 stereo. I continue exploring but it looks quite handy. (the only think I need to figure out is how to remove tripod).

[@hughhou]

It is great! You can convert VR180 to 3D prob using that. Stereo calibrate does not understand fisheye distortion.

[@RolandAyala]

Holy cr@p. You rock! Thank you so much for this. I'm looking forward to trying out your workflow later this night -- it's not something I would have come up on my own w/o a huge amount of time invested and even then, ???. That I don't need to use Premier is an added bonus. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Please also pass along a thank you to Andrew Hazelden and Kimchi too :-)

[@hughhou]

Haha thank you! Yes this tutorial is literally for you then.

[@RolandAyala]

@@hughhou Your tutorial works like a charm and is right to the point with no fluff -- wish more tutorials were like this. Once set up, easy workflow, but I would have never figured this out on my own! THANK YOU! I haven't done the stereo calibration yet (real job calls) but definitely need to -- I think I'm going to throw up after watching my first self-produced VR video. Canon should get you on their payroll! I would have returned my VR lens if not for this video -- so happy to have a solution that works exclusively out of resolve.

[@marting974]

Super tutorial, thx a lot for the info. I have a question tho, the Stmap you provided are working well on some footage and gives bad stereoscopy for other clips. In my understanding, if I do my STmap for a lens/body combo, will it be good for any clip using this same combo ? So far the best equi conversions and stereo results I get comes from Canon VR utility but I would like to by pass this process as doing the conversion in DR and only on final edit is way better ! Thx.

[@hughhou]

If you do your own STMap combo - I guarantee you will get better result than the Canon VR unity. But yes, I do calibration everything for a new video or a new day. There is many reason will change the calibration - like focus / left - right eye adjustment, outside condition. If you practices the calibration in Mistika or In Resolve - it just become second nature to you soon. I hope this help. My temp is just get you started as I will not know your camera setup.

[@marting974]

@@hughhou Thx for quick reply, that's perfect. Thanks to your tutorial doing the STmap myself is easy. So to be perfect STmap should be done for each different scene, if I change my shot in focus or positioning I should do a new one, correct ?

[@hughhou]

That really depend on your system specs. If that is the case, I will recommand to transcode your Canon RAW LT into ProRes first using the official canon tool or just Resolve and then use the workflow here. It will be a lot faster. Also if that still does not work, I will recommend try my other workflow which is a lot faster here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4KvqotsdtWoe8k

[@DavidFlores-3D-VR]

@@hughhou Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. The actual render time was 12hr 15s. The render time isn't the problem though. Very new to this but have been editing and shooting 2D videos for years, never needing much more than color correction and titles with simple transitions. I'm shooting with the Canon R5 and the dual fish eye lens. My computer is a bit dated running Windows 10 home with the Intel i7-5820 3.30 ghz, 32gb RAM and the RTX 2070 Super for a graphics card with 8GB ram. Bought Resolve Studio and was just lost how to edit with it, have been using Adobe Premier for years. Found your video featuring Resolve and the R5c. Followed your instructions and installed the KartaVR package, checked them all off in the fusion reactor, set the Stmapper and everything seemed to be working great. Video had stretched to the corners for monitoring, no longer circles. Did a basic edit with some cuts and simple fade transitions. Went to the Deliver tab and selected h265 and rendered... It did not stretch to the corners, rendered video is back to being 2 circles. I can't seem to find any instructions on the rendering/delivery settings but I have checked and double checked the settings you laid out in the video and they are right on. Any idea what I would miss that would make everything fine on the timeline but not render properly?

Great tutorial, Hugh, as always! I'm trying to create my own ST Map corrections and the Fusion STmap-Creation file shows a different dimension (6144x4320) in Viewer 2. Is there a way I can fix this?

[@hughhou]

It should not. Maybe some node settings is off? Turn off fit to view and manually adjust resolution on all nodes?

[@jerry_beers]

@@hughhou I'm seeing the same thing and the anaglyph image is all off. Still hunting down the reason.

[@jerry_beers]

The STMapper1 node was set to "Size: STMap Frame". When I change it to "Size: Image Frame", that improves things. Still haven't gone all the way through the workflow though.

Hello Hugh, is this still the best workflow in 2024 for editing 180 VR shot on canon lens for Vision Pro? Note that I'm editing 6K Clog3 footage, not 8K RAW, so perhaps Premiere might be the best workflow? That being said, there still might be a need to use your calibrator plug-in, which can only be done in Davinci, correct? If there are any other videos of yours with alternative newer methods, please point me in the right direction, thanks (:

[@hughhou]

So in 2024 I use this workflow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4rYgnytjb10bZYsi=9tjuo7_4PugYmA9D and this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYa7on6qp7RqmLMsi=DHqZQlpJ-AlEeHrU

Ok Hugh I found this tutorial and I'm trying to apply it for my double Go 2 setup instead of the Mistika Boutique option :) to mimic the Canon R footage I have created another timeline and putted the two fisheye footages side by side to mimic the Canon and use this timeline as a clip in the main timeline to drop the effects on - but since the FOV is different to canon's (and also different in 30 and 50 fps) - I am not sure it's going to be good starting with your template. Are you happy to maybe share the double GO 2 setup template you created? or give tips on how to adjust? Also, any tips on how to sync the two cameras? I get there's no genlock but maybe you have some experience with this? I've tried to click them both at the same time and still got a bit of a difference even when using 50fps (I sync them by eye using the audio).

​@ hello, I have the same problem, how did you solve? Thanks

[@herbal7ea]

Do I need to do anything specific for smooth playback in Resolve? I was able to follow the whole process, and get a sample video to my Quest 2 and KZbin. But now when I try to actually do playback and edit in Resolve, the playback is so bad, like 2-3 frames over several seconds. I am on an M1 Ultra and the footage is 8K RAW LT 60. Also with 8k RAW 60, the r5c doesn't allow proxies on a second card. Any suggestions?

[@hughhou]

Yes, if you are on Mac - the better solution now is to use FCPX to convert the file into ProRes 4444 uncompressed and then use Resolve. It is Canon RAW LT is testing on any machine b/c of lack of GPU render. Do that you will be 10x time faster. Alternative, you can use the Canon RAW converter - but you might need to boot into rosetta. For 8K RAW 60fps, you can def do second card proxy recording - it is recommended actually. What stop you from doing so?

[@herbal7ea]

@@hughhou You're right (but you know this 😉) - when I put it in 8k mp4 HEVC 422, it disables the proxy mode. I assumed it was the same for 8k RAW LT 60, but now have access to it. I did find in this as well that I can playback raw if I remove (not disable) the anaglyph effect you provided - probably will be something I will still add time to time, since Mac doesn't support Quest II directly in resolve (option is grayed out ). Thank you for the quick response!

[@meysamkazemi.360nama7]

tnx hughhou Can I just get the regular r5 for this? It is not possible to buy r5c for me😔

[@Create1st]

I wonder if anyone can help? I used this workflow with the R5C and it works great (as long as you make sure to keep the camera horizontal while filming so you don't have to correct for vertical parallax) However Davinci Resolve doesn't currently handle Ambisonic audio, so I had to import the resulting footage into Premiere Pro to add the audio tracks. The issue with this is that the Premiere Pro VR settings then try and reproject the footage into equi-rectangular projection again, but in this case it's already been done in Resolve. To get around this I ignored the VR in the project settings but set to VR equi-rectangular 180 SBS in the export settings. This seems to work fine. Except! If you try to add text or graphics and use VR Plane to Sphere the text ends up getting warped. For now I just accepted this and made the title "purposely" look curved but is there any way to do this correctly? (I suppose I could manually place two versions of the text in the correct places and then manually shift them a bit to get the stereo depth offset, but surely there has to be a neater way of doing it?)

I tried to instead convert it to apple pro res 4444 using Final Cut Pro X and that file is recognized by Davinci but it just appears as a left/right video file instead of being combined into the actual VR video. Im on a Mac if that makes a difference.

Yes you need to transcode. In Canon RAW - at this point I recommend transcode as well to ProRes before moving forward. Low spec computer can’t handle ProRes RAW or Canon RAW
