5K GH5 Test - Sharper, cleaner, more flexible footage

[@pdelinikolas]

Great Video! One thing I did not understand is, when shooting on the full resolution does the horizontal filed of view also expand? Does the "normal" 16:9 4K comes from oversampling the full sensor, or croping in? Thanks!

[@ShotByMyles]

Thanks! That’s a good question and I realise the way I demonstrated the extra resolution can confuse things, but it’s the same field of view (or extremely close) width-wise, but there are more pixels packed in to the 5K image and you gain FOV above and below the usual 16:9 window. You can crop in to those extra pixels to add zooms / pans / rotations while keeping a 4K resolution, or you can use the whole 5K image in a 16:9 format and have more pixels width-wise than 4K gives, and still get extra image above and below to tilt / reframe with. Hope that makes sense!

[@ShotByMyles]

SporkStudio also yes, the GH5 4K mode is already over-sampled on the sensor.

[@pdelinikolas]

​@@ShotByMyles Ah I see! Thanks for clarifying that! So it seems that all other 4K modes are indeed oversampled and not croped on the sensor, so it is not a pixel to pixel readout.

[@ShotByMyles]

SporkStudio correct! In the video I said outputting the 5K video as 4K is sharper as it’d be oversampled- that’s assuming the bigger benefit comes with over-sampling in post rather than what the camera does.

[@pdelinikolas]

@@ShotByMyles I do not currently own a GH5 to test this, but I think it would be an interesting comparison to see if the oversampling done inside the camera (or in post) improves the image quality or not. You would have to shoot a normal 4K with a zoom lens and then shoot the same thing with the 5K mode but zoom out a bit so that when you crop to 4K pixel to pixel in post you see the same filed of view and can compare the overall sharpness and image quality. The reason I think this would be interesting is because even though camera manufacturers promote oversampling (as it is better for scaling down because you do not lose any light and filed of view from the sensor as with croping), TV specifications (EBU specs come to mind) ask that when you shoot something in true 4K (not UHD) and need to deliver to UHD, you should crop in and not scale down as a pixel to pixel copy is better than oversampling.

Super helpful video! Now I've applied your tips to my GH5ii

[@DrVikramShrivastava]

You are such a humble and hoest person. Very soft-spoken. I like your review.

[@ShotByMyles]

Thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words!

[@deverenfogle3201]

GH5 is still killing them all! :) Could you do a video on how you shot for the transitions and then how you edited them?

[@knobelix]

If you use 3:2 ratio for video you can record 5184x3456, that brings u a higher effective resolution for 16:9 material! 4:3 = 4992x3744 -> in 16:9 -> 4992x 2808 = 14.017.536 pixels 3:2 = 5184x3456 -> in 16:9 -> 5184x2916 = 15.116.544 pixels Easies way is to set 16:9 then you dont need to crop anything later you need to disable anamorphic mode , thats all ;)

[@Logic23music]

Great video bro!

[@EposVox]

This was actually a big selling point for the GH5 when I was first looking into it for this very reason.

[@ryanmahendradani891]

I am GH5 user, and I am today years old of knowing this feature. I usually using slow motion in 1080 with my video, and I never even try this.Very helpful and 1 more card to play in my creativity!

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

This is incredible! What a genius way of utilizing the available settings. We are very excited to see how we can capitalize on this information as we currently produce videos using the GH5s. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@ShotByMyles]

Thanks a lot! Please be aware though that this relates to the GH5, if you're on the GH5S I don't think you get 5K with the sensor being a lower resolution :)

[@BenjaminFriant]

Thank you so much

[@skybizvideomediaproduction6167]

were making a lot of videos at 1:1 for Instagram so instead of sampling down from 4K 16:9 this gives me the ability to go to 1:1 easily from 4:3 ratio, then sample down to 4K 16:9 but have lots of movement and also to shoot vertically. Will see how this all turns out but very interesting .

[@MyJeanf]

Good point to know, thanks Myles.

[@jaysnappsmediallc]

man that edit was sick!

[@dpc4548]

I did this years ago on the GH4 and yea, the 5k is amazing in these cameras. Recently, I've managed to upscale them even more in Resolve and get some very useful recomps.

[@lastfrontier]

Excellent video! You seemed to have covered all the bases for anyone trying this themselves, thank you for that.

[@Iliya_sh72]

For the past 1 year many great cameras have been introduced to the market and yet I feel my remarkable GH5 still beats all of them in overall bang for the buck and options. If Sony Alpha users had 5K option they would shove it down your throat every 5 seconds hahaha I actually have an anamorphic setup and if exposed correctly, the footage out of this camera is stunning. Having the 5K option is just the icing on the cake. That "Anamorphic desqueeze display" is such a huge help when shooting with a 2X anamorphic scope

[@ShotByMyles]

Absolutely, it’s a brilliant camera! Would love to try an anamorphic setup at some point, you must be having a great time! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@perrymorrisjr]

To simplify, is this using anamorphic mode without an anamorphic lens that gives us better resolution?

[@ShotByMyles]

That’s correct!

[@perhaar]

No. That is not the case. It is not as sharp as recording UHD when you zoom in to fill the frame. Try for your self. But that's not all together a bad thing. It takes a lot of the videoness out of the footage 👍

[@ShotByMyles]

Per Frits I think you’re speaking in terms of sharpness, but the question was ‘do you get better resolution’, and 5K is obviously more resolution / more pixels and more pixel density than 4K.

[@perrymorrisjr]

Obviously, 5K is more resolution than 4K and thus is the point, not sharpness.

[@robjackson9364]

Great review of using 5k on the GH5! I'm not interested in extra pixels, I think what would swing me is image quality improvements with the utilization of h.265. The Samsung NX1 is still a beast of a camera 4 years later mainly because it uses h.265. I'd love to see or perform a test between 4K 10bit 4:22 150 mbps vs 5k 10 bit 422 200 mbps of pans, tilts, gimbal, and movement within statics (statics are not a good test for compression because codecs thrive with limited changes in the scene). Andrew Reid from EOSHD did a nice review of the 5k feature, but I'm still curious with scene changes and comparisons.

[@ShotByMyles]

Thanks! I’m probably not the man for that job- but it’s worth bearing in mind the 5K is 420 and not 422 if that matters to you. Resolution aside, I’d guess at the 4K mode because its 150Mbps is spread across less than half the pixels of the 5K’s 200Mbps. I know HEVC is more efficient but I’m not sure it bridges a gap that big.

[@robjackson9364]

@@ShotByMyles 5k is not 10 bit 422?! Son of a biscuit. 4k 10 bit 422 All-I, 150mbps, 1080 10 bit 422 All-I 60fps, and 100mbps are pretty impressive in themselves. Just picked up the BMPCC4k and I'll be interested in seeing the differences. Thanks for the reply!

[@ShotByMyles]

Thanks Rob, I’m very jealous of the BMPCC4K, looks like a ridiculously good camera! If you aren’t already, I recommend subscribing to a channel called ‘Make. Art.

[@otm777]

Nice! Can’t wait to give this a try.

[@ShotByMyles]

Hope it works out 👊🏻

[@jetthe860]

The thing I noticed with this technique is that when working on a 4k timeline in premiere, the 4k footage is actually sharper than the 6k downscaled version. This is probably due to the pixel mapping when scaling with an odd resolution. When working with the native resolution of the 6k files, while matching the frames exactly, I saw no discernible differences between the 4k version. So the biggest factor I see for using 6k would be for image flexibility rather an improved image quality. Tested this both on premiere and Fcpx.

[@ShotByMyles]

That's very interesting, thanks for the feedback. If true that's frustrating that they aren't able to use the extra resolution for sharpness, wonder what the impact would be on noise though. Cheers

[@DrPhilro]

Did you export? Probably won't see any noticeable difference until you've downscaled.

[@pieterpauwelbeelaerts5995]

hmm, I did a zoom test once. the 4k all I has bad quality at 150percent zoom while the 6k is holding up. the 6k is best if you plan to zoom in imho.

[@ShotByMyles]

Thanks for watching! Not sure I explained m the FOV very well (check out the pinned comment) but you’ll only gain FOV at the top and bottom of the usual 16:9 frame 👍🏻 Width-wise it’s the same as shooting 4K except for having more pixels packed in than 4K.

[@AcuraAddicted]

Shot by Myles Yes, and thank you for your response! I got that I only gain top and bottom. This is still very useful to my application. See, due to a very crammed space in my vehicle I am very close to my camera when shooting my vids. So I have a very little pan/zoom room to play with when switching frames. I already downsize my vids to 1440p anyway, but that extra space on top and in the bottom will add on to the available pan room, which is especially useful when I need to reframe myself so my hand gestures can be seen. Again, I’m very glad I stumbled upon your video, as I didn’t know about this before. Thank you!

Testing for green screen is a really good idea! It should be ideal in theory... thanks for your comment

[@ShotByMyles]

Hi John, I must point out that while it’s 10 bit the chroma sampling is 420, so that might actually not be ideal for green screen- I’m hearing it’s not perfect so something to bear in mind! The 4K All-i 10 bit 422 might edge this out for intensive green screen work...

Sure, that part wasn’t actually anamorphic, I was testing the GHalex LUT and I’m pretty sure those shots are all in 8-bit HD at 100P! It was the Leica 15mm f1.7 on a Zhiyun Crane v2, more of that sequence will be shown in the next video I’m planning to do which will be a quick look at the LUT :)

[@heartshapedfilms]

Literally came for the Leeds montage - lived it loved it.

[@pieterpauwelbeelaerts5995]

hi, thank you for the great video. I am not a youtuber, but learn a lot here! What I am looking for is a way to use v log l with internal recording, because even in 400mbits the colors do artefact sometimes when I apply LUTS. the 200mbit 5K, because it is h265 and GOP, is way more efficient then a 400mbit all I, so in theory it would contain more data to play with despite being 4 2 0.

I keep it all centered in frame when shooting. Because my Mac 2016 does not natively play H265 then I have to ProRes all my files before I begin editing. But I use a 3840x1670 timeline which gives me a ton of flexibility and the clarity of the image is fantastic.@@skybizvideomediaproduction6167

Hey if i needed a anamorphic lense?

[@ShotByMyles]

No I didn't use an anamorphic lens for this, a standard lens using the anamorphic mode on the GH5.

[@nils_ninja]

Hey thx for the Answer. Where can i see the workflow and the desqueeze technic for fcpx can you give be a Tip ? Have a nice day

[@ShotByMyles]

Nils Ninja no problem! The process for de-squeezing is when you are using an anamorphic setup- in that scenario the image is squeezed and distorted by the anamorphic lens, and then in post you would need to stretch the image out to make it look normal (you end up with 6K wide in that case). This technique is different, it’s done without using an anamorphic lens so the image recorded is not squeezed to begin with. In post that means you don’t need to do anything special, you can use your regular 4K project in FCPX and drop the 5K footage in as normal. The clip will automatically ‘fit’ within the frame on your 4K timeline, which means you’ll have borders down the sides because it’s a taller image than your 16:9 project. Go to Spatial Conform on the Inspector for the clip and pick ‘Fill’ and it will zoom in to the clip so that it fills the sides (4992 pixels fit to your 4K width of 3840) and you have room above and below to use if you need to 👍🏻

[@djlouviere1]

[@alainluck]

Excellent video, have to try this 👍🏼

[@lightstruckproduction2325]

It's all about getting the best picture quality from your footage. 6K of course is better than 4K. But you do that by halving your bitrate. Bitrate is an equally important part of the equation, I believe. Are you actually getting sharper, cleaner footage using the anamorphic mode with a higher resolution, but lower bitrate?

[@billpancake]

[@hottamedia8104]

Excellent B-roll sequence. How did you do the last shot where it flips? Thank you.

[@ShotByMyles]

Thanks! That was done by putting both clips in a compound clip, reducing their size and putting them in to position on top of each other. I used masks on the clips to soften where they join and covered it with clouds all within the compound clip. Then on the compound clip you zoom back in to the first clip and key frame the camera movement. Hope that made some sense!

Do you remember what proxy you used when editing your footage. All the proxys I have to choose from are 16×9 ratio.

[@ShotByMyles]

Thanks Randy, I’ll bear that in mind! In case it helps, my workflow with it so far has been: 1. Correct white balance (if necessary). If on FCPX, avoid the white balance function if it impacts luma 2. Add the conversion LUT if using cine-D or HLG to convert to v-log 3. If shot is over-exposed (which is recommended for slow motion) bring down exposure to normal here. Skin tones and details should be below 70 IRE otherwise they could be lost in the LUT’s rolloff. I normally disable the conversion LUT in step 2 to judge that. 4. Apply GHAlex LUT 5. Adjust saturation / luma to taste. If skin tones are too pink I may adjust colour in mids or try adjusting white balance done in step 1.
