Yeah a RESOLVE plug-in would mean it gets used a lot more.

[@williamsolis1]

This is great. As I often switch between photo and video. I don't like using NDs in bright light to get my shutter down so I often shoot 120fps to compensate. Nor do I like using the gimbal. Yet I would love for this tech to be directly in DaVinci Resolve to further streamline the process

[@troywalt4834]

Amazing, thank you very much for this update, I had no idea of it and still thought that you needed IBIS off to post stabilize, glad its not the case anymore, it was such an annoying thing to have to switch off ibis and to be forced to know before hand you would choose catalyst browse. Now I am just waiting for Sony to implement this directly in FCPX and Premiere pro

Apparently they made Catalyst prepare plug-in for premiere. I haven’t tried it but someone said it exists

Excellent video. Just received mySony RX100 VII yesterdy, and it works with Catalyst Browse stabilizer, too - what an extra bonus!

[@bwoodsjr]

Appreciate this update!! Sony is killing it!

[@philippscheithauer]

Im sure blackmagic Design would love to implement the gyro stabilization into davinci resolve like they did for the bmpcc cameras. To convert more Sony users to their NLE. But it took Sony over a decade to finally push camera firmware updates in camera instead of some buggy software with usb. Gyro is such a nice feature, but literally no one uses it with the hassle of catalyst browse which just sucks as a software…

[@_CRiT_hits_]

It's honestly a nightmare, way more than KZbinrs let on. Crashes constantly. Can't export h.265, so you inflate all your file sizes for no gain in quality. Can't bulk export unless you shell out $299/yr for Catalayst Prepare. I'd rather just use a gimbal so I don't have to hassle with it.

[@philippscheithauer]

@@_CRiT_hits_ For sure, agreeing with everything you said. But a title like "no need for gimbals anymore" reads better. Certainly not an opinion from someone that shoots a lot of client stuff with tighter deadlines… the catalyst workflow screws every deadline

[@meyerdigitalfilm]

i use this a lot for weddings the last 2 years and it worked great for me. With my sony a7SIII i have 3 Modes: 25FPS ACTIVE / 50 FPS ACTIVE / and 50 FPS no Stabilisation for Gyro / Tracking shots... No i dont have to switch between different camera bodies and can much more focus on the creative side 🙂 sorry for my English

[@PhotoGearFun]

I'm sure it's situational but in my testing I have found Active Steady Shot and Catalyst make for the best stabilization if you can deal with the crop from both. I tend to shoot with Active Steady Shot since in most cases that is stable enough for my needs but if not I apply a 10% crop in Catalyst and we are good to go. The shutter speed thing might be an issue for some but for my needs it's not an issue. Thanks for the video! Cheers.

[@LeeZavitz]

I typically shoot with active on. But I noticed if it has any weird “robotic” movement catalyst browse also kind of still shows it. When it’s off it’s less obvious and has a more floaty look. That said I will probably always use active stabe because I don’t always shoot with intention of using catalyst browse

[@DominickVerstoepTrouwfilmmaker]

Now you have to use catalyst before the import, it turns out when you import the files using the programs own import feature (like for example in fcpx) you cannot stabilize it afterwards.

[@kakashin888888]

The free version doesn't allowed batch export and will need to convert videos individually... Very time consuming

[@twesttv]

Great video. Tested this with my FX9 and works great. Sony is just killing it these days.

[@StevenYen]

this is awesome thanks for sharing - for me not being able to use with active steady shot was a dealbreaker

[@惠成功-y6g]

For me the biggist down side of catalyst browse is that the only output option for 10bit is XAVC Intra. There is no H264 IPB options in the free version.

[@itismaxs]

Thanks for the video. Amazing what the software is able to do. I was about to buy a ZV-E10 for some video stuff but was struggling if it would provide good results when not having a gimbal with me cause missing IBIS. I do believe that this could work because of the possibility to stabilize with CB afterwards.

[@archishmann]

This software is still not M1 Native!

[@isaacsnowhite104]

Apparently there is a plug-in for Premiere.

[@avdcam]

The accelerometer data is available now in Blackmagic Cameras now too. And you use that data natively in Resolve. Heres hoping Canon gets the message.

[@LeeZavitz]

Did they really? I actually didn’t know this. That’s huge for blackmagic shooters. It’s so much better than warp stabilizer. Plus if it’s already built into resolve that’s amazing

[@avdcam]

@@LeeZavitz Yup it was a free firmware update if you can believe it. I'm hoping Sony actually doesn't make a plugin but instead updates their codec spec to allow third parties to read back the accelerometer data. If they did that then Resolve could use their existing software and instead of reading back the data from blackmagic cameras they get it from Sony's directly. It would be extremely useful for VFX and camera tracking work too, so if the data can be extracted it would be a boon for camera matching teams everywhere.

[@zolwikwkurwik]

Record 4k video 10 bit. Use catalyst browse/prepare to stabe even without any crop. Zoom 600 on both clips and you will see how much less details are after using catalyst. 4k after catalyst looks like 1080p upscaled to 4k.

[@LeeZavitz]

Only if you do a heavy crop. And it looks sharper if you keep your shutter speed higher.

[@MladenBorisovPhoto]

why would you zoom to 600% - the client or audience will watch it 60% on their phones 5 % on some big ass tv and the other pc or tablets.... and for sure if you keep it around 100 % nobody will see any difference....

[@zolwikwkurwik]

@@MladenBorisovPhoto It's not about me zooming, the point of my comment is that catalyst degrades the image quality even if you don't crop.

[@definingslawek4731]

[@grahamfjlaws6108]

You do a great job of talking up this software, but only briefly allude to its MAJOR drawback. If you have a video file that is 10-bit colour and you modify it any way within Catalyst Browse, when you come to save the file it will have its colour resolution reduced to 8-bit. If you want to keep 10-bit resolution you will need to RENT Catalyst Prepare. As a comparison, if you buy a Blackmagic camera, you get the Studio version of Davinci Resolve with all future updates, an IMMENSE software development, for free (worth £275).

[@LeeZavitz]

I don’t know what you are going on about? You still have many 10bit export options you have to choose the correct export settings

[@grahamfjlaws6108]

@@LeeZavitz its a 10bit container but when you color grade and push you can see banding like its an 8 bit file, sadly. To get actual 10bit exports, you have to pay for catalyst prepare.

That's right, the exported file is gonna be 8bit. Just bring back the exported file to catalyst and look the metadata windows. I believe to maintain the 10bit you`ll need the paid version (Catalyst Prepare) as Graham mentioned. Kind regards

[@shinzychan5117]

Black magic has similar stabilization now not just go pro

[@definingslawek4731]

Finally becoming mainstream, gyro stab is so amazing and I'm surprised it took this long for other cameras besides action cameras to implement it. Red komodo does not have it unfortunately, which is silly considering it's mean to replace gopros in high budget film making. But now if you want to film with a red komodo for aerial shots and stabilise it you need to run the komodo with a gopro on top of it, and then apply the gopro gyro data to the red footage with gyro flow. All cause a 6 thousand dollar camera with no mechanical shutter did not want to include a gyro for 2 bucks.

[@markshirley01]

Plugin for Final Cut - yes please 🔥

[@theyreallnamedgeorge6997]

So has Sony started supporting natively M1 macs with this software? I have this 32 core gpu in my macbook pro and it uses mostly the cpu's and not the GPU's. I switch back to my older macbook pro with the radeon GPU and it takes half the time to stabilize the clip. So unfortunate that they still haven't updated this yet.

[@awesomeboy5122]

[@PuthethuKollam]

Informative video. I’m confused about the cranking up of shutter speed which you didn’t elaborate. I doubt this will hamper shooting in low light situations? Can you explain this more in a separate video?

[@LeeZavitz]

If you don’t bump the shutter you get weird motion blur from when it gets stabilized. So to avoid that you need to bump it up more

[@12yfilms]

Hi buddy, I have a problem because it does not stabilize at 50fps, but at 25fps there is no such problem (it stabilizes both with body stabilization turned off and with standard and active stabilization)

[@petrub27]

But shutter speed needs to be at least 1/200 for catalyst to work, so it won't look that great on 24p

[@LeeZavitz]

It’s not ideal shutter speed but it’s not like it’s going to look horrible. You saw all the test footage. Does the faster shutter speed really look bad to you? 99% of people wouldn’t notice

Hi Lee, Amazing content! subscribed! I was playing today with all the settings that you mentioned, all ok when I recorded with my FX30 and the Sony 11mm 1.8 (IBIS ON, all stab ON), I manage to stabilize it and was great, but when I change to my 200-600 mm, I can't stabilize any video, the lens stabilization was ON, and the camera was ON also, like when I used the 11mm, any advice? would be great if I can stabilize the Sony 200-600 mm videos (settings was, 60 fps, shutter 1/800) and aperture auto.

I think if your footage was shot on 10-bit, it'd be output to 8-bit automatically... unless you get the paid ver. This is kinda deal breaker for most, unless they'd resolved this.

[@rickymcc9072]

Thanks for sharing. I'm new to videography, but familiar shooting stills. I want to shoot some ski action next week on vacation, never used Catalyst Browse, but think it may be perfect for what I want to do. Did I understand you correctly...? That it's best to not worry about setting active stabilisation and go half the 180 degree speed setting? i.e. for 24fps go not 1/50 but 1/100 shutter. For 30fps shoot not at 1/60 but 1/125 and 60fps go 1/250th? I have an FX3, but there is a limit to the kit I can ski with and want, as a priority, to shoot some really good sports action stills, so I'm taking my a7iv with my main zooms (I love primes, when I can, but can't heft those as well). I know my FX3 is a better video camera (eg 120fps and less rolling shutter) than my a7iv, but 12Mp stills aren't going to cut what I need, especially if I need to crop (as I usually do). I'm packing a 16-35mm PZ f4 and GMs mkii 24-70 and 70-200mm. Normally I find that the 24-70 gives me best results working pretty close to air jump action with mountain backgrounds for context. I want some talking head to camera, so thought of shooting my a7iv at 24fps in 4k, S-Cinetone and outputting via DaVinci to a 24fps timeline. I think I will need ND filtration (as it's pretty bright) so was intending doing a custom white balance to compensate for any small colour shift introduced by a VND. If I can then I will shoot with more neutral fixed NDs. I'm thinking of slowing 30fps to 80% and 60fps to 40%. I plan to do VO, music or foley SFX for action clips separately to avoid issues slowing 30 and 60fps. Because of my inexperience doing alpine action video, I'm unsure what is the best frame rate to use for fast pace tracked and panned action is? Any tips or advice from anyone would be appreciated. I can't manage to ski with my DJI gimbal so I'm thinking that Catalyst Browse will be near perfect for my needs. I realise that there will be a crop factor for using CB and also shooting 60fps on an a7iv. Unless I can rig one of my ski poles as a makeshift monopod, then everything will be hand held. That will be unworkable normally with a 70-200mm, but a faster shutter of 1/250 for 60fps may just work. By the time I get to view on a big monitor, it will be too late to go back and re-shoot, so I really need to get the technicals shot right first time.

[@AwesomeKicks]

Yo! I have a video idea for you. Explore the creative looks on your Sony A7iv. Profile FL and IN seem to be underdogs. Would love to see some content about that topic. Not a whole lot out there. Perhaps compare Sony creative looks with Fujifilm Film simulations?

[@LeeZavitz]

They aren’t really the same thing. Probably why there isn’t much content on it because I wouldn’t know how to Navigate Sony creative looks to Fuji film sims. Creative looks are nothing like film sims

Yeah it looks mushy and ghosty when you shoot at a “proper” shutter speed. But most people. (Even me) wouldn’t really notice 1/125 shutter on 24fps and if you know you are going to stabilize that footage afterwords it’s best to just do it and maybe add some of that motion blur back in post

[@LeeZavitz]

Just has to be at least double what you would normally set it at. You can still sometimes get away with regular shutter speed but you will notice more weird motion blur

[@chosenideahandle]

I'm sure you figured it out already. Put your camera into manual first. You would normally set your shutter to twice your framerate for the right amount of motion blur (for 24fps you use a 1/50 shutter speed). For stabilizing the footage you don't want motion blur, so you double the shutter speed (or higher). So for 24fps use at least 1/100 for the shutter speed.

Unfortunately not. Sony could easily add this, as all that is missing from the metadata is the focal length (which we know we can manually put in for IBIS using manual lenses). As usual Sony is being a bit frustrating. There are lens adaptors you can buy to add the ability to define focal length, but they're only available for certain mounts and limited to the focal lengths covered.

Gyroflow is made by the FPV community, I didn't know gyroflow works on sony cameras until now, I will have to compare it to catalyst browse. If its only marginally better I suppose there won't be much point as catalyst browse removes rolling shutter as well and I'm not sure gyroflow can do that. But it being part of davinci is clean.

[@miabaerfilm]

Does the camera need communication with an AF lens or manual lens with chip to deliver gyro data, right? So you cant stabilize videos shot with full-manual lenses.

[@chosenideahandle]

I would recommend using the free software called Gyroflow for manual lenses. Sony has neglected to allow us to manually add the missing info needed for manual lenses (the camera does record gyro data with the manual lenses, but Catalyst blocks it once it sees no focal length). Gyroflow lets you create a custom lens profile for each of your manual lenses. It's overall much better than Catalyst and you don't have to pay for additional "pro" features.

No it doesn’t work on any a6xxx camera. They didn’t introduce it into any camera till the year after

[@DerrickMoy]

is it just me or can you not install Catalyst Browse on an M1 laptop?

[@LeeZavitz]

I’ve used it on m1 systems for a long time. I was showing it on the m1 ultra I’ve used it on m1 Mac mini and my m1 MacBook Pro

[@napatsaeng]

Hope make plugin soon

[@LeeZavitz]

I know. It would be so good

[@chinitopinoy1726]

@@LeeZavitz will the plugin be for Final Cut Pro?

[@TheMikeyzee]

Dose Sony cameras use satellite for stabilisation when i am Underground I get no stabilization icon on Catalyst Browse 2022

[@LeeZavitz]

No it uses gyro data from the sensor. You might have been shooting in an unsupported frame rate or s&q

[@SeanDaPaulSeh]

DOES THIS WORK WITH A7SII I need the answer ASAP

[@LeeZavitz]

It will not work

[@conanhutchison]

I've been trying to use Catalyst Browse on mac and it will stabilize one clip, and then crash whenever I go to stabilize another clip... so frustrating

[@LeeZavitz]

Weird. I’ve never had that issue. Have you tried deleting the app and re installing it incase there is some weird glitch?

[@conanhutchison]

@@LeeZavitz I sure have, several times. I'm not sure what the problem is! It happens every time!

[@jackpast]

Is CB a paid program?

[@onthegomedia6296]

Does CB export the trimmed clip that has been stabilized? I can only export the entire clip

[@LeeZavitz]

Yeah if you select in and out points it will only export that selection

[@onthegomedia6296]

great thanks for the direction. you must first activate the drop-down export tab @@LeeZavitz

[@Rajendrakpatelproduction]

dude its asking got activation code

[@LeeZavitz]

For catalyst browse?

[@JACKPRTV]

@@LeeZavitz yep - it says "XAVC HS playback requires online activation". All you need is to enter your model+serial#.

[@mylifestylesg]

Just to double confirm, i can use oss standard mode with sony zv-e10 and still use catalyst browse to stabilize?

[@LeeZavitz]

I haven’t used the zv-e10 since it’s launch so I can’t say for sure. But if you have the camera already give it a test. As far as I know all cameras will behave similarly because it’s just the gyro data and software making stabilization corrections

[@lazdafilms]

This works also with Sony A7III?

[@LeeZavitz]

No. It’s Only in the newest cameras released from 2020 till now

[@pain-gaminghub5169]

Where is iphone 14pro

[@mr.sobuzsaha]

[@LeeZavitz]

I literally explain it in this video. It doesn’t matter anymore with the update. On or off

[@fabriziocaruso4758]
