[@teg24601]

And sometimes that software is written that way, so that a more expensive product can come out, without the restrictions, but with a premium price tag, something Apple has no need to do in this day-and-age.

[@YourMJK]

Well, it's not exactly true. With ProRes 422 it's still chroma subsampled to 4:2:2. To take full advantage of the sensor you'd need 4:4:4. But the phone probably isn't fast enough to write such huge amounts of data, so it's also kinda true.

[@WorstDeveloper]

@@teg24601 But that's exactly what Apple IS doing. They're known for restricting their devices to create artificial product segmentation. The 128GB versions of the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max don't offer all the video features that were demoed at the unveiling. If you buy the 128GB version then ProRes video is limited to 1080p at 30fps. In order to get the full 4K at 30fps you will need to cough up an extra $100 and buy the 256GB versions.

This was such a creative episode. While I missed Andy's camera work, I loved it. I'm used to camera video losing depth of field, but this video certainly didn't lose much, if any. Given how much happier Premier was, according to Hoffman, working with ProRes video, would it not behoove LMG to look into moving to cameras that used similar technologies. If it makes the editing process, at the expense of file sizes and storage requirements, that seems like a pretty good trade off? Unless they already are, but some interstitial issue is causing Premier issues.

[@Lauren_C]

From what I’d heard from a Wan Show, they’re moving to Sony FX6s, if they hadn’t already. It doesn’t natively support ProRes, however, the FX6 can output a raw feed to an external recorder which can then encode to ProRes.

The bleh motion blur (frame rate?) and distorted corners on any shot showing a full room make it obvious from shot one. The close-ups looked surprisingly good though.

[@Lauren_C]

This is one of the weaknesses of a phone camera. To achieve pleasing motion blur often depends on an exposure time of 1/2 the actual frame time. (So 1/60 for 30 fps, for example). However, a phone by itself has few options to control exposure. It does not have an aperture to close down (which is already a very fast F1.5), and most people shooting on iPhones do not use ND filters. This leaves shutter speed as the only remaining control available. And with an F1.5 aperture, shutter speeds in excess of 1/5000 in daylight isn’t uncommon.

[@atthelord]

It doesn't look bad. It's just not deceptively put together.
