I’m sure some of you know I am a fan of Blackmagic. So without further ado, here are my thoughts on each…īLACKMAGIC POCKET CINEMA CAMERA 4K – $1295 There are constantly new cameras being announced and released, but I wanted to highlight these 3 specific cameras together, as they share some commonalities – They’re priced in the same ballpark, are in direct competition to each other in some respects, and are all getting a lot of attention from filmmakers. I’ll aim to do follow up articles on each camera in more depth in the future, so if that’s something you would like to see, please let me know! I have however, done some tests with Blackmagic’s new RAW codec, and will be sharing the results here on the blog this week.īut with regards to the new releases from BMD, Canon, and Fuji, what I’m going to outline below are simply my first impressions. I have been working like crazy over the past month on my feature film projects and a slew of commercials, and haven’t yet done any test shooting with these cameras.

All three cameras are clearly of interest to many filmmakers right now, so I wanted to share my two cents on them below. This camera comes with the Studio version of Resolve, which is the more fully featured version, and it includes everything from assembly to sound mixing and motion graphics.Several new mirrorless cameras were released or announced in recent weeks, including Blackmagic’s new Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, Canon’s EOS R, and Fuji’s XT3. I spoke with some other producers, and they all confirmed that Premiere CC has been having tons of issues lately, and it made me wish I already knew how to use DaVinci Resolve. While coloring footage Premiere would crash roughly every five minutes. The only thing that kept falling on its face was Adobe Premiere CC. That hard drive gave me no bottlenecks at all, which was a relief. For my edit, I used my late-2018 HP Spectre x360 15-inch laptop and a Samsung Portable SSD X5, which utilizes Thunderbolt 3 and the very fast NVMe interface.

You’re also going to want to use the fastest SSD you can get your hands on. When it comes to editing 6K footage, you’re going to want a computer with some serious graphics processing power, especially since you’re going to be editing color and applying filters, which take even more horsepower.
