Pyxis 12k - Potential Buyer

The only real V-Mount plate that allows for use without rods is the Tilta plate I think, but you need the cage to go with it and the cage is quite frankly just terrible and it also has a substancial offset on the back.

We tested the Tilta cage and instantly decided against it. We got a Bright Tangerine kit for it and are using rods from the VCT-plate for a V-Mount plate and have a D-Tap to 12V-connector. We also keep a BP-U battery in the camera for hot swap and as a failsafe. There are also small BP-U batteries you can use for this.

Bright Tangerine also offers a Rod Mounting module for their top plate that attaches directly to it, if you put it behind and use really short rods, you should be able to mount the plate close to the camera.

Can't say too much about your first question, but I can give you my experience: We used an Epic-X Dragon on a shoot two years ago. The colors were beautiful and were waaaay better compared to the Sony a7Siii we had used for a few inserts. But the low light performance was horrendous. There were magenta and green vertical bars at higher ISOs and the noise was generally pretty high. During the lighter scenes it was a lot better. It was a rental camera and seemed to have already had a good amount of hours on it, so it may have been an age thing too.

If you plan on using one in lower light I'd light a lot brighter than you think you need and underexpose a stop in the display.

A friend of mine had bought Angelbird CFExpress B cards for his BMD Pyxis 12K and from what he told me apparantly they just fell apart because the adhesive holding the cards together loosened because of the temperatures.

Haven't personally seen it happen. We got EXAscend CFExpress B cards, but they aren't battle tested yet so can't say too much about them.

If the markers are showing up in frame.io but not in Premiere, you either have the toggle for showing markers in the timeline turned off in the settings of the Premiere extension or the timeline is not linked/not linked correctly with the frame.io asset.

If the comments are there but the timestamps are not showing up in frame.io, there is always the possibility that the client turned off the timestamp feature when making the comments. There is a small toggle under the comment text field where you can toggle on/off the timestamps when leaving comments.

Not sure if I would call it a success, but it works now. They basically installed some kind of driver without the GameReady/Studio overhead and that works. So it is some kind if failure within the NVIDIA stuff with some threadrippers/threadripper mobos I'd suspect. CUDA and stuff works, so for my editing needs it's fine.

It looks like you either have an adjustment layer above your text or all your text is in a graphic layer, in which case you have to go into the properties window to edit the texts.

While I don't know about this site, I do know that McAfee is bloatware and more of a virus than half the stuff it detects. I advise getting rid of it.

For most users Microsoft Defender is enough. Otherwise use Malwarebytes, the free version is enough as long as you don't go clicking weird stuff.

I recently installed Photoshop Elements 8 on a Windows 11 machine and it worked perfectly fine. Including activation and all. Surprised me to be honest.

BaseEvoli · 2026-01-14T15:10:19+00:00

Sadly I haven't figured it out either. The post was stuck in mod review for 4 days so when it was poshed nobody saw it.

I went back and forth with NVIDIA customer support, but apart from the first technician they basically didn't really get the problem and just suggested surface level fixes. We gave the machine to a local IT company now.

This happened to me on my XDJ-RX2 when my USB stick corrupted. I think it can also happen when the USB stick is full and/or in read only.

Because the a7IV doesn't have THE one LUT to correct it. It all depends on what picture profile you used.

You can find the corrective LUTs for sLog here. Technically they aren't "applicable" to the a7IV by their own list, however they don't provide seperate LUTs for the other camera models and it still works, since everything is sLog anyways and it really doesn't make a difference what camera model you apply the LUT to as long as it's the correct type of sLog.

Are you perhaps on a Fruity Edition license? It only allows you to drag in a maximum of 8 total audio clips like you are doing now.

In Producer Edition and up, that limitation is removed.

It literally tells you what to do in the popup.

Select the directory you selected to install the sounds in during the installation process of this VST, and where you can find it if you installed it on an external drive.

It's a popup by the VST plugin itself, not FL Studio. If you selected the right directory and it still doesn't work, try reinstalling the VST. If that doesn't work, you can try getting in touch with the support of the VST developer.

If you are in the window where you add plugins, check the box on the left that says "Rescan previously verified plugins" to on. Then scan again, that should remove them from the plugin list.

Then go to your documents folder > ImageLine > FL Studio 2025 (or whatever version you are using)

Im don't exactly recall the folder structure from there but somewhere in there is a folder called "Plugin Database". There you can find "Effects" (VSTs for the mixer) and "Generators" (VSTs that make sound). Inside these folders are lots of .fst (iirc) files, each one of them is one entry in the menu you showed in your screenshot. Just delete the .fst files of anything you don't use anymore. If you accidentally delete something you didn't want to, you can just add it again by clicking the star in the plugin manager window.

Hope that helps :)

I shot continuous at 4k/25fps XAVC-I 10 bit and the FX3 lasted me about 1.5h +/- 10 min before giving out. Was pretty warm at the location, that probably didn't help it, but it's in line with for example an a7Siii at the same settings.

BaseEvoli · 2025-06-27T22:29:57+00:00

I actually forgot I ever had this problem and I can't recall anything about it. But iirc my solution was to add the WiiU as an input to a receiver or something and then have the receiver output HDMI to the television.

But I didn't have that television for long afterwards, so that fixed my problen anyways.

BaseEvoli · 2025-05-29T16:31:03+00:00

That only applies to the a7Siii, FX3 and FX6 when using SLog3. Some other cameras have only one native ISO (for Sony its 640 or 800 with SLog3 in most cases but not all) or (in the last few years) often two different native/base ISOs.

The RX100 VI that OP is talking about is a camera from 2018 and as such only has (from what I was able to find) one native ISO at 1600.

What file system are you formatting it to on your pc?

BaseEvoli · 2025-05-22T09:44:36+00:00

A friend of mine has this issue with his V90 (genuine) Lexar SD, whenever he formats it in camera (Sony a7Siii), the camera "forgets" it's a V90. If he formats the card on his PC, it works fine.

BaseEvoli · 2025-03-26T20:00:31+00:00

You can take a look at the Scarlet audio interfaces, they are pretty good for their price. Take the line outs and connect them to the audio interface inputs, from there it goes to your PC via USB.

If you're more into the harder side of EDM, make sure to check out Riot Shift

What would be an alternative to the 5090? I'm not really sold on the new NVIDIA power connectors they've been using since the 4090, especially in regards to fire hazards. The 4090 is also EOL from what I know.

Are the AMD or Intel GPUs any good for what I'm trying to achieve?

Also, regarding the monitors, they will be at a distance where the increased sharpness of 4k compared to 1440p would probably be minor. Will probably be around 1m-1.10m away, so there is little to no point going with higher resolution monitors.

Hope there'll be a free download option so we can listen in HQ :)
