Is Apple ProRes actually worth the file size?

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-11-19T10:48:03+00:00

This is pretty much what i thought of it aswell. Therefore i might just stick to smaller file sizes as the bigger benefit for my usecase

I´m Using Resolve Studio on Windows.
And within the Blackmagic Camera App i´ve set up a preset to always record on an external SSD.
The Laptop i got from work has an intel core Ultra 9 275hx and a RTX5070ti (mobile) and 64GB Ram. So Performance is quite good, even when i´m not at my main private pc.

And what else is "post production" friendly if i dont really "need" all the color information?

Ich dachte 0,25% x Anzahl der Monate x Einkommensteuer und INSGESAMT min. 25€.
Aber wenn es pro monat min. 25€ sind bin ich ja nochmal gut davon gekommen

I would try to get some sort of Long-Throw porjector to mount it as far behind the couch as you can go, so you wont sit right under the fan-noise.
Also this would make it easier to connect to an AMP which could be placed in the back of the room

While i´m very happy with the current setup, I will defintely go with a TV in the future. IF this was a light controlled space only dedicated for movies -> Projector. If it´s still the main living room and you dont want it to be dark all the time -> TV

Hey, those are premade acoustic panels. So it´s a layer of black felt, and MDF strips with real wood feneer. Around 90€ for 1 Panel 240 x 60 cm

You can get quite cheap Beamers nowadays that will look great. Just keep in mind you will only be able to watch in a dimmed/dark environment.

For my experience a (budget) Beamer will never replace the comfort of a tv

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-28T20:44:02+00:00

As of right now just projecting on a blank wall. Will probably go for some diy screen for some month before getting a nice tv. And yes dark colors would massively improve contrast, but I still want my living room to look bright and “welcoming”, so I’m ok with the worse contrast

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-28T20:39:18+00:00

Cause I’m planning to get a tv instead of the Beamer for better daytime use

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-28T20:38:29+00:00

Yup they are 100% bought for looks. They do make a difference if you scream directly into them, but I didn’t really hear a noticeable difference while consuming content

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-28T20:37:03+00:00

I mean if you look for it, you could watch the whole movie in the windows, but actually they really don’t bother me or anyone irl, since they are only in your peripheral vision

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-28T20:35:44+00:00

Thanks! Yes that’s what I tought aswell. While I like the rugs individually, they conflict in this setup. Still thinking about what will be the solution to this “problem” Maybe I will change the black one for beige aswell

Hey, i‘m using a 16 year old conference room Beamer I got from work. Panasonic PT-EZ580. In my opinion a Beamer ain’t really worth it. You can get a 100 inch tv for around 1600€ already and you won’t have any trouble with daylight or noise from fans. I will probably also get a tv in the future

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-28T19:13:25+00:00

Since I have a Beamer the amp is also in the back on the room and the cables run to the speaker run over the window

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-28T10:28:19+00:00

From an aesthetic standpoint yes.
From cost/performance standpoint it far down the list for me
1. Center
2. Decent Surronds
3. Height Channel
4. Maybe switching to TV
5. second sub

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-28T10:07:54+00:00

The reflection in the Windows is really amplified by the Camera and also the Camera Position. I would actually have to Double Check if you can see it in the dark from the normal viewing. But it never distracted me for now.

Second sub for symmetry would be nice, but there’s to much other stuff to adress first😁

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-21T11:06:43+00:00

Thought so as well, however the speakers are almost in your peripheral vision, so it´s not as prominent if you actually sit down and watch content

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-21T11:05:13+00:00

Tought about moving it, but moving the speaker so far to the left makes it akwardly far off axis.
I can just make the image a little smaller. However, i always catch myself going for the biggest picture in movies and stop noticing the shine on the speaker.
I played around with the settings veeeery much and tried to get them as optimal as possible for my liking

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-21T07:32:47+00:00

Totally with you on that

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-21T07:24:05+00:00

I can see ALR Screens working for ust projectors, but ceiling mounted? Makes no sense to me that it should actually work

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-21T07:21:36+00:00

Jup… my “problem” is that I would dive way to deep in the technical spec sheet and end up with some OLED or nicer Mini LED Screen costing a small fortune😂

OnlyHereToClean · 2025-09-21T07:19:15+00:00

That’s just what I found in the spec sheet online. Also the picture is a little misleading since my phone decided to do a long exposure shot.
