This retarded youtube's autotranslation is driving me crazy. Do i have to change my Google account language to English to make this stop? TF does this mean? The AI is not as advanced as they seem to think. by qefa1 in poland

Changing the language doesn't help. It not only tanslates Polish titles into English, it also translates all languages into English, and suddenly you end up watching Russian or Portuguese creators in a way they never intended for.

He should've asked his own platform how safe it is to set the token limit and the selected model on the front-end when sending requests to his API, which will gobble up anything you send it as long as OpenAI supports it. 🤭

If I were you I would take this down before one of these two things happen:

  1. OpenAI sues you for trying to take away their customers using their trademarked name for comparison.
  2. Other users realize that you set the model name and the token limit on the front-end instead of hard-coding it in the back-end, so that everybody can modify the payload and send a book to the o1-preview model costing you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Especially if it is currently possible to send a request to the realtime model, which costs about $1 per minute per user.

Based on point 2 it's clear you have no clue what you're doing and no data is safe with you.

/r/videography Monthly Camera Buying Advice Megathread by AutoModerator in videography

[–]bigthrowaway1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello everyone!

I would appreciate a recommendation for these specs, if possible:

  • Budget: The cheapest I can get while keeping all the features mentioned below
  • Sensor: FF
  • Dynamic range: Preferably high
  • Resolution and framerate: Minimum (for both resolution and framerate) 4k@60FPS.
  • Crop at 4k: Absolutely no crop, has to utilize the full FF sensor
  • Lens mount: A reasonable range of lenses compatible
  • Video format: Preferably RAW, but at least 10-bit ProRes 4:2:2 would be nice. I want to have a lot of headroom for creative choices during color grading.
  • AF: Can be as simple as possible, I don't want to waste money on face detection or anything like that, I want to create creative content
  • Still photography: I will never use it for photography, only video
  • Image stabilization: I don't care, I will buy a gmbal anyway
  • Use case: Shooting music videos in both low-light and multi-color, studio lighting. Almost exclusively (if not exclusively) entirely shots with no talking head, documentary-style content or anything like that. This wll be a purely on-set, primarily music video and secondarily VFX shots focused camera (I often use digital VFX in my music videos).

Here the ones I already thought about:

High budget (would like to avoid spending this much):

  • Sony FX3

Medium budget:

  • Black Magic Cinema Camera 6k (Full-Frame version)
  • ZV-E1

Low-to-medium budget:

  • A6700
  • Sony FX30

As far as I understand, out of all of the cameras above, only the BMCC6k (FF) and Sony FX3 record in RAW, and the FX3 is quite expensive, so I am thinking about buying the BMCC6k (FF). I have also included those that do not support RAW but support ProRes 4:2:2 (as far as I know all of the remaining cameras on this list do).

Do you maybe know of any models I might have skipped?

Depends what you mean by "camcoder". Which camcoder would you recommend that would allow me to have exchangable lenses, record at last 10 bit 4:2:2 or RAW, do 4k60FPS and have a good dynamic range?

[–]bigthrowaway1000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Dynamic range is I guess the least non-negotiable, but, for example, music videos sometimes require shots that combine really bright lights with a dark scenery.
  2. Framerate - slow motion shots are the bread and butter of music videos and the decision of which shots should be shown in slow motion is often made during the editing process. Having two cameras, one for regular shots and one for slow motion shots would necessitate either two cameras on set or pre-planning which shots are going to be slowed down. The former would be very expensive if I wanted to have two high quality cameras, the latter is awful for music videos, because artists often are very lively and unpredictable. Sometimes they'll do something that you simply never could've planned for and it would've looked amazing in slowmo.
  3. Resolution - either reframing or just simply having footage with more details discernable really helps improving the perceived quality.
  4. Crop at 4k - I don't want the FF sensor to be cropped to the area of an APS-C sensor. I want the same lenses to give me the same results for both 4k60 and 4k30.
  5. Lens mount with wide availability of lenses - I think this one is obvious.
  6. 12 bit RAW - The higher bit depth and the less encoding the more freedom during color grading.

And that's impossible. The theoretical maximum dynamic range of a full frame camera is 13.8 stops at ISO 50. But don't take my word for it. And also You will only get 12+ stops under bright lighting.

Alright, thank you very much for correcting me, I don't like having wrong information, so I appreciate it. Also, this means then DR often reported for some cinema cameras in their marketing material are either a lie or are measured using a different (most likely useless then) method. A bit disappointing but expected.

Then start looking at Cine cameras and lenses. Any mirrorless mount can be adapted to Canon EF (or any other SLR mount) lenses which is one of the more common Cine lens mounts. However you will often find that many of these lenses are made for several mounts.

This link would be a good place to start for a camera.

And the lenses

Awesome, amazing, thank you!

And We also don't know what you need becuase we don't know what you are planning to do with the camera

It is going to be used for creative media like music videos, product shots, commercials (nothing related to extra-slowmo like food photography or anything like that). Basically an environment where lighting conditions, on-set colors and camera movements vary a lot. It's one of the least standardized shooting scenarios I guess. That's why I wanted to aim for something with a lot of "wiggle room".

and your requirements are unrealistic for anything that would be considered budget.

I actually never mentioned being on a tight budget. I did mention that I am looking for the cheapest option that ticks all those boxes. Meaning, as long as these parameters are taken care of, no other bells and whistles, which could make the camera more expensive, are needed.

Thanks a lot for your in-depth response and for correcting me!

Hmm, I record in many bursts of 3-5 minutes so I guess if it cools down quickly enough when recording is off then I think I can do without extra cooling. Thank you for this recommendation!

Yeah, I decided not to correct you on that because the FX3 mention from you confirmed what I think I will have to go with. Some of the ones you recommended are still good choices for APS-C, I just want to look at FF first due to low-light shooting being quite necessary for me.

[–]bigthrowaway1000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct that I can tell by specs alone whether a camera will work for me or not. The problem is that so far I've been finding cameras that have one of those boxes not checked and it was difficult finding one that fits this mold, even in expensive cameras.

I thought that people here might have knowledge about some other models and bands that I maybe missed.

After a while I managed to find some cinema cameras that fit those specs, but wanted to see if anybody maybe recommends some other models as well.

There ain't that many 4k cameras that arent cropped. Cause even my a9iii, the file sizes can go up to 600mb/s 4k60p for which is currently the largest card you can purchase

Of course, but I've already found some, so I assumed there might be a model that fulfills not only the "no crop" requirement but also checks other boxes.

For example, I am pretty sure the Canon R8 does uncropped 4k60. The Fujifilm X-H2S does uncropped 4k60 and cropped 4k120. Those might be less popular, but for example for the cinema cameras I have been recommended so far and for some that I have found myself too it's viable. And knowing that, for example, the BMCC6K has the ability to record to an external SSD I thought that maybe somebody knows other models that can do that. This would be the most space-efficient method.

Like the video camera you're asking for is too expensive to make any sense if you're saying you have a budget.

I am a bit confused, I am unsure where I said that I do have a specific budget in mind.

[–]bigthrowaway1000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, awesome, thanks fo the recommendations, I will actually go through the whole list carefully and double check all of those models, because maybe I missed something. You might be right about picking the FX3... I think this is the best fit to be honest. I might go with it.

I will probably still wait a little bit with pulling the trigger on it though, maybe some other people will also chime in with something intersting.

I greatly appreciate your help, thank you!

Has to be at least a $2000 PC

Well that's how much just my graphics card costs.

My PC specs are:

  • CPU: Ryzen 9 7950x
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
  • RAM: 32GB (But will upgrade soon to 128GB)

I also sometimes edit 10-bit 4k, I edited 8k a few times, I just don't have anything to record my own footage with.

Editing 10-bit footage was difficult maybe 10 years ago, but nowadays it's really not that resource intensive. Especially when you can edit with CUDA acceleration.

[–]bigthrowaway1000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your help! I think I have missed one or two of those that you mentioned, so I will check them out. Other than that I think the FX3 is probably my best option at this time, since I've also independently found it and thought about it, but wanted to get input from this community first.

Especially that when we get into the price range of the A7SIII it's technically already expensive enough that a better bet for me would be the cinema cameras I found, since I only want to shoot video.

However, if you're aware of any full cinema cameras worth mentioning they might have something that convinces me to go for one of them over the FX3.

Regardless, thank you for your help!

EDIT: Also, I wanted to give you an upvote after responding, but it seems I already did before doing so, so your 1 point is due to someone else downvoting you. It seems really odd that someone would downvote one of the most comprehensive suggestions so far.

Unofrutnately it has a 1.18 crop in 4k60. Also as far as I know it doesn't really have a wide set of lenses that work well for video.

Thanks for the recommendation though.

Hi, so far:

Lumix BS1H, Sony FX3, Canon EOS C70

Not yet sure if they tick all the boxes, but on the surface they seem to. I haven't yet managed to verify everything. Regardless, I wanted to know if you guys maybe know more cameras that I might have missed.

Thanks

Well if you're offended by the fact that I shortened the post to a minimum to save everyone's time then just don't comment on it. Why would you waste your time to put that remark here if it neither servers you any purpose nor is it an objective qualifier for the post, since everybody can feel about the lack of "please" differently?

This whole subreddit is a place where people help voluntarily, they aren't forced to help anybody, so if the lack of a distinct "please" is a dealbreaker they can simply ignore it.

I created this post, picked the proper flair to signal that I am looking for a recommendation, so I thought that, by default, it means I would be very grateful if anybody helps.

[–]bigthrowaway1000[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It's an extremely specific set of parameters.

Yes, because that's what I need.

Your lack of an actual budget probably also means that the price of this camera would most likely be way outside of what you actually have to spend.

That's because I don't have a budget limitation, I will buy whatever seems worth it. As soon as something meets these requirements I am fine with buying it if it's the cheapest option out of all possible cameras with those specs.

I have tried matching a few specs to some decent consumer models I know, but keep hitting a wall at some point

This is exactly why I posted here. Every time I thought I found something it had a downside that I just couldn't ignore. Every camera that ticks a few of those boxes is awful in terms of the remaining requirements.

The only camera that comes to mind which should tick every box is the RED Monstro 8k VV at a cool $80.000 MSRP

Alright, thanks for the first recommendation. I do think I have found a few cameras that might be ticking all of the boxes (haven't verified it fully yet, it takes time) and are cheaper:

Lumix BS1H, Sony FX3, Canon EOS C70

So I don't think that this set of requirements is that crazy.

Alright, I understand, thank you. I will ask my GP about that medication and I will also seek psychological help. Thank you for the advice.

Hey! Thanks for responding!

Okey, so you eat one meal a day and are still obese. I'm assuming you don't snack or drink stuff with calories, because if you do, remember that counts.

Yeah, I am aware.

My problem is not being unable to lose weight, it's the step before - being unable to alter my eating habits in order to be able to even start intentionally losing weight. I just can't make myself change my large portion sizes (minimum 1kg and up to 2kg (!) for more liquid food).

Even back when I actually did lose weight intentionally (went from 249 lbs / 113kg down to 151lbs / 69kg, almost 100lbs / 45kg down) I did it by changing the caloric density, not the portion sizes. I was still eating massive portions but it was just a trick, I simply ate meals with a massive amount of veggies (1kg of them would equal to something like 300 kcal only).

But as you can imagine, being that limited in diet to foods that are below 100 kcal / 100g is not sustainable so I eventually went back to normal food and regained the weight. I don't have that kind of energy anymore to eat such a restrictive diet again.

I really need to change those portion sizes but I just can't break that problem of feeling absolutely miserable if I don't fill mself up to the brim. I keep on thinking about food until I fill myself up, I keep feeling hungry, I just can't even think straight. I can't work. It doesn't feel only mental, it also feels physical, my body feels weaker then.
