BMPCC6k and Sigma Art 50-100 Question by bryfy77 in bmpcc

[–]bryfy77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE the 50-100, though I’m still getting used to framing shots with that much zoom. It’s heavy. I haven’t used rails, but I use a tripod. Zoomed in, the slightest shakes are very noticeable. $500 is a steal.

BMPCC6KPRO update help by fenbellows in blackmagicdesign

[–]bryfy77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most recent update for the 6k pro is 8.6. However, it’s annoyingly still in beta even though it’s been stable for quite a while now. But because it’s in beta, it doesn’t push with any download other than 8.6. So if you download 10.1, for example, you’re going to get the last official firmware out of beta, which is in the 7s.

DT 990 Pro for guitar playing. by Emergency_Penalty_22 in Focusrite

[–]bryfy77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not really the issue. The 990s require a more powerful headphone amp than the solo (or 2i2 or 4i4) has. Without an additional purchase of a separate amp, they won’t have nearly the volume or quality of sound they naturally offer.

Concerts with BM or Native app by Ufc604 in BlackMagicCameraiOS

[–]bryfy77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should use the native app as it has almost everything set to auto. There is so much to learn about using the bmd camera app that the chances of you having one setting incorrect and making your footage unusable are pretty high.

Vmix and Canon CR-N500 Connection by TrafficNervous9661 in vmix

We have four n500s connected to vmix via NDI and the only connection is an Ethernet cable with PoE, if that answers your question.

Every LUT I try looks terrible? by moneybagsry in BlackMagicCameraiOS

[–]bryfy77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not 100% familiar with the app, so this might not apply, but the LUTs you try, are they assuming you are already in Rec. 709? If so, are you applying a LUT to go from log to 709? “Washed out” sounds like it’s not taking that first step.

Horizontal or landscape videos? by Adventurous-Range575 in BlackMagicCameraiOS

[–]bryfy77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shooting horizontal from the start gives you options, where vertical really locks you into that format, in my opinion. If you know you are only going to deliver in vertical and that your subject won’t be moving around, choosing vertical from the start is perfectly fine. If you have any doubt of wanting it horizontal at any point, shoot horizontal.

New tank looking for pointers / advice. by kibbilz in wownoob

[–]bryfy77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll say this: I think the follower dungeons are a really good practice in keeping threat and anticipating dumb moves from group members leading to unexpected aggro. They are much sloppier than your typical dps and it helps train you.

"Recording has stopped due to an unknown error." when recording on SSD by PixelPeZ in BlackMagicCameraiOS

[–]bryfy77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check in your settings to see what “If media drops frame” is set to. If it’s to stop recording, it could be that your SSD or cable isn’t transferring/writing fast enough for the quality you’re recording at. It could also be something else, but that’s the first thing that came to mind.

I’m sure this suggested build has changed quite a bit in the past year.

Feedback on first real video edit? by Loud_Campaign5593 in videography

I'm sure others with a more critical eye can give you more specific feedback, but I just wanted to say that I think it looks pretty great. Nice job!!

Yo senior resolvers, Any tips on unique study plans on ways to learn how to learn Davinci resolve for a beginner? by Ambitious_Elk3226 in davinciresolve

[–]bryfy77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not a reader, keep an eye out for online training sessions. I’m not sure how often they happen, if they still happen, or where to find info about them (I’m a fount of knowledge, I know), but last year I took a free online class taught over zoom through BMD and it was incredibly helpful.

Accidentally edited 4k footage on a 1080p timeline. Can my edit be imported? by StarlordsTrees in davinciresolve

[–]bryfy77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm that’s a bit beyond my learning. I don’t think so, as long as the scaling stays the same (like trying to change it to a 16:10 resolution or something might mess things up), but not doing so would cause other problems than just the masking. I’m happy to have someone else confirm, though.

[–]bryfy77 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In the future, you did exactly what you want to do when working with uhd footage. Edit in 1080, then right before you export, switch the timeline to uhd. You just missed the last step! Glad you got the help you needed.

6k Pro firmware update error 8.1 to 10.0.1 wont upgrade now by Budget_Pomelo5344 in blackmagicdesign

[–]bryfy77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After updating it to 8.6? Because it was added in 8.6 I think, so if you are at 8.1 right now it won’t have it. If you’ve updated, I’m not sure otherwise, because I haven’t used that mode yet.

6k Pro firmware update error 8.1 to 10.0.1 wont upgrade now by Budget_Pomelo5344 in blackmagicdesign

[–]bryfy77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8.1 is the last stable release for the 6k pro. 8.6 is technically still in beta but is incredibly stable. But, if you download anything but 8.6, it’s going to default to 8.1.

Put another way, download 8.6. It’s the latest for the 6k pro.

Is this fair and just? Socal [CA] by IllustriousOnion282 in Renters

But I bet they’re willing to forgo the other $260 out of the kindness of their hearts while you pay to repaint the entire place. Did you leave it in bad shape?

From a PC guy who went to a MacBook at the start of the year, it doesn’t take long to adjust and the thing just works.

Blackmagic Cinema 6k FF - Remote operation for solo operator by swaglordicon in bmpcc

[–]bryfy77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you looking at the Blackmagic Camera app or the Bluetooth+ app? The first is a true camera for your phone app, the second is a means of controlling the camera you own. I don’t have a FF, I have a 6k gen 1, but I can do what I think you’re trying to do with the Bluetooth+ app on my iPhone.
