If your goal is to edit the footage, try using proxy files in your editor. You may find that after you do the final render, the video will play okay due to the compression used by the video editor. ...

I'm with you on working in Cubase. I work in Digital Performer. I know one can set up automated ducking by using a sidechain input on a compressor, but it sounded like Premiere's workflow for that ...

I noticed in a promo video, there is an automated ducking feature for VO in Premiere 19.

I forgot to mention... it seems tripods come in two basic styles. One style has a center column with a locking ring for the leg braces, enabling you to not spread the legs out all the way. This is ...

Because I'm cheap, I use a Magnus V-350. I got it because it goes up to 82" high, and it has a fluid head.  The head moves a bit when you tighten the knobs to lock down a shot, but as long as ...

They're advertised as 4k 60p, but I don't know if their dual pixel AF works for that rate.

Canon GX10? Cheaper and smaller than the 405, but with most of the same features.

When I'm searching YouTube for tutorial videos, music videos or whatever, I skip over the fancy intros. I think fancy intros are more for the creator than for the audience. In other words, I ...

Camera strap.

Will it keep the wifi connection over long periods of time? Will it accept large SD cards? (GX85 is good up to at least 256 GB.) Any recording time limits?

"How to Shoot Video That Doesn't Suck" would be a good book, not for its tech advise - there is none - but for it's creative advice, so you could put your tech advice to good use.

What sort of scene are you shooting? The scene would determine what type of lens, and whether or not you even need AF. If it's a scene requiring a wide angle lens like a GoPro, you may have enough ...

If you plan on using keyframes to create zooms and pans (4k footage in a 1080p timeline) you might ask about the process in Da Vinci Resolve. In Premiere, there's an "ease in" and "ease out" ...

An FYI for others who might be interested in the topic. Panasonic mirrorless cameras like the GX85 have no time limit on 4k recording, and they don't overheat (unless they're in the direct sun on ...

...assuming the color matches. I had to learn the hard way that the Panasonic HC-X1 camcorder is a complete mismatch with my GX85s and G7. Likewise with the Panasonic FZ2500. The FZ is useable, ...

Keep in mind, if you add a wide angle adapter to your phone, it could make it impossible to use a gimbal. The weight makes the camera front-heavy. If there is no forward-backward adjustment on the ...

Very nice work. I got a couple from JB Camera Designs (I have three GX85s for multi-camera video) and just got another 3D printed grip from the Ukraine for under $30. That would be your ...

Whatever program you choose, make sure it does "keyframes". Keyframes enable you to create slow zooms and pans. You designate where the zoom starts and stops, and you set the parameters. I use ...

Phones fail in at least three areas: ergonomics, optical power zoom and recording time limits. My Samsung 9 phone has a 5 minute limit for 4k 60p, and a 10 minute limit for 4k 30p. I would think ...

4k is the future of video, just like 1080p was the future of video when 720p was the standard. As long as they keep making camcorders, 4k 60p will be a feature consumers would expect. I don't see ...
