Blackmagic Raw Vs Apple ProRes RAW - Which is better? 

Morality?

What was wrong with the older S series cameras? Just bought an S5 mark I and am wondering how the raw output is different from the mark ii

I could be wrong here, as I have never captured Braw out of S5i but I think it had fewer RAW options when in your editing software.

@@OBP_ The S5II captures way more detail and texture. It actually outputs each R G B channel separately which results in much superior BRAW footage but also allows for highlight recovery.

Why do u say it captures more detail? I've seen lots of people talking about how the mark ii makes up for a loss of detail by over sharpening (using in camera codecs of course) and so in theory the mark I should be sending out a raw signal with more detail? Also, if you capture prores raw on the mark one, you can convert to cdng and retain highlight recovery option in davinci, or so I've seen others do.

@@nicolasgobbi5620 the in-camera processing is a huge downgrade over the original S series. The BRAW output on the other hand is big upgrade. So big that I sold my S1H. It's a much better image in every single way, both in terms of detail and texture captures, but also has less visible sharpening (halos) in BRAW and has Highlight Recovery on top and now has accurate white balance adjustments, too. With ProRes RAW the image between the S5II(x) and older S series cameras is pretty much the same. So in conclusion: If you record internally and don't need autofocus: Stay with older S Series cameras If you record external BRAW and don't need timecode or OLPF (S1H): Get the S5IIx If you record external BRAW and like to use autofocus: Get the S5IIx If you record external ProRes RAW and don't need autofocus: Stay with older S Series cameras If you record external ProRes RAW but would like to use autofocus: Get the S5IIx

Amazing, thanks so much. I have the cage video written down. Hopefully am going to start work on it ASAP.

Thank you 🙏

Yeah, none of the monitors are bad at all. The Ninja V is my favourite Atomos monitor I have ever used.

🙏

It's a Smallrig magic arm, screwed into the tripod head where the handle goes 🙌

Waiting for that "your item is dispatched" email. I have so many videos I need to make with it 😅

@@OBP_I am in this same position 🤣

Thanks man 🙌

You can only do this on a Blackmagic cameras, you must use a blackmagic recorder to capture BRAW.

​@@OBP_ got you thank uou for clearing that up. & does prores have to record to a ninja monitor or can it record to any monitor on the as long as you have an Ssd drive? Sorry I'm still new to codecs & how they work😅

BRAW out of Sony cameras would be so amazing. 🤞🤞🤞

😅 Thank you very much

Lol no problem. Thanks for this! I wish Davinci had prores raw. That or hopefully Sony can do braw soon. 🤷‍♂️

The information on apple's website says ProResRaw is compressed, This is why, when you capture it, you have 2 different options, HQ and none HQ. And also it's much smaller than lossless RAW meaning data is compressed.

@@OBP_ All lossless RAW formats are compressed, decoding them is a simple matter of arithmetic: You have the advantage of RAW (every bit of noise and colour is preserved, plus metadata) without the inconvenience of file size. If your RAW file is noisy, this is a good thing. Process means: add sharpening /Debayer /denoise ProresRAW The image is not processed in the camera like BRAW. PrR work like this. -In camera: Sensor data /Compress / -Out of camera (in your application): Decode /Debayer/. RAW Lossless Black Magic RAW works like this -In camera: Sensor Data /Partial Debayer /Compress -Out of camera (in your application): Decode / Second Partial Debayer / Process (BRAW isn't real RAW because of the partial debayer in the camera, that why you see noise artifacts. if they remove that they will clash with RED patent) RED RAW works like this: -In-camera: Sensor data /Compress /File / -Out of camera (in your application or Red Plugin): File /Decode /Debayer /

@@MrlegendOrwhat about n-raw from Nikon

@@stephanes. N RAW uses Tico RAW tech, they work like REDRAW and APRRAW. All of these are Real RAW.
