Thank you for watching) I used Sony CF-Express Type-A 80GB and Kingston CANVAS 256gb V90 300MB/s SDXC UHS-II - Great Card and you can record up to 120p 4K in XAVC-S Codec
Hey there, good video. Im using the A7C and Tamron 17-28 f2.8 and im currently figuring out how to use it for my vlogs. Without Catalyst browse I found the footage to be very very shaky. Im filming in 50 frames. Would you suggest to keep the shutter speed at 1/200 or even higher for normal daily travel vlogging?
Hey! Thanx! It can record gyro data in all modes accept for 4K 100p-120p if I'm not mistaken, and remember that you have to set IBIS to OFF and crank up the shutter speed for it to work correctly (and also it does not work with 100% manual lenses with no exif data coming to the camera
thank you for this practical comparison, made with a simple and dynamic style. I find that, regardless of Catalyst usage, the videos shot with short exposure times (speed shorter than 1/125) tend to be more smooth. Videos shot for instance at 25fps with 1/50 exposure time with a gimbal (or with a tripod and panning with a fluid head) tend to stutter, they give the feeling of a succession of discontinuous images rather than a flowing video movement. This is particularly obvious with panning movements where the background is in focus. I see that in your previous videos you use 60fps at 1/125 shutter, and that seems to eliminate or attenuate this stuttering effect. This is important to me, as I was very much interested in the a7sIII to work with gimbals or doing camera movement, and I am always taken aback when I see all this "stuttering". Is it something that you have noticed in your practice, that higher shutter speeds give smoother results?
Thanx for such an in-depth comment! In terms of stabilising the footage the rule with shorter shutter speeds always works the same - the shorter the shutter speed, the better results you'll get in stabilising in post. If we talk about 1/50 in 25p - you need to remember that there is a rule about how fast you can pan depending on a focal range to prevent strobing effect. Here is a nice calculator from RED which will definitely help solve this issue)) www.red.com/panning-speed
what I found that 4.2.2 10 bit are not allowed in the free version ..not sure if that might be a reason for not getting a exported stabilized file ..let me try once with lower bit ..cuz i was using the cfexpress card so i was using that bit code ..anyways not sure if that is reason else it will be a setback for me as i cannot carry RCS2 every where specially when I am doing travelling vlogs .Any insight will be appreciated ..
Very useful. I'm so glad you mentioned use-cases beyond walking in a straight line in slow-mo. ;-) My main use-case is shooting hockey games on ice (while skating) with a gimbal (ronin S), and I publish them in 1080p 60p. The gimbal does pretty well at stabilization, but there are still jitters which bug me. So, I'm guessing my best results would be: > XAVC S-I 4K (so I don't lose resolution with the eventual crop in CB) > Shutter to 1/400th > Process in Catalyst Browse with just enough crop to remove the micro-jitters > Output to 1920x1080 then edit in Resolve. Does that seem right?
Thanx! Yeah, you are absolutely right! You can even use XAVS codec, I didn't see a difference in picture quality at all, but it's a little tougher to edit, but saves a lot of space))
Which version of browse are you using? There was an update in the last couple of days and it allows me to stabilise even when active or standard stabilisation is selected on my a7s3.
Quite a bummer. It seems like you need to know you will be using the browser during shooting as you need to turn off the IBIS/OIS and use a higher than normal shutter speed. Most of the time we use stabilizer software during post when we discover the footage is not steady but it will be too late in this case.
This really useful - I know and usually plan a movements shot - as my clips are no longer than a couple of seconds this is a great feature. I really can't be botherd lugging a gimbal around for 2 or 3 clips. I really don't think anyone would notice the difference in a 1 minute social media video.
Thank you for sharing!. What memory card have you used in S3?

Hey) yes, for proper work of catalyst you’ll need at least 1/250 shutter speed, or better 1/400
Really great explanation. Thank you sir!
I'm glad you are enjoying the content!
This has been my go to video for understanding Catalyst Browse, thank you. What CPU and GPU did you use to render the footage?
Hey) thank you) top of the line iMac 27 late 2015 (4GB GPU + i7)
@@NOlimitsON thanks for the info!
Hello, very good video!
One Question: In which formats can catalist Browse be used, only in4k 24p?
Hey! Thanx! It can record gyro data in all modes accept for 4K 100p-120p if I'm not mistaken, and remember that you have to set IBIS to OFF and crank up the shutter speed for it to work correctly (and also it does not work with 100% manual lenses with no exif data coming to the camera
@@NOlimitsON thank U!!
Out of curiosity, what settings do you use for focusing? Your footage seems to always be spot on with focus!
Thank you)) I change settings from time to time, but foe most of shooting scenarios I use speed 5 and sensitivity 5
Ooh thank you so much bro where you live always be happy bundle of thanks ❤️
Thank you))) I appreciate it!
It's really helphul, thank you!
Welcome mate) stay tuned)

it doesnt work with manual lens aperently?
Yes, you’re right.
I pre ordered the fx6 and i am curious who catalyst will work with it 😉 best cinematic greetings from germany
Thank you, man! Congrats with great purchase! Stay tuned for more content! I appreciate it!
Is third party something like sigma lens will work? I cant find information on this
It will if it has electronic connection with the camera (EXIF data)
I can’t do 4k 120fps and use Gyro stbalziation right? Only 4k 60 FPS is possible?
Yes, you’re correct. 4K 60p has gyro data

Is there anyway to batch stabilize and render on Catalyst Browse?
Not now, unfortunately...
@@NOlimitsON thanks man ☺️
Which version of browse are you using? There was an update in the last couple of days and it allows me to stabilise even when active or standard stabilisation is selected on my a7s3.
can you confirm this is the case? would be a game changer!
I used version 2020.1.0.594
When increasing your shutter speed do you also have to increase your frame rate?
Hey, no) You don't)
@@NOlimitsON Thanks!

Yes, you are right, my friend. It's definitely not perfect...
