For clarity, when I said "processed into HDR", I mean that it converts the way you monitor the image into the HDR monitoring configuration of your choosing. As far as I know there is no way to "bake in" the HDR conversion into the file, even though the manual says "record, preview and review using HDR". You can bake in LUTs, and I also think you can convert the signal coming out of the HDMI output port to be HDR, but it shouldn't affect your log recordings on the SSD--other than the fact that it removes options like "Legalize". Happy shooting! 🤓👍
Appreciate the follow-up. I don't think using the Input->Camera Output->Log/HDR setting is WRONG, it can be pretty useful to monitor in Rec709 (or PQ if that's where you're headed), especially if you don't have a Log to Rec709 LUT (which was the case for the Z6 until not long ago). It doesn't modify the recorded file in any way (as far as I can tell) and at least with the current firmware, it records the same levels as turning Legalize off (as one would expect), ie full/data. That said, I understand the click appeal of the ... firmer... wording 😜
Man your videos are great thanks for the info. can you provide a video soon different ways to load luts or get your footage off your Ninja V ? thanks again
Dude, this is the most comprehensive guide to my brand new ninja V and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you. I found you through camera conspiracies and you two have now become my two favorite channels!
Andrew Stewart I suppose it comes down to your current and future needs.. I bought a Ninja V for the monitoring and perhaps recording with current or future camera. If only for monitoring the Atomos Shinobi is an obvious choice. HDR monitoring in PQ for instance to see all of the image as you will likely grade is a great thing. I record prores on the Atomos Ninja V. I think it’s marginally better to grade log than my internal 150 mbps codec. I might be imagining it, but I think it’s true.. but if I pick up a new Nikon Z6 or other new camera system in 2020/2021 that may have ProResRaw... then my purchase will fully utilized. Currently? I think it’s better though with my computer/codec comparison my laptop handles both formats easily, but I know the external is capable of handling more grading in post.. even from an 8 bit source...... But yes.. for 8 bit source it’s biggest benefit is monitoring in HDR/PQ log etc. and perhaps the grading is better in post?
@@alexshdvideo Interesting; I was looking at the AndyCine A6 Plus which seems like a great value, but the Shinobi isn't that much more and presumably better in some way. As a hobbyist I definitely can't justify $650+ for the Ninja everyone loves. Thanks for the idea!
Just got my new Ninja v last Thursday. I was saving for a lens, when my church asked if I could film the Sunday service on Friday. I have an A7III, so I knew there was a thirty minute time limit, so... I didn’t get the lens that’s not shipping yet and bought the Ninja v instead. Falling in love with this thing. Friday’s recording ran this morning at 10:30 am AZ time. Without a hitch. I was originally nervous because when I tried playing the clip from the hard drive, I got a delay after 5 seconds of play. I set it to record prores lt. so after pulling into a fcpx project and compiling to mp4 it was completely in sync. So that was good. Why In this day and age that Atomos doesn’t have a forum on its site is beyond me. If I could have done a search, it would have put my brain at ease. Thanks for everything by the way. I don’t miss a one...;-)
I consider myself a professional as I have been doing video production work for about 13 years now...but then I watch your videos and I feel like a beginner again! Love your knowledge....I come to your site often for tips and your opinions on a wide range of things. Bravo! I just got the Ninja V for my Z cam e2-m4. Would love for you to do a review of the Z cam e2 series
DUUUUUUDE!! Thank you Thank you! Definitely answered my question perfectly. Again, I've learned so much about my gear from your vids! You're awesome. Stay safe and healthy, we definitely need people like you out here :-)
Part of the problem with reviewing tech is people constantly getting angry in the comments. I'm going to say in the beginning of all my videos, look I'm not Gerald undone. Fantastic channel and video. You are a mench
You are the man! I went to the garage to find where I did throw my ninja v because it was really so bad with log files, you explained it better than the Atomos's CEO on his video, I was getting a 709 file out of the Ninja and I didn't understand why.... Yes because we have been told to toggle that freaki*** HDR/Log button and select camera brand and gamma bla bla bla but at the end no more log flexibility in post at all! Yes because we were getting a 709 signal instead, I can't believe that! Many thanks, greeting from France and you all stay safe by staying home
Just subscribed after watching the interview in B&H. I've viewed many of your posts but subscribed after seeing you in B&H because I liked that you opened up a little and I feel like I know you and understand your approach. My career started at IBM and I am a tech camera nerd too.
Gerald. I want to thank you for these vids and explaining in precise understandable language how to use this equipment. I have to learn how to shoot video for my day job and this has helped out in understanding why some one would need an atamos ninja 5. Especially since it can save us boatloads on memory costs. This with the battery kit and two 1tb ssd's is cheaper than buying memory cards totaling 2 TB. With that knowledge and the knowledge you've presented here i can convince my boss to buy one of these puppies lol. Thanks again sir.
Hi Gerald! Can you please make a video explaining the Knee point and slope in HLG3 profile in Sony cameras? Zebras stop working when using slope level +3 or less. I own a Sony a7iii. Thanks in advance
Hey brother! You did save my new Ninja V a return to B&H Photo. I don't care much about anything but record a while longer and improve the audio by not routing the mics through the camera, which in itself is a vast improvement and worth the Ninja V price. Thank you, I will follow you now, indeed!👍👍
Hello Gerald! Hope u r doing good! I wanted to ask a simple question about the Ninja V. I hv a GH4 that does not record in V Log coz I never bought the 100 Dollar hassle as yet. So I wanted to know if I can get the same results (DR wise) by putting a LOG profile or LUT in my Ninja V and record my footage with this LUT (backed in)?? Tx
I've recently bought a Ninja V+ and it works with my Sony A-Mount A99II. Recorded a friend's 3hr gig (4 Rock bands) and the record quality is perfect, had no worries about the outdated 30min recording time of the camera. So far I'm loving it
Very helpful video. Most products we buy that are easy to use have huge booklets full of information we hardly read. But the lack of information manuals when buying Atomos products is just ridiculous.
I have a question about the “2 frame delay” of audio when using a Sony Camera. I read the manual and I think you might be mistaken about this setting. The manual seems to imply that this frame delay only applies to audio being recorded via the Ninja Mic Input, rather than any audio being transmitted via HDMI. However I am new to this, so very plausible that I am wrong.
How come no matter what I set the audio delay to the sound is still off/out of sync when I bring my footage into post? I’m plugging a rode videomic pro+ directly into my Sony a7iii.
Thanks, Andres! This is the closest thing I have to that: ua-cam.com/video/ptJuI1XovaU/v-deo.html Not exactly what you're looking for, but might help. Cheers!
Thanks for this helpful guide Gerald. Now that the Atomos Ninja V and V+ have firmware updates to have the unit automatically calibrate the right audio frame delay, would you recommend using this feature still for Sony cameras? My Atomos Ninja V+ is calculating a 9 frame audio delay. Should I stick with this 9 frame delay or the 2 frame delay you recommended for Sony cameras? Thanks!
Hi Gerald, thanks for putting this together. I am only using Ninja v as a monitor. When I connect it to Sony FS5, it looks beautiful. But when I pressor record on the camera, ninja goes black, no display. Is there something wrong with it or it's a setting? Thank you.
I wish you covered more on HDR... I just want it to record what I -was- getting on SD. I'm trying to move my workflow from SD to Atomos, but no matter what I do, the clips are 4K Rec709 when recorded on disk by the Atomos. I'm at a loss as to what's wrong. On the Atomos, it says UHD24 HLG for input, NO output, Monitor is Leeming LUT, and REC is ProRes 422. But the file, when loaded into FCPX, is Rec709 every time. Sony is set to record only to HDMI, 24p, 4K. PP10 with HLG and Rec2020 (which work fine and load as Rec 2020 when imported from SD). On the Record table, it's Pre-Roll Off, Pro Res codec, 422 , UDH23.98, and no pulldown. On the LUTs tab, Slot 1 is the Leeming LUT, but During Record and During Output are both off. Thoughts?
FCPX automatically converts 2020 to 709 for you..could that be your issue? Also, make sure your project isn't set to a standard 709 color space before importing footage. m.ua-cam.com/video/kdHpgmBqZg4/v-deo.html
Hi. Can I use the ninja v as a hdr monitor when we edit the hdr footage in FCPX? So do I need an extra setup apart from connect the hdmi cable and the MacBook? Thanks.
The audio point at 10:00 regarding the delay is probably connected to the “live” vs. “lip sync” setting of the sony cameras as that changes the synchronization of the audio that comes out of the hdmi port
This was a huge help. Not that ill ever use the hdr feature but just incase i get inspired too could you do another video on how to use it and what you would use this feature for....? Love your content so usefull
Set it up the way you show in this vid. Shooting with Nikon Z7. When trying to record, I get message "Cannot record with N-Log turned ON". I have to turn N-Log in camera to OFF. So my question is: What is the purpose of N-Log if I have to disable ti when recording ? Am I still gonna get flat footage for post color processing ? Thank you, you post great tutorials !
Hi Gerald thank you for the video! My trigger button is not turning on, and the legalize only turns on when I turn on HDR auto next to it do you please know why? Thank you!
Thanks so much for this. I'm really enjoying using this with my Fuji X-T3, there's a lot to learn in these unfamliar menus though and your breakdowns are invaluable. Keep up the great work... by far my favourite no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point, detailed guides out there!
Hey Gerald, I have an interesting question that either I'm blatantly missing something or may have not been addressed due to the overall purpose of the ninja V, but can you monitor on the Ninja V without recording?
You have no idea how hard it has been to find a video with this exact information. All of the Ninja V videos I’ve watched just walk through the menus, but provide no help in regards to setting it up properly for first-time users. Thanks, Gerald. You are sent from the heavens. I’ve got more of an audio related question. I can never seem to get any audio from the mic input, even with Analog enabled, just like you mentioned in this video. I’ve tried this with both my Deity D3 and my RØDE VideoMicro. I can’t tell if I’m missing something. I’m wondering now if my input jack is borked out of the box.
Hey! Unfortunately the Ninja V doesn't provide any power over the mic jack like cameras do, so devices that require that 3 volt signal to turn on won't work. I have the same problem with my D3.
Gerald Undone That makes a lot of sense. I guess I was under the impression that with the D3 having its own battery that it wouldn’t require phantom power. This is very helpful. Thanks, Gerald!
I shall now dig out my old-school (literally) pyramidal wood-cased wind-up clockwork piano lessons metronome and attempt to find the correct frame delay for my G9 and Ninja Flame. A very satisfying blend of good old analogue and cutting-edge digital. Suggestions on timing the 'clicks' welcome! Stay safe and keep your social distancing.
One of Curris Judd's videos suggested a 4 frame delay. I just tried it, that seems about right with a GH5. I am guessing Panasonic reuses hardware across both cameras so try that for a starting point
congratulations for your good work. I am having canon c100 mark 1 which is said to have 4K super 35 sensor. what resolution and FPS I can get using ninja V? Please guide
I dont know if this has been asked or not, but, how do you power atomos ninja v using d-tap connection to v-mount battery? Do you use a lp-e6 or sony np-f style dummy battery with d-tap connection? Thank you in advance, Gerald
Hey, thank you for your video! How can I access the memory modes while recording only via the Atomos Ninja? I like to quickly switch between 2 presets on the Sony A73. Best
Hey! Any suggestions on a camera with the same capabilities or better of the sony a7iii but with a flip screen so I can see what I am recording.(not the a6000 series or canons m50/mark6). Any Help Appreciated🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Mr. Undone 😊. Curious about dci message having to crop on my gh5 in h265 mode. My assumption was that dci was a different kind of connection as opposed to hdmi port, but it appears I am wrong. What is dci and why the crop to UHD. Thanks if you reply.
I have a question about the ninja, I’m using it mostly just as a monitor but if I turn the camera to portrait the view from the monitor turns upside down, how can I get the feed to display the correct way when I flip the camera into portrait mode?
I have the same setup. Have the Atomos Ninja 5 and a Sony A6400. My videos don't look anything like the one Gerald has here. I'm not sure if I should turn Legalize On or Off as a beginner.
Quick tip! You don't have to deselect the yellow or blue tabs at the bottom to access the red menu, in fact if you're on the record screen and leave the yellow tab open, you can simply click the info on the top of the screen to shortcut you to those tabs within the red menu. for example, tapping the battery icon will bring you to the batter tab within the red menu, tapping the input and output signal displayed at the top will bring you to the input or output tabs respectively. The say "in," "out"," "mon (will bring you to the yellow monitor tab)," etc.... just a time saving tip =) P.S. I'm no expert, just giving out some free info like Gerald
Great video, appreciate the knowlegde. I am shooting the EOS R6 and was wondering in I can configure the Atomos to capture the video in ALL-I instead of the IPB options that the R6 only shows? I shoot surfing videos and primary use the footage for frame grabs, so I want the best quality frame grab where erratic motion is filmed. Thanks in advance.
Hi Gerald. Any way to set the time and date? Is the feature available in Atomos Ninja ?
3 роки тому
Hi Gerald ! Thanks a lot for your video ! I have a problem with my atomos ninja V. I have a delay in the video and sound monitor. Do you know how can i fix the problem please ?
Thanks for the info. I'm considering buying the Canon r6 mark ii which needs to externally record 6k raw. The ninja V was recommend. Do you agree and is it a possible subject for a video?
This might be a stupid question, but if you use the LUT on the monitor, does it show noise? Obviously the LUT overlay would be a great tip for shooting Log if it helps you expose enough to reduce the noise etc
I know it’s a while since you posted this, but I recently purchased the ninja v and followed the advice given here with regards to leaving log/HDR off and Leagalise ON. On a recent shoot, the image on the ninja looked great, exposure and white balance wise, but on importing the footage to PP, the footage is much darker, over saturated and the white balance is way off when I apply the same LUT that I monitored with. I reported to Atomos and they tell me the issue is that I need to have Log/HDR on rather than legalise “because your camera outputs a full range of log profiles, not the legal range”. Confused! Any ideas?
So if I shoot S-Log 3, I should keep turned off that camera output feature? I am asking because I would mainly use ninja V for anamorphic desqueeze and preview of log footage with my LUT. I don't do recording, just a preview for correct exposure and sense of what it would look like since I would still color grade it in DaVinci.
Another video bringing me closer to changing my ninja inferno into the V, but one caveat: ninja V is inferior in the pursuit of camera fitness routines due to the weight. Learned this recently 😂
I sold my FS5+Shogun Inferno to opt for the Nikon Z6 and Ninja V. I miss 120 FPS RAW sometimes but for the most part i dont regret that at all. I get more contet from every shoot becuse of less setup time.
Hi Gerald, thank you for all your work! B&H has the Ninja V on sale right now (May 2023) and I have some video work coming up with my Nikon Z7 and Z7II. Is this still a helpful tool for me to have on a gig? I would probably just have one to record the #1 camera but I'm assuming it would extend my record time from the otherwise limit of 30 minutes. Thank you. Dennis
Great video, My Ninja is saying it's set to UHD59.94 when all the camera settings are saying 23.967 output to the HDMI. any idea how to change this?? it's driving me nuts. thanks!
Thanks for the video breakdown. My ninja v is shipping to me and these were questions I already had from an audio perspective. The menus look a little intimidating but this video helped bring down the anxiety a bit.
Hmmm. OK.. I always shoot Log with J-HDR enabled (JVC LS-300 Log) to monitor in PQ and grade in FCPX manually with no issues. So shooting legal disables monitoring in PQ? I’ll have to update and experiment when I have some free time. Or since I seem to have no issues not to worry about it?
Thank you G for your another awesome tutorial! I have officially upgraded my Ninja V and your videos are my first hand tips source for my workflow improvement. Many thanks 😊
Any idea why we wouldn't get the option to select which audio tracks are recorded? Analog is greyed out. HDMI 1-2 is a lighter shade of grey. Nothing is red.
Thanks for doing this. Recently I was doing some live streaming and I was monkeying around with the Ninja, trying to take the audio from the audio mixer directly into the Ninja. Afterwards I was not getting my audio from the camera into the Ninja. This tutorial allowed me to reset the audio so it works again.
Hi Gerald, hope you’re well. I just got the Sony A7siii and have been exploring the ProRes RAW recording through Ninja V. One thing I have not been able to find any info on is why the Ninja V recording time remaining indicator shows 23:50 remaining for a 500GB SSD and yet it suppose to record up to 80+ minutes. I did noticed the record time remaining seems to be at a 3rd of real time recording since for every 3.5 minutes of actual recording, it only reduces the time remaining by 1 min on the ninja v. Any ideas how to fix this? Is there a setting on the ninja v I’m not aware of that needs to be changed to match the actual recording time? Thanks
Hi Gerald your video is very helpful. but i had problem with my a7iii and ninja v. how to recording1080p 60p from a7iii to ninja v using hdmi port ? why i only see 4k and cannot switch to 1080p? i need 1080p to get 60fps, because recording in 4k with 7iii only had 30fps. thank you for answering me..
Hi Gerald Thanks for great video . I have the latest firmware on my Ninja V hooked to a7siii , for some reason HDR toggle in camera input is grayed out and I can't change it nor get the legalized. Could you please help me with this issue!? Thank you

Gerald! Can you make a video about Color Space / Gamma / HDR / Rec709 etc? I kinda understand these things but they're also kinda mysterious.
Maybe you could too :)
Did Gerald ever do this?

I wish you covered more on HDR... I just want it to record what I -was- getting on SD. I'm trying to move my workflow from SD to Atomos, but no matter what I do, the clips are 4K Rec709 when recorded on disk by the Atomos. I'm at a loss as to what's wrong. On the Atomos, it says UHD24 HLG for input, NO output, Monitor is Leeming LUT, and REC is ProRes 422. But the file, when loaded into FCPX, is Rec709 every time. Sony is set to record only to HDMI, 24p, 4K. PP10 with HLG and Rec2020 (which work fine and load as Rec 2020 when imported from SD).
On the Record table, it's Pre-Roll Off, Pro Res codec, 422 , UDH23.98, and no pulldown.
On the LUTs tab, Slot 1 is the Leeming LUT, but During Record and During Output are both off.
Thoughts?
FCPX automatically converts 2020 to 709 for you..could that be your issue?
Also, make sure your project isn't set to a standard 709 color space before importing footage.
m.ua-cam.com/video/kdHpgmBqZg4/v-deo.html
you don't have to jump between the red and yellow settings page, just touch "monitor" on the top middle while being in the rec mode.
Hi. Can I use the ninja v as a hdr monitor when we edit the hdr footage in FCPX? So do I need an extra setup apart from connect the hdmi cable and the MacBook? Thanks.
Hugely helpful clarification. Thanks so much Gerald. 💛😎🙏🏼
The audio point at 10:00 regarding the delay is probably connected to the “live” vs. “lip sync” setting of the sony cameras as that changes the synchronization of the audio that comes out of the hdmi port
I loved the last idea referring to the Playstation :) )) Brilliant.
This was a huge help.
Not that ill ever use the hdr feature but just incase i get inspired too could you do another video on how to use it and what you would use this feature for....?
Love your content so usefull
If I’m using atmos Ninja 5, can I record the sound straight to it instead of using zoom sound recorder? Please let me know.
Thank you
you can
Thank you! Was just wondering about the Log/HDR switch and found your video! Saved me so much time researching. Thank Thank you!
Set it up the way you show in this vid. Shooting with Nikon Z7. When trying to record, I get message "Cannot record with N-Log turned ON". I have to turn N-Log in camera to OFF. So my question is: What is the purpose of N-Log if I have to disable ti when recording ? Am I still gonna get flat footage for post color processing ? Thank you, you post great tutorials !
Hi Gerald thank you for the video! My trigger button is not turning on, and the legalize only turns on when I turn on HDR auto next to it do you please know why? Thank you!
I have the Sony A7iii the hdmi out is lowered at 4k25fps how big difference is from 4k30fps? Should I consider camera upgrading?
Thanks so much for this. I'm really enjoying using this with my Fuji X-T3, there's a lot to learn in these unfamliar menus though and your breakdowns are invaluable. Keep up the great work... by far my favourite no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point, detailed guides out there!
Great job as always Jerald. Thanks for making this video for us amateurs.
Hey Gerald, I have an interesting question that either I'm blatantly missing something or may have not been addressed due to the overall purpose of the ninja V, but can you monitor on the Ninja V without recording?
Hey Gerald, I just set my Ninja V up with my R6, is there a way to display the AF tracking directly on the monitor rather than the camera's LCD?
You have no idea how hard it has been to find a video with this exact information. All of the Ninja V videos I’ve watched just walk through the menus, but provide no help in regards to setting it up properly for first-time users.
Thanks, Gerald. You are sent from the heavens.
I’ve got more of an audio related question.
I can never seem to get any audio from the mic input, even with Analog enabled, just like you mentioned in this video. I’ve tried this with both my Deity D3 and my RØDE VideoMicro. I can’t tell if I’m missing something. I’m wondering now if my input jack is borked out of the box.
Hey! Unfortunately the Ninja V doesn't provide any power over the mic jack like cameras do, so devices that require that 3 volt signal to turn on won't work. I have the same problem with my D3.
Gerald Undone That makes a lot of sense. I guess I was under the impression that with the D3 having its own battery that it wouldn’t require phantom power. This is very helpful. Thanks, Gerald!
Yeah, it's not quite phantom power. It's more like plug-in detection power used to tell smart devices there's a device connected.
Gerald Undone Oh, so if I’m understanding this correctly, it’s more of a handshake and not a power issue?
Gerald could you please share the manual?
Now I have my Ninja V full operating! Great tips Gerald! Thanks
Would love to see a Sony Raw video with Atomos Shogun Inferno/7 and any of the compatible Sony SDI raw cams, FS700r/FS5/FS7/
I shall now dig out my old-school (literally) pyramidal wood-cased wind-up clockwork piano lessons metronome and attempt to find the correct frame delay for my G9 and Ninja Flame. A very satisfying blend of good old analogue and cutting-edge digital. Suggestions on timing the 'clicks' welcome!
Stay safe and keep your social distancing.
Love it!
One of Curris Judd's videos suggested a 4 frame delay. I just tried it, that seems about right with a GH5. I am guessing Panasonic reuses hardware across both cameras so try that for a starting point
I have a problem with davinci, it doesn’t import pro res raw videos I shoot with the Ninja V. Do you know why?
Thanks, Gerald. As always, a very clear presentation of information.
congratulations for your good work. I am having canon c100 mark 1 which is said to have 4K super 35 sensor. what resolution and FPS I can get using ninja V? Please guide
I dont know if this has been asked or not, but, how do you power atomos ninja v using d-tap connection to v-mount battery? Do you use a lp-e6 or sony np-f style dummy battery with d-tap connection? Thank you in advance, Gerald
Would you recommend recording audio with Ninja V or camera (Nikon D850) mic (Rode) input?
What do you do when you press the record button of your camera to record the atomos ninja at the same time?
Hey, thank you for your video! How can I access the memory modes while recording only via the Atomos Ninja? I like to quickly switch between 2 presets on the Sony A73. Best
do you need to set audio delay in case you connect your mic directly to recorder?
Hey! Any suggestions on a camera with the same capabilities or better of the sony a7iii but with a flip screen so I can see what I am recording.(not the a6000 series or canons m50/mark6). Any Help Appreciated🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Mr. Undone 😊. Curious about dci message having to crop on my gh5 in h265 mode. My assumption was that dci was a different kind of connection as opposed to hdmi port, but it appears I am wrong. What is dci and why the crop to UHD. Thanks if you reply.
Hi Gerald, Can you power the Ninja directly from a usb-c power bank?
You'd need an adapter to go to Sony L-series dummy battery.
@@geraldundone thx :)
I have a question about the ninja, I’m using it mostly just as a monitor but if I turn the camera to portrait the view from the monitor turns upside down, how can I get the feed to display the correct way when I flip the camera into portrait mode?
I have the same setup. Have the Atomos Ninja 5 and a Sony A6400. My videos don't look anything like the one Gerald has here. I'm not sure if I should turn Legalize On or Off as a beginner.
Quick tip! You don't have to deselect the yellow or blue tabs at the bottom to access the red menu, in fact if you're on the record screen and leave the yellow tab open, you can simply click the info on the top of the screen to shortcut you to those tabs within the red menu. for example, tapping the battery icon will bring you to the batter tab within the red menu, tapping the input and output signal displayed at the top will bring you to the input or output tabs respectively. The say "in," "out"," "mon (will bring you to the yellow monitor tab)," etc.... just a time saving tip =)
P.S. I'm no expert, just giving out some free info like Gerald
Great video, appreciate the knowlegde. I am shooting the EOS R6 and was wondering in I can configure the Atomos to capture the video in ALL-I instead of the IPB options that the R6 only shows? I shoot surfing videos and primary use the footage for frame grabs, so I want the best quality frame grab where erratic motion is filmed. Thanks in advance.
I have the Amazon basics HDMI cable, a Sony a6500 but I don't have the option of 4K recording in the "Input" tab
My camera output menu is greyed out, what setting needs to occur to give me the ability to change that setting?
Hi Gerald. Any way to set the time and date? Is the feature available in Atomos Ninja ?
Hi Gerald ! Thanks a lot for your video ! I have a problem with my atomos ninja V. I have a delay in the video and sound monitor. Do you know how can i fix the problem please ?
What would be best, connect a rode external mic to a Sony a7iii or connect the mic to the Ninja V? Any benefits of one approach over the other?
Thanks for the info. I'm considering buying the Canon r6 mark ii which needs to externally record 6k raw. The ninja V was recommend. Do you agree and is it a possible subject for a video?
This might be a stupid question, but if you use the LUT on the monitor, does it show noise? Obviously the LUT overlay would be a great tip for shooting Log if it helps you expose enough to reduce the noise etc
I know it’s a while since you posted this, but I recently purchased the ninja v and followed the advice given here with regards to leaving log/HDR off and Leagalise ON. On a recent shoot, the image on the ninja looked great, exposure and white balance wise, but on importing the footage to PP, the footage is much darker, over saturated and the white balance is way off when I apply the same LUT that I monitored with. I reported to Atomos and they tell me the issue is that I need to have Log/HDR on rather than legalise “because your camera outputs a full range of log profiles, not the legal range”.
Confused! Any ideas?
So if I shoot S-Log 3, I should keep turned off that camera output feature?
I am asking because I would mainly use ninja V for anamorphic desqueeze and preview of log footage with my LUT.
I don't do recording, just a preview for correct exposure and sense of what it would look like since I would still color grade it in DaVinci.
does the atomos V have a horizontal level ? I cant handle the r6 and the level disappearing when I hit record. brutal.
Another video bringing me closer to changing my ninja inferno into the V, but one caveat: ninja V is inferior in the pursuit of camera fitness routines due to the weight. Learned this recently 😂
I sold my FS5+Shogun Inferno to opt for the Nikon Z6 and Ninja V. I miss 120 FPS RAW sometimes but for the most part i dont regret that at all. I get more contet from every shoot becuse of less setup time.
Have you hear of how many audio delay frames you use for a Fuji X-T4 camera? thx.
Hi Gerald, thank you for all your work! B&H has the Ninja V on sale right now (May 2023) and I have some video work coming up with my Nikon Z7 and Z7II. Is this still a helpful tool for me to have on a gig? I would probably just have one to record the #1 camera but I'm assuming it would extend my record time from the otherwise limit of 30 minutes. Thank you. Dennis
Great video, My Ninja is saying it's set to UHD59.94 when all the camera settings are saying 23.967 output to the HDMI. any idea how to change this?? it's driving me nuts. thanks!
Thanks for the video breakdown. My ninja v is shipping to me and these were questions I already had from an audio perspective. The menus look a little intimidating but this video helped bring down the anxiety a bit.
Hmmm. OK.. I always shoot Log with J-HDR enabled (JVC LS-300 Log) to monitor in PQ and grade in FCPX manually with no issues. So shooting legal disables monitoring in PQ? I’ll have to update and experiment when I have some free time. Or since I seem to have no issues not to worry about it?
Hi Gerald, will you do another video covering the PR0-RES RAW Unlock for other users? Which I have done myself. :)
HELP PLEASE
FOR SOME REASON I CANNOT TURN OFF MY CAMERA OUTPUT SETINGS ON THE INPUT MENU.
Thank you G for your another awesome tutorial! I have officially upgraded my Ninja V and your videos are my first hand tips source for my workflow improvement. Many thanks 😊
Any idea why we wouldn't get the option to select which audio tracks are recorded? Analog is greyed out. HDMI 1-2 is a lighter shade of grey. Nothing is red.
Thanks for doing this. Recently I was doing some live streaming and I was monkeying around with the Ninja, trying to take the audio from the audio mixer directly into the Ninja. Afterwards I was not getting my audio from the camera into the Ninja. This tutorial allowed me to reset the audio so it works again.
Hi Gerald, hope you’re well. I just got the Sony A7siii and have been exploring the ProRes RAW recording through Ninja V. One thing I have not been able to find any info on is why the Ninja V recording time remaining indicator shows 23:50 remaining for a 500GB SSD and yet it suppose to record up to 80+ minutes. I did noticed the record time remaining seems to be at a 3rd of real time recording since for every 3.5 minutes of actual recording, it only reduces the time remaining by 1 min on the ninja v. Any ideas how to fix this? Is there a setting on the ninja v I’m not aware of that needs to be changed to match the actual recording time? Thanks
Hi Gerald your video is very helpful.
but i had problem with my a7iii and ninja v.
how to recording1080p 60p from a7iii to ninja v using hdmi port ?
why i only see 4k and cannot switch to 1080p?
i need 1080p to get 60fps, because recording in 4k with 7iii only had 30fps.
thank you for answering me..
Can you save videos with LUTs applied so you dont have to apply in post? Or is it only for monitoring?
Thanks again for making it so easy for us to understand the settings on the Ninja V.
I have a question, do you use a teleprompter? and if so can you show us which one you use?
Hi Gerald
Thanks for great video .
I have the latest firmware on my Ninja V hooked to a7siii , for some reason HDR toggle in camera input is grayed out and I can't change it nor get the legalized. Could you please help me with this issue!?
Thank you
Hi Gerald, you know if is possible to power ninja V with v mount battery ? maybe D-tap connecting ?
Again, SUPER helpful. Much appreciated.
I've watched the previous video and am still confused about legalize. Are there hard rules to follow?
