Concerning the FX3 - If your church is a smaller church like mine, where the lights are less than 20ft up and away from the stage/platform, it might be better to stick with the cameras you have, and use the money you'd spend upgrading to 1 or 2 FX3's on buying some rigging and like 6 Amaran lights and fresnels lens modifiers.
Hey! Sorry to ask a dumb question. You use an effect in this video at 1:16 where you "push" the video to the right and bring in a graphic on the left. I don't need you to tell me HOW to do that, but I would love to know what it's CALLED so I can watch a video and learn how to do it. I'm editing in DaVinci. Thanks so much - I was able to pick up a couple of cameras because of your recommendations. As always, you guys are the best!
I’m not sure in Davinci specifically (I edit in premier pro) but I’m guessing that the graphic design was made in photoshop and then they just made it slide on to the side of the screen using key points. So maybe UA-cam how to use key points? Also I’m assuming that’s how they move the video also. They keypoint it to move over when the graphic comes on the screen. And then probably add some motion blur to make it smoother. And maybe add an ease in/out effect. Maybe UA-cam: how to use key points in davinci, motion blur, and how to ease in/out. Hope that helps!
I was going to go with the Blackmagic pocket cinema, but there's no long lens for it is there? For instances, Sony has the 18-135mm lens. What lens does Blackmagic have for their cameras? I couldn't find any.
With the FX30, there is no need for a dummy battery. I personally use the USB C port for power delivery. I just my plug MacBook USB C charger in and it keeps the camera going for however long I need. Hope this is helpful, but if you use the dummy battery for a different reason, I'd be curious to know why :)
This is actually a bad idea because you are killing your battery. USB-C is charging the battery while the camera is draining it, thus putting the battery under more load & stress and degrading the batteries health This means your expansive genuine battery when you actually need it as battery will poor battery life. You will need to then buy a new one which expensive. Using a dummy battery means power deliver is direct and the battery isn’t being cycled unnecessarily. This is why dummy batteries exist, so you don’t kill your expensive batteries.
May I ask, I'm a newbie to this world of photography. We have a small house of worship. We're installing a BlackMagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 at a fixed location with a view of the stage (20 feet wide). The camera is positioned 30 feet from the stage and attached to the ceiling (10 feet high). What's the ideal lense to buy? I want to set the zoom and focus and leave it alone. Every Sunday morning, turn on BlackMagic without adjusting the lenses, and be ready to go. Perhaps Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Power O.I.S. Lens ($499)?
Hi Brady, thanks for the info. what are the 3 lenses that support power zoom for black magic 4k plus g2? I need a lens that can zoom from the back of church to stage like 50 feet or 80ft.
Excellent point! I also mention this as well as the BMPCC 6K Pro under the BMPCC 4K in my article. Both are great upgrade options from the original BMPCC 4K.

Shouts to our editor. They’re making that magic happen. So I can’t say for certain.

This! There is no reason to use a dummy battery! You can plug it straight into a wall and be good
Fascinating. We actually had a third-party vendor suggest we go with the dummy battery so we just went with it. Great tip!
@@prochurchtools you can actually charge the battery this way to lol.

@@DarrenAllatt people run their camera off a vmount battery all day using the usb-c PD.

If you want a Pocket Cinema Camera from Blackmagic that is slightly more expensive, the 6K PCC is ef mount.
Indeed 🫡

What camera are you using for this video? 😊
Great video help full ❤
Glad it helped
@@prochurchtools yaaa because we are also in budget church we are trying to buying a new camera in budget.
Big wins for Sony today
They've been winning big for several years now. I was resistant to them for long before finally making the switch. So glad we did.
