    • @BenjaminHardman
      @BenjaminHardman 2 месяца назад

      Sure I’ll do that for you! It is a bit of a rogue process but I was using 1.3 desqueeze on the small RED monitor and then correctly squeezing further to 1.5 in Davinci. A work around would be to film with no desqueeze and use a monitor that can do 1.5x preview, then do it in post.

    • @decoyimages
      @decoyimages 2 месяца назад

      @@BenjaminHardman thanks for your answer! I think I'll follow the same path using 1.33X for monitoring. I really hate adding cables for signal and power in order to use a monitor that does a 1.5X squeeze. Just want to keep low footprint as you. Did you shoot full 6K for more sensor real estate? Anyway, I was referring about the de-squeeze process in Resolve. It will be much helpful and will save me a lot of time experimenting on how to achieve the correct aspect ratio. I'm not lazy but I'll have to start shooting for a project as soon as the lenses arrive and I won't have the time fiddling around in Resolve. Thanks again!!

    When we had ice and snow here in Middle Tennessee which is rare that's what I did get that ice out from under the car around the car. My neighbors really don't know what to do. But I lived in the mountains of California so I have some experience... And I know how to drive in snow and put on chains but probably need a refresher.. neighbors will see me do something crazy and put a sheet on my windows so they won't be so icy in those rare storms.. our cars recovered with the layer of ice.. ...

    You mentioned that it can also be a setup to have a mirrorless cam with an AF lens. Does it mean to set the AF lens to manual focus mode and use the DJI Focus pro system? Any experience with this setup? Does it significantly improve the focus quality compared to the AF mode of the AF lens?

    • @BenjaminHardman
      @BenjaminHardman 2 месяца назад

      That’s correct! You would need to add a focus ring to your lens and select the MF function. I think the effectiveness over normal autofocus on newer mirrorless cameras really depends on how you are using your camera. The LiDAR unit has the ability to focus much better in darker lighting situations as well as offering very accurate subject tracking up to 20m distance once calibrated.
