4k ProRes 422HQ – Any Issues?
I’m wondering if anyone has experienced any strange issues with 4k ProRes 422HQ 23.98 from BlackMagic cameras (Ursa and Pocket). Currently having audio dropout after playing just a few seconds. Seems to be pretty consistent. Can stop and resume playing, but then cuts out after a few seconds again. Don’t really need to shoot anything at that bit rate, but currently we have footage at that. Viewing at 1/2 or 1/4 doesn’t help. My producer created proxies and that audio cut out as well. Played from two different sources, with same results – audio cut out. And two different computers with same results. Been troubleshooting a long list of possible issues/fixes, but so far nothing other than possible source file problem.
Imported single file into new project and same results. I am told that there was a recent firmware update to both cameras. That was when the cameras switched from a lower ProRes 422 to the HQ. It wasn’t noticed right away. I believe there were new LUTs that went with that update.
One strange thing was forcing a preview render on timeline actually played audio/video fine.
Just trying to find out if anyone else has experienced any issues. Thanks!
