OK… I just had a look through the white paper but I think I’m still confused..
I guess I assumed that applying the ProRes codec would either make the file size smaller or at most equal to the original file size, thinking that it was some kind of a compression. And that even though an increase in resolution from 720 to 1080 would increase the filesize it wouldnt be almost 6 times bigger.. It seems a bit pointless to me, because surely the image quality can’t get any better once it has been recorded?

Which part have I got mixed up?

Thanks for helping

Right, so buying an ND filter it is.

You mentioned the shutter speed and normally I wouldn’t be faster than say 1/60th but is there any difference when using DSLR? I was at a DSLR shoot where the operator kept on changing the shutter speed but I’ve always been told that you need a bit of exposure time to make the frames flow together (unless you want that bespoke Saving private ryan effect).

So to clarify my question, is there any difference between DSLR and video/film on the use of shutter speed?

(shooting 24 or 25fps)

Many thanks all

Thanks for the help everybody!
I tried Andys plugin and it looks like it is exactly what I’m looking for but the feathering feature doesn’t seem to work! The ugly border works fine but nothing happens when the feather is changed…Any ideas?
