[Robin S. Kurz] “How don’t you already have that without any algorithm? These are two random frames from a couple of my iPhone videos (merely scaled by 50%, otherwise untouched and even taken with the built-in camera app for a change, so “sloppy” compared to what is possible otherwise):”
Yes they look very much like iPhone shots
[Robin S. Kurz] “The client just HATED it. What a moron for not sending me home quickly!”
Although he might have loved a little bit more if you’d shot it with your Ursa
[Robin S. Kurz] “Would the highlights have been less blown out with my URSA MP (or even with simply more than just available light) and had EVEN LESS DOF (that I don’t even want)? Sure. As well as making getting the same pictures exponentially more of a PITA. So I guess given that, these images are of course crap and totally unacceptable for a “true pro!”, right? … ????????

[Bill Davis] “In portrait mode, the fake shallow depth of field that the dual lens iPhones can pull off can be pretty darn convincing.
“
True it’s stunning and I use it all the time, but if you look closer then you can see that the edges are still slightly soft around the mask, I think it will be a while before we get this on video in any way that is convincing
Did you know the COW has an \”ignore\” feature?

Very useful thanks for posting.
It’s very amusing to read the original discussions back now that Apple have decided to ‘fix” the bug

[Tony West] “If you go in for free they might not complain, but I’m not working for free, so I’m not brining it (except to return text about my next jobs : )) “
Besides if we all started using iPhones, Peli would go out of business!

Whilst shooting on an iPhone is definitely usable, I don’t see many of the successful new “kids” shooting on them, they seem to use the cheaper DSLRs instead. That’s where real changes are happening, we use an A6300 as a “B” cam to our FS7 and the difference between the two is minimal to say the least and most of them don’t cost a great deal more than an iPhone X!

[Oliver Peters] “but it’s still a highly compressed image that doesn’t hold up side-by-side.”
In certain circumstances yes, but I’ve used my iPhone 7 and iPhone X as an additional camera in multicam shoots with Sony FS7 and FS700s and it matches pretty well in the right lighting conditions.

[Robin S. Kurz] “Sorry to have triggered your pavlovian nerve so harshly… but feel free to point out when and where I said that that was NOT possible.
“Sorry I meant this bit
[Robin S. Kurz] “needing an eGPU with TWO beefy GPUs just to get realtime with a few 1080p clips that have effects, on a 2017 MBP?! Over AN HOUR for an 8-minute export without them?”
Based on my EXPERIENCE with R15 over the last few days, That bit is rubbish.
FYI could I just point out once again that I am an FCPX user, I’ve used it since it came out and I’m pretty sure I’ve used it just as much as you have so you don’t have to trigger YOUR “pavlovian response” as well.

[Oliver Peters] “Is this the first time you’ve been exposed to Grant? This is all pretty standard fair for him. He’s a man on a mission. Why do you think there’s been no love lost between AJA and BMD? Kind of ironic comments for someone he is also a facility owner, don’t you think? ☺”
It sounds a little like Apple PR don’t you think ☺
Not sure why some of the FCPX faithful are so riled up about R15, we should be excited, it plays very well with FCPX and strikes a bit of a blow to Adobe!

[Robin S. Kurz] “Even a base model iMac from a few years back would give me realtime and a fraction of export times running FCP. What’s wrong with this picture? Surely there’s something horribly amiss? How else could or would anyone consider this for even the most basic editing?
“This is rubbish, I’ve just finished an FCPX project shot on Alexa on R15 in HD and the performance was excellent on my 2013 MacBook Pro, not as fast as FCPX of course but still very usable.
