Thanks Jerome for reply.. Really appreciate it.

I tried to export the XML from FCPX and then opened it. Surprisingly could open the project and could play/see the videos but moment I tried to edit something. Everything suddenly disappeared and returned to same situation the old XML from resolve.

One thing observed i.e. when I exported XML from FCPX it changed the resolution & frame rate of project. i.e. to 720 HD & 24 Fps

Original resolution from Resolve is 2400X1350 and 23.98 fps. Original XML project from resolve is not allowing to see the resolution from wrench (setting) symbol in FCPX, neither allowing to modify or change it. Seems some issue with respect to resolution. Might be some mixed resolution clips as I had cropped some clips while editing before this stopped showing/playing video?

Any further suggestions ? I will upgrade soon as I was not using FCPX for long time. Just started this project after long time so had old one.

Thanks & Regards,
Sunil

Thanks again Ric. I was just going through the lens. As per specifications we can use EF and ZE lenses for BMD Cinema camera ? What about Canon canon EF-S Lenses ? Are EF-S lens also compatible with BMD cinema camera. Also read that Full Frame cameras can only use EF lenses. APS-H sensors can only use EF lenses,EF-S lenses won’t work. APS-H are sensors with crop factor 1.3x. This means that they are 1.3x smaller than Full Frame sensors and therefore, crop some of your image.

Thanks,

Thanks a ton Rick for detailed explanation and your valuable inputs.

Sorry to bother you again. What is this “rolling shutter” issue with BMD cinema camera, I read in many reviews. Would love to have detailed explanation on this if any at your end. Is it a major draw back ? How it is going to affect ? Thanks again in advance for your valuable inputs on this doubt.

Hello All,

I concluded/gathered few inputs/facts and points over BMD reviews. Kindly help in explaining the doubts as mentioned below:

I read that BMD is better than:5Dmk2, GH2 and fs100 ? Can anyone explain the difference ?

If Cant afford scarlet or EPIC or a C300, Can go for BMD ? means these are yet better than BMD if price is not a issue?

Read that Arri Alexa has same sensor as BMD ? Is it True? What difference it will make for Arri Alexa ?

I read it is faster to use than a h.264 style camera, because you’re shooting native ProRes and the files can be used right away without the messy transcoding steps. Is it good option to use file directly ? What difference it makes if Prores is not used beside time and messy steps ?

Read that When you’re shooting RAW, every frame is a DNG image file. That means you can open them in Photoshop, and presumably everything else ADOBE like After Effects. What is major advantage of this ?

Read that can shoot RAW and get everything, or you can shoot Pro Res and get either a LOG image that gets you almost everything, or a REC709 that gets you pretty great looking pictures that can be used right out of the camera. Does this mean need not to work on these pictures ?

Read that SSD’s are reliable, relatively cheap for the performance they offer and they are very readily available. As a consumer item, their costs are on a constant downward trajectory too. What are other Pros and cons of SSD ?

Read that Sensor Size very similar to the NIKON 1 which is 13.2 x 8.8. BMD is 15.6 x 8.8 (15.6 sounds like Diagonal). Does this difference makes any major impact ?

This means sensor size Closer to m4/3 ? Right?

It means we can use wide m4/3 lenses. What are the wide m4/3 lenses avaibale in market which will suit best for BMD ?

Read that the sigma 8-16mm ef-s mount rectilinear lens will give you about 18-37mm (35mm equivalent coverage) This is based on a 2.3x crop factor I’ve read elsewhere. Not sure if that’s accurate. How far is this true ?

Read that the Canon 10-22 EF-S zoom translates to 15mm-33mm on the BMD. How far is this true ?

Read that 16mm Lenses won’t cover the sensor size? Still doubt on this point ? If so why?

Also what about Audio quality on this BMD camera? What are audio options for BMD ?

It will be great if you guys explain these points.
