@bkmcwd @driftwood Cluster X Gop1 VK in HBR with 14-45mm lens it records fine but doesn't play in cam; tried both with Sandisk 30mbs and 45 mbs 32GB freshly re-formated cards. but plays after I turn the cam off and on again. in FH/H cam gave read error mesage couple of times again turn off and on plays fine. Had no issues with Gop 6 version but spizz did the same playback issue one time. maybe the cards are problematic or slow. I'll shoot more with other lenses also.

@driftwood How does Cluster X hold up against Intravenus I and II? Is the idea behind Cluster to out perform Intravenus?

Coincidentally, in this video here I was able to use Intravenus II on the mediums and close ups, and the wides were done with Cluster X (2 different cameras). The grain is from RGrain. Also the lighting and whatnot may not be top-notch (as I was busy with the whole 'sound engineering' thing).

@rigs all the time pal no worries as I wrote "freshly re-formated cards"

@pop24

Really nice one.

Video footage for you soon, but I shot 'VK' yesterday morning with the Panasonic Kit lens at the wide end outdoors stopped down high DOF very detailed scenes in constant motion as all shots were with a jib with absolutely no problem whatsoever. Didn't go over 3 minutes in any take but everything performed very solidly and it's looking good.

One strange note, a conversion in my newly purchased 5D2RGB batch seems to introduce motion problems on a couple of the jib shots with VK, whereas FCPX direct is not. (Which is weird because I bought 5D2RGB after having some problems in FCPX with other hacks, sometimes.)

This isn't really an edit, and clearly I've got work with the jib more in a few places but except for the time-lapses and I believe one stabilized shot, here are some 'VK' shots in motion strung together:

@pop24

great!!!

Just back from two hours messing with "VK" in avid symphony alongside a very pretty sony oled studio monitor. @cbrandin @driftwood, this is incredible work. We tried again and again to break the footage -- maxing out saturation, pushing things way towards yellow or blue (mexico to buffalo looks). We couldn't destroy it. It was unreal. I've never worked with dslr footage like this before. About the only thing we noticed with exceptionally agressive grades was noise in the bottom 10 percent of shadows, especially red shadows. But dark blue and green areas mostly stayed pristine, and the red noise was so confined to the red channel it would be a breeze to clean up.

So glad I cancelled my bmcc pre order and got the 7-14 and 12-35 instead. Was wondering about it until this patch, but now, not anymore. Hats off to you guys.

@vlcharris none on that because I was trying to show it as un-changed as possible from the original hacked footage. I agree with the JDN, though, I did a little grading after I posted and trimmed things up a bit and it seems like a very robust hack for post-work.

@kellar42, good footage. What lens? look like a manual optic.

@kellar42 The setting contains insane quantisation levels giving unrivalled quality across the whole picture. Its stabilising the other modes which is proving difficult. However, we are after near lossless quality and things are rather over the top cutting edge!
