I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the I2. The ProRes is what I'll be using and I want to know if it is up to par with what I would get out of an atomos. According to the specs I see no reason why the I2 would be having issues. I would love to hear more as I am researching whether to buy the I2 ?
I'm not saying thats what's happening in this case, but 99% of the time folks complain about stuttering footage, the machine they are playing back on is the culprit.
As for the quality of the ProRes, the quality is great. Every bit as good as you could achieve from a recorder. The only downside is that the prores footage is largely un-processed (meaning it doesn't have the Micro 4/3 lens corrections and noise reduction that the H264/5 codecs have). For landscape work, this probably isn't much of an issue, if you do architecture, especially with the wider lenses, you will see higher levels of distortion than the H264, and really not have access to quality tools for correcting those distortions. There is some sort of fix in the works for this, most likely a correction that will work in PremierePro, as DJI has done this previously. Otherwise, as someone who has been shooting with professional cinema cameras for years, the ProRes files from the I2 are generally fantastic. |
