How about just fixing the camera in the first place, DJI?
As a test I sent some footage to a Swedish postproduction house last week. Got the feedback the other day, and as I suspected... Footage generated by the Inspire1 suffers from severe compression artefacts which renders the footage more or less unusable for commercial work. This has nothing to do with the H264 codecs limitations. The camera can produce the quality needed but its the compression settings that limit the footage from looking great. The feedback that I got was that they use footage from the GoPro Hero4 from time to time, In commercial work. But he would not feel comfortable using the footage from the Inspire1 because it generates a compression flickering in the images that is hard to tone down without serious denoising. This makes me feel cheated. The investment I took and the lack of professional response from DJI Is just so bad PR in my opinion.
I think that DJI need to take this serious and come up with a solution to the problem. If I buy the camera separately today It costs 867USD. I would expect that sort of camera to be optimised to deliver a clean H264 image, at least. Not ProRes, just a clean H264 would be fine!
Need to have features first, then we go for the nIce to have features! Plz.
