EDIUS Pro 8: Nonlinear Editing Software Datasheet (GVB-1-0517M-EN-DS) File size: 2.0 MB, posted Jul 05 2017 When an editor has to wait for technology, creativity suffers. That doesn't happen with EDIUS Pro 8. EDIUS Pro 8 means more formats and more resolutions in real time for the ability to Edit Anything, Fast. EDIUS Pro 8 is the perfect finishing tool for professional productions, including documentary and 4K theatrical productions.
If video is shot in HLG format directly, it can be distributed without any color grading in cases where timing is of the essence.
Then, isn't it possible for Log format cameras like S-Log or V-Log to be used in such fields? Although a Log signal needs to be converted to HLG or Perceptual Quantization (PQ) in order to be displayed on consumer TVs, the conversion itself is not difficult. Leaving live production to one side, we can play out HDR clips with a short time lag after quick editing such as cut & paste, title addition and format conversion by using EDIUS.
But to do so, some points need to be taken into account, for example, the concept of picture tone is different between Log formats and HLG. The "Conversion Base" setting in the Primary Color Correction has implications based on the difference of the source material.
Wahl zwischen Anzeigelicht und Szenenlicht basierter Umwandlung in EDIUS Ein Beispiel für einen unkomplizierten HDR-Produktionsablauf weißespapier by Akira Takemoto, (GVB-1-0647A-DE-WP) File size: 2.9 MB, posted Dec 22 2017 Dynamic Range (HDR) Videos für Nachrichten und Feld-Produktion einzusetzen, bei denen die unmittelbare Verbreitung des Inhaltes erforderlich ist. Ein Beispiel dafür stellt das Konzept „Instant HDR" von Sony dar, und Kameras, welche im Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG)-Format aufnehmen können, werden auf den Markt gebracht. Wenn das Video direkt im HLG-Format aufgezeichnet wird, kann es, wenn es der Zeitfaktor erfordert, ohne jegliches Color Grading (CG) verbreitet werden.
Ist es dann eigentlich nicht möglich, Kameras die im Log-Format aufzeichnen, wie etwa in S-Log oder V-Log, in solchen Bereichen zu verwenden? Ein Log-Signal muss nach HLG oder Perceptual Quantization (PQ) umgewandelt werden, damit es auf Consumer-TVs angezeigt werden kann die Umwandlung selbst ist aber nicht schwer.
Abgesehen von Liveproduktionen, können wir HDR-Clips mit nur geringer Zeitverzögerung ausspielen nach einem schnellen Schnitt mit Cut & Paste, dem Hinzufügen von Titeln und der Formatumwandlung mit EDIUS.
Um das zu erreichen, müssen aber einige Punkte beachtet werden: zum Beispiel unterscheidet sich die Farbgebung zwischen Log-Formaten und HLG. Wegen der Unterschiede im Quellmaterial hat die gewählte Einstellung der „Umwandlungsbasis" (Engl. Conversion Base) in der Primären Farbkorrektur Auswirkungen auf das jeweilige Ergebnis.
The Benefits of HQX Whitepaper by Akira Takemoto, Digital Editing Solutions, (GVB-1-0027A-EN-WP) File size: 1.1 MB, posted Sep 26 2014 This paper discusses the Intermediate Codec solutions available from several vendors which are then compared in terms of picture quality, flexibility and suitability for use with graphics as well as video.
