Quick test of the F55 on a cold, mostly overcast day. Shot 4K XAVC and edited and graded in FCPX

YouTube may let you play it in 4K!

Looks nice, thank you for sharing, (I like it better in youtube 1080 view)

Hi Steve. What gamma did you use? If you used log you'll almost certainly get a better grade using the log tools in Resolve. YouTube's 4K is so compressed that it often looks worse than the 1080p.

YouTube & Vimeo just do not cut-it to share results from the new F-series cameras.

Now that we have Sony's new "Content Browser" and Plug-ins for editing suites, is it possible to choose a 10-20 sec source clip(s) and make it/them downloadable? Short downloadable clips would be a useful way of sharing your test results. Cheers.

A twenty second 4K XAVC clip would be about 600MB. That's a lot of data to share.

The Youtube clip was nearly 3GB as a 4K ProRes Quicktime! took about 90 minutes on my fibre connection.

Alister, can't use Resolve very well yet as my MacPro's video card isn't up to it!
