#SCALING A SHOT IN AVID MEDIA COMPOSER 8 FULL#
I've set my SxS recording to ProRes 422 HQ HD P this will scale down the full 6K image to regular old HD (great for editorial). Notice I've set my imager mode to 6K 17:9 this is what I'm going to record in my AXS Record Format (on the R7). To set this up, go to the Project Menu on the side panel (Menu>Project). This is my preferred setup for working with the VENICE when recording in RAW or X-OCN, because it gives lots of flexibility in post.
In this example, I set up the camera to record a 6K 17:9 image to AXS cards, while also recording a ProRes 422 HD proxy on SxS. I also lay out support for the format in AVID, Premiere, FCP, and Resolve.įirst things first, the VENICE has many recording options, so we need to dial in exactly what we want. In this blog, I give a quick guide to working with the VENICE in the X-OCN format. You can read more about firmware version 3.0 in Geoff's blog. All offer impressive quality at reasonable data rates. The abbreviations are pretty clear here: XT is the highest quality LT is your 'lite' version, and ST is the standard quality. This gives you three flavors of X-OCN: XT, ST, and LT. In the latest firmware for the VENICE, version 3.0, there is a new, even higher quality flavor of X-OCN called XT. The AXS-R7 works on the VENICE, and X-OCN allows the camera to record in higher resolutions, up to 6K. This format has all the benefits of the 16-bit RAW format but in a smaller package. The VENICE builds on this even more and does a great job of keeping things simple.Ī few years ago, Sony released a second-generation external recorder for the F55, the AXS-R7, which enabled recording in RAW as well as a new format called X-OCN ( eXtended tonal range Original Camera Negative). Sony has been improving their workflows for years, and after many iterations, they really nailed it down in the F55. The VENICE produces great looking images, as it should, and it also offers a very good post workflow. The Sony VENICE has been out for a while now and has quickly become a popular camera for feature films, television series, and a wide range of other applications.
