hey guys what is going on welcome back to the channel today is obviously as you can see behind
me a very good day i'm shooting with one of my favorite cameras one of my favorite cars and today
we are going to be shooting with the canon r5 now to be honest with you i bought this camera a year
ago and i have never once used 8k raw and since then they have given us access to 8k raw light
4k light uh ipb all i all these kind of different file formats that i've never
really taken advantage of so in this video i'm gonna be shooting an 8k raw with this beautiful
porsche gt4 in miami blue and then guys we can review the footage see how the apple m1 chip
actually handles ak raw and how it looks in post if it's even worth shooting with that codec and
if it's not worth shooting in that codec why would you get the r5 let's just take a quick peek around
the car i don't know if you guys remember it was a while ago we shot with the sony a73
testing the sigma 35 mil lens with this car and that's the same lens that we're going to
be shooting on today so we've got the canon r5 with the 35 mil the sigma we've got the nessie
polarizer filter on the front and we've got a built-in nd filter slider there so that's
kind of how we're going to be filming it we're going to shoot in 8k uh 24 frames per second so
i'm just doing very short clips because the file size is shooting in 8k raw are absolutely massive
now for those of you who are wondering i am shooting with canon c-log 3 which is added
in one of their most recent updates and their native iso is 800 so we've got our iso set and
steady at 800 and then we're using the nd filter to create exposure my aperture is sitting around
2.8 guys we're doing a startup on a porsche gt4 with a klein exhaust i guess these are the same
similar guys that do like formula one type stuff so give this a listen all right give her the beans
that's what it's about boys that's what it's about we're going to a new spot let's go
we are on the final stretch home we got some footage with the canon r5
in raw 8k so we're gonna bring that back to the computer i want to see how long it takes
to upload how quick the apple m1 can navigate the footage so come with me if you guys are
interested back to the office and we'll see how the footage looks and holds up on the computer
welcome back to the office guys now one of the big questions that i had is with the canon r5 and
8k raw footage can the apple m1 not the m1 pro or pro max because we know those can handle 8k
raw but can the typical m1 handle the ak raw footage so what we're going to do here is we're
going to import the footage now what you can see here is that one file is 9.17 gigabytes but what
we're going to do here is we're going to set a stopwatch to see how long it takes the m1 to
import these files here and then from there the big question is how well can m1 handle scrubbing
through the footage working with the footage and you know what i think i'm actually going to drop
some of these r5 clips into a dropbox so if you guys are interested in fiddling with it seeing if
it works with your system i'll drop that down below into a dropbox so you guys can see how
your computer can manage the files alright so we've got seven clips i'm gonna import
them and hit start at the same time and we'll see how long it takes to go
okay so this is clearly gonna take a little bit longer than i thought it's at four percent
and we're already at a minute now one thing that i will note is that you need to be very intentional
with what hard drives you are using um i use the samsung portable ssd the t5s essentially whatever
you're importing to is going to be this stoppage in how fast your footage can import so if you're
importing directly onto your desktop or something that's awesome but i tend to use the ssd drive so
you definitely have to be thinking about the read and write speeds of each device in your chain
whether it's your computer or your hard drives or your card readers well we are 20 of the way there
and it has taken us five minutes so we're just gonna do a little bit of math here and assume that
if we're at 20 at five minutes it's gonna take 25 minutes to import but let me show you how well the
m1 chip handles the 8k raw footage all right so up here we've got some of our clips and as you can
see this clip here as we drop it down this clip is a total of 23 seconds and if we reveal that in
our finder we will find out that that clip the crm clip is 7.58 gigs that's crazy that for me is not
worth shooting an 8k because when you come down here i was shooting some stuff for some reals and
this footage looks phenomenal to me just in 4k ipb so for me that i don't know it's not as convincing
to go to the ak if you ask me um i don't know what use cases specifically you need to shoot 8k
uh i'll leave that up to you but as you come down here you can see that the scrubbing speed on the
timeline is very good i actually have no gripes with that if you look up top here we're on better
quality we're using our optimized media and let's see how well it plays back if we lose any frames
tiny bit choppy oh yeah there we go
so now it's chopping up a bit you can see it has not rendered all the way
okay so we do lose frames with 8k footage now let's just go up to the top here
we will go to better performance and see if that changes anything again this
clip hasn't rendered all the way
now we're into the unrendered section and we have no
tap to focus there we go canon r5 is a beauty in that way
there we go no dropped clips so all you have to do is just
hit better performance and we're running 8k clips let's see if we stack something
so a few drop clips there with two 8k stacked now the canon r5 does give you heaps of options for
recording like i said earlier it gives you 8k raw ak raw light you can shoot in 4k all eye codecs
as well as ipb codecs so you get a lot of customization with what you want to shoot on
the r5 i did have to upgrade my computers to the m1 chip to make sure that i was getting a nice
flow in editing the previous computers that i was working with which were pretty well stacked imacs
could not actually handle this footage without creating proxies so as you get into the canon
ecosystem whether it is the r5 or the r6 do be aware that if you're shooting with the ipb codecs
or 8k raw for example that you may be needing to get into something like the m1 chips the m1 pros
the m1 max and i will be looking at getting one of the m1 pro laptops shortly as soon as they're
not out of stock and i would love to do some more testing with footage in that regard but i have a
feeling based on everything that's out there on youtube that it's going to be mind-blowing
and phenomenal and really great for videographers and photographers like us now i want to be clear
this is not a dig at all on canon and the r5 or the r6 ecosystem because i love them i love the
footage that i'm getting out of here the ability to manipulate and color grade this footage is
it's incredible it's really really good i guess all i'm trying to do here is educate you guys
as you try and make decisions on camera gear because five grand to drop on one camera is
so much money and if it were me when i was doing that research it'd be great to have
all the information getting into it so i do hope that you guys have found this
educational helpful entertaining a little bit and if you did feel free to smash that like button
for me it helps the channel a ton feel free to subscribe if you're into photography cars
videography that kind of thing that's what we enjoyed doing here and i'd love it if you stuck
around and watched another video but otherwise i do hope to see you in the next one peace
