Mync has a unique video preview function that is second to none. The powerful video preview function provided is unlike that of any other software. This great feature of Mync is possible because Grass Valley also developed the EDIUS professional video editing software. In addition to the h.264 format that is used widely, including on the Internet and for smartphones, various formats used in professional workplaces are supported. With Mync, unified management is possible for diverse video materials, starting with XDCAM, P2, XAVC and XF-AVC, and including video files that ordinarily could not be checked without launching video editing software. Native data can be previewed without conversion.

Allows simple editing (with export to youtube and such even).

Basic version is completely free.

App fetures:

• Fullscreen camera liveview. Tested with GH3 and GH4 but should work with any Lumix camers.
• Photo capture and video recording start/stop.
• Changing basic parameters like ISO, Aperture, and Shutter. Changes on camera get reflected to app, as current mode auto parameters.
• Multiple cameras can be connected at once, for now need switching to see and control, but I plan split-screen and separate windows. You can connect cameras to common WiFi access point.

I wish to test it with Hololens. Should be cool watching liveview in any position.

My dog and I thought it was a good idea to have a common space where to share knowledge, experience, some open air dump and x264 (don't be afraid not toxic) presets

• After Squeeze much I tried, quite nice multicompressor, but I've been unable to export any thing I like. Indu voice, very expensive also

• After AME crappy using x264 display same panels as QT but doesn't allow any nitrate change in audio AAC

• After IFFmpeg can't make it work with fmy fmpeg library :-( , using in avi <--> mov round·trip

• After ffmpegx free, interface is tiny and they stopped developing it but what's important is to have libraries updated. that said it has limited acces to x264 options. it has also some nice (last minute) features like demux and multiplex, really useful

• After Quicktime which is at least as obedient as my dog: direct x.264 export, wider range of x264's settings (panels) options and can store 2 presets which is useful too

• After Mpegstreamclip free but has 2 annoying things: audio is limited to 256Kbits (not sooo dramatically disastrous) and only uses 1 core, so it's much slower… maybe I miss configured... other than that is a nice sorted out mothercompresar

• After whatnot

I decided to settle with my trusty old handbrake.
I have not created any presets myself, just slightly tweaked/mix one or two, my knowledge is very close to my dog's =0. Also I am not interested or going to show any comparisons whatsoever, allrigch?!!

Pretty much retrospective's preset but instead of "constant quality" a maxrate is set to 15000, instead of "variable framerate" now is constant and instead of 1 pass now there are 2, being the first turbo-kit. This one works out nicely with grain, which was my main concern

It is not only free, but it gives all discounts for upgrade to any new version as if you purchased it :-)

Upgrade to latest version is $41

I made an android app which allows to control a lumix camera remotely. It is based on the amazing work of @lenuisible It aims at extending the possibilities of what your camera can do. At this point, it allows some really really basic control, and motion detection.

It is still at an early development stage, and I can only test it on the FZ1000.

HACKING AND/OR INSTALLING

The app is free and opensource.
You can find the code here: https://github.com/mbmb5/Eylca

It is currently in fdroid repositories, and you can install it from there.
You can find an apk here: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=Eylca&fdid=mbmb5.lumixextendedcontrolapp

USING THE APP

Please disable burst mode on your camera. It is not handled yet. Start the wifi on your camera, connect your phone to the wifi of the camera, and launch the app.

Basic control

The app allows to see what the camera sees, and to control the camera manually to some extend. Right now, we can only take pictures, videos, zoom in and out and focus in and out. The controls for zooming and focusing don't support long click yet, but it will get better soon.

Motion detection

The main purpose of the app is to do things that you can't do with only your camera, or with Panasonic app.

At this point, the main feature is to shoot or record a video when a motion is detected in what the camera sees. You can control this detection with 2 parameters: a threshold, and a parameter to tell the size of the object which may appear in the camera stream. These 2 parameters can be changed on the fly. I recommend that you start motion detection in "do nothing" mode, when you want to set the parameters without taking multiple useless photos. Please note that motion detection has to be restarted if you change between "do nothing", "continuously shoot" or "record video".

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you don't see what the camera sees in basic control mode, check the camera ip in the settings of the app, and change it if necessary. You may also need to disable mobile data.

FUTURE

In the futur, I'd like to add focus bracketing, and scripting. If you have any idea which could extend the camera's features using remote control, please don't hesitate to share ! Also don't hesitate to give feedback.

A colleague and I (postdocs in academia) made a hobby plugin project for Adobe AE and Premiere, which retargets footage to any format. It makes it easy to use 4:3 in a 16:9 production, or intercut 16:9 in anamorphic production. It is easy to use as is, while also allowing a few neat tricks :-)

The plugin is free without any strings attached, and was presented at SIGGRAPH ASIA 2017.

Downloadable from (put plugin in your common plugin folder):

Is it Windows 10? Because going by bechmarks, my Windows 7 desktop with FX3850 is not much faster en slower on single treaded operations, but playing back GH4 footage is a piece of cake.

Anyone got some insight?

I ran into a problem where I didn't correctly transfer all the files off my SD card before formatting/reusing it. It is nothing critical, but I've been trying to recover the files using "photorec" on the Mac. I recovered most of the .jpg and .rw2 files, but I'm having trouble with the video files.

Photorec has recovered a bunch of .mp4 and .mov files, however I cannot play them back with Quicktime, MPEGstreamclip, nor VLC. I'm assuming that the .mov files are the actual video media as they are larger files, and the smaller .mp4 files are just the container or pointer to the video.

• V-Log video material, applying the inverse transformation on the fly, as well as tone-mapping and color-space conversion.
  This allows you to review video clips as recorded e.g. by a GH4R directly, without having to go through a lengthy "video editor software import / rendering cycle".
  For example, to replay this sample V-Log video file posted by a forum member earlier, you could use an mpv command line like this:

  mpv --vf=format=gamma=v-log:colorlevels=full:primaries=v-gamut -vo opengl-hq:hdr-tone-mapping=clip SHOGUN_S001_S001_T008b.mov

... to obtain a video display like this:

• HDR (SMPTE-ST-2084) video, as used (along with BT.2020) on UHD BluRay discs and generated by the latest PC and game console GPUs (see here for sample files).
  As with V-Log, both the electro-optical transfer function and colorspace conversions are done on the fly, and tone-mapping helps to display the content well also on non-HDR-capable displays. Unlike V-Log, which is not detectable automatically whether being used in a video file, HDR content is detected automatically by mpv, and reasonable default parameters chosen for the transformation.

Please notice that both HDR and V-Log display transformation support are implemented in the OpenGL video output module of mpv, which is the default to use on Linux/Windows/Mac. If you use another video output module, these on-the-fly transformation features are not available.

See here for mpv binaries for different platforms.

Lesspain software's developing this tool for screening, logging, organising and transcoding footage called Kyno. Right now is in beta stage BUT, as you can see from below grab, it's a 3 months' worth beta; maybe 6 without updates - See comments below. You can work offline, just provide an email at their homepage, DL the beta and they send the license to you - https://lesspain.software/kyno/

 
If it's the case that you find useful to browse, review, mark, tag, rewrap, comment, etc. your footage either before dropping it to the NLE or just for cataloging purposes, you would most likely enjoy the experience of using Kyno {ice cream ice cream}.

 
Direct OSX download link - https://cdn.lesspain.software/dist/Kyno-beta.zip

 
I barely test drove it, anyhow this is what I liked:

• Folder/drive/card browse without importing
• Extremely responsive and fast (tested with proRES and patched AVCHD material)
• UI's to the point, practical with
• resizable tabs and easy access to main functions
• direct scroll magnification and mouse drag // despite other than "fit" viewer is suppose to go under 100%, that's not working but it is up to 800% (!!)
• Logs' direct FC 7 (!!) and FC X export links and Premiere send function with several sub commands options (also subclips) --- that TC below's not from Kyno!!
  
• Rewrap, convert with plenty vid and/or audio options (no DNxHD though)
• Content thumbs' divider provides an useful visual cue for long takes
• Ratings, metadata input and track info is perfectly simple "enough"
• Subclips show in and out posterframes, again useful visual cue
• Shortcuts to main functions
• Clear zebras (under/over exposed)
• Loop, cue points and variable speed playback
• Widescreen mask ( though fixed 2.35:1 ratio)
• Filter search

There are bugs and inconsistencies (e.g. the below 100% zoom or fullscreen viewer strange behaviour), there's missing important features like LUT preview, TC burn, edit shortcuts menu, etc. But it is a powerful and IMO useful tool to have.

Yes after the beta it'll be paid, but worst case scenario you'll have a free video DAM for 3 months; maybe 6 without updates - see comments below =)

Small research show that core part of developers came from early Xara team :-) hence so big similarity.

https://affinity.serif.com/

Anthropics Technology today announced the launch of LandscapePro, the industry’s first intelligent landscape photo editing software, available in standalone and Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Elements plug-in editions. The new software radically simplifies and speeds up outdoor and nature photo retouching. It includes landscape relighting, sky replacement, 3D depth estimation, a depth of field simulator, distance controls, intelligent selection tools, and photo-adaptive controls among other powerful features. With one-click presets and targeted editing available, users can create beautiful landscapes in seconds.

LandscapePro is a new way to enhance pictures that rises to the challenges and nuances of landscape photography. It assumes no prior knowledge or technical skills, and photographers can create unique, dramatic effects quickly. The new product comes from the makers of the award-winning retouching software PortraitPro and PortraitPro Studio with a plug-in mode for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Apple Aperture.

“Inspired by the success of Anthropics’s PortraitPro software, we are delighted to introduce a new product to help photographers expand their creativity and take landscape retouching to the next level,” said Andrew Berend, CEO, Anthropics. “LandscapePro offers an innovative and easy way to create stunning landscape photography, and can be used by novices or experienced photographers alike. As its intelligent controls uniquely adapt to the features of each photo, it enables photographers to do incredible things with their outdoor photos simply by using sliders.”

Landscape relighting. Lighting adjustment to fit any creative goals: change light source, temperature, time of day, or go from dawn to sunset. Note how the side lighting brings out the texture on the ground.

Instant sky replacement with presets. The unique sky controls enable photographers to replace sky, change clouds, or cast cloud shadows. Note how the change in sky has automatically relit the ground.

Cloud and atmosphere adjustment. Tools to manipulate skies by separately adjusting the clouds and the atmosphere behind them.

3D depth estimation. A unique, easy-to-use depth of field simulator respects 3D objects in the scene. As easy as using a single slider.

Distance controls. Change colors in the image depending on the distance to the camera - make distant objects bluer, highlight the middle distance, or add fog.

Landscape-specific tools for dealing with common issues such as selecting small patches of sky behind trees.

Color adjustment tools targeted at common objects in landscapes, e.g. tools to make grass look lush, change the color of the sea, or to make sand golden.
