Sandy Bridge - old but usable, even for 4K
That is correct for any newer Nvidia cards. Older Nvidia cards do work, but, must be Kepler based. I've read the max is the GTX 780TI with the GTX 680 (there were Mac versions) and GTX 670 (and more) also working. My 2012 15" MacBook Pro…

Sandy Bridge - old but usable, even for 4K
I'm still using my 2012 Ivy Bridge, 3770k, GTX1050TI 4 GB, Hackintosh for 4k Multicam editing w/out proxies. @VK I'm still on 10.12 Sierra and can go to 10.13 with this GPU.

GH5 froze during recording, resulting in unreadable mdt file
@LongJohnSilver Thanks for posting, yes this helped me. It does work as long as it's not a zero byte file, but for my Sony A6500 footage I am still working out a weird cadence issue in the image.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev or just save your installers from those links, if you think you'll need them in the future!

Some of it get re-sold, if not most of it. My French isn't very good to understand what they were saying in the video above. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTaYet07Ioo&t=59s

Yup, the direct download links for 2017 & earlier https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2017-direct-download-links.html all lead to Adobe and are dead. CS6's Encore (which I still have to use for some clients) is listed as discontinued: https…

From: https://ascmag.com/articles/flashback-apocalypse-now That is a 200 foot mag on the camera i.e: 2 minutes at 24fps. If they flew at all with Storaro hanging off the side it probably wasn't very long or very high (I hope!).

Z-CAM E1 Camera 100 Mbps hack for 4K DCI (fw v0.31)
Well, they made a lot of promises and released a camera with a lot of issues (sync sound being one of them). Then release a new product and only support the E1 when resources allow. They never officially out up FW 0.31 on the E1 support page and mak…

from: https://www.thomann.de/gb/marantz_pmd_706_reviews.htm?sid=98acc0824c44e88f3e7008da10e92ea3 It seems the MK1 may have undeniable hardware issues. Hopefully the mk2 solves them... See the review below

@storyboardcreativity I don't see any patches running UHD 3840x2160 at 23.976 fps... Would that be possible? That's what a lot of "4k at 24p" is really shot at. An example is those are the settings in the GH4, as long as you are …

@storyboardcreativity THANK YOU for your efforts, I look forward to testing the E1 again as I too was thinking to sell mine. Compared to my GH4 the footage looked bad, a lot of what @eatstoomuchjam said. I did a 5 camera project of a show in a theat…

@jonpais try a different browser... I've found on the Mac at least, that Firefox, Safari and chrome all have different color tints when looking at the same image. Maybe someone else knows why there is no color consistency across web browsers...?
