Sony FX3 X Atomos Ninja | ProRes RAW vs Internal 10-bit Recording | Side By Side Comparison

In part-two, I'm going to talk about the recording format available for the FX3. As I mentioned in the last video we are going to test and compare the XAVCS internal 10-bit 422 against the ProRes Raw 12-bit, enabled using the Atomos Ninja V. I will be sharing what ProRes Raw is and based on first hand experience how to unlock and enable the ProRes Raw format on the FX3, what are the pros and cons of working with this format, some real world comparison footage to compare outputs from both formats and finally, what's the real cost and whether it's worth the investment. Watch till the very end to find out.

This answered a ton of questions. Thanks for posting!

Keep in mind that when recording externally in RAW, the image does not pass through the camera's noise reduction and this is why the RAW image appears noisier. The benefit is that there is more control over noise reduction in post using RAW. SONY does not provide noise reduction settings for internal recordings on these cameras.

The auto-generated English captions are a hoot!

[allensiau]

Wow, it's so surprise we have such quality videos produced on Malaysia YouTube Channel
Keep it up, guys.
you guys are amazing!

[SebDrewett]

Great and detailed comparison, thank you for taking the time to share

[esmpmedia]

Thanks for the review. I just canceled my atomos order after your video. Too much hassle for little gain. Thank you!

[AKnightsPath]

Awesome video, waiting on my fx3 and have been debating on this. Thanks for your thoughts!!

16Bit LINEAR RAW = 12BIT LOGarithmic RAW.

Some cameras output 12bit Log or 16bit linear. In the case if FX3, it outputs 16bit linear which is converted to 12bit logarithmic.

People really need to understand what these terms mean

EDIT: I had no idea what i was talking about when I wrote this i lowkey feel embarrased 🤣

[stenbiller]

unfortunately resolve can't read prores RAW entirely because of a stupid corporate battle over who's RAW is better (that's my complete guess but I FEEL its what's happening lol). Why in the WORLD won't resolve open prores raw.... i don't wanna grade in anything else. For that reason... Ive decided to keep shooting the internal 10 bit and its plenty good enough.

[FabioPansera]

The 16-bit that Sony outputs is on a Linear Scale, which corresponds to the 12bit LOG that the ninja V takes. There are currently no cameras existing that go above 12bit LOG.

Excellent production quality and chill music bro🔥🔥

[jjaymefilms]

Thank you for the info. One of the best explanation.

[ultraman]

love em bro..just setup my rig for proresraw..really noticed that noise part when it comes to low light for proresraw compared to incamera recording..nway cheers..:3

[techreview]

One more great video. I like your explanation. Thank you

[rachelkarengreen]

Great video! You should have a lot more subscribers.

[timdanyo]

Prores RAW and working with Sony codecs is pretty good in FCPX.

[Costura]

El Atomos Ninja v puede grabar en 16 bits?

[RyanPutranto]

I kinda wish the comparison was between the intra format and ProRes RAW but helpful video nonetheless. I do think the Ninja is not a worthwhile investment personally for the A7Siii/FX3, and maybe a lower priority for most filmmakers after watching this video.

[VeganLinked]

I really like your videos. I'm just wondering if it's possible for you to update the closed captions so they are correct because sometimes it's hard to understand some of the things you're saying. Thanks for great content and hope you can do that

[shueibdahir]

7:16 you could've gotten a much cleaner image by lowering the shutter speed and keeping the iso at the lowest native ISO/Zero Gain so the signal captured by the sensor could be the highest.
