1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,899
but Linus YouTube doesn't even support 12K video

2
00:00:04,380 --> 00:00:12,120
I know there's gonna be some of you out there thinking that exact thing so let's

3
00:00:09,059 --> 00:00:15,059
get this out of the way we know nobody

4
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:20,160
has a 12K display okay the real reason someone might want to shoot in 12K are

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:25,140
the same reasons that we switched to 8K back in 2017. capturing more detail in

6
00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:30,180
the first place helps immensely with post-production work and it gives the

7
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:35,219
editor more flexibility to reframe shots and of course the sharper The Source

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:39,120
footage the better the final output and of course there's one other important

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:45,180
reason we just love playing around with the latest high-tech gizmos and ah

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:48,840
speaking of which look at this a black

11
00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:52,079
magic Ursa mini pro 12K got it right

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:55,860
here oh yeah this puppy makes it super

13
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:59,460
easy to shoot 12K video and that is a

14
00:00:55,860 --> 00:01:02,280
huge deal I mean come on Linus that

15
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:12,299
sounds like what maybe 50 more than 8K right right wrong 12K is over double the

16
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,260
pixel count of 8K 80 million pixels per

17
00:01:12,299 --> 00:01:20,280
frame so get ready then for the sharpest LTT

18
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:23,580
videos you've ever seen right right

19
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,920
well okay shooting 12K might be pretty

20
00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:29,220
simple editing it on a mere mortal Workstation

21
00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:34,200
that's another story like my story about our sponsor origin

22
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:38,100
PC origin PC desktops can be customized with NVIDIA RTX 30 series graphics cards

23
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:41,400
and if you're in the market for a new PC power buying videos latest graphics

24
00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:45,920
cards and backed by a 24 7 support team you can check out origin PC at the link

25
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:45,920
below

26
00:01:52,340 --> 00:01:59,100
we realized that it was a pretty bold

27
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:00,899
choice to buy Six 12K cameras as soon as

28
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:06,060
they were released I know I know don't pre-order right but the thing is the

29
00:02:03,299 --> 00:02:10,500
Ursa mini pro 12K has a lot of other features aside from the resolution that

30
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:14,760
make it perfect for a new set that we're building for ShortCircuit and well

31
00:02:12,780 --> 00:02:20,160
given blackmagic's typical Supply constraints we felt that we either had

32
00:02:17,099 --> 00:02:21,599
to go all in or wait months to get

33
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,620
enough Hardware to finish up our build we knew that we were going to run into

34
00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:30,540
some roadblocks I mean to say our transition to RED cameras was smooth

35
00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:32,099
would be a bold-faced lie but actually

36
00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:36,540
compared to the truckload of early issues we experienced with red hardware

37
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:40,379
and software our early 12K workflow testing with the Blackmagic Ursa mini

38
00:02:38,220 --> 00:02:45,180
was significantly smoother that's partially because our current editing

39
00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:48,780
stations with ryzen 3960x threadripper

40
00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:52,019
processors 100 28 gigs of RAM and 8 gig

41
00:02:48,780 --> 00:02:54,360
RTX 2080 graphics cards seemed to be

42
00:02:52,019 --> 00:02:59,160
good enough to edit 12K video without any upgrades look at this Premiere

43
00:02:56,580 --> 00:03:03,239
timeline it's quick and responsive at 1 8 resolution which by the way is still

44
00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:08,280
pretty sharp at this size when you've got 80 megapixels per frame to start

45
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:12,360
with so it looks like we're good on the hardware side

46
00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:17,400
as it turns out the 12K early adopter tax is collected in software in our

47
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:21,360
initial tests with the Ursa mini 12K our Shooters quickly discovered a bug where

48
00:03:19,620 --> 00:03:25,440
the sensor wouldn't initialize after video playback unless you change the

49
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:29,940
settings I mean it's not a game breaker but it's definitely pretty annoying

50
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:34,560
however another YouTuber we talked to had a different issue involving their

51
00:03:31,980 --> 00:03:39,659
Ursa mini 12K where it would just start to record seemingly at random for what

52
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:44,459
is supposedly a professional tool that kind of unpredictability is

53
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,760
disconcerting to say the least and we're just getting started instead of

54
00:03:45,780 --> 00:03:53,040
recording in a well-supported industry standard format like h.265 or prores

55
00:03:50,420 --> 00:03:58,739
Blackmagic uses a proprietary codec called Blackmagic raw now the advantage

56
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,780
is that like other raw or compressed raw

57
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:05,519
formats it allows you to retain extra information without the unreasonable

58
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:11,879
storage requirements of true raw and change metadata like white balance and

59
00:04:08,220 --> 00:04:14,700
ISO in post after you've shot it that's

60
00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:19,799
great the disadvantage and this is where we hit our first major roadblock is that

61
00:04:16,979 --> 00:04:26,160
the Ursa mini pro 12K only supports shooting video in b-raw and well our

62
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:30,479
other applications didn't like that for instance kaino the program we use to

63
00:04:28,139 --> 00:04:33,900
ingest inspect and backup our footage doesn't currently support b-roth and

64
00:04:32,460 --> 00:04:38,820
they've been told to hold off on supporting it until Blackmagic software

65
00:04:35,820 --> 00:04:40,860
comes out of beta so we'll have to wait

66
00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:46,440
until that happens or completely change our ingest procedure also Adobe Premiere

67
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:50,460
our video editing program of choice is able to work with b-raw but there are

68
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:54,960
some Hefty software issues to work out which we'll get to in a minute the thing

69
00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:56,759
is b-raw is really meant to be used in

70
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,620
blackmagic's own editing software DaVinci Resolve and if you're after a

71
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:07,139
completely seamless synergistic experience that can be found using

72
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:10,259
resolve on a Mac on both our 5K iMac

73
00:05:07,139 --> 00:05:13,320
with 16 gigs of vram and our lowly Mac

74
00:05:10,259 --> 00:05:15,600
Mini with Intel Graphics 12K B raw

75
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:20,280
footage plays back just fine when you set the timeline to 4K even when we set

76
00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:24,660
the timeline to Native 12K resolve could still play back the footage although it

77
00:05:22,380 --> 00:05:28,440
was choppy enough to be unusable Blackmagic claims that the experience

78
00:05:26,580 --> 00:05:34,440
Works using a graphics card with as little as 4 gigs of vram though wow

79
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:38,820
unfortunately on Windows it's a different story resolve instantly stops

80
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:43,680
playback of 12K footage with a warning about insufficient video memory until

81
00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:50,160
you install a card with 12 gigs of RAM then because get this Blackmagic

82
00:05:46,020 --> 00:05:51,900
actually recommends 24 gigs of vram are

83
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:57,660
they in cahoots with NVIDIA to get us to buy RTX 3090s you can't even buy RTX

84
00:05:54,840 --> 00:06:01,919
3090s come on this is just cruel okay well then what about Premiere well

85
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:06,960
thanks to the latest beta version of blackmagic's b-raw plug-in you can

86
00:06:04,259 --> 00:06:11,639
import and edit 12K footage from the Ursa mini pro 12K and with GPU

87
00:06:09,419 --> 00:06:18,000
acceleration playback isn't perfectly smooth at full 12K but it is serviceable

88
00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:22,979
until the moment you want to apply any color correction using lumetri as soon

89
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:27,720
as you open up the panel you instantly lose Hardware acceleration causing about

90
00:06:25,139 --> 00:06:31,259
90 of your frames to be dropped even if you are running a threadripper and your

91
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:36,539
rendering times to absolutely fall off a cliff what here's where it gets crazy the

92
00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:41,100
quickest way to fix timeline performance in Premiere is to change your timeline

93
00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:44,819
from 12K down to 4K and then drop the preview window down to one quarter scale

94
00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:49,139
this does improve timeline responsiveness as we'd expect but it

95
00:06:47,220 --> 00:06:53,880
doesn't help at all with the color correction problem the solution to that

96
00:06:51,360 --> 00:07:00,180
was to follow blackmagic's resolve guidance and then install a 24 gig

97
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:03,120
graphics card but but premiere's usage

98
00:07:00,180 --> 00:07:07,680
of vram isn't even that high and the rabbit hole goes even deeper if we drop

99
00:07:05,220 --> 00:07:14,039
our recording resolution down to 12 288 by 5112 it works fine with just eight

100
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:20,160
gigs of vram so why would we need three times as much and get this even if we

101
00:07:16,979 --> 00:07:22,199
record at full res if we use lumetri on

102
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:28,319
an adjustment layer instead of on the clip itself it also works fine damn you

103
00:07:26,099 --> 00:07:33,539
software bugs the bottom line then is that for whatever reason Blackmagic just

104
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:38,460
cannot see seem to get their b-raw plugin to a stable place and it's been

105
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,300
an ongoing issue one version will work then the next one will introduce bugs

106
00:07:40,380 --> 00:07:47,400
before being fixed again a couple of months later in a new version as for the

107
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:52,319
current version well it's pretty broken for example copying and pasting raw

108
00:07:50,039 --> 00:07:56,220
settings from one clip to another is a guaranteed way to draw out a bug you

109
00:07:54,539 --> 00:08:00,479
might lose the ability to edit the raw settings or a clip might take on the

110
00:07:58,259 --> 00:08:04,500
settings of the clip preceding it or your program might just straight up

111
00:08:02,340 --> 00:08:08,160
crash some folks get around this by sticking to a version that works until

112
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:13,740
the rest of the community finishes beta testing for them but to edit the Ursa

113
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,660
mini 12ks footage Premiere requires the

114
00:08:13,740 --> 00:08:20,819
latest version of blackmagic's plugin which is the first to support 12kb raw

115
00:08:18,539 --> 00:08:24,720
files so unfortunately that's not an option for us which wouldn't be a

116
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:30,479
problem if the camera could at least record in prores or dnxhd like its

117
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:35,099
predecessors but it can't and whether it's for technical reasons or just

118
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:38,880
because they don't want to Blackmagic apparently has no plans to support other

119
00:08:37,260 --> 00:08:44,219
codecs that they were willing to tell us about so then with a camera that

120
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:49,680
requires the use of a janky plug-in to edit its footage what's an aspiring 12K

121
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:55,560
content created to do enter autochroma they're a company AKA two guys who have

122
00:08:53,339 --> 00:09:00,839
been developing their own bra enabling plug-in for Premiere called b-raw studio

123
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:06,180
for the last two years and shockingly even though it's a third-party plug-in

124
00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:07,920
made by two guys our experience is that

125
00:09:06,180 --> 00:09:12,660
it's more stable offers more functionality and has better support

126
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:15,839
because autochroma actually answers emails which is

127
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:20,339
they helped us iron out some initial wrinkles and it looks like with their

128
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:24,060
plugin editing b-raw in Premiere is stable enough for us to consider making

129
00:09:22,019 --> 00:09:29,399
it part of our workflow but wait a second I mean isn't that ridiculous why

130
00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:31,500
is it necessary to buy a 59 third-party

131
00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:36,120
plug-in to be able to actually edit footage from a brand new ten thousand

132
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:40,860
dollar camera we don't know maybe Blackmagic has Apple dreams you

133
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:44,519
know where you film on a Blackmagic camera using a Blackmagic codec then

134
00:09:42,839 --> 00:09:48,540
edit in a Blackmagic program using Blackmagic Hardware which is neat you

135
00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:51,959
know good for you Blackmagic but if you want my advice

136
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:56,940
make sure that your products work both in and out of your ecosystem because

137
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,360
think about it if I were to dip my toes in the water with a purchase like this

138
00:09:58,380 --> 00:10:04,980
only to find out that the experience totally sucks unless I give you even

139
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,459
more of my money to change out all of our other stuff and then maybe it'll be

140
00:10:07,140 --> 00:10:13,019
great that's not a great first impression is it so while blackmagic's

141
00:10:10,980 --> 00:10:18,720
Premiere plug-in is free the time and frustration that its instability cost us

142
00:10:14,940 --> 00:10:21,420
is worth much more than b-raw Studios 60

143
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:26,459
price tag so for now we're not going to be shooting

144
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,959
every video in 12K but with autochromas

145
00:10:26,459 --> 00:10:31,320
plugin and the adjustment layer workaround we can slowly bring it into

146
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:35,220
our workflow while we wait for Blackmagic to fix the bugs and also for

147
00:10:33,660 --> 00:10:38,760
graphics cards with enough vram to actually be in stock but you know what

148
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:43,800
maybe just forget it why don't we just all switch to Mac Brandon oh switch to

149
00:10:41,459 --> 00:10:46,980
