@@THEDPJOURNEY dude go for it. your video is so underrated it’s crazy. i hate putting my sweat at tears into a decent quality video and then getting 50 views 🥲
This video deserves to pay for. it's an advanced break-down video with professional graphic explanation. I can see clearly the huge amount of effort you put in this video. Thanks a lot man
@@THEDPJOURNEY when i first opened the video, i saw it was EXACTLY 20 minutes and just thought "woah thats cool, must just be coincidental", and now i realize that it was all intentional all along!
This was an absolute masterclass! The denoise performance and generation loss resistance are HUGE reasons to shoot pro-ress despite having to bring an SSD! The prores noise is actually super organic looking and almost aesthetically pleasing, especially when compared to the h.265 noise.
Totally agree, ProRes is by far more superior, and honestly, external media now has gotten way cheaper than before, and let’s face it, we are filmmakers and we are used to rigging our cameras
This might be the best video I've come across on TH-cam for this topic. The right level of detail, articulate VoiceOver, helpful visuals, resulting in outstanding content. Thank you!

OMG, this is why I LOVE TH-cam. Once in a while the algorithm suggests me a gem like this video. Quality graphics, technically deep, clear an concise explanation... Just thank you!
That’s the same reason why I love TH-cam, I find such awesome comments that always make my day, thank you so much for watching and I’m really glad I can help

It took me a while to realize that the image quality tests were using actual videos and not just a photo because of how insanely still it was. perfect comparisons. And you explained that codec meant encode decode which i didn't know. this is just really awesome dude.
Wow 😳 as a professional photographer im super surprised how good this is. I will pay to be able have that kind of explanation for any problem I’m trying to understand. Thank you very much for this was superb

This video single-handedly answered all my questions and solved my dilemma. I've decided I'm settling on recording with ProRes 422 LT (on my iPhone 15 Pro) for balance between file size and image quality.
Your way of speaking is impressive! I usually don't like fast, rather "monotone" and very condensed speech in any video, let alone where i get something explained. With the way you speak however, it is the reason why it's so easy and effortless to follow everything. Bravo!
Thank you so much for such compliment. (I guess that was a compliment, right? lol) The funny thing is that I sound different in real life. I mean when I’m talking more casually. I don’t know why once I get in front of the camera or talk about technical topics, my tone of voice flips and become 100X more serious. Glad it gets the message across. Thanks again
This is absolutely fascinating! I look for this level of scrutiny for so many things I want to learn about, but almost always to no avail. Thank you for this masterclass! And I can't begin to grasp the amount of hours that went into capturing, cataloguing and editing all this footage. Incredible work, bravo!
Immensely helpful, beautifully explained. I shoot simple 3-min music performance clips with an iPhone 15 Pro in ProRes LOG 4k/60. The ProRes workflow is smooth and simple, and the performers look wonderful. Edit in ProRes, export, then delete the big ProRes files. Thanks to what I learned here, I reckon I should export in H.264 instead of H.265 for TH-cam.
As someone who shoots daily on my iPhone 15 Pro, this is the best breakdown of codec I could ask for. It's clear, detailed, and while trying to save storage place, made me understand what's the pros of shooting ProRes, thanks!
This is the craziest video that could have been made on this topic. What amazing analysis! You presented all the facts amazingly through which one can make an informed choice.
I don’t have any knowledge in video editing or photography. I wanted to look the difference between ProRes and H.265 for my everyday pictures and videos. This was so clear and easy to understand that ProRes is excellent; however, as a normal user, H.265 will be the best option for me
This is the best video I’ve seen that explains everything in detail while keeping it simple. I’ve been struggling for the past two months to understand the difference between them, but now I understand everything clearly! Thank you so much ❤❤❤
I do not comment a lot, but I feel that I should comment on this well structured and well made video. It is easily the best explanation and comparison videos of CODEC focusing on HEVC and ProRes I have watched. It is on point and precise, and easy to understand and digest. The comparison of image quality really relies heavily on the same angle and composition of the frame, and the video producer made a big effort to make sure the same object under the same lighting are compared side by side. The smudges and noise, and denoising cannot be explained more simply. I learned so much from this video. It is the first time I came across "The DP Journey" channel, and I instantly subscribed. Thank you for this amazingly informative video, Sherif.
Wow!!! Thank you so much for such amazing and supportive comment. I feel humbled by your words. And I’m really glad I managed to compel you to comment 😀 Most of all, I’m really glad my explanation simplified such a complex topic for everyone to understand Thanks again for watching and welcome aboard
Thankful to find this video. Another TH-camr insisted on H.265 and sold me on the small size but when it came to editing I couldn't figure out why my M2 MacBook was struggling with it. Now I know why. Thank you for educating me. I think I'll stick with ProRes LT.
Wow, the nerding out section was 🔥!!! I appreciate your effort of digging in to all that and providing visual examples. Keep up the great work! More importantly, keep being a camera nerd!!! 😁👍
Wow. As a beginner, this video was AMAZING-it was informative, concise yet detailed (almost like 422 codec dare I say), with clear explanations and insightful examples. Thank you very much!
WOW! That made things so easy to understand I love that you presented us a system that considers all aspects of the process to help make decisions! I feel like I learn so much from this video and the decisions actually make sense to me now seeing the footage. Sometimes I struggle with seeing the difference in the footage in comparison videos as I'm still training my eyes and this one really helped with that in addition to the topic at hand
What a wonderful video! You nailed it. Very clear, logical, correct and well-paced. I have been shooting in 422 LT but will definitely choose 422 for the critical stuff. Editing in FCP on Apple Silicon is such a pleasure. Great job!
Thank you soooo much for such awesome comment. Happy to offer my videos for free for kind people like yourself. All I would ask is to share it please and spread the word. Welcome aboard and thanks again
Men, as you know, your videos are really satisfying, and easy to learn, I never miss a second of your videos🔥🙏🏼. one question☝🏼 Do you agree with my view that it wouldn't be a huge challenge for Apple to bring ProRes Log to the iPhone 14 Pro?
@@snak4716 Because when I compared regular ProRes 422HQ to ProRes 422HQ log, they almost have the same file size. So, it seems Apple might not need beefed-up hardware in the iPhone 14 Pro for shooting ProRes log, And also, i think it’s possible because Regular ProRes 422 HQ is compressed with effects during recording. But log means, uncompressed. So, i think shooting ProRes log might need even less power!😅
@@balarol no it's not that. there isn't any beefed up hardware in regards to size, that's just the hard drive speed you're talking about. it's about missing hardware in the 14. the 15 has a dedicated piece of hardware that is responsible for encoding log, which turns on only when you select log shooting. by default in the standard profile, the 15 uses the same 14 video encoding hardware. there are 2 different pieces of hardware on the 15, one responsible for the standard profile, tone mapping, hdr, etc, and the other is dedicated for the log image processing, which the 14 is missing
Jesus bro, I can't imagine the effort you put into this for the INSANE quality. I don't even wanna watch other videos after watching yous. you have spoiled us lol
@THEDPJOURNEY, Excellent video. It was the video that made me discover this channel, and with that, it gained another subscriber. As a beginner of filming with iPhone/ProRes/SSD/Rig/Lenses, I ask a question: Is there any chance of editing ProRes videos with DaVinci Resolve on Windows?
@@THEDPJOURNEY Hi, thank you for your quick reply. Well, in my case its a bit weird because, I filmed with my iPhone 15 Pro Max to a Sandisk Extreme SSD, all seems fine so far since I can play it inside "BlackMagic Cam" app Media tab, without any issues, and in "Files" internal app as well. But, If connect the SSD to my PC (a good usb-c cable, USB-C 4.0 rated cable) with VLC, the video's playback simply show a couple of random frames, and even sometimes, are shown with green bars across the video or other kind of artifacts (like codec-related issues). I did a little capture of one of the playbacks, that can be seen on my channel's public videos. There, you can even see the thumbnails of the other videos are messed up. The SSD is brand new. I have no issues at all if playing directly from SSD connected to iPhone. I'm using a Windows 10 Pro, without any kind of issues, GPU is a RTX 4080 Super, CPU Ryzen 5 2nd Gen I've no hint at this time. I was thinking about to get an mini Mac M2 Pro for editing, but with a pretty nice PC with a 39inch Oled Display, I would like to save that money If i have a chance to do it on the PC. Thank you for any advise.
I think it's time for ProRes to have a successor. MPEG-2TS, MP4/H264, and HEVC/H.265 have all come out within ProRes' lifespan. Especially when compared to Blackmagic Raw and even ProRes Raw, it feels oversized for its quality. Maybe smaller versions of ProRes Raw could replace ProRes for capture? I'm interested to see what comes in the future. I do prefer it to DNxHR (since all flavors are 10-bit 4:2:2), but it still feels like it's in need of an update. I find myself preferring to shoot 6K BRAW Q3 as it's smaller than 4K ProRes 422HQ.
I’m so glad I watched your video. I originally assumed that h265 would only be affecting shots where there is a lot more movement for the compression to handle and no finer detail in more static shots would be affected. I was happy with the image for the iPhone 15 pro max but still thought it was plain to see it was shot with a mobile phone. On the last shoot after watching your video I used ProRes 422 and tbh the difference is plain to see. The image is much more organic. It looks close to a modern camera and a lot less digital and processed. Thanks for taking your time to create this detailed video.
Yeah H265 is a sort of temporal type of compression, so static areas will be affected more. But also moving areas with solids in their motion blur. Really happy the video helped Thanks for watching
@@THEDPJOURNEY it sure did. I think had the balckmagic allow for w bit more than 50 mbps in h265 it might look a bit better. For my use recording ProRes 422 internally is good enough.
my goooodnesss thank you! now i dont have to argue with those "bUt mY pHoNe caN 8k aNd 200mpx" people anymore. ill just send this video in their face haha.
Lol kid 😂u don't have to argue tho because those 8k n 200mp win easily any day I can send u the clips taken from my both phones samsung is years head in tech
Thank you for such an in-depth video, some bits were too technical for me be your way of explaining helped me a lot to understand some of it at least... loved the comparison style too...
Wow, this is one of the best technical YT videos I've ever seen. Your explanations are crystal clear and so simple to understand. Thank you for marvellous work. 😀
I think you were slightly wrong there, the 10bit HEVC captured by Iphone 15 Pro is in 4:2:0 not 4:2:2 chroma subsampling. Only ProRes encoders support 4:2:2 All Intra 10bit encoding. One more bad thing about current ProRes tuning by apple is that they give no option to turn off noise reduction completely and also no option to disable baked in lens vignette correction. Turning these both off will make us use the entire range of data and making those extra bitrates worth more as currently we are still getting a soft image even with such big file sizes. I would love to do everything in post if they just give pure log ProRes 422 HQ. Hoping they fix this by Iphone 18Pro as apple is usually slow in fixing niche stuffs😅
Also one more thing you got wrong was that Lossless Compressed RGB RAW data is not much bigger than lossy compressed YUV data, so if you compare apples to apples then a 12bit lossless Cinema DNG uncompressed footage won't be bigger but almost equal to 4444XQ 12bit ProRes footage. The file size comparison graph you showed for uncompressed footage was for a 16bit RAW stream. 16bit>>>10bit file size in any codec so not the right way to compare. Rather compare it to a 10bit lossless RGB RAW footage which will show that 10bit 444 ProRes HQ and 10bit lossless RAW are very similar in size, even ProRes in some cases sizes more than lossless RAW.
I’m 100% hevc is 10bit. Check it yourself in the info tab or any 3rd party app like media info And yes I wish they gave us more control over prores. Maybe in iPhone 16
As a producer and editor, I feel like I become the "Resolution Nazi" with my clients - and often wonder if it's overkill when the clients don't really notice or care about maintaining image integrity. Your video restores my confidence that we should maintain professional protocols to create the most pristine imagery possible. Thank you for the well-informed pep talk!
Really happy you liked it. Clients would never understand this of course. Many times I go against their will and just shoot in the best format for the job and then just export it to whatever they want
This is the closest to perfection a video about video editing can get! It would be great if you could compare the footage of the16 Pro with the 15 Pro to see if there's any difference or improvements. You got yourself a new subscriber!
Wow. The educational value of this video is off the charts. Thank you so much for such a clear, thorough explanation of something that had been so confusing before. That combined with the side-by-side examples and the educational graphics, what a service! Thanks again!
I've watched youtube videos for more than 10years now and this one has been, no joke, one of the most helpful videos I've watched! It is such a good video for people getting into video shooting. I'm glad you have chosen to upload this to the internet free of cost so everyone can have access to it, you have definitely earned my sub ! lol. I have one question though, the conclusion caught me off guard because how can you record in H.265 and then just change the codec of an already filmed video to 422? What is the method to do that? I thought once you shoot a video it will have that codec until you export it to another one. Should you then, record all footage in H.265, export that raw footage to 422 and then start the editing process? Why wouldn't you just record it straight in Proress 422 instead of doing that? It would mean a lot to me if you answered my questions. :)
First of all, thank you so much for the kind words and compliments about this video. Really happy hits to that from everything you've been watching before. As for your question, the main reason why I recommended to convert the H265 into 4 to 2 is to prevent any further deterioration of the video file as you are editing it or exporting it multiple times. But if you're only using it once for a quick project, then you don't really need to if your computer is fast enough to process the H265. You can use Apple compressor to do this conversion if you want, or just left your editing software to create proxies, which could be an easier way if you want just for editing speed.
It's all been said better than I can, cracking tutorial that I'm gonna recommend my students watch, even just for an understanding of how to evaluate quality and file size for compression/codec choice.
Excellent video man. Internal ProRes at 8K to the CFX card is the reason why chose the Fuji XH2. No external SSD's or wires required! Keep up the good work.
Outstanding tutorial, you even made the section you warned would be technical very easy to follow. I wish you made videos for every one of my filmmaking questions :D
Thank you so much for the compliment, glad you found it easy to grasp. Please go ahead and ask questions here, I’m curious what do you need clarification for?
What an excellent explainer! The demonstrations regarding denoise performance and generation loss were exceptional - you made the difference super clear. A big thanks for running through the different ProRes versions as well; I was having a hard time nailing down the exact level of diminishing returns I'd be comfortable with, but being able to see them cycled through was very enlightening. Thanks you!
Hats off to you!! I recently bought the iphone 15 pro max, along with Brandon Li's co-design small rig. I've been strongly researching and studying various videos regarding videography and photography, in addition to all the components that go with them, (colour grading, camera functions and set-up, shooting techniques etc...) as I'm very new to content creation. I personally found this video to be highly educational/informative! There is so much I HAVE and WANT to learn... so please keep making content like this to help guide new content creators such as myself, as you are an outstanding educator and will make a strong impact. You're awesome!
Thank you, this was very educational for me as a novice user of the iphone to record precious memories. I always worry about future proofing my footage for my family and this helped a lot!
Excellent Video. I would love to see a follow up video about deciding which codecs, audio settings, exposure/white balance/tint settings when shooting Blackmagic Cam on iPhone 15 pro max!
Absolutely stunning and brilliant, I've always wondered why I got such blocky areas shooting w my Fujifilm XH1 that I didn't get with my Blackmagic cameras. This sums it up perfectly...
Excellent production. It's astounding how good the H.265 files are. I found that after export and compression of whatever platform it was being viewed on that the difference was negligible & don't bother with ProRes now. It's visible at 400% on my 32" 4K screen, but most of what I make with the phone is going to be being viewed at phone size, at 1080 & being streamed. The simplicity of being able to AirDrop large amounts of footage wirelessly as opposed to dealing with storage media and huge files to archive is the main reason for me. It reduces so much friction to be able to just make things instead of deal with the headache of managing more media. And if the minute quality difference to ProRes will matter for the project, I definitely shouldn't be shooting it on my phone lol
H265 codec takes advantage of compressing darker areas of the image. Exposing to the right is helpful for both Log encoding and H265 codec to perform better. ProRes is overkill for the detail level an iPhone can capture but may be useful when it comes to sharper lens and sensor on a cinema camera.
@@THEDPJOURNEY I found Apple log is easier to be blown out at highlight than mirrorless cameras though. That’s definitely something that needs more skill and experience to get right.
Wow what a fantastic breakdown. Can't begin to imagine how long that took you to put together but it was brilliant. Thank you. Now I'm off to look at your other videos................
WOW! Thank you so much. I have just been to school. You just answered all my questions on formats. I have a TH-cam channel and have been experimenting with formats. I am settled on 422HQ for my BlackMagic app. Then I use my IPhone camera app on 265 for other things like my talking head videos where I don't need that much detail. Hell, I don't want to scare my audience that much. I am making this the year of as much absolute quality as possible.
people use these weird apps, filmic pro garbage that is now subscription lmao, ive used MoviePro from the filmic times and it is a complete bomb, not sure about black majic though
As always best graphics on TH-cam which definitely helps put these concepts over. However I can’t help thinking 99.5% of people watching this will never be making a real movie for cinemas . Especially in this age Tik Tokers and TH-cam channels . Not knocking you . Keep them coming appreciate all your hard work.
New Mac with the apple chip edit both codecs or formats like a breeze. I shoot h.265 on all my Sony cameras and export ad h.264 since it’s what most social media platforms will take.
I'm sorry 😁😁😁😁 Wrong comment wrong video. But I did watch all the way to the end and you did clarify a lot for me. In terms of trying to be a creator and Having trouble deciding whether I should use widow. H265 for go off the deep end and use pro Res for just regular videos. I know this video took a lot of work for you and in return. You helped countless amounts of people.
Thank you for your classes with great technical content. I use ProRes LT on both the iPhone 15 and a Fujifilm X-H2s and I find it a perfect balance for wedding videos. Hugs directly from Brazil
This video is great for explaining h.265 and prores and how to shoot videos with your iphone. Great! Watched the previous video on the iphone setup as well and that was great too. Definitely earned my subscription
Wow, this video is just outstanding and should be watched by every aspiring digital film maker. I just learned SO much, and I feel like I now have the confidence to choose between these codecs with some semblance of actual understanding.
Very well done video and well explained. The short version is that H.265 is a display format. It is not really an "acquisition format" for editing. You can watch the original footage, and in that case it is really impressive, particularly given its size. It is also great as a display format for all sorts of devices and situations at the end of the whole ProRes editing process.

Really happy I managed to simplify it enough to understand everything. Thank you so much for watching, kindly share if you can. Much appreciated 🙏🙏
really high quality video. Thanks for explaining the differences so well! I have decided to start using Proress 422 LT for my youtube channel
So happy I can help, thanks for watching
I do not comment a lot, but I feel that I should comment on this well structured and well made video. It is easily the best explanation and comparison videos of CODEC focusing on HEVC and ProRes I have watched. It is on point and precise, and easy to understand and digest. The comparison of image quality really relies heavily on the same angle and composition of the frame, and the video producer made a big effort to make sure the same object under the same lighting are compared side by side. The smudges and noise, and denoising cannot be explained more simply. I learned so much from this video. It is the first time I came across "The DP Journey" channel, and I instantly subscribed. Thank you for this amazingly informative video, Sherif.
Wow!!! Thank you so much for such amazing and supportive comment. I feel humbled by your words. And I’m really glad I managed to compel you to comment 😀
Most of all, I’m really glad my explanation simplified such a complex topic for everyone to understand
Thanks again for watching and welcome aboard
WOW! Such a great video as always!
Thankful to find this video. Another TH-camr insisted on H.265 and sold me on the small size but when it came to editing I couldn't figure out why my M2 MacBook was struggling with it. Now I know why. Thank you for educating me. I think I'll stick with ProRes LT.
Really glad I can help. Thanks for watching
I never thought prores is useful for content creator. Now it makes GH6 internal prores feature a lot more valueable.
no wonder why ProRes is the industry standard
I teach video for a living. I certify my students in Premier. This is THE ABSOLUTE BEST explanation I have seen to date! Subbed!
Thank you so much for your kind words! And welcome aboard
Wow, the nerding out section was 🔥!!! I appreciate your effort of digging in to all that and providing visual examples. Keep up the great work! More importantly, keep being a camera nerd!!! 😁👍
Glad you liked it and happy you enjoyed the nerdy part as well
After this video I feel as really experienced cameraman 😁 really good video🙂
Really happy I can help, Thank you so much for watching
Brilliant breakdown of how codecs work.
Really glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Wow. As a beginner, this video was AMAZING-it was informative, concise yet detailed (almost like 422 codec dare I say), with clear explanations and insightful examples. Thank you very much!
Really glad you found like 422 🤓👍
Glad I can help at this phase of your career. Best of luck
By far the best ProRes explanation I've ever seen.
Thank you so much, glad you liked it 🙏
WOW! That made things so easy to understand
I love that you presented us a system that considers all aspects of the process to help make decisions! I feel like I learn so much from this video and the decisions actually make sense to me now seeing the footage. Sometimes I struggle with seeing the difference in the footage in comparison videos as I'm still training my eyes and this one really helped with that in addition to the topic at hand
Thank you so much, really happy you liked the comparison. And thank you so much for the kind words.
What a wonderful video! You nailed it. Very clear, logical, correct and well-paced. I have been shooting in 422 LT but will definitely choose 422 for the critical stuff. Editing in FCP on Apple Silicon is such a pleasure. Great job!
Thank you so much for watching and glad you're already shooting in LT. 422 would be for more commercial quality maybe
I am in awe. Instant subscribe to the channel after watching this. The best explanation I have ever seen on this topic.
Thank you so much for the comment, and welcome aboard
Was waiting impatiently for this episode! Appreciate the info tremendously 👍
My pleasure!
You made me understand what others failed to explain to me for years. Important work, extremely well done !
Really happy to hear that. I’m glad I can help
Stay tuned for more then, and please share if you can
Best Video for this topic! I’ve learned much! Thank you!
Thanks you so much for your support and contribution. 🙏🙏
Wait a minute, this was free? By far the most captivating tutorial on phone photography I’ve ever consumed. You deserve every new follower. Grateful!!
Thank you soooo much for such awesome comment. Happy to offer my videos for free for kind people like yourself. All I would ask is to share it please and spread the word. Welcome aboard and thanks again
@@THEDPJOURNEY of course !!
the best explanation about ProRes vs h.265 by far
Good job man !
Your production quality is insane !
Thank you so much, really glad you liked it
Wow, I'm really enjoying this Netflix chanel!!!

Men, as you know, your videos are really satisfying, and easy to learn,
I never miss a second of your videos🔥🙏🏼.
one question☝🏼
Do you agree with my view that it wouldn't be a huge challenge for Apple to bring ProRes Log to the iPhone 14 Pro?
Thank you so much for your kind words and support, and yes I do agree with you APPLE should definitely add log to iPhone 14
not possible, there is a completely different hardware for log image pipeline in the iphone 15
@@snak4716 also beyond the technical side, on a marketing side, they need more reasons to sell iPhone 15
@@snak4716 Because when I compared regular ProRes 422HQ to ProRes 422HQ log, they almost have the same file size. So, it seems Apple might not need beefed-up hardware in the iPhone 14 Pro for shooting ProRes log,
And also, i think it’s possible because Regular ProRes 422 HQ is compressed with effects during recording. But log means, uncompressed.
So, i think shooting ProRes log might need even less power!😅
@@balarol no it's not that. there isn't any beefed up hardware in regards to size, that's just the hard drive speed you're talking about. it's about missing hardware in the 14. the 15 has a dedicated piece of hardware that is responsible for encoding log, which turns on only when you select log shooting. by default in the standard profile, the 15 uses the same 14 video encoding hardware. there are 2 different pieces of hardware on the 15, one responsible for the standard profile, tone mapping, hdr, etc, and the other is dedicated for the log image processing, which the 14 is missing
Jesus bro, I can't imagine the effort you put into this for the INSANE quality. I don't even wanna watch other videos after watching yous. you have spoiled us lol
Can you change your TH-cam name to "The Professor"? How brilliant you are! Thank you.
I vote yes!!
LOL... as in the Professor from the NETFLIX series "Money Heist"! That's super flattering, maybe I should... hahah
@THEDPJOURNEY, Excellent video. It was the video that made me discover this channel, and with that, it gained another subscriber.
As a beginner of filming with iPhone/ProRes/SSD/Rig/Lenses, I ask a question:
Is there any chance of editing ProRes videos with DaVinci Resolve on Windows?
Thank you so much for joining the channel. I believe you can edit ProRes in DR on a windows machine. Not sure since I own Macs
@@THEDPJOURNEY Hi, thank you for your quick reply. Well, in my case its a bit weird because, I filmed with my iPhone 15 Pro Max to a Sandisk Extreme SSD, all seems fine so far since I can play it inside "BlackMagic Cam" app Media tab, without any issues, and in "Files" internal app as well. But, If connect the SSD to my PC (a good usb-c cable, USB-C 4.0 rated cable) with VLC, the video's playback simply show a couple of random frames, and even sometimes, are shown with green bars across the video or other kind of artifacts (like codec-related issues).
I did a little capture of one of the playbacks, that can be seen on my channel's public videos.
There, you can even see the thumbnails of the other videos are messed up. The SSD is brand new. I have no issues at all if playing directly from SSD connected to iPhone.
I'm using a Windows 10 Pro, without any kind of issues, GPU is a RTX 4080 Super, CPU Ryzen 5 2nd Gen
I've no hint at this time. I was thinking about to get an mini Mac M2 Pro for editing, but with a pretty nice PC with a 39inch Oled Display, I would like to save that money If i have a chance to do it on the PC.
Thank you for any advise.
I think it's time for ProRes to have a successor. MPEG-2TS, MP4/H264, and HEVC/H.265 have all come out within ProRes' lifespan. Especially when compared to Blackmagic Raw and even ProRes Raw, it feels oversized for its quality. Maybe smaller versions of ProRes Raw could replace ProRes for capture? I'm interested to see what comes in the future.
I do prefer it to DNxHR (since all flavors are 10-bit 4:2:2), but it still feels like it's in need of an update.
I find myself preferring to shoot 6K BRAW Q3 as it's smaller than 4K ProRes 422HQ.
Prores is not a final format as H.265 is. So I do not understand your desire to upgrade.
I’m so glad I watched your video. I originally assumed that h265 would only be affecting shots where there is a lot more movement for the compression to handle and no finer detail in more static shots would be affected. I was happy with the image for the iPhone 15 pro max but still thought it was plain to see it was shot with a mobile phone. On the last shoot after watching your video I used ProRes 422 and tbh the difference is plain to see. The image is much more organic. It looks close to a modern camera and a lot less digital and processed. Thanks for taking your time to create this detailed video.
Yeah H265 is a sort of temporal type of compression, so static areas will be affected more. But also moving areas with solids in their motion blur. Really happy the video helped
Thanks for watching
@@THEDPJOURNEY it sure did. I think had the balckmagic allow for w bit more than 50 mbps in h265 it might look a bit better. For my use recording ProRes 422 internally is good enough.
my goooodnesss thank you! now i dont have to argue with those "bUt mY pHoNe caN 8k aNd 200mpx" people anymore. ill just send this video in their face haha.
hahaha... glad I can help you with your arguments with those people!
MP do matter..when shot far item..iphone camera isn't good as samsung...the only advantages Apple has is codec ProRes
@D0x1511af i’m curious to see your comparison to substantiate this claim
@@D0x1511af not enough dynamic range. That sensor is way too small for 200mpx. Hasselblad or phaseone mid format sensor ok. But not on phone.
Lol kid 😂u don't have to argue tho because those 8k n 200mp win easily any day I can send u the clips taken from my both phones samsung is years head in tech
Thanks for this! This is super helpful! Your way of explaining super complex things in an easy manner is by far the best! Thanks!
Really glad I managed to successfully simplify it for everyone. It wasn’t easy I must say 😂
Thanks for watching
First!
I should organise some sort of competition with prizes for the first comment, honestly, thanks again for your dedication, really appreciate it
@@THEDPJOURNEY I'm a huge fan, have been watching you since the beginning. Hope to meet you one day to shoot something. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you so much again for your loyalty and support, it would definitely be a pleasure working with you one day
ok
And…
Standing ovation dude. This was broken down so well and can of paint could understand it. WOW… just wow
Thank you for such an in-depth video, some bits were too technical for me be your way of explaining helped me a lot to understand some of it at least... loved the comparison style too...
Glad you liked it. Yeah that’s why I gave a Nerd Alert warning 🤓 but glad you survived it
I know it’s a bit intense but necessary
Wow, this is one of the best technical YT videos I've ever seen. Your explanations are crystal clear and so simple to understand. Thank you for marvellous work. 😀
Thank you so much for such an awesome comment
I think you were slightly wrong there, the 10bit HEVC captured by Iphone 15 Pro is in 4:2:0 not 4:2:2 chroma subsampling. Only ProRes encoders support 4:2:2 All Intra 10bit encoding.
One more bad thing about current ProRes tuning by apple is that they give no option to turn off noise reduction completely and also no option to disable baked in lens vignette correction. Turning these both off will make us use the entire range of data and making those extra bitrates worth more as currently we are still getting a soft image even with such big file sizes. I would love to do everything in post if they just give pure log ProRes 422 HQ.
Hoping they fix this by Iphone 18Pro as apple is usually slow in fixing niche stuffs😅
Also one more thing you got wrong was that Lossless Compressed RGB RAW data is not much bigger than lossy compressed YUV data, so if you compare apples to apples then a 12bit lossless Cinema DNG uncompressed footage won't be bigger but almost equal to 4444XQ 12bit ProRes footage.
The file size comparison graph you showed for uncompressed footage was for a 16bit RAW stream. 16bit>>>10bit file size in any codec so not the right way to compare.
Rather compare it to a 10bit lossless RGB RAW footage which will show that 10bit 444 ProRes HQ and 10bit lossless RAW are very similar in size, even ProRes in some cases sizes more than lossless RAW.
I’m 100% hevc is 10bit. Check it yourself in the info tab or any 3rd party app like media info
And yes I wish they gave us more control over prores. Maybe in iPhone 16
You rock, very professional and not annoying personality.
You Rock! 🤘
As a producer and editor, I feel like I become the "Resolution Nazi" with my clients - and often wonder if it's overkill when the clients don't really notice or care about maintaining image integrity. Your video restores my confidence that we should maintain professional protocols to create the most pristine imagery possible. Thank you for the well-informed pep talk!
Really happy you liked it. Clients would never understand this of course. Many times I go against their will and just shoot in the best format for the job and then just export it to whatever they want
This is the closest to perfection a video about video editing can get!
It would be great if you could compare the footage of the16 Pro with the 15 Pro to see if there's any difference or improvements.
You got yourself a new subscriber!
Thank you so much! I’m already working on that other one. Should be out soon
Wow. The educational value of this video is off the charts. Thank you so much for such a clear, thorough explanation of something that had been so confusing before. That combined with the side-by-side examples and the educational graphics, what a service! Thanks again!
You're very welcome!
Thank you very much. Best video, great production, perfect explained. Just wow, really appreciate your work. Thank you!
Wow! Thanks for the amazing comment and for such awesome support! Happy you liked it 🙏🙏🙏
DP Journey is camera TH-cam for camera TH-camrs. Absolutely terrific stuff, mate.
Thank you so much for the compliment, apologies I didn't fully understand your question
I've watched youtube videos for more than 10years now and this one has been, no joke, one of the most helpful videos I've watched! It is such a good video for people getting into video shooting. I'm glad you have chosen to upload this to the internet free of cost so everyone can have access to it, you have definitely earned my sub ! lol. I have one question though, the conclusion caught me off guard because how can you record in H.265 and then just change the codec of an already filmed video to 422? What is the method to do that? I thought once you shoot a video it will have that codec until you export it to another one. Should you then, record all footage in H.265, export that raw footage to 422 and then start the editing process? Why wouldn't you just record it straight in Proress 422 instead of doing that?
It would mean a lot to me if you answered my questions. :)
First of all, thank you so much for the kind words and compliments about this video. Really happy hits to that from everything you've been watching before. As for your question, the main reason why I recommended to convert the H265 into 4 to 2 is to prevent any further deterioration of the video file as you are editing it or exporting it multiple times. But if you're only using it once for a quick project, then you don't really need to if your computer is fast enough to process the H265. You can use Apple compressor to do this conversion if you want, or just left your editing software to create proxies, which could be an easier way if you want just for editing speed.
Best. Video. Ever. Exactly what I was looking for and explained in the simplest and most professional way possible.
Wow, thanks! 🙏
It's all been said better than I can, cracking tutorial that I'm gonna recommend my students watch, even just for an understanding of how to evaluate quality and file size for compression/codec choice.
Thank you so much for your awesome support! Hope your students would like it as well and find it useful
This is such a good educational video. I love the aspect of trade offs per codec.
Anyone who needs to learn about codecs in general should watch this.
Glad you liked it. Please share if you can, really helps a lot
Excellent video man. Internal ProRes at 8K to the CFX card is the reason why chose the Fuji XH2. No external SSD's or wires required! Keep up the good work.
Yeah ProRes is usually worth the hassle
Outstanding tutorial, you even made the section you warned would be technical very easy to follow. I wish you made videos for every one of my filmmaking questions :D
Thank you so much for the compliment, glad you found it easy to grasp. Please go ahead and ask questions here, I’m curious what do you need clarification for?
What an excellent explainer! The demonstrations regarding denoise performance and generation loss were exceptional - you made the difference super clear. A big thanks for running through the different ProRes versions as well; I was having a hard time nailing down the exact level of diminishing returns I'd be comfortable with, but being able to see them cycled through was very enlightening. Thanks you!
Thank you so much for the kind compliments and awesome comment, really happy you found this video informative, and it answered all your questions
Hats off to you!! I recently bought the iphone 15 pro max, along with Brandon Li's co-design small rig. I've been strongly researching and studying various videos regarding videography and photography, in addition to all the components that go with them, (colour grading, camera functions and set-up, shooting techniques etc...) as I'm very new to content creation. I personally found this video to be highly educational/informative! There is so much I HAVE and WANT to learn... so please keep making content like this to help guide new content creators such as myself, as you are an outstanding educator and will make a strong impact. You're awesome!
This is the best video explaining technical info i've seen in a white!
Thank you Sherif! amazing!

Thank you. Excited to do my own testing - this breakdown was very helpful - waiting for my 16 pro to come soon!
Happy to help, enjoy your new phone!
Thank you, this was very educational for me as a novice user of the iphone to record precious memories. I always worry about future proofing my footage for my family and this helped a lot!
Really happy I can help, thanks for watching
Okay, for someone only occasionally shooting video, this is incredibly helpful. The comparisons make the video! Thank you.
Excellent Video. I would love to see a follow up video about deciding which codecs, audio settings, exposure/white balance/tint settings when shooting Blackmagic Cam on iPhone 15 pro max!
Absolutely stunning and brilliant, I've always wondered why I got such blocky areas shooting w my Fujifilm XH1 that I didn't get with my Blackmagic cameras. This sums it up perfectly...
Really glad it answered some questions for you, thanks again for watching
Excellent production. It's astounding how good the H.265 files are. I found that after export and compression of whatever platform it was being viewed on that the difference was negligible & don't bother with ProRes now. It's visible at 400% on my 32" 4K screen, but most of what I make with the phone is going to be being viewed at phone size, at 1080 & being streamed.
The simplicity of being able to AirDrop large amounts of footage wirelessly as opposed to dealing with storage media and huge files to archive is the main reason for me. It reduces so much friction to be able to just make things instead of deal with the headache of managing more media. And if the minute quality difference to ProRes will matter for the project, I definitely shouldn't be shooting it on my phone lol
If all your footage is going to be viewed on iPhone, and there’s not much post Production then for sure H265 is best for you
Amazing video - spent an ages trawling the internet and this single video answered all my questions and more! Subscribed 🙂
Really glad to hear that. Thank you so much for watching.
H265 codec takes advantage of compressing darker areas of the image. Exposing to the right is helpful for both Log encoding and H265 codec to perform better. ProRes is overkill for the detail level an iPhone can capture but may be useful when it comes to sharper lens and sensor on a cinema camera.
True provided that exposing to the right will not blow out details in the highlights
@@THEDPJOURNEY I found Apple log is easier to be blown out at highlight than mirrorless cameras though. That’s definitely something that needs more skill and experience to get right.
Wow what a fantastic breakdown. Can't begin to imagine how long that took you to put together but it was brilliant. Thank you. Now I'm off to look at your other videos................
Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you so much for the compliments, really hope you like the other videos
This video is exceptional!!!
The effort you put into it must be intense. Instant sub!

This video should be a reference on how to make a tutorial video.
Thanks for this awesome information so well presented.👍
Thank you so much for the kind compliments. And I’m very happy you liked it 👍👍🙏🙏
WOW! Thank you so much. I have just been to school. You just answered all my questions on formats. I have a TH-cam channel and have been experimenting with formats. I am settled on 422HQ for my BlackMagic app. Then I use my IPhone camera app on 265 for other things like my talking head videos where I don't need that much detail. Hell, I don't want to scare my audience that much. I am making this the year of as much absolute quality as possible.
people use these weird apps, filmic pro garbage that is now subscription lmao, ive used MoviePro from the filmic times and it is a complete bomb, not sure about black majic though
As always best graphics on TH-cam which definitely helps put these concepts over.
However I can’t help thinking 99.5% of people watching this will never be making a real movie for cinemas . Especially in this age Tik Tokers and TH-cam channels . Not knocking you . Keep them coming appreciate all your hard work.
Totally feeling you, TikTok, where shall we begin?!
New Mac with the apple chip edit both codecs or formats like a breeze. I shoot h.265 on all my Sony cameras and export ad h.264 since it’s what most social media platforms will take.
I'm sorry 😁😁😁😁 Wrong comment wrong video. But I did watch all the way to the end and you did clarify a lot for me. In terms of trying to be a creator and Having trouble deciding whether I should use widow. H265 for go off the deep end and use pro Res for just regular videos. I know this video took a lot of work for you and in return. You helped countless amounts of people.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for your classes with great technical content. I use ProRes LT on both the iPhone 15 and a Fujifilm X-H2s and I find it a perfect balance for wedding videos. Hugs directly from Brazil
Great to hear! And Hugs from New York. I always wanted to visit Brazil! Maybe one day
This video is great for explaining h.265 and prores and how to shoot videos with your iphone. Great! Watched the previous video on the iphone setup as well and that was great too. Definitely earned my subscription
Thank you so much for your support. Really glad it was helpful, and welcome aboard 👍👍
Wow, this video is just outstanding and should be watched by every aspiring digital film maker. I just learned SO much, and I feel like I now have the confidence to choose between these codecs with some semblance of actual understanding.
Very well done video and well explained. The short version is that H.265 is a display format. It is not really an "acquisition format" for editing. You can watch the original footage, and in that case it is really impressive, particularly given its size. It is also great as a display format for all sorts of devices and situations at the end of the whole ProRes editing process.
