Oh my god this is unreal. They just keep taking care of their customers long after we bought the camera. No gimmicks like “YOU MUST BUY A NEW CAMERA FOR THE NEW UPDATES!” Just free software updates
This seems massively useful. Sony [presumably] has the same thing on their newer cameras, but it only "works" in Sony Catalyst, so you have to 'prep' the footage first (AFAIK). Blackmagic needs to get on the autofocus game now. :)
They won’t
Thats a no no for a real cinema camera, if they do so it would be just a pocket camera thou
Thank you ! As a BMPCC 6K owner , I was helped by quite a few of your suggestions…. Making this upgrade a much bigger deal than most realize !
bruh i just bought a steadicam to fix the stabilization issues with black magic. Thank god for your video. you just saved my ass. i can still return it. you are my hero right now
Excellent examples! What would also be of help now is a step by step walk through of both camera settings and steps in Resolve. (I know you touched on the camera settings some, but a complete step by step from camera set up to editing would be of help.). Great work!
agreed
Wow. This is pretty amazing. Gyro stabilization isn't a solution for everything, but if you can use high frame rates this may have just saved you the cost of a new gimbal.
Amazing. Gyro gets rid of that background warping you get with the standard stabilizers.
Yes, this is the best video on this subject by far. Everyone else just went in and stabilized without taking shutter into account.
I haven’t seen anyone else mention the lens data either - it was confirmed today that if no lens info is inputted, the lens is assumed to be 18mm! Thankfully my video might help some people out! Thanks for the comment ! 🥰
@@GimbleProductions wow, cool. So the lens data is important. and I'm with you on BM allowing us to use the gyro info to cut camera tracking out of the pipeline. That would be amazing. How do we make that happen?
@@SereneBobcat The biggest issue I find with 3D footage camera tracking is things like like lens flares, objects obstructing the camera, moving elements inside the footage like actors can cause problems. I tried 3D camera tracking scenes with swaying trees and it was causing errors. The camera doesn’t record movement information as far as I know, so I think the 3D camera tracking would be good for getting a movement analysis and then have the gyro data provide another layer of information of the cameras movements.
I’m not a programmer or am I sure if that’s even possible, but I do think having the actual data of camera rotations and orientations would provide much cleaner information! The Blackmagic Raw SDK has gyro data inside it now so it’s up to third parties to develop solutions
@@GimbleProductions I thought it might be - I took a manual 135mm out to try, but didn't enter data (just to see how far it could be pushed, and would be obvious if it wasn't seeing it)
It didn't do anything I could see when stabilised - although you can enter lens metadata in Resolve's media tab, it didn't seem to make a difference, so I guess it just ignores anything there - it would be useful if you could enter it manually
@@GimbleProductions yeah, I see it more of an assist - I've tracked shots for sky replacement, and if there's not much detail going on when there's a lot of sky, it's tricky - having rotation data for that I think should help
I've not read about anyone using it on high end VFX where you think it might get tried first - RED cameras can have gyro data apparently - maybe it's been tried and doesn't help?
Thanks again for the video Gimble Productions.
I've been obsessing for a while trying to get lens choice sorted and trying to get image stabilisation lenses that function acceptably to me combined with gimbal.
But now, with this game-changing update, I'll be going back to the land of manual cinema glass / vintage lenses and employing the gyro stabilisation which I think will get better and better as Resolve is worked on. We shall see...
FYI the gyro motion data is already available via our Blackmagic RAW SDK for 3rd party developers. The documentation wasn't ready for the 2.5 update but the API interfaces to get the data are there (and is what Resolve is using), we will have documentation in our 2.6 release coming shortly.
I'm not a developer, but just wanted to say thanks for adding this in - it's appreciated
Sweet! Thanks for the update - I’m not too familiar with coding or SDK’s so that is all a bit foreign to me, but I’m sure someone will definitely have positive reactions to that!
I really enjoyed watching it. It's a great comparative analysis video. And, Can you tell me the music that's playing in the video? I think it's great to listen to on a rainy day.
Awesome video dude! I love what BMD have done but it's a shame the shutter angle has to be so low. I get why technically, but its a shame. I always shoot at a 180 shutter angle so it seems like I won't really be able to take full advantage of this!
Thank you for the excellent video.
I have a question regarding the content at the 5 minute and 40 second mark in the video.
I use the Sony A1 and stabilize the images with Catalyst Browser.
As you mentioned, I understand that a high shutter speed is necessary to achieve good results. However, as you pointed out, using a high shutter speed causes the video to exceed the usual 180-degree shutter angle, making it feel unnatural.
Is this why you apply the Pixel Motion Blur effect to mitigate this issue?
If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide some general guidance on how this can be done.
Thank you for your comment and your compliment!
You are correct! I use a high shutter speed but that makes footage appear choppy. To counteract this, you can add a Motion Blur amount in the colour page in Davinci Resolve OR apply a Pixel Motion Blur effect in Adobe.
Pixel Motion Blur in After Effects is pretty good as it lets you set a desired shutter angle! You can simply put 180 as the value and voila! Resolve requires you to somewhat guess the value, but with reference footage, you can set the value to your liking
@@GimbleProductions Thank you very much for your quick and detailed comment! You gave me a clear answer to something I had been wondering about for the past few days.
Great video! Thank you for these tests.
Wish they made it so that we can see the stabilization while we are filming instead of in post.
Great video! We needed this!
just a simple question......I wanna do a rap what should I focus the most on when I wanna edit or make a good soft?i would love to
What about the BLCC OG? how to update that one? They really should do a Limited Edition with upgraded firmware and image stabilisation for the OG model!
Have a look into the SteadXP device to stabilise your footage! This performs the same gyro functionality of the BMPCC 4K/6K/Pro cameras as an external gyro module. Takes a bit longer to set up and stabilise in post though
I haven't found anyone talking about the autofocus performance improvements. Have you noticed anything significant with this update?
Thank you so much: talk about a game changer!
Wowwww just wowwww selling my Gimbal tomorrow lol
Can you use 24fps when in 75 degree shutter?
Stabilization is nice , but... can that data be used for camera tracking in virtual production. That is what I want.
Sadly not yet, though there is metadata being created somewhere in the camera and files. I’d love to be able to do 3D tracking paired with the camera gyro data to get more reliable tracking
Great video and impressive results! I recently purchased a 6k G2, one of the selling points being the advantages of gyro stabilization. I am not achieving results on par with your video however. I have done all the tips in this video like entering lens focal length manually and increasing shutter speed to minimize motion blur. The thing that made the most difference was increasing frame rate from 24 to 60, however the stabilized video still bobs up and down while walking. I have been working on my smooth heel to toe walk, but you've got a clip where you're running and it still ends up super smooth?! I've noticed the best results using gyro stabilization seem to occur when paired with the sigma 18-35mm lens, could there be some connection? Do settings like resolution or constant bitrate vs constant quality make any difference? I'm new to black magic cameras and Davinci Resolve so quite possible I'm missing something basic. Would love to get results like yours!
Do you other lens have contacts that tell the camera f stop and focal length?
Hello there, how are you maintaining focus? Any tips for me?
Keep a constant distance between myself and subject, but also I do adjust on the fly with my left hand. I use my left wrist to support the underside of the cam as well as I adjust focus.
for each track/instrunt?
How were you walking in these clips?
@@aShotByFred as carefully as I could 😂
@@GimbleProductions these are insane shots
This is amazing, thanks for the info!
Do you know if the metadata is saved in both pro res and raw files? Thanks!
Hmm I've heard people not having prores files work but I have not tried myself!
Will 12bit footage decrease to 8bit/or decrease image quality after gyro stabilization?
I do not think Gyro will change your footage type - unlike some stabilization software, you don’t save the stabilization result by exporting a video. It should all look just as good!
I should add, I do not think the camera records movement data - the camera seemingly only records x and y orientation data. For CGI work as I mentioned in this clip, perhaps the gyro data paired with performing 3D camera tracking could greatly improve results rather than just relying on the 3D tracking alone. What is your favourite thing about this new update?
Could you please be a little more specific on your comment about high shutter speed? I always keep my shutter speed at 180° angle. I'm just concerned that if I need to go higher than that, it will affect the cinematic motion blur that 180° achieves. How much higher do you go?
@@leebrandt8597 The higher shutter speed removes the motion blur from the footage - if the shutter was still set to 180, but you perform the gyro stabilizer, the footage will have motion blurring visual distortions going in all different directions in the footage. You’re probably best to add the motion blur back into the footage in post, like using After Effects pixel motion blur setting set to 180 degrees to bring back the look (I usually set motion blur range to small on Resolve at about 25 and that does the trick for me)
Have a look at the power lines in the shot with the girl skipping - you’ll notice wonkiness and blurring occurring. A slower shutter speed like 180 would have even worse distortions, ruining the shot
@@GimbleProductions Gotcha. So which number do you go to on shutter speed?
@@leebrandt8597 I’d say a shutter angle of 75 id a good number - I did that for all these tests
I was wondering about that! Nice tests! Looks like the 75 degree shutter helped a ton! And I never thought of adding a pixel motion blur in post until you mentioned it!
Thats awesome!
After updating my bmpcc 6k Pro (7.9) and calibrating the motion sensor and after updating DaVinci resolve Studio to the latest version I took a clip but I don't get the gyro stabilization option in the stabilization drop down menue... Why is that?
It will only appear if you've shot braw.
I bought soft soft today!
With 75 Shutter do yo mean 75 Degrees? or 1/75 Shutter?
Shutter Angle - my apologies!
Yes yes yes yes!
I don't know what happened to stabilization on davinci. It used to handle everything so well, Braw, XAVC and then resolve 18 was launched and the stabilization gone terrible. Every single clip you try to stabilize now with perspective or translation looks unwatchable.
It's worth noting that this only (seems to) work(s) when recording BM-RAW.
Good pickup! Yes, just to BRAW
@@GimbleProductions It only works when recording in 6k raw. In 4k raw it does not work.
Thats freaking awesome! but I can't seem to find this lens data inside my camera!! Looked everywhere! Plz help!
Swipe left on the screen and it should bring up the lens data screen - either what it detects, or options to edit manually
@@stevegreen9474 gonna try that!! Tnx a lot!
@@stevegreen9474 for some reason, there is no option inside davinvi for stabilizing with gyro like in the video. I'm using a native laowa 7.5mm. Not sure what I'm doing wrong...
@@salazarbernardo
Firmware must be updated to 7.9 (and it will only work with footage shot after the update)
Footage must be BRAW
You will need to use davinci 18 beta 5
Also any stabilisation on the lens should be turned off (although this doesn't apply for this lens)
I've seen someone use the same one, so it may just be a bug...
@@stevegreen9474 yes, positive for that. Still nothing...
Excellent point about objects passing the frame and visual distortion. The original is truly unusable, a big problem as it’s an important part of a clip for the logical transition.
I did some tests! I discovered that gyro stabilisation is missing in Davinci when using stabilized lens.
If you use a stabilized lens, the camera rotations etc wouldn’t align with the image well - you could probably make do with the lens IS, but you can have the camera disable it if you want to bring that option back :)
I would think a stabilized lens defeats the link between camera and lens. The camera doesnt know what the glass is doing and wont keep track
wow
For this to be even more useful, angle/shutter should be set as high as possible and this will leave less motion blur introduced to the captured image. In post you can add that "cinematic" motion blur. TH-cam vp9 compression it's hard to see detail in areas of focus resulting loss in sharpness contrast. This is good and bad. In TH-cam you are not noticing sudden burst of blurs. But in edit or in streaming platforms that accept higher bitrate files, like Vimeo. Also Vimeo is used in professional fields to display final products to clients. Depending on your client, they might notice the bursts of blurs.
All in all, if you know you need to stabilize the footage, prepare for it properly. Remove your ND filters (they can downgrade your footage anyway with poor infrared filteration resulting in red tint in black surfaces), use higher shutter angle/count to compensate overexposure. Try your best to not introduce micro jitter. Good trick is to use something to lean to. Tree, lamp post, sit down, use tripod and get some weight to your camera. Camera strap behind neck is very good fast way.
Good shooting and alwayse test and prepare!
Good tips
Ну кайф
Just stay in your comfort zone at first and focus on one tNice tutorialng at a ti. Just try to make a simple soft first. When you get used to the

Oh this is the best video about this so far.
None of the other videos mentioned anything about sensor calibration, or setting your focal length manually with a manual focus lense. Its been an absolute hassle trying to find information about it.
I do agree moving up your shutter speed will produce much nicer looking results (after motionblur correction) but the caveat is you will need to be very careful with screens / non-video lights / and indoor lighting of any kind - 75 or 90 degree with 24/25fps causes mad flicker, around 108 degree with 30fps seemed to work on my tv. Any higher fps like 50+ will not work at all, mad flicker on any angle so it makes it a non-option for a lot of indoor scenarios or screen driven event work or the industry I'm in particularly (esports/gaming).
But for controlled lighting scenarios and outdoor this is a nice tool to have.
Well it's only been a day...
You can still use 150 shutter angle or even 180 if you walk carefully and slowly
DeFlicker is an amazing tool for completely removing any banding or flicker
@@T1Media.ireland I appreciate the suggestion but in line with professional work this work-around is never guaranteed (and I have never had success with any flicker workarounds personally with my line of work) and it's not worth potentially having unusable footage - better to capture it right first in camera.
for your esports work do you find you need to stabilize your footage a lot? i figure you'll either have a steadicam or be on sticks most of the time??
Amazing what you get with Blackmagic! Hidden features that just totally change the game. Thanks for taking the time to do this. It's really informative.
Best BMPCC 6K gyro test I seen on web. Plus very pleasing estetic. Makes it very enjoyabe to watch! Congrats :) Is there any reason you use 75 over 90 shutter angle? I had with both good results.
The less motion blur the better probably. So the corrected frame is as clean as possible without smearing from motion blur after the motion got corrected.
You sir deserves all of the likes. You actually went in and showed us how to us it and even showed examples. My life completely changed because of you! Thanks a lot!
your life?
He's also amongst to the few to adjust the shutter angle. It should be 90 degrees even lower --45 degrees to when running. Lowering the shutter angle gets rid of the micro-jitters caused by motion blur.
dam. ive been waiting for this for a long time. the results are just amazing, I had no idea this was available. Im good with my ninja walks and I always shoot with fast shutter on hand held anyway, to avoid seeing the "scarecrow effect" of motion blur after stabilizing. the vector based motion blur in fusion does a hell of a job. I always use it when im working on green screen to get my blur back after keying. and shooting in 6K should give enough room for the crop. I remember when I bought my 6Kpro and some were like "what a waste, we dont even have 6k TVs yet".. anyway, this totally rocks and I cant wait to try this out tomorrow. I think it looks AMAZING. and yes, for comping it would be great to have that data. Even if just for an assistant. Camera tracking is already so good in fusion it wouldn't take much to give it some help. have a great week.
Excellent video test! Thank you!!
Quick hint if it helps, Keep image stabilisation OFF. Tried with a Panasonic Leica 12-60 f2.8 - f4 and image stabilisation ON makes the Gyro stabilisation look really awkward in Resolve. With O.I.S. OFF it looks great with the Gyro stabilisation.
On another note, I can't see a noticeable difference between Gyro stabilised shot with lens info filled in and shot with it not filled in on my manual Voigtlander 25mm 0.95 lens.
Thanks for the tip.
I was unable to use the camera gyro with my Panasonic 12-35mm with OIS on or off. The camera gyro option was not available in the Inspector. Interesting that the 12-60 worked for you.
@@curlyhead4545 May I ask, have you updated the BMPCC 4K/6K camera firmware to 7.9 and the Davinci Resolve Software version to 18.0 Public Beta 5?
@@curlyhead4545 I try both 12-35mm and 14-42, unable to use gyro too @ bmpcc 4k + 18.0 beta5. sigma 18-35 works but the result is not good
@@timrober75 Yes I have updated both. Others on the BMD forum have expressed the same issue with that lens. I do see the gyro data on a Voightlander manual lens.
How do you think, is it possible for developers to create an adobe plugin that will support gyro stabilization? At the moment there is an official plugin for Adobe Premier to work with braw-files.
Grant Petty said the BRAW SDK will be updated to include gyro data, this means it’s possible third parties can develop their own solutions to make use of this data for stabilisation in other programs ! Might take time for someone to develop it though
@@GimbleProductions thanks for answer, I will hope!
BEST STABILISATION VIDEO ON TH-cam. Beautiful footage. I also lliked many of the original shots. Lit and colour corrected perfectly
Thanks! That was just Gen 5 to extended video lut!
When setting the lens data, do you put in the actual focal length of the lens or do you consider the crop factor in this case (18 - 35mm) x1.6 = ( 28.8 - 56mm) ?
In that case, test the adjusted focal length with the original focal length and see what works best! - it’s not fully confirmed if Resolve is looking at the lens info, but it’s something to take into consideration
I think is a Bad idea … metadata give to resolve sensor size, lens data, etc, changing data go against info of metadata.
@@carlomacchiavello i was referring to manual lenses. On the manual lenses the camera doesn't get fed with the lens information and you have to feed it with the correct info. You can't change the native lens Metadata anyway
@@Ghassan.albalushi sorry I misunderstood:-)
Anyway manual calculation of crop to me is bad idea. Focal length not change with crop, and focal length determine the perspective distortion. Gyro read and record motion of camera, and when plug-in stabilise it use gyro motion and focal length to understand perspective change and spacial acceleration of picture. Plug-in read sensor size from braw data and calculate itself if need the different crop value. If you put same lens on pk4 and on pk6 you have same acceleration, change only the portion recorded from lenses.
@@carlomacchiavello will definitely test this out. I personally own the 4k, 6kpro and ursa g2 soo I can know for once and for all. Thanks for the clarification
I have a BMCC4K and I do not see the "lens setting" screen option with the 7.9 firmware installed.
Cool one dude 👏🏾
How often do you have to "Calibrate Motion Sensor" for a whole days shoot (while using different lens)
?
That’s a good question! I’m not too sure, I’d say just once before a shoot should be okay - it’s more a precautionary thing than anything else, the calibration might be moreso for the on screen horizon level meter but better safe than sorry!
@@GimbleProductions piggybacking on this question, do you need to program the lens for every shot? I mean if youre on the signs and slide up 10 mm, you need to then go into the settings are re adjust?
@@flipnap2112 If you’re using a electronic lens, lens focal length when zooming is often communicated - if you zoom with a electronic lens, the BRAW *probably* has this zoom information and will be accounted for with gyro.
If using a fully manual lens, you’re best sticking with one focal length and not zooming
@@GimbleProductions ok cool. sorry I typed that too fast. I didnt mean "signs" I meant "sigma" ha ha. I have the manual sigma you had.. (I think). yeah that all makes sense. if I'm adjusting zoom manually the camera has no way of knowing. still not a bad tradeoff AT ALL. man im stoked, thanks bro
This needs update firmware to 7.9 - but my USB-C is dead -.-
My BMpCC 4k is at 7.3
Sooooo close
Will this work with the free version of Davinci resolve?
I am certain it works in the free version Resolve 18 and above, though I think some features like motion blur are not available in it.
Though, if you buy the camera, it should come with the studio version of the software anyway so it shouldn't be an issue!
My bmpcc camera to my action cam: I’m the Gopro now
But it shows 100% what i hate of this cam. I mean wo stabilisation and sometimes even with this gyro, the image is ruined when moving. The roling shutter is so crazy.
This is definitely the best video on the new gyro stabilization feature!
One note though regarding the point you made about BM providing positional data for 3D artists and for better stabilization - I am 99% sure that the gyro in these cameras is just a gyro (3dof) which is orientation data only. They likely do not have a gyro+accelerometer (6dof) which would provide orientation, acceleration, and deceleration data. By way of combining those two, you could derive positional data with the anchor point being the point at which the recording started. But alas, I find it extremely unlikely that the BM cameras carry that second vital sensor to yield such data.
Hopefully that all makes sense! Again, fantastic comparison!
Yeah I kind of imagined that was the case - there is nothing inside the camera to record movement data, just x,y orientation coordinates. I read somewhere the original ursas had gps inside but I may be mistaken. However, if it could somehow pair the gyro data with 3D camera-footage tracking could make for higher quality matchmoving compared to just 3D camera tracking alone :)
@@GimbleProductions Technically you *can* combine a 3D tracker with then gyro and improve the quality of your track. It’s just that the way of doing it is to apply your gyro stabilization, “print” it by rendering in place, and then applying your 3D track. Less small abrupt movements in the footage will always make for a better track!
Another point on the GPS modules providing data - GPS (even ultra accurate RTK GPS) wouldn’t be useful when it comes to tracking subtle camera movement, it’s just too coarse of data set to provide any improvement.
Thanks for the simulating conversation! Always fun to nerd out. :)
@@genesis344 wouldn't it also be useful for when positional data isn't going to make a difference - say you're doing a sky/distant background replacement, you're not going to be moving around enough for position to contribute to the track much?
Also on a tripod shot, if you knew the offset - would it still work for that?
I'm definitely interested if it can be used in any way for tracking
Big question is can I now use the braw gyro data in gyroflow for my cinelifter
Thank you for performing the tests. Way cool. Liked and subbed !
The Camera Gyro, option isnt showing up for me. Is this only an option on the Davinci 18?
both with （dji auto focuslidar）that save bmpcc camera lower price better quality
I hope they also give this update for the Ursa Mini Pro G2. That would be a total game changer for me.
I'm 99% certain that they also have gyro sensors inside them as well, guess its a matter of time!
interested in your grading process especially the indoor shots, no noticeable grain in the underexposed areas, did you use NR? Thanks
I'd also like to know more about the motion blur effect to counteract the high shutter speed problem. I don't want soap opera effect in my footage!
Sony a7siii support 😭 please
Would love to see 50mm or 85mm portrait shooting standing still. Or even 135. Can it hold a still shot at 135 without any walking. Just hold it steady? Thanks!
I tried a Tamron 135 and yes it can smooth it, not walking around - it's not perfectly still, but way better than without.
One note is that I had to enter the lens data on the camera (you can do that if you swipe left on the screen), without that, it didn't really work (looking at newer comments, it defaults to 18mm, so was probably just not stabilising nearly enough)
Why does the GMS tNice tutorialng doesn't soft sa way like it did in the video?
ERICKSON SANCHEZ
There biggest mistake was not continuing to use the Fairchild sensor.
bruh. this is wild af lol. wow.
Hey got a task for you, use the Gyro stabilizer then nest the clip or export it then re-import and stabilize it with similar or another option and see if that improves anything much.
I’ll try! Will report back
tNice tutorials video is a godsent, thank you so much
*launches gimbal into the stratosphere*
We all gonna need wider lenses for this innovation.
Good grief, time to update my firmware!!
"This camera doesn't have stabilization" "Unlike other high end cameras, no stabilization exists in the BMPCC"
Not only does BM have stabilization finally, but it blasts all other stabilization functions in other brands out of the water.
Hey I have the BMPC4K and I cannot find the lens’s section, is this an option on the 4k model? I have a manual Loawa 7.5 MFT lens and I’m hoping if I update the lens profile I’ll get decent results, at the moment they are really bad even with a motion sensor calibration, any help would be appreciated!
Absolutely crazy
what about frame rate? 24P?
hi, does it work for slow-motion footage?
I have actually heard mixed things about slow motion footage - I’ll have to test this and report back for you
amazing
I like Zac Aries saying: Fix it in prep. But having tools like this at our disposal is just as great when you need it to fix something, rather than solely relying on it to fix everything.
I feel the same way, it has its pros and cons that you’d have to overcome - best to be aware of what works best if that’s the go
the thing is, this actually IS fixing it in prep. this is technically the same as shooting with a gimble in most respects. many many things we do in post are already preplanned and we have the tools so why not. This technique isnt to fix problems we couldn't do right in the first place,. its to give us freedom to just get the shot.
the perspective stab is just total sht. ruins whatever the shot is. The in camera gyro is pretty darn good. And, with a little better camera technique, I assume you could minimize the crop as well. Instead of running behind her, for example, ride a tricycle (for stability) or have someone push you in shopping cart! This is the last thing I was analyzing before taking the plunge in the 6k camera. Glad I found it.
Regarding the issue with the crop in the slow walk in the hallway shot, i wonder if they'd have a user defined "safe zone" overlay in the viewfinder. If you could set a safe zone of 80% or 90% because you know how the crop will behave, it could save you a lot of disappointment in post.
As I state in the video, there are still things you’ll have to take into consideration - just like walking as if you are using a gimbal. But for handheld shooters, this was a fantastic update! The custom safe zone overlay is a great idea!
gyro is the future
Hello! I have the latest davinci 18.1.2. with a license, BM 4K is also updated to the latest firmware, but the gyro stabilization function is stupidly not in the list of stubs. I shot in braw, turned off the stub on the lens, turned on the optics stabilization function, the camera automatically entered the parameters of the lens (panasonic 12-35). What is the matter, comrades? Help!
I see you said you turned on stabilisation? This might override the lens setting - you can’t turn on or off gyro stabilisation so if you had any stabilisation enabled in camera you have not recorded any gyro data and cannot stabilise the clip
@@GimbleProductions ok. thank u!
I followed this advice to a tee, but unfortunately my footage looks nothing like this. Super jittery, shaking from the edges all the way into the center of the frame. Actually looked a lot better with just the default stabilization algos.
I'm using the P4K with a manual cine lens (Meike), and I entered the lens info into the metadata area. I'm using a wide lens, 90-degree shutter, all the stuff. Have you had any luck using manual lenses? I have no idea what's going on with my footage but I'm really bummed it's not working out.
Try going down to a 70 degree shutter - that might do the trick, but also, Resolve beta 6 was released that has additional gyro settings and fixes to make it more stable and reliable, might be worth looking into!
@@GimbleProductions Thanks for the response! I am using the latest release (b6), and I just went outside and filmed a clip with 45-degree shutter to be extra sure. But the artifacts are still there, it's this weird shaking effect that looks more like software stabilization. Very strange. I'm uploading the clip here if you want to check it out: th-cam.com/video/0c-tVX5SteI/w-d-xo.html Not trying to make you my tech support, but if you have any thoughts on what's happening I would be interested to hear them!
@@lifescansdarkly That is strange, I can see what you’re talking about in your clip - hmm, are you using an adaptor for your lens? Potentially maybe you have to account for crop factor and put the adjusted focal length in the lens data page rather than the original number?
@@GimbleProductions No adapter, it's just a native MFT lens. I've read a few forum threads and I don't think you have to adjust for 35mm equivalent focal length, but I could try putting in 32mm (as opposed to 16mm) and see if that changes anything.
@@lifescansdarkly Might be worth trying out! If the lens is electronic perhaps it feeds the camera the crop information as well (but I definitely don't know for sure) so perhaps an adjusted focal length might be the solution. Let me know how that goes?
this is huge
Thank you Dom very cool. Gimble to 1k

oh maaaan i CANNOT wait to try this!! i wonder if they will be any focal length translation problems using a speedbooster etc
wow
I did some tests, calibrated the camera and all but it doesn't seem to have a visible effect. Nothing close to this at least. Weird.
It could be a few things
1. Updated firmware to 7.9
2. Updated Resolve 18 beta to 5
3. Turn off any stabilisation on your lens
4. Swipe left on the camera screen to check your lens data matches - if it's not correct, manually enter the data, otherwise it will assume an 18mm lens
5. It's possible some lenses won't work - I've seen at least one mention of a lens not working (it's still beta software after all)
why did u use 75 shutter
Faster shutter reduces motion blur - if kept at 180 like usual, the footage will be stabilized but the motion blur will still be present going in all sorts of directions. Check 2:36 for an example of this, even with the fast shutter, you can still get weird effects in your footage. You have to have a steady hand!
Awesome!!...i guess leaving more head room or backing up a little bit will make the cropping better
