been ignoring sony's silly warning "A corresponding environment is required for playback of movies recorded in XAVC HS 4:2:2 10bit.", but it turns out that the free version of resolve won't even recognize them as video files.
@sneak Time for a good mezzanine codec like DNxHR HQ. This might work:
ffmpeg -i input.ext -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_hq -pix_fmt yuv422p -c:a pcm_s16le output.mov
@mikael resolve studio is only $300, and it's a one-time thing not a fucking shitass forever subscription like the assfuck creative cloud, so i just bought it. while i'm waiting for my license key scratch card to arrive from ebay, i have a cracked version that also works great.
@mikael transcoding everything after shooting and before editing is trash
@mikael also i don't know anything about DNxHR but i would imagine that for equivalent quality to h265 it's gotta be at least 50-100% higher bitrate, which means more disk thrashing (i have 18 cores and a bigass gpu, i'd rather reduce disk i/o)
@sneak Your Sony camera (A7S III?) might also support proxy encoding at capture, that way you don't have to spend time transcoding when you're back to your computer.
