Lens review: Canon RF 24-105 f/2.8

Is this the Goldilocks Lens?

The Canon RF 24-105 f/2.8. It’s a big beast
It’s an axiom in the industry that there is no perfect camera/lens/editor/computer — you get the idea. But technology has gotten us a lot closer to perfection in several regards.

Lenses are an area that has exploded over the past few years. The move toward mirrorless cameras plus the huge increase of of manufactures in the sector has generated some amazing, affordable pieces of glass.

The venerable Canon has brought a few new pieces to the market that are very interesting. The recently released RF 24-105 f/2.8 (MSRP $2999.00 USD) is one lens that caught my eye.

I shoot primarily Canon. I’ve owned almost every EOS Cinema body since the amazing C300 Mark I. My current lineup is a C300 Mark III (EF mount), two C70’s (RF mount) and an R5C (RF mount). It’s simple to fit an EF lens to a RF body via adaptor. In fact, using a Canon adaptor can make the EF lens function almost as good ..

Insider Tips: Move Clips Using Premiere Pro’s Keyboard Shortcuts

Move clips using Premiere Pro’s keyboard shortcuts

Chris Salters

March 25, 2024

It’s a fact that the more editing you can do with the keyboard, rather than the mouse, the faster you’ll become. So mastering moving clips around the timeline using only the keyboard is a must. Moving clips left and right with only the keyboard will also help you to make more frame-accurate edits.

To move clips up or down tracks we only need to hold Opt/Alt and the up or down arrow keys. Note that this will overwrite any clips already on those tracks. This is also a good method to quickly add more video or audio tracks by simply tapping up or down for as many additional tracks as you want.

Opt/Alt+Up moves selected clip(s) up a track layer
Opt/Alt+Down moves selected clip(s) down a track layer

The Slide Clip Selection keyboard shortcut moves clips to the right/left.
For moving left and right, we can use the “Slide Clip Selection” keyboard commands. These are activated by holding Opt/Alt and using the..

Apple Vision Pro in video production

Impacts in the short- and long-term

Iain Anderson

March 25, 2024

Apple’s latest hot gadget, the Apple Vision Pro, has been the subject of more video reviews than you could possibly imagine. MKBHD and Casey Neistat got in early, and many, many others have followed. While this is obviously a v1 product, and far too expensive to see mainstream adoption, there are potential impacts on our current lives as video production professionals. In the longer term, you might want to explore immersive or 3D production — and I’m certainly looking forward to it — but in the short term, there are benefits for regular 2D productions too. Let’s take a deeper look.

A brief overview
If you’re not familiar with the Apple Vision Pro, it’s a spatial computing device with very nice displays, eye tracking support and a clean user interface that starts at $3499. If you start by thinking of every VR headset you’ve ever seen, then make the screens higher resolution, de-emphasize gaming, remove the controllers..

The Roddenberry Archive is a collaboration between OTOY, The Roddenberry Estate, and iconic “Star Trek” artists Denise Okuda, Mike Okuda, and Daren Docterman to preserve Gene Roddeberry’s legacy in all media, but especially the history and cultural contribution of all eras of “Star Trek”. In a multi-pronged approach, the team is documenting “Star Trek” through interviews with cast and crew members, 3D scanning original props, costumes, and sets, making walk-through digital recreations of the sets from the series and movies, and producing documentary featurettes.

VAD supervisor Mark Spatny, senior hard surface artist Donny Versiga, and motion graphics artist Andrew Jarvis, are a few of the members creating this experience. Check out how they are using Adobe Creative Cloud to keep Gene’s legacy alive.

Review: Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K – Blackmagic Design Expands Its Cinema Camera Lineup

Will you shoot your next major project with this Full Frame camera?

Oliver Peters

March 20, 2024

Blackmagic Design has been building cameras for over a decade – many with a DSLR form factor. The latest of these is the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K, launched at IBC 2023. This camera is designed as a serious filmmaking tool that offers some similarities to an ARRI Alexa Mini LF or a RED Komodo, but with change to spare. This makes it a good fit for an owner-operator.

The Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K uses an 36mm x 24mm full frame (FF) sensor with OLPF. That’s equivalent to the size of a 35mm photo frame. The maximum frame size you can record is 6048 x 4032 pixels (3:2 aspect). While cinematic settings like 6K DCI 17:9 and 6K 2.4:1 capture the full 6K width, other options capture a smaller, windowed section of the sensor. For example, if you select 1080 HD, then you get a 1920 x 1080 crop from the larger sensor area. The advantage comes when you want to record with higher frame rates. S..
