Yes, I shot on a GH5. I chose 4.2.2 10-bit for the recording format. I then used Wondershare to convert it to .mov as ProRes HQ 4.2.2. - even though it was recorded in 10-bit 4.2.2. as MOV.
On one shot, the MOV file was 151 MB. After Wondershare converted it, it was 1.1 GB. I could then see it in Resolve, although due to the file size, the playback was quite slow.
Is there a better way to "prep" shots out of the GH5 for Resolve? Yes, I am on a Mac.
Thanks!!
I am not familiar with Wondershare or how it converts to Prores but it seems legit enough.
In the Studio version of Resolve (paid) you can work natively with the GH5 10 bit files.
Converting to Prores will always result in bigger files as it has lower compression. It shouldn't however result in slower playback. on the contrary, PR files should run smoother on your system than (the smaller) camera originals.
maybe if you work from an
extremely slow drive.. though I doubt it.
There isn't a better workflow I can think of than PRHQ for what you are doing except for buying the Studio version and working native. or maybe finding a better (faster?) tool than Wondershare for transcoding
