    Samurai has shown me its true value...

    FWIW and FYI

    I have loaded the very recently released Da Vinci Color Resolve Lite ( free version 8.x) for Windows... (and Mac of course)

    Absolutely awesome product to use.

    I am very familiar with it from a "client " POV when I take my work to a Resolve Facilty with a colorist..but to use it one self...Blows me away.

    Now... to the point..

    Thing is ...it does not accept mts and so requires a footage transcode....but...

    Best thing is..it loves the source footage ( Prores) from the Samurai.

    Outstanding application , amazing price and perfect for the AF100 footage because its HD. The free Lite version is HD and less.

    (I am definitely going to be purchasing the full version and build a suite around it for the occasions when I can not or do not require to go out of house for full Colorist and post services.)

    Beware ..there is a learning curve involved but its not too steep for basic to intermediate stages. It has power that I know I wil never get near.!

          Great news! Is there any chance to grab some Prores footage from the AF100 recorded on the Samurai? Would try it before buying one. Thanks in advance,

            are there are any good/free video tutorials for the basics of resolve? Or a quick written guide (not the manual, more to the point for the basic need-to-knows) etc.? Or do I need to pay for training somewhere or trudge through the manual?

              I downloaded it (resolve lite win7 64b) a couple days ago and tried an install last night. Lots of hardware issues, seems to want its own GPU card. . .

              I'm just about sold on the Samurai, except I'm certain that everyone and their brother will be introducing a clone at NAB, and probably for less.

                Hi Shooter.. some questions for you on this workflow..


                You want to say, that daVinchi resolve PC version can play realtime Samurai Prores ??

                So, the best workflow would be; make cineform proxy for editing..than switching to original prores for daVinchi CC ??

                I have i7 and geforce SCUDA support card, and I had setup daVinchi resolve, but don't have the clue how to start.. ( I can not load the footage in project)..

                Would be that configuration enough for PC daVinci, or I need something more..

                Many thanks!!

                  I think with a recorder like the Samurai brings the best of the AF camera. A solid purchase.

                        Thanks Shooter. I was going to order one today but was beginning to have second thoughts. Not anymore. It will be here tomorrow.

                            Hopefully not too far off the mark in asking this question:

                            What (if any) is the value of the Samurai as an external monitor? They don't talk about that feature much in the brochure... for good reason or no?

                              I think the screen on the Samurai looks good. It's not bright so outdoors it might be to weak but indoors it works.
