Focusing on ProRes HDR recording on iPhone 16 Pro , and also a first test recording wireless externally stereo audio using the Røde wireless GO II system.
I previously researched stereo recording with the Røde wireless ME system, with no success (not published).
Video shot in HDR-HLG 4K 25p Apple ProRes HQ format with main camera at 2x setting of the iPhone 16 Pro Max and stored internally.
Edited with Final Cut Pro (FCP) 10.8.1 in a ProRes HQ – 4K 25p HDR project (Wide Gamut HDR – Rec. 2020 HLG). No color grading. Some of the clips cropped.
Audio externally recorded with Røde wireless GO II, using 2 layers of furry windscreen. Overall gain +24 dB in FCP, and next lower frequencies reduced. Upload (HEVC) 4K at YouTube, HD at Vimeo.
I also examined again the landscape today, that I filmed 2 days ago (also a grey day) in HDR-HLG , especially the colors of the grass, and concluded that the iPhone’s ProRes HDR (wide gamut HLG) footage best represents the actual colors , both when processed in HDR and in SDR color space — as compared with the Apple Log footage as processed in SDR color space, and uploaded yesterday.
