The Lumix S5IIX is the first camera in the S5 lineup to have ALL-Intra codecs internally.
This makes the Lumix S5IIX a solid choice for most professional videographers... However, can you really tell much of a difference between All-I and Long GOP?
In this video, I delve deeper into the Long GOP and ALL-I codecs that are found in the Lumix S5IIX, and there's some image quality comparisons along with a post-workflow stress test as well.
If you're unsure about whether to buy the Panasonic Lumix S5II or Lumix S5IIX , then this video could help!

@jayforcinema Жыл бұрын

Yeah.. some of the places with high movement seemed a bit mushier in Long GOP. With my GH5 it was definitely noticeable so I would use All-I for fiction projects and Long GOP for documentary work. Difference is minimal, though, so you can definitely get by using Long GOP for most regular work

@Ulrich.Bierwisch Жыл бұрын

My understanding is, that this is about the original footage coming from the camera. When it's processed, it is Long GOP anyway. Re-watching it from KZfaq is even more destroying any differences. I also think that a lot of movement typically is blurred by 180° shutter angle. So there isn't much to see where All-Intra shines other than in the advantage while processing the footage. My expectation is that: if you have a detailed background that is in focus and you have an object in front that is out of focus that moves out of the frame, All Intra might show visible artifacts for a few frames in the areas where the background comes into sight. (A train leaving the station, revealing the scene with people behind the train). It might be interesting to see if this is clearly visible in the original footage and if the difference survives the KZfaq-compression. All-Intra might be a huge advantage if you use very short exposure in action sequences like sports and you want both - video and extract frames as stills.

This was great. I'd love to see a video comparing 4:2:0 10 bit vs 4:2:2 and raw (4:4:4 theoretically) in specific color resolution tests to see if there is any situation where you can actually see a difference. I suspect that the only real difference that's detectable is 8 bit vs 10 bit vs 12 bit. And chroma subsampling never is noticable, even after editing, since delivery on KZfaq is 4:2:0.

I've had a unique case use in shooting roller coasters to be slowed down in post. All-I is superior but fps becomes the limiter at around 50mph/80kph. Beyond that speed, motion clarity starts to break down and I've had to use S&Q at 120 or 150fps (10bit/All-I/422/30fps).

@BlindeEzel Жыл бұрын

There is no way to change the GOP parameters in these cameras, but is there at least some information about how good the video encoder is in detecting scene changes. Recording only differences when the entire image changes will not be efficient, so the video encoder normally inserts a new I-frame when this is the case, it would be interesting to know how the Panasonic video-encoder is programmed in that regard, and how long the GOP-sequences are by default.

@thatsreallyamoon Жыл бұрын

long gop is the way to go. The file size trade off for the performance loss (I mean is there really any loss), is more than worth it. In my opinion, if you’re shooting all intra for “performance” reasons, you’re mis-spending your money. I mean who the heck has a camera that can do crispy 4K 60 10 bit in all intra but their computer can’t play it for editing, AND it has tons of extra storage to manage those more than double sized files? All intra is only for professionals who are explicitly asked to deliver all intra contractually.

I use All-I everytimes on my GH5, GH6 but I don't mind using Long GOP on my S1 and S5II, the differences are most of the time neglibile. However the detail rendering is much more important for me (no noise reduction nor oversharpening). In this area, the S5II is a big disappointement with the standard profiles (rec 709).

@MaxoticsTV 11 ай бұрын

Great stuff!!! Great explanation with PRACTICAL implications! However, at 3:29 you hypothesize a reason for slower editing, between GOP and Intra-I, based on file size... Why? If you follow your OWN logic about how each compression approach works it's obvious that in Long GOP the computer has to go backward and forward to assemble each frame. That's what slows the computer down. In a sense, for each frame of image it works on it need to manipulate the data of 30 images, say. If you scrub ahead one image, it may have to go back 30 frames to construct it. In Intra-I, as you point out, each frame is compressed on its own. There's no need to go back and forth through other frames. Also, and I speculate here, JPG compression is built into the hardware, in a sense, of most computers these days--and they optimize the __ out of it. And I believe Intra-I is basically that. So your speed benefits from that too. Again, great video!

@smartyarts 10 ай бұрын

Hi Josh, the speed units are incorrect, they should be in Mb(it)/s and not MB(yte)/s (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMtdbJyDsdPGiWQ.html) - I have the exact older Macbook Pro like your are comparing to in this video and if you go to an intermediate workflow or with proxies, the old Macbook just works fine. Nevertheless I still haven't found out how to tell if a h.264/h.265 encoded MP4 file is intra or interframe encoded, do you maybe know? Mediainfo will not show any indication...

@JWS1968 10 ай бұрын

I think it's diminishing returns at this stage. I think a few years ago ALL-i was a big deal but now computers are better at handling the Long Gop. You don't even need to top spec, just half decent will do. But this all depends on how intensive your editing is. Are you a professional editor doing very intensive work with many layers and effects or do you do the odd video for fun. I think if you're a pro get a pro machine to edit on AND get the ALL-i to make your work flow as fluid as possible. If not update your machine as it will probably be doing more than just video editing and more power is never a bad thing.
