Theofficial launch of the Grass Valley EDIUS X editing program will take place today at 5:00 pm on the EDIUS.NET/xwebsite. The video will be in AJ with Czech subtitles.

After the X Mount lenses 85 mm f/1.8, 23 mm f/1.4 and 33 mm f/1.4, Viltrox will introduce a new 56 mm f/1.4 model. The new lens will offer a high-quality optical construction consisting of 10 lenses in 9 groups including 1x ED and 1x HR elements; a nine-blade aperture; HD Nano coating for chromatic aberration suppression, excellent contrast and colour rendition and glare minimisation; and a quiet STM stepper autofocus motor for precise autofocusing with minimal vibration.

Cameraman John Brawley shares new footage shot with the eagerly awaited Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K! The approximately five-minute spot of dramatic sunset footage was created from two hours of footage shot in 12K BRAW Q3 and edited using only the Extended Video LUT. Zeiss CP series lenses (15mm, 21mm and 135mm).

Directors Tommaso Pizzamiglio and Lorenzo Colombo filmed a new commercial for Mercedes using the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K (except for the aerial shots, here the DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone helped)! The camera was equipped with Leica R lenses, post-production of course in DaVinci Resolve (LUT correction BUTTERY Natural Rec709). Take a look behind the scenes in the following video:
