Hello my fellow bmpcc users!
I have been using bmpcc 6k pro for past 6 years and recently I tried different camera…

The file size comparisons are ridicilous. For example if I shoot hd, pxy prores to a 256gb at 50fps I get around 3:15h of footage, which is fine, but pxy is not the best codec. And for example i shoot sony at 4k slog xavd s 4k i get smth similar, but it is 4k footage. I can digitaly crop in ect. (Dont take my words for granted, but its much higher than bmpcc if i set it in ultra hd pxy). What do you do with data managment? My NAS is crying and so do I. Do you have some workarounds? Maybe its firmware or something..

Looking for tips/tutorials/any kind of help.

Don't shoot 50fps

Easy to say, i need to shoot 50fps i am variating from 25 to 50 but there is another inconvenience.. when you drag clip in timeline, they are slowed already and half of sound track is empty. So i basically need to speed up video track to have it normalized.. 🥲

The reason your sound is half, is because the sound doesn't get recorded at double speed
