Atomos Gives S1H a Major Superpower... ProRes RAW in All Its Formats | No Film School

What a journey. Atomos has finally released software for the Ninja V that allows the Panasonic S1H to record ProRes RAW in all of its glorious formats, including 5.9K in 12-bit RAW up to 30p.

The software was initially promised back in May, but a technical issue pushed it back. Atomos then rolled out a beta version of the software the same day Sony announced its a7S III, but that was handcuffed. But today, it's here, and AtomOS version 10.52 should put a smile on Panasonic S1H shooters' faces as it unlocks all the supported external recording formats on the camera.

Supported RAW formats:

5.9K (5888 x 3312) full-frame 16:9 at 23.98, 25, 29.97fps 12-bit
4K (4128 x 2176) Super 35mm 17:9 at 23.98, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94fps 12-bit
3.5K (3536 x 2656) Super 35mm anamorphic 4:3 at 23.98, 25, 29.97, 50fps 12-bit

5.9K, 4K Super 35, and 3.5K Super 35 anamorphic can all be recorded and played back over HMDI. The one thing to point out is that when recording 5.9K 30p, the HMDI loop out will be in HD, while the other formats provide an option for 4K UHD or HD.

As previously mentioned, while shooting ProRes RAW V-Log or Rec. 709 can be selected during Live View, but when monitoring with the 3D LUT, shooters should use the LUT provided by Panasonic. Familiar assist functions including waveform monitor, vectorscope, zebra, and others can be accessed while shooting RAW as well.

The software also adds 4K ProRes or DNX in 10-bit up to 60p for the S1H. You can download AtomOS 10.5 for free here.

Mark Duplass Has Some Thoughts on Sundance Acceptance

Mark Duplass Share His Thoughts on Sundance Acceptance

The Calvary King delivers a hopeful message to filmmakers who didn't get into Sundance.

Mark Duplass has always been a filmmaker's filmmaker. He famously delivered his "The Cavalry is Not Coming" speech at SXSW as a call to action for independent filmmakers to stop waiting and start shooting. Duplass also historically creates and works on small-budget indie projects, including being a key member of the lo-fi, bare-bones mumblecore movement. He's also a charismatic actor who brings a relatable ethos to every role he plays—not to mention seems like an overall cool dude.

We love Mark Duplass.

All the above considered, it's no surprise to see Duplass take to social media with an encouraging statement following the recently announced 2025 Sundance lineup this past Wednesday. Duplass, hot off positive reviews for the recently released The Creep Tapes on Shudder, warmly comforted filmmakers that if you happened to apply to Sundance and weren't selected, hey, that's okay. They curate 15,775. It happens.

We all know rejection sucks, but don't sweat it. Be proud of your project no matter what. And watch Mark Duplass's full snippet of encouraging wisdom below.
