Try to avoid h.264, h.265, or any other 8 bit codec. Rent an external recorder that does 10 bit, RAW of Prores HQ at the very least. Macroblocking and pixellation artifacts from an aggressive and lossy codec will make a good key very hard to pull off.

We did a 16K production in 2017 with two Red Heluim 8K cameras bolted at an angle on a single tripod and stitched in post. A huge project for the National Museum of Qatar involving a massive international crew. Rolled my eyes reading this clickbait crap.

Very nice. Thanks for this :)

I am aware of that, its just not a "look" that I'm willing to spend that kind of money on. Sorry...

Agreed. This whole thing seems like a ridiculous gimmick to me. If you really want this "effect" a simple radial blur should suffice - mask the center, feather the edges - total control. I'd rather spend that money on alcohol...

I feel your pain, I ordered mine about 5 weeks ago...
