Yep.... sometimes I don't sharpen at all. It's often not necessary as the "custom sharpen adjustment" on the P3 is deceiving. e.g. 0 should be no sharpening while -3 should take sharpening down 3 degrees right? Not the case in my tests. -3 seems to be the actual "no sharpening added or 0" straight off the P3's sensor. So with the sharpening at -2 you're still getting a hint of in-camera sharpening though it would logically seem you've dialed the sharpness down 2 degrees. Make sense?Frederick,
Not sure you went over this in your color grading video. Since you are using PP CC15 how do you sharpen your videos? I assume using USM if so what setting in PP are you using?
Or..
You don't sharpen your footage at all and the dialed down setting you use in the GO App is the final sharpening .
In Premiere Pro CC I use the regular "sharpen" filter effect. Be careful though. It's easy to overdo it as the sharpening value can go to some ridiculous number like 400! A little goes a long way and I've found 12 to 20 (max) brings back the crispness perfectly. Sharpness has a double edge. It can sharpen your image BUT it can also exaggerate moire, aliasing and artifacts. So... it's a fine line to find the sweet spot.
