Fujifilm Codecs on X-H2
This movie shows the video conversion effect between different codecs.
I put together all possible formats and converted it to mpeg4 with OpenShot as one movie.
Recorded to SLOT 1 - AV PRO CFexpress B SE - 512GB. Angelbird sustained write speed 800 MB/s.
Before I made measurements about size of conversion for each move - I placed list in first 10 seconds of the movie. Then I placed 10 movies in order below - 1 Minute Long Clips.
Number below is indicator in which minute you will see the converted clip.
1. H.264 ALL-I 420 MOV
2. H.264 LongGOP 420 MOV
3. H.264 LongGOP 420 MP4
4. H.265 ALL-I 420 MOV
5. H.265 LongGOP 420 MOV
6. H.265 ALL-I 422 MOV
7. H.265 LongGOP 422 MOV
8. ProRes HQ MOV
9. ProRes 422 MOV
10. ProRes LT MOV
The lowest quality is done by "H.264 LongGOP 420 MP4". Luckily I do not use it. You should not too!
The highest quality is done by "H.265 ALL-I 422 MOV" but unfortunately it is double of the size of my favorite "H.264 LongGOP 420 MOV" which is still a good option between quality and size.

Conclusions: Fujifilm Standard Color Simulation is a standard toned color scheme for movies and photos. I think this is optimal color simulation - universal for reportage and where we should a little limit the color saturation.

Conclusions: Fujifilm Negative Classic Color Simulation is a very well toned color scheme for movies and photos. I think this is currently the best color simulation when it comes to themes for trips and exploring new places.
Audio: This time I decided on a uplifting soundtracks. It definitely fits the topic better especially italian music.
Filmed in Potsdam the city which still is under influence of Italian Style.
Bridge (Glienicker Brücke) showed in video is called "Bridge of the spies" - the place where in 80 several time took place exchange of the spies between USSR and the West. Including: Colonel Rudolf Ivanovich Abel, Francis Gary Powers, Marian Zacharski, Anatoly Sharansky, Karl Koecher.

Conclusions: Fujifilm Classic Chrome Color Simulation is a very well toned color scheme for movies and photos. I think it works best for slow stories with landscapes in the background. But it also works well to show images from the city. For underexposed scenes it seems a bit too dark. Unfortunately, EV correction does not work on cloudy and rainy days.
Audio: This time I decided on a uplifting soundtracks. It definitely fits the topic better especially because it was cloudy and rainy day.

Conclusions: Fujifilm Sepia Color Simulation is a very nostalgic color scheme. It is usually associated with history and memories.
Audio: This time I decided on a piano soundtrack. It definitely fits the topic better.
Altlandsberg is a small and beautiful town about 30 km from Berlin.
It is currently undergoing a huge transformation and revitalization of the main square in order to attract more tourists.
I showed some attractions in this video - but it's better to see it for yourself.
P.S. Sepia wasn't a color. This is a technique for preserving black and white photos. Over time, it was accepted that it was... a color.

Fujifilm Color Simulation: Reala Ace on X-H2/XF16-55
Clips done in 4K 60fps. Color Simulation: Reala Ace (added to firmware for X-H2 on 27.06.2024).
Clips glued together without color modifications. Just add to track and export track to mp4 (mpeg4).
Video Editor/Converter: OpenShot Video Editor
Conclusions: Fujifilm Superia Reala Ace Color Simulation is very well-fitting and eye-catching color simulation.
Audio: is as it is. Wind is always the issue but build-in microphone is super in silent places. (I have MIC-ST1 so it is time to use it too, i.e. to fix wind).
One of the reasons why I chose Fujifilm is the color reproduction - on Fujifilm matrices they are almost 1: 1 compared to what I see with the naked eye. And color simulations only slightly tone the saturation to achieve a specific photo or video effect.
In the case of other manufacturers, what we see and what is in the photo/video are completely 2 different realities.
