@cinemon Wow!!! That looks like film, you have to upload a video clip from that video shoot.

Lately I have been doing some work for a fashion magazine. I've used the GH2 to shoot and test making videos that are meant to be watched full screen on an iPad3 (retina display) in vertical mode. It's an interesting format. These are meant to be quick. Unfortunately I don't have a pro account so their not the best resolution but you get the idea. This was shot last month so I'm not exactly sure what patch I used though I think it was Dark Matter V3. It's also been twixtored but I'm surer you could tell that.

@mrttt I can highly recommend to go for a manual WB and check a short test on your laptop immediately. It takes 15 min first but will save you hours in grading later on. Apart from that you might not get the result you were aiming at if your corrections are too heavy. First thing I learned in DSLR video "we fix it in the post" isn't valid for 4-2-0 codecs. Unfortunetaly I learned it on the hard way by spoiling a shoot.

hey @all - i need some advice on the new patches since orion. i leave to nairobi next week (15th) and will work again on the future megacities project. i liked the constant bitrate of orion v4b and the image quality it gives. maybe the new footage will be cut together with the one of this documentary here ( http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/2730/future-megacities-the-ignis-project-documentary ). so, should i stay with orion v4b or change to mysterion or canis? it would be great if some of you would state their thoughts in the other thread. Thank you all!

@Spiel77 If you are shooting 24H and want to change from Orion, I would use either Sedna or Canis Majoris, not Mysteron. The only time I choose Mysteron is for shooting in modes other than 24H .

As far as Canis Majoris Night, it has been holding up very well in my testing and I have yet to encounter a sitaution where it performs badly (like people keep leading me to believe it will). In addition to night or lowlight shots, it has held its own in sun-drenched daytime exteriors and at magic hour, as well as in the (admittedly limited) testing involving human subjects.

That said, the colors call for a slightly different grade than with Orion, so if you have really found your rhythm there, it may be easier to stay with Orion or less of a shift to move to Sedna (note that I find no clear advantage to either Q20 vs. AQ1 overall in my tests) either A for slightly more detail or C for slightly less.

If I wanted high image qualit with "no surprises" on a paid jon tomorrow, I would feel most comfortable with Sedna A or Sedna C (Q20 or AQ1 would not matter to me). C would be my choice if there were any women in the shot that prepared to look good, Sedna A for anything else. But once I started with one I would use the other for the rest of the day (so C for any human shoot that was not girtty and A for any shoot without humans or gritty shoot with humans).

Has anyone tweeked the VY Canis Majoris Settings to work on a Transcend card?????

I've tried every one of these Canis Majoris patches with the Sandisk 64gb 95MB/s SDXC card. 1080 24p works magnificently on all of them (they look truly incredible on 24p), but now I need a good 720/60p for some slow motion. Unfortunately all of these fail with the dreaded "Motion Recording was Cancelled Due to the Limitation of the Writing Speed of the Card" stopping the whole show. Am I alone in this camp? I have the best available card so was hoping these patches (the best I've seen so far) would have the best 60p. What would folks recommend?

@digger If you record first in 24p for a few secs then switch to 720p you'll have no issues with errors. I havea custom setting for 720p and another for 24p to make it quick to record when I need slow mo.

@thepalalias Strangely I had frequent write speed errors with Mysterion in 720p, but none with Orion 4b. I've noticed other times where constant bit rate patches performed better than variables in 720p as well. Has anyone else had this experience?

@gokuan003 @mee Odd about Mysteron.

Well here is the list of settings I used for 720P. - Mysteron: Very stable for me so far. I do not remembe whether I used 50p or 60p more.r - Sedna : Less stable than Mysteron but great image quality. - Orion: I did not shoot much 720P with it so I do not remember. - Sanity: Very reliable and good image quality for the bitrate by Ralph B. - Driftwood settings before Quantum X: Lots of problems for me, especially with SMBU V1. I seem to remember that the higer bitrate Quantum v5 and v9b were more stable in 720p on my cards than SMBU v1.

So basically, if nothing else is working for 720p, I would try Sanity V5. I originally started using Sanity when I had trouble with the 720p in early Driftwood settings and it has done well on a variety of cards for me. I shot hours of 50p and 60p in Sanity v3 and 3.1 but only a couple hours with Sanity 5 spread out over a few shoots. It has done wonderfully with it so far, though.

Thepalalias @ thank you for all these precisions, I can try it out :) Too bad the hack does not take care of everything in a single parameter. So I will test soon Sanity.

@vas907 thanks for the tip on recording a few seconds in 24p before switching back to 720/60p. This seems to work. Does everyone do this?
