Rambo

@Driftwood What was your shutter speed for the trampoline clip, looks like 1/60??

mozes

driftwood

@mozes My daughter makes it look good :-)
1/60 @Rambo if I remember

TrackZillas

@driftwood great job that looks smooth, you know what else the GH2 720p quality equals to 1080p on my old canon T2i

My bad, i should of phrased it better. In Ptools under patches for users, I double clicked AVC movie mode, then AVC fps, then the 60-29 option is clickable. Then I clicked the txt and the warnings popped up.

@daihard

Yep, that is always a possibility. I'll consider it. Thanks

may be the right place here for...an advice :
Which (best) setup may I choose for my footage of skiing (i want 720p50 for slow motion pp and br max 70 Mb/s)? With a lot of motion and quick and not dirty pannings... :-)
thx

I've never used that mode, but it should work for what you want to do. As always, just experiment.

@magnifico
I also want to know what setup is good with a lot of motion and for pannings.
Going to film snowmobiling.

@magnifico and @antticky
Try SANITY v2. This is what it's for.

Sanity v2 760p doesn't work with my SanDisk Extreme Video HD 16GB

Ralph_B

@antticky
I developed SANITY using Sandisk Extreme HD Video 30MB/s cards. Is that the card you're using?

antticky

@Ralph_B
No 20MB/s, this is the card.

EDIT: I did order that card in the link, but I just checked the card and it says 30MB/s

@Ralph_B
thx for advice. I am a little bit scared about 720p50 GOP Size=30 in sanity v2.
Do you think that for slow motion or use of twixtor (slow motion with interpolation beetween images) plugin in premiere pro, this huge GOP won't give P or B "poor quality frames"?

mozes

magnifico.
i did download the clip from driftwood.
and twixtor did a great job with it....

Ralph_B

@magnifico
Do not be afraid of the long GOP. When I developed SANITY, I tested many GOPs from short to long, and GOP 30 hit the sweet spot for 50P. It should be excellent for Twixtor. Try it.

Ralph_B

@antticky
Well, your picture certainly "looks" like the card I used. All I can suggest is to try a different card.

magnifico

@Ralph_B
ok thx I m gone try it :-).

antticky

@Ralph_B
Do you have 16gb or 32gb.
I did some tests outdoor today and it fails sometimes when panning

Ralph_B

@antticky
16GB. I tried to reproduce your problem, but can't. I shot 720 60P for 2 minutes with wild, continuous panning and had no problems. Are you shooting normal or ETC? 720 60P in ETC mode will occassionally give a write card speed error, but normal mode has been rock solid in my experience.

antticky

Normal mode, like the quality this patch makes, so I guess I have to order a new card :)

driftwood

Try this 60p /1080i60 fans.Quantum BETA v5. Best constant average frames for 60p you'll see.

gib

nice work Driftwood, I will give the 720p 60fps a good blast this weekend :)

gib

1080 modes stable as a rock, but 720 60fps failing after about 8 or 9 seconds.

Using my recently aquired Sandisk SDXC 64gb 95mb card.
The 1080 footage I got is awesome though :)

Howdy, Stranger!
