Thanks for the explanation @driftwood. I have a real noob question to anyone here that could advise me. I reset the ratios to widescreen when I modified one of the patches to 1920x816 and the MJPEG settings to 1280x544 (both for widescreen format) but when I re uploaded the firmware into my Camera it crashed after a short time of filming. I took the battery out,to turn it off as it seized up with a memory card error and would not switch off (even tho the bitrate was not that high and previously it had run fine with 1920x1080 and 1280x720. So anyway I re uploaded a standard patch and it was fine again. Is this because it has to conform to 16:9 ratio and if you change it to a wider format there will be trouble in the camera? I am not too fussed, cause I can crop it nicely in Aunsoft Video converter, but I was wondering if any of the experts here could enlighten me a little as to what is possible in this area? Thanks in advance Astro

SOMEONE PLEASE TRY bkmcwd settings on GOP3ZILLA WITH DARK MATTER v3!!!!! I am testing a few other mix matches haha

@driftwood Is rolling shutter improved? (blades look very good- I wouldn't dare film that myself... something special with Sedna?)

@thepalalias @driftwood any future plans to add audio hack final setting to orion v4b??? people will sure love to see such patch a official intra film camera with a better audio recording??? what do u say?

Driftwood, many thanks to the improved high bit rates. My experience so far with Orion:

San Disk Extreme 45mbs: Outside in full sunlight, no ND filter, shutter at 500 plus.

Quantum X (v4b Orion) CBR.. works in 24p H and L, and 70p SH and H. (prior attempt with 70p SH did have a read card error but today it worked.)

Quantum X (v4d Orion) 'Dark Matter' only works in 24p H and L. Both 70p SH and H memory card read error.

So it looks like I'll stick with v4b, as 720 p seems to work.

Any other suggestions to improve 720p without reaching the speed of the card?

@islanders66 in 720p change auto quantizer to '4' instead of '16'

..has been stable 4 me.

@driftwood kuiper belt... sedna,. awesome name!

p.s. Pluto's still a planet!

@royadkins or anyone, I did check the first page but that's why I didnt understand that much or know about, which is why I asked here :D Anyways, I just want to now, what doyou mean by 100M+Max in accordance to the bitrate?

Are all the ORion patches Intra? Also, to everyone here, would you say the latest (Dark Matter) Orion patch is the most 'improved' one?

@GH2_fan Are you playing with all the subtleties of Keylight? Screen-blur, Screen matte, Foreground color correction? Spill suppressor? Refine Matte? Have you gone into the Green and Blue channels and cleaned up the noise? Getting a perfect key starts with lighting, then you color correct it, if you have time, make a garbage matte so Key light has less to calculate...getting a perfect key is a trip down the rabbit hole; you always have to experiment with your settings and other tools within AE to get something passable or believable. You are also dealing with an 8 bit 4:2:0 codec, too.

As for the little blocks, play with Clip white and black more? Then blur the green channel a bit?If you are seasoned with Keying, than ignore my suggestions.

@driftwood

whats upp... i had same prob and made set that seemed 2 work on low gop series 5.. page 4. maybe its not rite?!

@proaudio4 Basically Sedna is pushing more to the extreme levels of the matrix in terms of shadow details.

@driftwood.. I'm not finding any place to uncheck quantiser settings or to check AQ=4 in Patches for end users?

This is after I load the settings in the ptools right?

All is see is Video Bitrate taht is all checked, and Auto Quantizer for 720 and 1080 modes that is unchecked.

Should I check one of these?

@islanders66 AQ in end users, Q is in patches for testers. Check Auto Quantiser 720 modes = 4 and uncheck Quantizer setting for 720 modes in 'Quantiser'.
