@Adde awsome! Sounds a little like AHA! has passed a rejuvenating cure, I like it. Well cut too! What kind of crane did you use?
Which hack for shooting 720p60 and then slowing further with optical flow. I am guessing Mysteron Burst?? Any suggestions welcome.
Yeah I really like their music. I am not sure what model the jib was but I remember that the brand was EZ-jib (it must have been a really old model, at least 10 years old) =P
Shot this with a Kowa 2x anamorphic adapter with Sedna Q20a in avchd mode thus the very wide 3:55. I actually like the the dramatic 3:55 ratio more and more because it reminds me of those epic blockbusters from the 50's and 60's. All clips went through Neat noise reduction and therefor had to sharpen things up a bit and did some gamma adjustments as well. Standard picture profile -2 -2 0 -1. Half of the shots in slow-mo.
@peaceonearth There is no 720p advantage to shooting Mysteron Burst vs. Mysteron as far as I could tell in my testing. The big difference between the two is 24H. So I would just use Mysteron if I were going that route.
Mysteron's 720P stability/spanning is higher than that of Sedna, but the Sedna options may provide higher image quality if it is sufficently stable. I shot the slow-motion for Joanna St. Claire's music video (where the GH2 was used, at least) in Sedna AQ1 C with a 1/4000 shutter for the most part. I used Mysteron when filming a martial arts exhibition match. While my 720P testing is less extensive than my 24H testing, those are the two settings (pre-Canis Majoris) I would look at first. Sanity was what I used before Sedna.
As for CM, it remains to be scene how each version will perform in that respect.
@elkanah77 excellent stuff.
@elkanah77 That was fuckin' sweet.
My first test project. Used sedna q20 a. I don't really know much about filming stuff, so I am starting out with some not for profit stuff. Hopefully this embeds. I used the Voit 25 .95, the voit, 50 mm 1.1, the zeiss 50 mm 1.4, and I actually cant remember anything about my methodology or mentality regarding ISO or which lens was used on what shot. I just shot a bunch of stuff and then figured out how to use premier pro as I figured out how to put something together that sort of made sense.
I'm not sure if the quality is anything to write home about, but I hope the video is effective. I also was involved with the recording / mastering of the audio track on here.
Final Cut X crashes as soon as I go to import any of the hacks. Mysteron, Sedna. I have tried different cards and restarted. It just crashes as soon as it looks at the file. I have even Clip Wrapped the MTS files and then tried importing. Kills it. Then I resaved the file in Quicktime. I had Quicktime totally rewrite the file and it still crashed FCPX. Any ideas? Thanks.
@mclarenf1 Just to control the variables, what results are you currently getting with other filetypes? I just want to rule out that codec or FC X have gotten corrupted somehow.
@mclarenf1 If you have the SanDisk 64GB 95MB/s, then Sedna should already be spanning in 24H. What exactly is happening at the moment?
@mclarenf1 Uncheck the time limit (which is set to 4 minutes) in ptools found under patches for testers - and then check > 30 min limit too found under pathes for users.
@driftwood Did you add the the time limit into the Sedna settings more recently? I remember the option did not exist when they settings were released.
Can't remember but he needs to check. Mysteron was for sure and all Canis are limited to 4mins for safe writes. Anyone wanting to test spanning out on Canis would be good. Thanks for all your input Per. I'm still bloody busy at the moment and can't answer too many queries till next week. That won't stop me putting up the rest of the settings this week/end. Four more to come. :-)
People will have to wait and hopefully donate to Vitaliy. I think people are under the impression he gets a lot of donations - and thats not true. Most people just sign up, take the settings and leave. Disappointing.
Just donated again. I encourage anyone who can to give these guys some coin. I would say what they have given me is the difference of a really expensive lens. $20 here or there is change for that! Come on all. These guys have brought so much value to the table. Sick cam, sick glass, now a sick hack!!! I feel like I am on the bleeding edge :0)
Getting this message in Final Cut for a Mysteron Clip importing The following clip encountered an error during import and is still referencing media on the camera:
Import Failed Clip Name: 2012-05-03 20:26:58 Event: Kyle Wedding
Original Name: Clip #3 Volume: PRIVATE Stream Error at: 00:00:24:04
@mclaren Thanks, but I was actually asking - are there any MTS clips at all that you can (currently, not in the past) add to the session without getting the error? I`m trying to make sure that it is in fact specific to the individual clips as opposed to any other sort of configuration issue.
