    Hi. I am completely new here. First let me say THANKS to everyone here for doing such cool work and for sharing your knowledge and experience.

    I just recently hacked my camera using Sanity 5 and tried documenting a recording session I tracked last night. I set it on 24p and left the camera running in a moderately lit studio with very little movement (just the musicians moving in place) and headed for the control room. Upon returning, the camera had gone into sleep mode and when I reviewed the footage at home (couldn't in camera), the file had cut off at 21 mins. Transcend 32gb class 10 card.

    Is this normal as I'm reading replies from people getting much longer record times. What am I missing or do I need a better card?

    Thanks for any and all replies.

    I just did an all day shoot yesterday and Sanity 5 performed flawlessly. I just wanted to thank the guy who came up with these settings. They are efficient and look great!

  • Ralph_BRalph_B

    @yaros What's the problem? Why can't you turn on MJPEG FPS and set it to 2?

  • yarosyaros

    Yes. Firstly I have this patch http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/comment/24194 but the AVCD in it is to hard for me but in sanity 5 I cannot make MJPG 2 fps manualy or another way I'm trying to combine this 2 patches but it is not good idea . I can not find the simple only for mjpg timelapse patch wich not making influence to the sanity 5

    @Ralph_B Thanks. Logging in made the difference. Had no idea. Look forward to seeing your work!!

    @Ricochet Make sure you're logged into Personal-View. It might be a browser issue - try a different browser. Or, you could try single clicking it and get a page full of text. Then save that page.

    I'd like to try out Sanity 5 mixed with the Palais Audio (for my news work - shot 1080i50 for broadcast). There's a combined patch on page 8 but I'm not sure how to access the .ini file (I thuoght I could right-click to save/download, but no luck). Any suggestions?

    Apologies for the dumb question.

  • mo7iesmo7ies

    IMHO, Sanity v5 is such low bitrate, you can actually use its 24H video mode for timelapse. Simply shoot video and in post, speed it up however you like. Added bonus: gives you variable time control in post, up to real-time 24p - try that with photo timelapse ;)

  • yarosyaros

    Hi. I'd like s5 but I couldn't cross it with MJPEG timelapse in PanasonicH2 camera would you help me in that... The MJPG timelapse ia more usefull for me but all my attemps to cross it with s5 was failed. Thanks

    I'm using a sandisk extreme 16gb 30mb/s which has worked fine with QuantumX and other super high bitrate patches so I thought this would work fine too.

  • mo7iesmo7ies

    Go for Extreme Pro SDXC, it won't give you errors: walkingad.com/#SDXC

  • mo7iesmo7ies

    @RandyCatanach - errors on which card?

  • RandyCatanachRandyCatanach

    getting write errors with sanity 5 on sh and h modes with a sandisk extreme class 10

  • DeShonDixonDeShonDixon

    @mo7ies Well yeah if I had of gone in depth on the xvid part the settings would have been pretty similar to the ones on that link

  • mo7iesmo7ies

    +1 on Cineform - it has been my "digital intermediate" codec and workflow for years now. However, for online videos, I recommend the export settings described here: http://walkingad.com#SDXC

  • DeShonDixonDeShonDixon

    @tcarretti Oh and I know you were talking about trying different export settings for your videos sometime ago but I would say export you video out as a Cineform.avi format with filmscan 1 and with yuv 4:2:2 selected then after that take it into virtualdub and export out as a xvid video file for the web

  • DeShonDixonDeShonDixon

    @tcarretti Alright thanks!

  • tcarrettitcarretti

    @DeShonDixon

    Sorry! Thought I posted a link...

    Just go to page 8 of this thread and you'll see a post by subco (second from the bottom, I think...) Use the second file (or setb.ini) as he suggests.

  • DeShonDixonDeShonDixon

    @tcarretti I dont see anything?

  • tcarrettitcarretti

    @DeShonDixon

    @subco uploaded a merged patch here near the bottom of the page. Use the second one (setb.ini)

    @yoclay It's really impossible to compare the two (Really with Driftwood's it's 3 latest) because they are targeted at different uses. Driftwood's settings are amazing and I do use his night settings for certain night shots. I do almost 100% run and gun and for that, Sanity 5 is far better. I'm still not completely convinced Sanity 5's lower bitrate is better than some of the older Sanity versions...but I'm not convinced it isn't either.

    If I only did planned cinema shots, I may be temped to use one of the High BR settings from Driftwood but for a single very high quality and versatile patch, Sanity is hard to beat. Then you have to look at Flow Motion also (Which is geared more to MPEG).

    What I'm saying is that there are a lot of very good settings to choose from. Try them all and see what fits.

  • yoclayyoclay

    For those folks testing in HBR (PAL), how would you compare v5 with Driftwood's latest?
