    @LPowell there is something wrong with the clip, it don't play?

  • valpopandovalpopando

    @Rambo @mozes Coming soon the video ! I guess . Lee has reserved spot meanwhile for it !!!

    Hi Lucy nice to see you there LOL

  • peternappeternap

    While I'm waiting for Lee's feature film, I've learned my lesson. I had to send one of my GH2's back for repair. It's the one I usually have FM2 on. I didn't reload my second camera and it had Sedna AQA on it. (Which is the king of detail under controlled conditions IMO).

    I was watching a police pursuit last night and when the shot came up....I got a card error (Sandisk 64-95) and missed the whole damned thing.

    That's never happened with Flow Motion 2.2 or Sanity 5.

    Thanks for a truly GREAT setting Lee!

    Let me add....that's no an insult to Sedna. I still love it and will use it, just not under those conditions.

    Any Anamorhic settings into Flowmotion 2?

    Have been using a basic 44Mbit patch for some time thinking everything else was crazy unstable. Just read all 11 pages of this thread in one sitting and stoked to try the Flow Motion patch tomorrow. To be honest, used the GH2 unhacked on dozen of projects, even broadcast, and have been applauded, so this to me, is icing on the cake! Well done Lee and team!

    Also, must say, had quite a few laughs reading some of the posts ... flow chart... LOL :)

    Edit:

    Just loaded Flow Motion, though had a question, if I uncheck NTSC-Pal in camera switching, all languages option, and 30 minute removal, that should not affect any of the other settings, correct?

  • gruszkagruszka

    @LPowell. thanks for your work

    Some of my first's shoots with my new GH2

  • TheRuggedAdventurerTheRuggedAdventurer

    Time lapse using FlowMotion. Major thanks to @LPowell

  • peternappeternap

    @TheRuggedAdventurer That was stunning! What lens were you using?

  • TheRuggedAdventurerTheRuggedAdventurer

    Thanks! Rokinon 35mm 1.4. Pretty sharp but mines breathe noticeably

  • soulkeepersoulkeeper

    @TheRuggedAdventurer Amazing!! Any tips for settings used to make the timelapse?

  • CavemandudeCavemandude

    I've got Flow Motion installed but I can't get into the "Rec Mode" to change it 720P. What setting is preventing access to this menu?

  • CavemandudeCavemandude

    Oops, had my HDMI cable still plugged in. All solved.

    @soulkeeper Thanks! I shot RAW. Smooth -2, -2, -2, -2. White balance with 18% gray card. ISO 160. I didn't drag my shutter correctly, because I had no idea what I was doing at the time haha. Also ND filter helps

  • carlesmbcarlesmb

    Sorry in advance for my newbiest. I'm looking for a 1080/25p patch and I tested a few of it in HBR mode like LPowell Flowmotion 1.1 or Quantum. When I insert one clip recorded in HBR in the StreamParser, the stream mode say that it is 1080/50i, and this is usual as can I view in the users screenprints of another patchs.

    Adobe Premiere (for example) don't recognize the progressive mode, an says that is interlaced. Anyone can help me? Thks

  • nomadnomad

    You'll need to "lie" to the NLE. HBR is progressive footage (i.e. from every 25th of a second) but encoded as interlace.

  • carlesmbcarlesmb

    Thanks @nomad. Then, all of clips recorded with HBR are real progressive.

    Sorry for that stupid question, It's a bit confusing for us, the begginers, to understand the equivalences of hacked modes and the original modes, I'm keep learning.

  • tinbeotinbeo

    What is the different of HBR and 1080i mode on GH2? Aren't their the same? Media info showed both setting as 1920x1080, 29.97

  • nomadnomad

    No, HBR is progressive content encoded as interlaced, 1080i is real interlace.

    Having fun grading some flow motion V2.02 footage. Trying to go for an organic film-like look here.

  • sam_sticklandsam_stickland

    OK, I finally tested with FlowMotion v2 and I didn't get any of the PPro timeline responsiveness issues I had back in February :)

  • PixCanFlyPixCanFly

    @L1N3ARX You are good! Very filmic.

  • L1N3ARXL1N3ARX

    Another fun test with a different grading style. Loving Flow Motion right now, so easy to grade and edit, and scrubbing in my time-line is now a breeze without the ultra high bit-rate.

    At first, FlowMotion V2.02 choked after 10 seconds or so in 24H on my Sandisk 45mb/s 16 GB cards, shooting my death scene, surf breaking on rocks. Per LPowell's documentation, 24L worked fine. After formatting with SDFormatter, 24H presents no problem. Even EX TELE works. When running SDFormatter, I chose the Overwrite option, which took about 20 minutes to complete. In the past, I have always formatted in camera to clear the card. From now on, I intend to leave the card's format intact and use the trash button to delete everything, that is, when I don't have access to SDFormatter.
