@cbrandin your case sounds familiar to me. When 720p60 footage gets slowed down a lot by Twixtor or Timewarp, sharp images are preferred. Yes higher shutter speed and stable shot. Usually those shots are on a fast moving subject. In this case what would be preferred AQ setting? Lower or higher?
It's because with handheld there is always, no matter how much you try to avoid it, some blurring. In my tests I have been able to use extreme settings that never fail if the camera is hand held. Put it on a tripod, set AFS (which prevents focus hunting, which also blurs), and a failure occurs virtually instantly if something is wrong. It's rather amazing...
I was thinking about something and I wanted your opinion. A common use for 720p is slow-motion. It seems to me that if you have gotten 720p with B frames stable, there might be an additional thing to try; that is, setting the 720p GOP to 12. My theory is that if B frames are used, and the GOP is set to 12, you end up with footage that would blend very well with 24H footage. Does this make sense to you?
nice... Have you tested these using a tripod and setting focus mode to AFS? Testing that on a highly detailed scene with a fast shutter will really stress the codec. How are the bitrates holding up - no big dips in bitrate?
A frame grab of an underexposed (then set levels in PS) 24P video: http://hares.fi/videoframe.png with the settings, shot with the 14-42 kit lens. Quite happy with the results :)
44Mbit 6GOP 24P, 44Mbit 60P, Stable Settings for Slower Class 6 Cards I use these with my EU version GH2 with Transcend 16 Gig Class 6 card, works great!
The setting that I posted was based on ptool 3.61d. The settings are basically from Swen24 with Tomaso's removal of 1080p24 High Top Setting and 1080p24 High Botton Setting. The settings are rock solid even on my Kingston 32gb class 6.
That is correct MJPEG only shows the time limit for a single clip. AVC-HD shows the time limit for 1 or more clips. MJPEG has a limit for a single clip as well as a card capacity limit. The display only shows the single clip limit for MJPEG. AVC-HD does not have a single clip limit other than the card capacity limit and that is what is displayed on the screen.
>MJPEG time limit is based solely on file size. If I remember correctly it is a 2 gigabyte limit.
Are you saying that time remaining for MJPEG mode only indicates time for a single MJPEG clip?
>The higher the bit rate for MJPEG the lower that time limit will show because it will reach the 2 gigabyte limit faster.
Should I not get a different time limit for 8gb, 16gb, and 32gb? But what I see for the time limit for all the cards is 8m20s. Did I mis-understand you on this?
MJPEG time limit is based solely on file size. If I remember correctly it is a 2 gigabyte limit. The higher the bit rate for MJPEG the lower that time limit will show because it will reach the 2 gigabyte limit faster.
For AVC-HD it just depends on the capacity of the card and the bit rate. I doubt those Top and Bottom settings have any affect on MJPEG.
Let's let VK concentrate on what he is working on. If he gets this done then everyone will see great benefit.
