  • Fast grading with FilmVision Pro v7.1:

  • Nice Spizz T7 shots , but why does it look like a double layer tights are put in front of your lens? Filmconvert, right? This is not a flat image style, it looks more a la dust image style. IMHO it needs a serious grading!

  • I shot this wedding with Spizz T7 and I have to say it impressed me!

  • @driftwood - From new 'SPACE'. I try this today. Bitrate remain more costant and different to the approach of Sanity 5.1. With 16 GB i have 1h 09min. Nice work.

  • I always shoot with them off, but more because I don't like what they do than because of the patch I'm using.

  • Hi there, Re: I.dynamic and I.Resolution with these patches (T7 & T8), how are they meant to be set? Low or Off? Thanks and appreciate your input.

  • Yesterday i was shooting all day with my gh2. Then I noticed some strange red spots on the footage. Does anyone know what this can be? Dead/hot pixels?

  • off topic .. but is it posible to add cinema like d to the gh2??how?

  • Hey guys i post in here a lot and wanted to let you know that I'm selling my entire gh2 setup if you're interested in anything for your gh2 i have then hit me up thanks. http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/pho/4642068115.html

  • Reading some of the posts, from others, regarding videoing/filming weddings. 'Space' appears to be the sort of patch that could be perfect for 'locked-off' shots at the service (and the like).

  • @JayUKB 'SPACE' is for specific tasks requested from people - spanning and better quality over stock settings for long takes.

  • Damn you @driftwood...just when I think I've got a patch or two that suits me....... you go and release another one!!

  • Thanks to YOU Nick

  • Testing Nebula T8, using HBR (PAL). I used the Stray Death chart (stray_color_chart_02) - just put it up on the TV, pointed the camera at the screen and started recording.

    Used a Sandisk 64Gb Extreme Pro 280MB/s). The card was formatting, in cam, before recording anything.

    It did span but stopped at the end of the second file. Info from Stream Parser

  • @itimjim Thanks! There's nothing like filming when the clouds are out, makes it look like the GH2 has crazy dynamic range.

  • @gardner nice frame, looks great. That will colour just lovely.

  • I'm seeing that HBR files are interlaced for NTSC as well. Perhaps I was wrong.

    I shoot 99.9% in 24H, and have NEVER used HBR for a paying gig.

  • @martinnzII Then hack does not effect the way the camera is set up. The mode you are looking for is set from the camera setup menu. If you need 25P make sure you set the camera to PAL. If you unchecked any ticked boxes under 'movie related restriction' whilst preparing the 'bin' file then menu options may not be available. Reading the manual 25P seems to appear under 'variable movie mode' and audio is not recorded. It's not a mode I have used.

  • can u help me???

  • @AlbertZ Yea the actor's clothes were ruined that day! :)

  • @Gardner nice still! :)

  • when i shoot in hbr it´s automatic 25p??? thx

  • in editing software show me upper field... not progressive???

  • HBR mode offers 25p for PAL and 30P for NTSC.
